Wow_Ladies: Girl Gamers of World of Warcraft

Bah, SOMETHING is fighting something else in my UI so that I can't see the minimap at all... Going to try stripping my entire Addons folder and restarting from scratch since I have a VAST hodge podge of addons found all over the place! But BAH I say! I wanted to ding my pally again tonight :P

It's just dawning on me just how big this game really is! All being well, I'll be hitting my second 70 this weekend, and with Ally alts of each class and none below 26, I'm pretty well immersed in that side of the game and still enjoying the hell out of it. But I feel like trying out some other aspects of the game, like trying out a PvP server and playing the dark side for a change.

The problem is I've tried to play Horde before on Moonglade EU, but it seems to be a pretty quiet place, at least Hordeside; it's also RP, which I enjoy seeing around but I'm not hugely into doing myself (I originally rolled there to play with a friend who's long since departed Azeroth, alas).

So I'm looking for recommendations for a good, active Horde-side server I can find a home on, and/or a good PvP server to try out for either Horde or Alliance. Suggestions? I like a lively economy and plenty of chatter, maybe even a good social guild or three. *g*

Good evening ladies,

I come with a humble request to start a guild. I would appreciate some signatures if possible if you wouldn't mind. I am Scarlette of Arygos Alliance in the human starting area. any help would be appreciated !!

TIA

will update when finished.

Edit - TY ladies all done! you all rock /hugs and cookies :)
feel free to delete your toons

Ladies, I have a revelation, in two parts:

1. Night elves are freaking fantasic.

2. Role playing is freaking fantastic.

I entered the Steamwheedle Cartel server today after loading an RP add-on and planning the basics of my future Ally character. (I've always played Horde... this is all new territory for me.) I whispered a member of Stormwind College, the wonderful Headmistress who posted on my "I'm no longer playing" post awhile back and invited me into her RP guild. I joined, and was suddenly immersed in very interesting, very beginner-friendly role play that encouraged me to participate but also understood that I didn't really know what I was doing.

Shout-out to the Stormwind College members. You all rock.

And... my very first day of roleplaying, I went to an in-game wedding! It was so amazingly sweet and sincere, so realistic... I shed a few tears irl. I didn't even know the people getting married!

I took several screen shots, which I don't have the energy to put up tonight but I promise I will soon.

All in all, I am so very hooked on this concept of roleplaying. It's like WoW suddenly became an entirely new game, and for anyone who was feeling the end-game burnout.... well, you can understand why this would appeal to me.

(p.s. if you're on Steamwheedle Cartel and you'd like to friend me, I'm "Dressill." Female Nelf holy priest.... like, level 6. Haha. I was so busy rping I totally didn't have time to level today!)

Just out of curiosity - does Hellfire have any hidden qualities? Are there really fun quests, or amazing drops, hidden behind that fugly exterior? Is there, in short, anything to stop me from grinding Winterspring until 60, then going straight to Zangarmarsh and trying to forget the disappointment of my first visit to Outland?

Garnett (Hellscream)

Thanks for all the advice you gave me on going to Kara as RL. Somehow I seem to have ended up as GM too (argh!) cos our GM's girlfriend wanted him to play Guild Wars instead... :/

