WORLD OF WARCRAFT: ZOMBIE SQUAD GUILD!

[Deschain]

The invasion items are ludacrisly weaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak. Lame. But good AD rep. Anyways, I'm looking to run Strat/Scholo and can't find anyone to come with, or the people who do are dunces. What say you to the Zombie Squad Strat/Scholo run? Big instances, but with a bunch of mid/high sixties and 70's, it's a breeze. Me and two boomkin cleared ALL of strat in an hour. Every boss, every mob, almost.

Two instances will probably get you from friendly to honored with AD, possibly more, since all the mobs drop scourgestones, and a lot of them give AD rep. More than a few also drop bone fragments, and crypstalker parts, which are for AD quests. Plus, you get an ABSURD amount of runecloth. Runecloth=horde rep/mad skrilla.

So, who wants to come along?

Des:

I'm in. As soon as I can get the hell out of Iraq and near a decent internet connection.

Regarding the aforementioned getting the hell out: Unit's jerking me around about when I'm leaving. I'm due to redeploy in less than two months but the local officers and NCOs want me to stay. Already gave me my own shift to lead and are talking about promotion to Corporal. If I'm the last, best hope for mission, god help the rest of this unit.

Anyway, I won't know if or when I'm coming back to the States for another couple of weeks at least.

I need to get off my ass and start packing just-in-case. Because I know if I don't pack then Murphy's Law will strike with utmost fury and I'll have to last-second everything when it turns out that I -am- leaving after all!

[Deschain]

Well, Lich King dropped. I'm gonna get it today, and probably end up replacing my Crafted T2 (Shadoweave and Spellfire, I have both) with a bunch of greens that make me look somewhere between Raggedy Anne and child with a snowsuit underneath his Halloween costume. Hooray for trading purples for greens again! Penny Arcade put it best:

"...The moment he broke into Outland, however, strange pigs were dropping better things than he had earned - a phenomenon we described, appropriately enough, on a garment. His precision ensemble began to slough away as he replaced it with whatever spectral lingerie he pulled off his kills. Add to this the unavoidable fact of his profession - enchanter - and his old equipment was being obliterated immediately. Enchanters don't see any item in its current shape, which is to them a kind of irrelevant cosmic accident. All they see are the weird dusts and mystical shards an item may be distilled into. The effect this had on his formerly resplendent getup is a vibe somewhere between pimp and clown. "- The Ungift, Part 2

As a side note- I was there when frost-dragons and abominations attacked Ogrimmar, and helped fight them off with Thrall.

Jealousy.

I'd better not tell you about the fun in Northrend, then. Put it like this: at 2000 today, there was an 800 person queue just to get onto the server.

Yay new tailoring pats!

[WoG]

I'll roll a DK on Magtheradon when they open up the DKs on all servers.

[Deschain]

Wow...tailoring is painfully nerfed. The best it can offer is pretty lame:

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=42102

C'moooooooooooooooooon patch! Fix daddy up a set of t5 tailoring pats!

[JibbaJabba]

Unless the unthinkable happens and last-second paperwork actually gets approved, I'll be back in the land of Decent Internet Connections the second or third week of December, and hopefully online not long after.

When that happens, expect to see me around a lot.

Can you make a teddy kodo for Beefy?


Now there's an idea... hold the stuffed doll in the main hand while resting for a given length of
time, and gain spirit accordingly.

[Gundown]

So I'll be back in a couple of weeks. I'm going to transfer my mage over to Mag and I'll be good to go. I'm just waiting to make sure my company isn't going to ship me off to Florida for a month before I reactivate my account.

[JibbaJabba]

Fuckin' A, man

I'll be back in about 10 days. I actually get back stateside in like 4, but you have to factor in a week's worth of bullshit inprocessing and safety briefings ("Don't kill yourself, don't beat your dog, don't rape your wife, don't drive drunk, practice safe sex, etc etc etc").

Not that I need any of these pearls of wisdom, but the officers have to be able to wash their hands of liability should anything somehow happen. Hey, they TOLD me not to do stupid stuff! It's not their fault I disobeyed!

