hi hi

Since I was stuck at home and couldn't get out to do any christmas shopping, I went and made this little thing. It's been a while since I drew my character.

[WolfBreath]

Nice nice! I've always wondered why Tauren can't just sit on the gnomes. BTW, I just came to realise how funny minions can be. This other day, i was with a lock, and her voidwalker said "I am Void! where prohibited..."
Roflmao! Yeah...

[nicoleC]

awww gnomes! I can make a gnome disappear in 2 easy steps! (and a tauren probably could too....)

Step 1: Shapeshift into Bear Form.
Step 2: Carefully position yourself on top of target gnome and sit down.
Congratulations! The gnome is now INVISIBLE!!! Except the little guys never seem to want to sit still for some reason.....

I have a dream of one day making a gnome warrior tank.... as much as it's a satisfying experience to turn from a svelte and dainty night elf lady into a giant bear and whack monsters in the face..... I can't help but think a 50k hp gnome with pigtails must be hilariously fun to play! XD

....but I just got my pally to 80 and she doesn't even have one complete set for her dps spec. *deep breath* stay away from the alts. stay away from the alts. stay away from the alts....... >_>

*Lures Nicole to the alts* not that paladin dps spec is hard:
Step1: Press CS. (judgements specially SoV has to stack to 5 first)
Step2: press Consencration
Step3: Press Art of War or Judgement
Step4: hit the first ability of CD

[nicoleC]

Oh really? I didn't know that I had to use judgements or crusader strike!

Just kidding, I wouldn't have gotten her to 80 without learning the ropes lol! But I did actually pick pally for my alt because I know their dps spec is fun and easy and it was something I wouldn't have to spend hours tinkering with rotations in order to play. (rotations I don't have the time to learn since I'm a bear most of the time anyway)

All I meant was, I have 2 toons now, and I already don't play the pally all that much (with her current gear I can squeeze about 3k dps out of her, and I wouldn't want to raid still having greens/lvl 78 blues). I just want to stay away from making more alts! XD I have lowbie rogues and mages, but sometimes I really want to try hunter, shaman and warrior....

but if I do that poor pallykins will never get her T9! XD (and I'll spend the rest of my days trying to gear up everybody at once!)

hi hi

I just recently started tanking on my little gnome, before the new dungeon finder tool came out there wasn't much reason to be a tank unless you were raiding (which I can't fit into my busy schedule), but now tanks are in high demand.

Being a warrior tank, however, is frantic and crazy. Big packs of things are especially nerve wracking as you attempt to hold on to everything at once while the hunter in the corner decides he's going to attack whatever you aren't attacking.

Also: 3000 damage per second with greens and blues? I can't even hit that with epic gear. Granted I have a PvP spec but still.

[nicoleC]

I've never played a warrior past lvl 1, so I can't relate, but my raiding offtank is almost always a warrior, and he's explained how crazy it is to keep AOE aggro up. (He does it like a pro though!) And even if bears have an easier time of multi-tanking....I usually run with a hunter who facepulls as a hobby (my bf as it happens, who is completely OP)... I wouldn't want someone to do that in a random pug though, but I might just not taunt back and let them die >:3

But as for my pally, she's wearing a lot of epics, but she still has a few greens and blues equipped... or rather "had" a few greens, since she got some nice drops in the new instances, and bought the rest with badges this weekend... now I just have to replace my blue trinkets and finish getting my T9 gear :3

You might not rack up big numbers on a meter in PVE, but against someone with a PVP spec in pvp gear I just plain IMPLODE! (I've tried, it wasn't pretty, there were bits of space goat splattered all over wintergrasp..... )

hi hi

I have to wonder if it is the crazy dps that does it or if they've just got their pet set to taunt things. My paladin healer will sometimes Blessing of Protection them to get them to stop, other times we just move on to the next pull.

Admittedly, I haven't done arenas nearly as much as I did back in Burning Crusade, the whole lack of time thing is part of it but its also because once you get up near the 2000 rating arenas it gets super stressful. So I don't have the really nice PvP gear that you need arena rating to get anymore, just the normal PvP gear that you can get by setting a 2 hour 20 minute timer and logging out in Wintergrasp while you draw until the next match on the weekends.

Warriors always had a weakness towards aoe packs.

Specially when they lacked no rage.

[Ronnoc]

Well that's it folks the Wrath of the Lich King storyline is officially at an end.

Hmmm not a bad end... now pass me the loot.

[Dark Mirf]

Well, for those with warrior tank. If you ever find yourself in a group with a lvl 80 rogue, you can always ask them to Trick of Trade/Fan of knives to give ya little bit of aggro.

I know warriors are technically weaker on lots of mobs than say pallies, but I know a warrior who is an ace at holding aggro on large packs, so it can be done for sure! (Hunters MD+Volley and rogues ToT+FoK does help a lot though, even for bear tanks, especially when low on rage) I don't know for sure what it is he does because I don't have a warrior myself, but he just runs in, stuns everything, thunderclaps and cleaves I think... and they stick to him like glue afterwards...

As for hunters and their aggro, my fiancé's hunter's pet is always on passive and has growl switched off, but he still manages to pull aggro like nobody's business. I think hunters are just made that way, like mages everything they do has a lot of threat... I just assume he'll FD or kite the mob back to me, and he always does!

As for the end of Wrath............well no spoilers please! My group only just got to Festergut this weekend! (Saurfang had been a bother to us since we usually have a group that is light on ranged dps and cc)

That said, being a Rocketbear is AWESOME! XD

We facerolled Festergut but failed horribly at Rotface. we still dont know why.

[Ronnoc]

We had trouble with rotface too, it requires a lot of coordination. Now my guild is on Princes and I'm starting to think that Rotface didn't require much attention lol.