Anyways, I've respecced a bit, more towards how I play... Basically BM, and up to traps in Surv as I spend most of my time trapping in instance runs. However, I still have a low hit rating, even with some regemming, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to improve as most of the stuff I can find with +hit is in raids (can't get without more hit in the first place :P) or badge gear and I'm not exactly swamped in badges (16 to be honest, cos I spent 15 on one gem). So, any advice on upping hit ratings BEFORE getting into any raids? She's not going to be my raider as such, but I still want her to be competent if she's leading her guild :)

~~~

Random aside... does anyone else theme their names?

I have a collection of stone name variants (Garnett, Ameythyst, Malakhite, etc.). My husband's Blood Elves are all called Skarr~ and his tauren Khin~...

I've heard the bad, bad stories about women in WoW making an absolute mess of things by flirting/dancing/bitching their way into gear and groups. On my server of Scarlet Crusade, I'd never seen anything but exemplary behavior from the women I'd met. Most of my RP guild, SeeD/Yevon, are women and they are all-around wonderful gals. I thought I'd never see one of these horrid little creatures that make it worst for the rest of us.

Alas. Innocence is a short-termed thing.

( Cut for PUG ranting and lawl-ing )

Something is wrong with my minimap!

I usually have simpleMinimap on, but when this started happening, I disabled it, reloaded UI, but not effect. Previously it was OK, except the tracking button was just bottom right of the clock (!), for no apparent reason... Anyone got any ideas what is causing this? I like having Spartan, and want to keep it, but now everything has disappeared and I can't access any of the things I usually do through the minimap buttons :S

Welcome to an entry of random information and questions!

+ Since I've left my SSC/TK raiding guild I've been PuG'ing everything with my 3 other guildies. We've been fairly lucky thus far, with 4 straight weeks of awesome Kara PuGs, one that took less than 3 hours and we one shotted everything...without realizing that we had a VERY new 70 lock with us. I've only gotten Legacy out of the runs (WTB non-healer/caster gear run kthx), but it's been awesome getting free badges.

+ I've done my best to run Heroic UB, SP, SV, Ramps, BF, Bot, and Mech everyday, and I've had decent luck getting groups everyday. Between Kara & Heroics I've purchased Dory's Embrace. My only blues are the Abacus of Violent Odds and Stalker's Helm of Second Sight, and I cannot find upgrades for the life of me. Any suggestions? I'm hoping to get into Zul'Aman soon, and I found some minimum suggestions here. Do these sound reasonable to those who are either IN Zul'Aman or have cleared it? I've done the first 3 bosses before, but it was with an old guild which is probably the only reason they took me.  /sigh

- I have no desire to play except to run heroics or raids for badges. I'm very very low on gold, and I want to progress, I just can't dedicate myself to a guild with a 3-4 day required raiding schedule (I was accepted into 2 guilds and they both had either a 3 or a 4 day required schedule. All other guilds I applied to are more progressed and wouldn't take me).

- I've considered taking a break from the game but I don't know what I'd do if I didn't play as often as I do. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What did you do?

EDIT: goodness, LJ is having issues with links. Here's the ZA req link: http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/35251

I'm so happy i hit 45 tonight :) my human mage is my first baby and it's great to watch her grow =0p
it does suck, however to see my boyfriend getting slaughtered for no good reason by a fellow 70 (horde)  three times while i'm trying to turn in all my quests in booty bay.  I don't think i've ever seen another player defeat him before. He was pretty livid.  *shakes fist*

but on a lighter note, i encountered two awesome horde today, which has never happened, one helped me draw away and kill a gorilla when i accidentally aggro'd three, and the other waved to me and danced while skinning something i had killed =0p


i didn't pick destromath, but i'm starting to get a little bummed out about it being PvP :(

intro - I'm currently leveling up several alts becasue somehow like the person few posts below, ijust don't have so much drive to play with my main anymore.  She has all this lovely gear and I've just been promoted to an officer (meep - hope I don't srew up) but I think i just burned out on a hunters in general (I don't even feel like loging in on my little drae girl whom I generaly love - gah, I play too much too).  So I decided to dig up my forgotten alts and start bringing them up, at the very least to 30 (mounts!). plus its nice tosee things from a different perspective.

I spent all day getting the last badge I needed for my next healing upgrade - boots. I got them gemmed, and was fishing for an enchanter so I could greet Teron Gorefiend in style when we met for the first time.

