Poshspices sexchange

Yeah, you heard it right, the new tabloid headline. Poshspice have had an sex change. The newest within plastic surgery.

????

Yeah, ok back to reality. Or online reality. I'm a sucker for big shoulders, it has been referede to as the "big-ass" shoulder syndrom. I just like the males models better, because the shoulders and gear in general looks better on em. There for a few nights back, I took the creditcard out of my wallet and changed the sex on my priest, poshspice.

What else, ohh yeah. I turned 80 with it. Yes sir. Took 5,5 levels in 5 days. I was hooked on the leveling process and took it all out. Became 80 in a bit over 8 days, played time on it. Pretty good time if you ask me.
Fun part is, that my achivement sheet, dosent count my first "Badge of heroism". But have a full cleared naxx 25, with some achivements along the way inside as well. Game balance or ?
Also got my first naxx 25 loot last night, a pair of off set shoulders.

I have decided to go Disc with it, actually that has been the idea all along. How is it like ? Its actually pretty fun. And a bit different. I feel I have alot of tools and most important different spells to use. It dosent feel like a 1-2 button spam build. And I had windows of fun, in the well known content last night actually.

I will point one of em out, the best of em. 4 horsemen. A short trip back in time. My first encounter with em, was short after Wrath came out. My paladin was holy and rdy to rock. I was assigned to heal in the back. And damn I sucked. I caused nummerous wipes, because I stacked both debufs back there. I couldnt manage. Failure with a big F.
Back to last night. We entered the room, and it came on Vent. "another healer" and posh to the back, healing the tanks there. Ohh, shit. Here we go again. I was back as paladin healer, crying in the corner. SLAM!!!!, shape up. Just focus. You know the fight now, just do your thing. But im poorly geared and ..... Shut up, focus. You can do it.
Just think of spice, think of her beauty. Make her proud. And off we went. I keept my shields up, when it broke. Penence, flash heal. Move out of the voidzone, look at the stacks. Time to move, shield tank, Prayer of mending when moving. Flash, penence. Are the stacks fine. I keept the focus, used all I have learned in the short 2 days as Disc healer. And my tank survived. The raid succeeded and down they all went. Success and a great fight.

I really enjoyed myself in the new role, and through the night me and a paladin healer, Neamek. Keept the MT up in most fights, just the 2 of us. Which was fun. Im surely gonna play some more on this one, to gear it up. And have it come along on future raids, maybe even Ulduar at some point.

Sidenote, im thinking of letting impadin go holy, for a little while and do some pvp with him. Maybe even some Arena. So if you need a 2vs2 partner and you play on Trollbane EU. Maybe drop me a mail.

Ohh, well time for me to head back to the work. And maybe some more disc healing tonight.

PTR Build 9722

There is alot going on, on the nummerous builds we see on the PTR. Alot of em are test's which may or may not come into Live. Nevertheless lets have a look at the latest stuff.

I will look at the Retribution stuff in it, as we all know that is what is most important.

* Divine Storm now causes 110% of weapon damage to up to 4 enemies within 8 yards.
As I can get out of it, the heal mechanic off it is gone, and the damage have been upped with the ekstra 10%. The heal havent been ground breaking in PVE. So I welcome this change, as that is a straight up damage buff to us in PVE.

* Righteous Vengeance now also affects Crusader Strike.
Now see here is some eye candy. Crusader strike as it is now, a very low part of our damage. This will help on it. Very nice. This will problaly have us to rethink our rotation a bit. Even rethink libram as well. But as im aware of the only glyph for Crusader is the lower mana usage. So no glyph changing on this one.

* Judgements of the Wise now immediately grant you 25% of your base mana. (Up from 15%)
This is the first in 2 steps blizzard have made to up our mana regen, after they have taken away SA from us. Will seems to be a thing that will go into Live. As long as our mana is like it is today, then im happy. Needs to be run with in Live before I will make any judgement upon this one.

The next part, is a thing that not will come into Live in 3.1, maybe later. Its simply a test blizzard have thrown out, but not to go Live anytime soon. (Source)

* Crusader Strike is now An instant strike that causes 110% weapon damage. In addition, if you strike a player while they are casting, their magical damage and healing will be reduced by 50% for 6 sec.
Then lets move on to the glyph department. As here is a glyph, that problaly will be mandatory I think. Its a remake of the Glyph of Blood, as the old became worthless when they removed SA from us.

