Shank you can take your rogue to ensure that the shoulders don't drop! Alternatively you can DPS on one of your tanks to ensure that the shoulders will drop...

Nah...I'm out on a boat off the coast of Ghana waiting for the go ahead to finish some subsea operations. My replacement is on land but the base doesn't wanna swap us out for some reason. The replacement is new to the project but what I'm out here for is just a matter of watching valves move and saying "Ok it moved"....nothing more....nothing less...Might be done sometime next week....doing my best to keep from raging....lol...sad thing though is I don't get back the time off I miss....I just lose it.

Do you at at least get paid an exorbitant amount of money for 'over-time'?

I'm on overtime by the second day of each week

If it wasn't exorbitant, I sure as hell wouldn't be working in a third world country....or Louisiana

I used to have a job where I got to browse an online shop while watching to make sure buttons stayed green and that the shop loaded. Think it was about every 30 minutes, goto homepage, goto shopserver 1, goto shopserver 2, goto shopserver 3, goto shopserver 4, goto checkout.. something along those lines.
Pay was nice, environment was borderline evil, company was stupid. Eh, was also ten yrs ago.

And I remembred it was at 7!

Late work again. Hope to be home in ten but for sure 7:30. Hastily posted from phone in bathroom.

Purple monkey dishwasher.

Great run tonight folks. Shame it took until after the nerf to get the peeps together to down this stuff, but it was a great time regardless. For Sunday we'll be whoopin' up on Ragnaros. Watch some vids, and put some mustard on that ham sammie.

I should have our three new fights posted to YouTube by the end of the evening tomorrow. Natch, they'll be linked here and in the WoW Video thread.

He will be there for the shoulders not dropping.

Ok, who's paying to make me a pretty dwarf lady? Let's pony up some cash, here.

Only difference between the male and female dwarf is the female shaves her beard XD

Sel and Blue!!!!

We're getting buffed in 4.3!!!!!

After checking in on thousands of raid attempts, we were concerned that Resto shaman were not competitive with the other healers, especially on 10 player-content and on fights where the raid needs to stay spread out. It’s okay for healers to have niches where they really shine, but we felt like Resto wasn’t experiencing enough of these. We buffed Riptide outright and gave Ancestral Healing a new mechanic of boosting the target’s max health. These buffs are also intended to help offset some of the loss of Wind Shear for PvP.

But they're nerfing Windsheer for PVP which annoys me. Longer cooldown, I guess.

Big changes for all of our healers in there, really. Holy Pally mechanics are changing and Resto druid is getting hit with a firm nerf bat. Holy priest changes too so our restoration priests aren't only running disc all the time.

Read that article, shammies, lots of stuff in there for us. Also, elemental AoE DPS. No cooldown on chain lightning and Earthquake is getting buffed =)

He's now financially enabled. No excuse now.

And if he doesnt go through with it, everyone pressure him!

This is a very silly thing, but it shall be done. I'll miss you, Mark of the Naaru =(

Gift. More importantly, though, goodbye free 1% hit, hello some useless PvP cooldown.

And yes, it is silly.

The only 85 that I have that's still a dwarf is my hunter and it's only because it's the only race that looks like Hagrid from Harry Potter otherwise I'd have changed him too. Couldn't stand my dk as a male dwarf and wanted to cut myself every time I watched my pally run around as a female dwarf just to take my mind away from the pain my eyes beheld.

My bank alt on the otherhand is still a female dwarf....her name is Whooch....sometimes I have her run around in the Princess Leia dress with the side buns hairdo just to make Star Wars fans gag

Sounds like someone needs a black mageweave set (or a Warrior's Embrace).

Talk about missing the forest for the totems. According to the latest data-mining efforts, AP buffs like Blessing of Might for paladins will continue to buff ranged classes by 10 percent. Melee classes will get a 20 percent buff.

I for one hope Blizzard bypasses the PTR and just hotfixes it this afternoon.

Also, too: Darkmoon Faire is getting an overhaul. Now with moer achievements!

I got the black mageweave set squared away right off the bat....if only female dwarfs could do the troll or gnome dance

Bah, yes.

/sigh

Luckily, hit means little to me as Rant doesn't DPS (well).

On the plus side, sweet looking totems. So there's that.

Yes! I'd forgotten about the NICE things they were doing for shamans, considering I was also rathre annoyed at the windshear thing. Though, I guess the windshear won't affect me as elem, since the talent still reduces it to 5sec like it is now - it's just untalented that's getting longer. (Or something along these lines.. my brian isn't functioning ATM - I need my nap.)

Oh. And.. they're removing that wonderous flame shock refreshment when hit with nova for elem too.. that was one of my favorite things.

But I like chain lightnin noncooldown. spam chains! love chains. I should make an avatar with chains.

I'm pretty pleased with the resto updates.
There's no mention of enhancement being buffed at all though, despite Ghostcrawler saying he wasn't happy with how melee is performing.
The fire nova thing is kinda nice for enhance too since it eliminates having to tab target through a bunch of mobs and flameshock one every 6 seconds so you can get some AoE going. Still, that change was way cooler than our original AoE (which didn't exist).

Maybe GC figures that the attack power buff changing from 10% to 20% will be enough, especially given that you provide it yourself due to Unleashed Rage. Or at the very least they're taking a "wait and see" approach to see what the numbers after the buff look like first before they go dinking around with other things.

You do have a minor spellpower change, though. Your spells used to benefit from SP, and you got a bonus to your SP equal to 50% of your AP. Now your spells won't benefit from real SP at all, but they'll benefit as if your SP was 55% of your AP. Since you probably don't have SP from horribly many other sources, this might work out to be a minor buff in the end.

I think they nerfed druids cuz of me. They won't keep me down... damn it.

No videos tonight. Been having all kinds of problems with the encodes I ran last night. I'm going to start fresh and see if I can salvage anything out of the enormous amount of data sitting on my HD.

EDIT: Max is going to take TK's spot in our Thursday run, and Shank has the spot that was labeled as open.

@TK- Sorry-ish.

@Grinds- If you want to run, please have my spot. I have a number of things I should be doing tomorrow evening. Though I'll be there if no one can fill in.

Good luck guys, looking forward to some fresh kill vids if ELewis can make it. FRESH.