Sadly, my Shammy and her Treads of the Life Path would not see Mr. Gorefiend. I get a tell at raid time saying "Can you bring your lock instead?" Granted, my lock is way better geared than my Shaman, but I was looking forward to healing tonight!

( Story time. )

Oh speaking of crappy bits. Did I mention that Blessed Band of Karabor dropped off the very first trash mob we killed tonight? I could hear my Shaman crying in the distance.

I know for you gals on the East coast it's just early morning, but here in the PST it's 3:30am and I'm up too, doing a project for work. :P

Anyways, after some guild drama and burn-out a few friends and I moved our toons from our old server to Durotan to be with some RL friends, and so far I'm loving it. I'm the GL of our tiny guild, and having a blast with that too. Anybody over on Durotan? I'd love to say "hey!"

Best birthday presents a priest could wish for!

( Tonight in TK, which was. Well, technically before it was my birthday. BUT IT COUNTS! )

NONE of the raid knows it's my birthday, of course. But the T5 felt very, very wonderful nonetheless. When the two Defender tokens dropped my heart just sort of went "BA-THUD BA-THUD OMG BA-THUD". If hearts can go "OMG". I lost out on T4 every time tokens dropped-- and that was every time I've seen that boss die-- so it's really, really nice to finally lose my PMC. And by "really, really" nice I mean "I was shaking too hard to effectively heal the next trash pull once I got back in the raid".

Unrelated to the loot: I'm newer in this guild, but I think I'll be really, really happy here.

( Then, later, when it was ACTUALLY my birthday, I found this in my mailbox. )

I'd been farming for this guy for ages. Every trip I've taken to visit the inhabitants of Kara-- and I've been exalted for a long time, so that's a lot of trips-- has began with a round of whelp killings. And that doesn't count the farming I did when my priest got experience for killing these things. This is. Just. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <4.

I love my friends. Even if my name isn't Kelly. XD (Really. I'm going to stop passing on all of the hilarious mispronunciations of "Célie" if they keep this up. <3333)

So. Following the advise of you ladies, I went and did some PvP for my baby shammy in order to pick up a Merciless Gladiator's Pummeler for her new main hand weapon. I like to PvP, but I have it ingrained in my head that PvP gear =/= PvE gear, so it was hard. lol 18k honor is a lot too. :O

Anyway, a few questions.

1) Am I missing something obvious here, or is there not a PvP offhand weapon for shammies? The cheaper off hand is *way* too fast. So...do I have to farm up another 18,000 honor for another of the traditional 'main hand' ones for *my* off hand? Since they do not say that they're unique equipped, I'm assuming I can do that, right? Should I do that? o.o Or is there another option that I'm not seeing???

2) Enchantments! Since the honor gear got updated to the Merciless set, everyone keeps telling me that this mace is better then even what I will see in Kara. Is this true? If so, I should be getting some heavy duty big-girl enchants on it, yes? :D So! What do you recomend? Someone told me mongoose on one, and +20 str on the other. I've also been told mongoose/executioner or mongoose/mongoose. Since these are SOOOOOO expensive, I need to make sure I'm doing it right. Suggestions? Give me your wisdom here girls!

3) All these guides I keep reading pretty much say something along the lines of "Good luck finding any enhancement shaman pre-raid PvE gear. There is little to no mail with str/ap & agility, so slather yourself in all the PvP/arena gear you can stomach farming for, save for a few select pieces." This philosophy is....hurting me. As I said, PvP =/= PvE, so I fell like I'm doing it wrong. I'm using the addon RaitingBuster though, and it looks right in general. Reassure me? Or tell me it's wrong. Whichever. :/


Sorry if I sound like a noob, but I'm new to this whole melee DPS thing. Hunters and drood trees are much easier. lol


ETA: Shammie hit cap? Do I just need a 'soft' hit cap for my specials? I've speced into the resto tree a bit for the +hit tallent, but I'm not sure how much more I need. :3 Also! What crit percentage am I aiming towards? I don't want to be ripping aggro off the tnak all the time or something, but I know I need it high enough to keep Unleashed Rage up - but how much is that?

I upgraded my PC a few weeks ago and I'm using Vista instead of XP. When I got the new PC, rather than reinstalling WoW I copied the whole WoW folder from my old PC to the new one. I haven't had any problems so far, all my addons were exactly how I had them on the last PC.

But I can't find any new screenshots I take :(

They don't seem to drop into the Screenshot folder for WoW on my PC. Anyone else had this problem? Where have my screenshots gone?

Hi Everyone,