I'm actually 77 right now, and my tailoring is getting up there too. If you need herbs, talk to me- though, if Jibs comes back and wants to take over my duties, I'll switch profs to something the guild needs.

Currently, I think we need a profession rollcall. I'm not entirely sure we have an enchanter, and my lock is an engineer. I'm pretty sure that we don't have a dedicated JC, no alchemist, no enchanter, no inscriber. Most profs are pretty low level, so if you need mats, I'll try to help out with gold or whatever.

Deschain

[velojym]

Allakajym is a JC, but he's only at lvl 20 right now... and I don't have a lot of time to play right now... I'll
log in and do what I can when I can, though. He'll get a little more play than the other guys, as their profs
aren't as rare as JCs.

Beefyjym is a miner/'smith
Redjym is a skinner/leatherworker
Deadjym is herbie/alchemist
Allakajym is miner/JC

[JibbaJabba]

Bentmywookie - Herbalist/Alchemist
Jannedela - low-level Tailor/Enchanter (iirc, I may have dropped enchanting for something else)

[Deschain]

MAKE MOAR POTIONZ!

Seriously, I need like 10 Greater Arcane Protection. And they're good to have on a guild scale. Ideally, I'd like to see every profession represented. I've gotten pretty far on crafted gear- hell, almost everything I had was crafted until about now, and even then I'm just down to four items. Five items? Anyways, they really give some oofph. Enhancement like enchant/inscribers/jc are good to have, and damn near essential at endgame. Even doing heroic instances, it's hard to run without propper kit.

AND ANOTHER THING!

We have the weirdest ratio of classes ever. Need more tanks, though with Catrinka and Gencide having made DKs we should be pretty good. We need heals (not it!), and we're pretty set for DPS. Not entirely sure about crowd control. If pick-up instances have taught me anything, people are jackasses. They will screw you, be screw ups, and if anything cost you money.

Anyone contradict me?

Deschain

[velojym]

I've yet to make it all the way through an instance with a PUG, with only two exceptions.
Those were both using my own toon as a guide for lower lvl players. Neither time did I
request gold at all, though one player did insist on paying me 5g, which I appreciated.

Selling the goodies brought considerably more than that, though.



Then there was that time a high level mage took me through RFC... twice

[Deschain]

Dammit Jim, I'm a priest, not a vending machine!

Oh, and I finally got an AOE, and it's the most bizarre, kick ass thing ever. It's like a mind-flay AOE.

Deschain

[JibbaJabba]

Bentmywookie can tank.

I don't have a lot of personal experience with any instances above maybe Hellfire Ramparts, but as long as you're patient enough to tell me "Ok don't move, now I need you to pull the guy with the skull, etc etc etc" then I do great.

I understand tanking mechanics and how to tank as a Feral Druid, I just don't know the enemies/patrols/bosses of the vast majority of the instances out there

So I may or may not get the party wiped, but you can rest assured I won't Leeroy Jenkins it on purpose

I'm kinda tired of tanking though, seems like there's always a shortage of tanks so I always end up in that role. I'd really like to go Lazer Chicken or Tree for once.

[Deschain]

PEW PEW KFC

The other thing we're always short of is healers, Jibs...

[JibbaJabba]

Well, you can either have a great tank who is also a kinda OK healer (Feral Druid with 5-10 points in Resto) or you can have the best healing in the game (Tree of Life) who is fucking abysmal at tanking and dps.


Also: I plan to move Bentmywookie to another server TEMPORARILY so that I can chargen a Death Knight there, then I'll be moving him back. I have a couple of Army buddies on that server that I couldn't convince to come to Magtheridon

[Deschain]

Hells yes, tree of life! You could probably level nothing but instances 70-80, then do all the quests for mad skrillz.

Deschain

[velojym]

Well, heck. Beefy needs practice at tanking... and hasn't done but two instances... and didn't finish WC in the two times he's been there (PUGs).
I'll be on this afternoon if anyone wants to go through anything with a 36 Tauren Warrior.

[JibbaJabba]

Dude, Wailing Caverns is too fucking easy as long as you're above, what, level 23? 25?



So we've decided we want Bentmywookie in green leafy format, then?
