HoTs and DoTs: A Restoration Druid and Shadow Priest

I Think I Love the Dungeon Finder

I have a new reason to requeue the daily heroic using the Dungeon Finder now (but that’s the topic for another post). And two of my friends have just returned to the game and are now playing brand new level 80 characters: a Mage and a Hunter. Queuing up together seems like a good idea. But this doesn’t even feel like the same Dungeon Finder that I remember. Is it settling down? Is this what it’s going to be like forever after?

Revisiting Blackrock Depths: Prison

When the Dungeon Finder was released Blackrock Depths was one of those ridiculously long dungeons that became split up into more manageable pieces. Unfortunately, someone decided that the best way to chunk down an instance that spans 12 character levels (48 – 60) and includes 20 bosses was to split the zone into two parts: Prison, covering 1 boss, and Upper City, presumably covering the other 19 bosses. Makes no sense to me either. But we’ll work with what we’re given.

Dealing with Jerks & Dungeon Finder

I was reading Tamarind’s post about the absolute assholes that you come across in PuGs and the change to the Dungeon Deserter debuff – soon to be a 30 minute penalty instead of 15 minutes. While I totally agreed with Tamarind’s zero-tolerance stance in dealing with these dickheads, I actually disagreed with his conclusion – that the victims in nasty parties will be punished more than the abuser.

My Gear is Too Good to Queue as a Healer

Sometime during the last month I stopped queuing as a Healer or Damage for the Random Heroic. Now I just choose Damage.

Revisiting Maraudon: Pristine Waters

This guide will take you on a loop that kills all four bosses but you’re going to get your satchel midway. To kill Princess T (the “final” boss) last would require a heck of a lot of extra clearing and backtracking. This run is much shorter, but you may need to convince your party to stick around for the second half.

Leveling in Pairs

It may come as a surprise but Caesandra (my Mage) and Pixii (Lathere’s Warlock) are the first two characters we’ve tried to level together. Caesandra is level 46. Pixii is level 42. This leveling duo is falling apart.

Improving the Quality of Conversation

Little did I know that would turn out to be the norm, not the exception. I hate that people are too afraid or too lazy to speak up and chat during instance runs these days. I hate that people only talk when something has gone wrong, someone has died, or someone is doing something seriously wrong. I could sit hear and complain that nobody talks during my dungeon runs and do nothing to change things. Fortunately, I’m not that kind of girl.

Absolute Power

In this modern day of Dungeon Finder, Dungeon Finder, Dungeon Finder etc etc I can tell you who has all the power – tanks!

It’s Epic on the Inside

Pixii is the proud owner and wearer of Electromagnetic Gigaflux Reactivator. This has to be the craziest looking head piece in the game. It makes the Druid Tier 10 briarthorn headpiece look boring in comparison. The Electromagnetic Gigaflux Reactivator not only looks cool, it also shoots lightning out of it every 30 minutes!