I'm feeling stuck in a rut with my guild, and I just can't see a way out of it with these guys. There are players there I like and would hate to leave, but it's pretty clear to me that I won't be able to progress with them. My goal was see at least a boss or two in SWP before the next expansion. I've been seriously studying and learning my class, and want to put into practice what I'm learning.

When I first joined they raided two nights/week, the promise of more to come. Gruul/Mag one day and SSC the next. When additional days were being kicked around it was initially decided that Thursdays would not be raid-day. Based on that I entered into a real-life commitment on Thursdays. Sure enough, the new raid night ended up being...you guessed it...Thursday. Not only am I now missing 1/3 of all raids outright, but I'm also missing the only night the guild works on progression at all! I get that this is the solution that works best for the most people, so my choice comes down to this: either stay, miss 1/3 of the raids, never gear (DKP: it would be impossible to keep up with everyone else..so upgrading is very unlikely for me), and never see new content. Or I can find a group with a raiding schedule that works better for me. Ideally I'd like to raid Sun-Wed around 7-11pm Pacific.

I'm really on the fence on this one. I hate to leave...but it's just not there for me with these guys. I don't have an easy answer here...and would appreciate any insights, ideas, or even options.

Here is my obligatory armory link . (any tips/comments on my build are welcome too!)

p.s. I know my hit rating is over-capped, I'm going to be changing my gems pretty soon to +12 dmg.

Thanks for hearing me out :)

Two quick questions while my boss is looking the other way:

I recently got my tier 6 helm on my paladin, and as it's the first ever non-hideous one, I'd like to be able to display it. I have the correct box ticked but the damn helm won't stay on! Every time I go through a portal, enter an instance, die, or change gear via Outfitter and then back again, it goes away. I've thought about ticketing a GM but my experience with them says they'll just blame it on a mod leave it at that. Does anyone have experience with this particular issue and what might be the cause of it?

Second question is for my shadow priest. Every now and then (like, once every five mobs) my Mind Flay won't work. I push the key, global cooldown goes off but no face smelting laser beams come out. I have to wait for the 1,5 seconds for the next spell, which doesn't sound like much but it's getting quite annoying. I lose mana for nothing, get no damage on the mob and have it banging on my shield longer than necessary. Ideas?

Just a reminder, to let ya'all know that the contest will be ending this weekend, so if you haven't entered, make sure you do :)

So, I figured I could use some advice. Right now my boyfriend and I have a pending application with a BT/Sunwell guild horde-side on Stormreaver that lost a few raiders for whatever reason (I'm looking at you, AoC!).

But basically, if we're accepted, we'll be moving from a guild with the infamous 3/4, 5/6 complex, to one that downed Brutallus in May - so we've completed our BT attunment, but not the Hyjal portion (we're also both about 5000 rep away from exalted with Scale of the Sands....but no rings! :O). Plus I love the status symbol of titles :3

We have killed Vashj and Kael before, on our ally characters. So we know the fights, and we certainly have the gear to contribute to a raid - but unless the new guild feels really generous and is willing to spend an offnight in TK/SSC instead of doing bear runs, I think we're going to have to shop around to get our vials. I feel kind of.... low for doing so, but I would love to get my title back on my new main :)

I've made contact with the officers of another guild that's at 3/4 and 6/6, and if everyone involved is ok with it, I'd like to buy our vials off of them.

The characters we'd be bringing to these raids (both have something like two piece t5 and are finished farming for main-spec badge gear):
Prot warrior, about 18-19K health depending on buffs, and generates a very decent amount of threat.
Resto shammy, with about 2100 healing.


So what do you think is a fair price?


I would like to give a low price and work my way up, rather than begging them and bringing it down :D

Hey Ladies,
My main, Rothryx is an Affliction UD lock. I'm very committed to Affliction and plan to stay this way for a long time (basically until T6? Or whenever it is that locks have to switch to the dreaded 0/21/40 build).

My guild is doing ZA, Gruul and Mag, and slowly inching towards T5, and currently I'm at a bit of a loss, gear-wise - I'm not sure what gear is actually an upgrade for me, and I keep getting mixed messages.

Everyone around me seems to be getting into badge gear, and I simply can't get that excited over it. Is it just me, or is badge gear just not that tasty for Affliction? What should I be spending my badges on?

