Who's chopper is it ? Its Impadin's...


Yeap, finally after nummerous mining rounds in the basin. Melting, more mining and AH grinding. I finally manage to scrabe togheter 12,5K gold, 12 titansteel bars, 40 bolts and 2 arctic fur's. What does that give you ? I will let the picture talk... :)

Is/was it worth it ? Hell yeah, only got it last night, but I have already had loads of fun with it. Be able to go to some start zone, grab a buddy and go for a ride, is just priceless.

Had some fun with a guy, Kimen, who also is a proud owner of a bike in dalaran as well.
But the best was starting my new ride and take a ride through Dragonblight with my great friend grandad. Both on each our bikes ofc... ;)

It is well worth the money if you ask me. Easy rider ftw... lol.
Had a quick run into an old school instance last night. Blackwing Lair. Havent been in there for ages. Wasent even attuned to it, but seems like ubrs can be soloed easy now at 80. We took all but Nefarion down in there, we had a try on him. But as none had the Onyxia cloaks, we died more or less on the first burn. Time was close to 03.00 so we called it a night.

If I dont get the time to write more before new years eve. I wish you all a happy new year and hope to see you around next year as well.

Have fun and good luck in wow and in the real world.

Christmas is near... ho ho...

Last day before christmas, and problaly some days with a bit less wow and a bit more family. Which im looking forward to.

I have been doing some raids with my new guild, Epiphany. And I must admit im very positive over it. I started the week with a 10 man naxx. We got 2 wings and 2/3 of the next on the first night. Very smooth run, very good pace and and cozy and friendly attitude all around.
Next up was a 25 Naxx, we started up with a clear of spider wing, easy mode. Went onto Military wing. Got the first bosses down no pain at all. Then we had 4 horse man up, there was a little talk about gonna go take some of the more easy bosses. But we decided to head for the riders. An what a good call. We took em down first try, was really easy. All did good, and it ended in a really good kill. So that got me my Military wing cleared in 25 as well.
Amaggeddon dropped, but didnt have any dkp, so it went to a Death Knight from the guild. I will get mine at some point.. hehe
We then ended the night, with a patchwerk kill. Last night we picked it up again. Clearing Abonation wing, and then went on to construct. All went smooth with I think first kills all the way, untill we came to Thaddius. There was alot of people that didnt knew the fight. So we needed a few try's untill people got the hang on the buffs/debuffs. Ended the night with a kill, after 3-4 try's. So full clear of all the wings in Naxx 25 with my new guild the first week.
Even got a new pair of legs from thaddius. As I didnt have any dkp, and no one bidded dkp on em, dont ask me why. They came up for a roll. I rolled fast, 100. lol. I dont know if more would have rolled, but none did. So got em for a cheap dkp price.

It was these babies : Riveted Abomination Leggings, I was in need of more hit so they where very welcome.

Which get me the following stats atm (unbuffed):

Attack Power : 2929
Crit : 32,83%
Hit : 294


As im the only Retribution paladin in the guild I cant really compare to any raid dps wise. But im laying on 3K-3,5K dps in 25 man naxx atm. I normally lay on around 2,2K in heroics.
So this guild may very well be the christmas present I have been looking for... ;)

Will end this post with a picture of my char as of now, and wish you all a merry christmas. (Will try to take the time to make another post before the new year.)



Merry christmas.

A few wise words

Was reading a post about guild finding, on World of Matticus, and in one of the responses these wise words came. They just say so much about it all.

Gear is cheap, good guild members and players are priceless.

Loken and healing as a paladin

I read a large amount of blogs and forums around the net, most ofc wow themed. Today there have been nummerous post, blogs about Loken. And how to defeat him from a paladin heal POW. It seems like all the fuzz comes from a post about paladins ofc complain about there lack of AOE healing. A thing im pretty tired to hear about, and no I dont think paladins have a problem. I think rather many have a learn to play moment they need to come over.

Back to Loken. He is the final boss in Halls of Lightning or just HoL. When he is encountered on hc, he is one of the hardest bosses ingame atm. Or atleast the boss in wrath that have had most kills on his list.

I will start with a little story. The day I hitted 80 on my paladin, I specced holy. I was in quest blues and greens. Some from guild needed a healer for HC HoL. I thought what the hell im in. We went in one shotted all bosses, but wiped one time on Loken before e went down. Where is the problem ? I will make a guess. I think its up to 2 things, a glyph and some practice with bacon.
To start with the glyph, Glyph of holy light is a must imo for every holy paladin. It makes our biggest heal, alot more effective and most important off all. It heals multiple targets.
Bacon is a practice spell, to get the most out of it. Figure out who to cast it on, and then spam the others, if they need it. Rmb it only returns actually healing to the bacon target.

My approah to the fight. I used bacon on the tank, I like it that way. And then I actually didnt heal him alot more that fight. Ppl ofc have to move at the right time. As my gear wasent up to heal it trough. But when the grp take dmg, spam holy light. That will heal all, and give alot of heal to the bacon target. And thats more or less a done deal then.

Not much to it.

Some rest in my soul


After I left my former guild, I have been using more time thinking about wow than ever before. How much emotions and such I have in the game, have scared me a bit. After alot of head crunching I decided to not come back to NCM. Even though alot of ppl would have liked me to come back, I had a feeling that alot didnt want me back. And after judging pro and cons. I decided to say goodbye to NCM.

As I have been on my server for quiet some time, I know quiet a few ppl. I have been following a project some of my other friends had started about a year ago. A guild called Epiphany. It is a guild which is more down to earth than NCM. They do have some serious raiding, but its all handled in a bit lower pace. Which is excactly what Im after. So after a few nights guildless, I decided to make an apply on there forum.

Tonight I got my invite and a new home, a fresh start. Im happy, relaxed. Really nice to have a home again, a home im sure im gonna enjoy, while I enjoy the game I love so much.
Just done a few HC's tonight with a few from the guild, HoL and VH. Im really looking forward to get into some raids with these new guys. To really see how it all is. First impression, is a good and friendly guild. People seems to be very down to earth.

Will fill you in with more, when I have more to write about. Time to relax some, get some raids in and just enjoy the content that awaits me.