Glyph of Seal of Blood -- When your Seal of Blood, Seal of the Martyr, Judgement of Blood, or Judgement of the Martyr deals damage to you, you gain 11% of the damage done as mana.
Step 2 of blizzard way to give us our regen back. Im pretty sure blizzard have simply reworked our mana flow around these 2 changes. So this glyph will be mandatory. But lets see, when we get to run with the changes in Live.

Im not very sure how I will place my points atm. But been looking a bit on the talents. And could set em like this - Build
But im in no way sure how I will place em just yet.

Hybrid vs. Pure clarification

As we all know, the hybrid vs pure dps talk is steaming hot. And it surely have its right to be. As it means alot to people playing and living in there class, like most of us do. We want to feel wanted. To feel usefull. I dont think its all about being on top of the e-peen meter, even though it always is a nice bonus. But to feel wanted and needed in a raid, that whats count.

Therefor I was happy to read this part of a blue post -

....We want you to get a spot because you know what the blank you're doing, not because your class is programmed to always do top dps or inflate raid dps through a miraculous spell that you impart by clicking a button every 30 min.

Play your class to the best of your ability. If you do so, you will be very high on the damage meters, even if you are a druid, priest, warrior, DK, shaman or paladin. You won't top it on every fight. Some fights are better for some classes than others. Some players have better luck. Over time, the trends will emerge and most raiding players will figure them out. For our part, we will keep jimmying the numbers to get the results we want.

This is so important, atleast to me. Take your friends along and have a blast. Take the good players along when you need to push content. Dont take em because they have a "ohh, so imba button to push every 30 sec.".

Bring it on.

Good craice, we have old school dungeons

I dont know what brought it to my mind. But on my home trip in the train, I got a lust to go UBRS. Yeah, you read right. Upper Blackrock Spire. Why ? I dont know.
I have always been a big fan of the old instances. There is some good new ones, but the likes of Dire maul, UBRS, LBRS, Scholomance and my all time favorite Blackrock Deep (BRD). I think the design and the atmosphere in em, are far better than what the newer dungeons have brought. Maybe it has something to do with, that they was actually hard to master back then.
There are a few good new dungeons, I like Shadow Labyrinth alot as well. And Halls of Stone, as my favorite Wrath one. But the old ones, are the best in my book.

Well back to my crazy idea. UBRS, so I got my fly trip from If to Thorium Point settled, and went into Blackrock. I had teamed up with a DK from trade channel and a druid from my own guild, Ealan. As we need to be 3+ to get past the first boss. And off we went, I have on a casual plan, collected the D1 set pieces when I have come across em. So it quickly for me turned into getting the pieces I could from this place. We landed at the Beast, the good old big dog. Remember him back in the days, when you kill him the small gnome comes out of him. Brilliant. We ofc took him down easy mode. And BAM!, Lightforge shoulders. Nice, one more piece to the collection. Was missing two pieces now, Breastplate and Headpiece.
On we went to pay General Drakkisath a visit. Again and easy mode kill. And what the fcuk.... Do my eyes deceive me. Lightforge Breastplate. How lucky can you be ?!?
Not that I complain, but remember gathering this set on my old paladin, was a pain to say the least. We ended our trip to take the achivement, LEROYYY!!!!!!!!!. Hadent taken that one on Impadin yet, so one more to the book.

After my success in UBRS, I decided to swing by Scholomance and give my luck there a few times. Afterall, I had have good luck in drops so far.
I ran past most of the mobs, just kille the bosses and the mandatory thrash. Yes, you need some of the thrash to, The school have been set... :)
And there he spawned, the master himself, Darkmaster Gandling. Easy mode kill in my shiny, T7.5 gear, My betrayer really, betrayed him there. Loot time.
I dont know how this can happend, but I must have been buttered in lucky butter this night. Yes, you are right. Lightforge Helm. And not only that the epic staff dropped as well... lol.

So I proudly presents, Impadin the Lightforge.


So after some time in boredom and nothing to do. I actually had a fun night in the game. Maybe I should figure out small goals for each time I log on. And not just log on to log on. If that makes any sense.