I'm more than hit-capped for Affliction, but missing about 60 hit rating to cap Destro. My miss chance on Shadowbolts over a whole run is 4-5%. So I guess it would make some sense to get the +hit badge gear, even though the +dmg on the badge gear is somewhat lacklustre. A lot of information sources I read say to cap hit above all else, and yet, I've seen some other Affliction locks with <50 hit but much more +crit do better than me in raids.

I've also been told that to boost my DPS, even as Affliction, I should get more +crit (since a lot of my damage does inevitably come from SBolts, which I spam once my DoTs are all a'ticking). So would +crit badge gear be better for me, then?

IS badge gear actually better than FSW for Affliction Locks?

What gear upgrades would you suggest (badge-based and otherwise), and which flavour of badge gear would work better in my case?

Thank you!

I have a very honest question.

I've been looking for halfway decent Alliance RP for a while. I have one toon on Sentinels and one on Moon Guard. Everyone tries to point me to Stormwind and Goldshire. Is it true? Do I have to filter through the madness, ERP, lulz, and haigaiz i r kute! to find real RP? Or is there some secret place I don't know about that eludes me?

My alt, Monkey the combat swords rogue, just dinged 60 last night. I also have all his skills (mining, engineering, and first aid) to 300 as well. Hooray!

My only goal for Monkey is to get him to 70 before the next expansion, so that my hubby will have 2 of my characters to lvl 2 of his 3 70s with. So I've been lvling this character pretty much on my own, which has been weird - my hubby and I have always paired our characters up. I got burned out on my druid that was paired with his warrior though, so once my rogue is at lvl cap, that's who he'll be paired up with for 80.

So hitting 60 all by myself feels like a bigger accomplishment than my other characters. 8D

Zoom chicken goes zoom.

So my guild lost our only mage tank this past week, and I have been nominated to step up for the position coming this Friday if I can swing it. I have been collecting a little bit of gear here and there, through PvP and instancing, but I have some questions from you ladies ( I know there has to be a few experienced mage tanks in here somewhere  ) .

I am at work and can’t access the armory website, but my character is Gäladriel on Dunemaul Server if you would like to look at my stats/build ect. I am currently Heavy Fire talented in frost down to Icy Veins. One of my questions is, for tanking Krosh, do I need to respec to an arcane/fire build? My spell hit is just about maxed (if I didn’t log out in my fishing pole) and can be over maxxed in my DPS gear, but in my stamina gear I barely hit 90 iirc. I know that Arcane Focus drops the hit requirement of arcane spells to 76, but how will that effect my fire skills while tanking him?

Also, I have read that stam needs to be anywhere from 9.5k to 11k unbuffed. I can hit 9800ish unbuffed right now, from your experiences how much should I aim for before tomorrow night (I have 15000ish honor points so I can go buy a PvP piece if needed). Also, ive read conflicting information on what buffs to use. Advice? If anyone knows any good guides, or has any other advices please let me know! I’m really excited but really nervous too. I will be the only girl in the whole Grull’s run (we are teaming with another guild) and any other time I’m topping Dps. I just want to make sure I am well prepared for this as well! Thanks for putting up for all my noobie questions, the last mage tank has helped some, but I like getting lots of advice!!!

okay, i'm wanting the trinkets.
bad. however it's been forever and two days since i had a 'twink' in those lvls.
her armory is here http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Runetotem&n=Faebael
suggestions pls..should i do healer in these lvls? or just dps. seem to remember people in our ally side not really *coughcough* appreciating healers.
right now i've been doing a little of both.
(i do like my new weapon thou...hehe)
since i do have a lvl 70 main and i'm going to start reworking on liv to 70, the money issues aren't a huge concern. don't want to drop 1kg on it thou. she's going to be there just long enough to get her rewards and move along.
thanks
(okay, i'm truly clueless on druids in general)

I have the day off work and am fully intending to spend the rest of it playing WoW, but thought I'd express how happy I am to be a part of this community. Yay!  I'm kinda a noob at WoW still - I have a lvl 32 warlock blood elf and a lvl 30 druid night elf.  We'll see how much I can improve those today ;) 

I'm a little confused when it comes to my character locked into a raid ID.

Right now, we're only doing Kara. And since most everyone is fairly geared, we blow through it in one night.

Now I was told I'm locked into that Kara raid. And I'm under the impression I cannot go to any different Kara runs. (We run a late night Kara on Fridays as well that I've taken my hunter to).

So....if my group clears Kara in one night, that means I must wait until it resets next week until I can raid it again? Or can I click the reset instances button on my character avatar. I am soooo confused. I hate just going once a week, I want to go more!!!

Thanks :)

Hey all, obligatory first post shout out to all the ladies (or hiding guys) in this community!  I admit, I haven't been able to play for a couple of months, because my computer bit the dust, but I'm still interested in the game and everything that happens. 

My raiding and RP main is a level 70 Warlock Mairead on Shadow Council (US), and I've got a level 70 Rogue on the same sever, that I'm not doing much with, aside from herb farming for flasks/pots/elixirs.

Any other Shadow Council folks out there?

Any heavy RP guilds Horde side on Feathermoon? 

Guess I should post mine too, I dinged 60 this week (Kheph is my first WoW character) and immediately got my epic mount wheeee! Then, yesterday, a lvl 62 Tauren I group with occasionally paged me and said he almost had the g's to get his mount too. I gave him part of what he needed and he got the rest through the AH, and the two of us took our new mounts down to the Tauren starting area and terrorized the newbies with complete silliness. Then we went to the Darkmoon Fair and drank ourselves even sillier :D Great way to start the long haul to 70 :):)

I posted last week in http://community.livejournal.com/wow_ladies/5926522.html about a contest a guild on my server was running to give someone a shot at T6 for sending in herbs. Just thought I would post with an update!

 

Well, as I said my boyfriend and I don’t lose. We actually won by about a 60 point margin! Yay! So, Drek got his BT run last night! Not only did he walk away with 2 piece T6, he got the priest on a stick from Bloodboil and some healy gloves and bracers! He was so excited, and touched that someone would do this for him. And I was more than happy to do it for him! I run my own little guild and I have tried to do something really nice for each of my members when they hit 70. I have everything I want in the game at the moment, so as far as I’m concerned it’s my turn to share the wealth. It has actually inspired the rest of my guild to do the same. Everyone in my guild has been super helpful and donating lots of random things to the guild bank that they think will help… and there is already talk of winning the contest next month for another guildy! So much love in Nagosidhe right now it’s amazing!

My boyfriend and I are amazingly frustrated with the game presently. We recently transferred servers, on word that there was a guild on the new one that would be a perfect fit (saw an advert, spoke to the recruiter, etc), light rp, light/medium raiding with progression in mind, and aid in gearing up, light/medium pvp, old world content still being run.

Awesome. Everything we want! So, we put in a transfer. The recruiter contacts me and said there's a problem with the guild, and they will be restructuring, but it's okay as long as we don't mind being guilded during a bit of upheaval. We'll still have a place. Okay. Transfer finished. We go over, and chat with them a bit here and there, put in applications on their guild website, things are still rocky, but being worked out!

Until a few days later, when there's a message stating the guild had disbanded. But it'll be okay, she'll still get us in with good people, promises of guilding with friends, and what do we want in a guild?? So, I send her a message, detailing everything. Oh, maybe this one, but they're heavy rp, or maybe this one, but they're not doing old world, and want committed 3x week raiders, and you have to be geared.

...

And that was almost a month and a half ago. And the last we heard from her about this. We've spent almost $100 to get ourselves transferred, and not even a word of hello, or a general inquiry of how we have been doing.

My boyfriend has posted a few times on the server's recruitment boards, stating in great detail what we are looking for, but nobody wants under-geared people. The battlegroup there is awful too, and it would take weeks of grinding to even begin getting the marks needed for those purples.

It's been about two weeks since I've even logged in, because it's too depressing to yell for groups for 90 minutes, only to be invited, added, then told I'm not geared well enough, or someone's friend is getting the spot instead. I'm at a point where even the thought of the expansion is no longer intriguing, which makes me amazingly sad. Usually, after a little while, the burnout passes, but this time it's just sinking in deeper and deeper.

What do you think ladies? Straw that broke the camel's back, or have I just given up too easily?

hello, i left Alleria for MoonGuard. i was hearing great things, was talking to someone etc etc etc but the guild i was set to join disbanded. so i am left guildless except for my small vanity guild.

this is disappointing and has taken 99% of the fun out of the game for me as i have not been able to find a different guild.

i've posted a few times here and left a comment now and then, so i'm not well known, regardless, i am here asking if anyone is in a guild that would take me.

here is the armory of the character i am looking to get guilded: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Moon+Guard&n=Pyrros

he is 64 and not well geared as i tend to let someone else get the loot before me figuring i will get it later, well, we see how that has gone, and since all of my groups are PUGS, well, as we can see it does nothing to help me get any gear.

i enjoy light RP, casual raiding but am willing to do more than casual raiding. i greatly enjoy the old world dungeons and honestly have not seen any BC ones outside of ramps/citidal and slavepens(once). but i want very much to see the new stuff.

i have been playing WoW since release, my first character was a NE hunter that was in a raiding guild on Alleria,(you know, MC, Ony etc etc back when they were 40mans) but burnout and loot drama brought that guild down before BC was released. so when BC was released, i deleted all my old characters on Alliance side and started over with shiny new Bloodelves.

i know how to play my class, but am always open to advice and do know how to raid i just need a quick bit of guidence on my first or second run through a new place. back in the day i was often elected the one to pull on the raids.

so, instead of just whining in someone elses LFG post, i'd make my own and whine here and ask for a guild.

i hope for the best as i'd like to enjoy and play the game once more.

Wow, I had to share this because it's the single jerkiest thing I've ever seen anyone do in WoW.

Last night I managed to get into a PuG to do the quest "The Ata'mal Terrace." For those not familiar with the quest, you have to kill three 70 elite Illidari orcs who summon a crap ton of regular 70 orc warriors, then summon another elite and kill him for a gem that you turn in to Akama to complete the medallion of Karabor.

This Tauren (shaman I think) had been hanging around the terrace on his flying mount, and when he saw us start the fight he /cheered at us and clapped and I thought "Wow, that's cool" considering that we were Alliance.

Until what he did next.

He parked himself right by the summoning orb you click after you kill the initial mobs, then once we had cleared the elites and the adds, he summoned the other elite and whacked it once--graying the mob for us! We had to kill it because otherwise it would have killed us, and we couldn't run away because we hadn't cleared the whole zone up to the terrace and we would have been axed on the way down. So we just had to take this guy down then watch while this @#$#ing Tauren looted our kill and completed the quest for himself! And then, of course, we had to wait for the mobs to respawn and do the whole thing again!!

Seriously, how rude can you get?!

...So my petty revenge was to /slap him when I saw him in the Warden's Cage when I went to turn in the quest. Honestly though, now I find it more funny than anything, how much of a loser do you have to be to pull something like that?

So, I've been part of this community for quite some time, and replied to a few posts here and there, but this will be my first post of my very own. Here's hoping I get all the tags and cuts right and such. :)

( Here's the yadda yadda about me and my characters. )

( Here's the part where I'm looking for a home for my troll shaman on Moon Guard. )

I was browsing around websites and found this. http://foreveranoob.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/a-rogues-guide-to-karazhan/

I thought some people might like it as I've seen some "I'm rolling a rogue!" posts around. =P

So I have terminal alt-itis. I'd like to roll a Draenai shammy, just to have some fun. I'd like to have her on an RP server, just cause I like coming up with backstory and I'd like to use it for once.

So I already have 10 characters on Quel'Dorei...and I felt like such a noob trying to make her on VeCo with my Horde characters. *sad panda face*

So my question is...what's a good RP server for Alliance? Any good guilds for a stay at home mommy? I have so many alts cause Hubby and I play in pairs and sometimes I just want to solo and then he makes a character to play with the new one, lather rinse repeat. Moon Guard? Bronzebeard? I remember reading something about Stormwind College and that sounded really cool.

Also, I really need to invest in a damage meter, and am not sure of which to go with. Any suggestions?

I am not normally a film Noir fan but this machinima is worth sharing... and its got a great story line and music! :)

enjoy

Man, I post way too much to this comm. I hope y'all don't think I spam.

Have you ever found that, with a class you don't really like playing, all it takes sometimes is playing a different race?

I mean--I didn't absolutely loathe playing my draenei shaman or anything, but I pretty much only kept her around because she was my only toon with fishing skill and I needed her to farm Oily Blackmouth for my alchemist. I felt really meh about shammies.

But then I rolled my lovely orc on MG, and I'm having an absolute blast dashing around killing things with her. Her name is Laikah, and she has apple-green skin and a badass purple mohawk, and she enjoys beating things with sticks. She's low-level yet, but I have never had so much fun tearing through Tiragarde Keep and killing every sailor in sight.

It's a bit like how it took a draenei to get me to love pallies (and now she's my main), and I couldn't get into priests until I rolled my dwarf.

Is that just me, or do you guys know what I mean?

I finally made my goodbye post to the small guild alliance forums last night. I'd been procrastinating on doing it, because I had way too many things I wanted to say and didn't know what to say and what to leave out.

( drama, drama, drama )

TL;DR -- Friend of mine got majorly shat on by a supposed friend who also happens to be a Council member and her raid leader. Also, said goodbye to my former small guild alliance, and responses are either nonexistent or being deleted.

After two months of no raiding due to summer Oblivions Caress finally got a 25 man raid together.

Obilvions Caress 1: Magtheridon 0
Obilvions Caress 1: HKM 0
Obilvions Caress 1: Gruul 0
Obilvions Caress 1: Void Reaver 0
Obilvions Caress 1: Solarion 0

(The Solarion kill was awesome as we'd only killed her once before)

It was nice to be raiding again, 6 of our DPS consistantly stayed about 1000DPS, alot better than before the break.

But the best part?

( Flaming Death! )

This is a long shot, but..


I'm on Earthen Ring , and I want to re-roll on Area 52 Horde.

I would like to take about 300g with me, if anyone is in a position to trade me.

I can give you gold on Earthen Ring on Horde or Alliance side, I'm looking to transfer about 500g.
I have my own casual raiding guild on Earthen Ring Alliance, and I'm known on my server so you don't have to worry about me taking off with your gold.
Thanks.

YOU CAN DIE.

It is NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO BABYSIT YOUR BRATTY CHILD ON THE INTERNET.
No I DO NOT CARE that your pwecious wittle baby saw me type the word "fuck" when you died and I stopped getting heals.
Either sit the thing down in front of Baby Einstein while you play or turn the profanity filter on, but DO NOT start telling me, in broken redneck English, no less, why I am a horrible person for my choice of words and that I am scarring your kid.

I DON'T CARE.
This game is rated T FOR TEEN and GAME EXPERIENCE MAY CHANGE DURING ONLINE PLAY.
Besides, at 6 months the damn thing can't read anyway! What does it matter?! Rip it off the tit or get off WoW and go pay attention to it, but don't funk up my BM run (where you were the PuG, and not that good- oom in one wave? Spell damage gems? as a healer? what? no. just no.) with your self righteous "I had children so I'm a better person than you for procreation" entitlement.

again, I DON'T CARE.
Go ahead, report me. I don't give a shit, but if I did, you and your bratty crotch goblin would be the first to receive it.



(Summary! Some shitty pug resto druid in a heroic BM run got all piss-ass offended at the language my guildies and I were using. This is what I want to say to her, and then trip her down some stairs, kid and all. I hate mothers that just let their precious little angels scream their heads off, and I can imagine that this woman was one of those. UGH.)


(Edit. I do NOT MIND parents that AFK or something to change a diaper or whatever. I do NOT mind parents that don't expect me to be responsible for their kids. I don't mind half the parents in my guild. Some kids are fine- I never want any, but I love my little nieces and cousins, as LONG AS THEY AREN'T SCREAMING AND BAWLING IN MY COMFORT ZONE, OR TOUCHING ME WITH CREEPY HANDS. Also, those parents in the movie theater that let your kids scream can all die, btw. Why is a 9 month old at a 10 o'clock showing anyway? Shouldn't it be in a crib?)

/rant

I'm wondering, right now, I have the spellstrike pants, Should I save up for the legwraps of sweltering flame? I'm just unsure as to weather the flame pants are worth losing the spellstrike set bonus or not?
 I've also capped out my hit & I'm wondering, Should I just gem for straight damage now or spell haste? Does Haste have a cap too?

I've been using maxdps.com to help as a guideline for finding upgrades & such. How reliable is that site? Is there a better one?

I'm honored with the sha'tar, Am I pretty much stuck running heroics over & over to get to Revered or are there quests/object turn ins I can do too?

I'm trying to get everything organized so I know what I need to be working towards. I still need new trinkets,rings, and get everything enchanted. So much work to do. haha. Oh & I get to go to ZA tomorrow! =D We went Wednesday as a spur of the moment thing and downed the first & second bosses before people had to leave!

Thank you so much for any help you can give. It's really appreciated! Sorry I sound like such a spaz..Just excited. haha <333
& I leave you with my forum sig so this isn't AS boring. ; D

Edit: I'm a fire mage btw! Forgot to throw that into the post at first. I'm Sorry!
