WoW BHA Monday Night Crew - Ruby Sanctum Tonight 12/6! Farewell to WotLK

Well, next Monday isn't out for sure. The follow up raid that Grenn and I are listed for is just a tentative plan at this point, subject how those involved feel at the end of the first night of the run on Sunday.

I will not be on next Monday for sure. We are having a bowling banquet that night. The gay's like to party... so we will probably make it an all nighter with dancing afterwards.... I will have a BLAST working on Tuesday

I can do wed. with you lewis...

Whatever I get behind I can catch up before the next time...so I am not worried about that.

Ah, fair enough. Well, I too will log on on Wednesday if possible, and if not, well, May 3 it is.

For the record- I'll be keeping the OP as up to date as possible. When I know people will not be available it'll be posted there, as it is currently.
Also I'll post the range of dungeons (with links) we'll be running for the week, so people can have a look at what drops and mobs we can expect and possibly pick up the quests. If you see some loot you want we can run that specific instance after our obligatory random for the blue sack and bonus XP.

My wife doesn't want me to play WoW anymore, so I'm out for at least a couple of weeks while I try to change her mind. I'll switch out the warrior for my 32 warlock if I am successful.

I probably shouldn't have asked for permission, but with a newborn I wanted her input. I think she let me play the first week so that she could take it away later. Kind of like giving a kid a shiny new toy then smashing it in front of them.

Brutal.

Best of luck.

My boy is nearly 7 months old now, but I've had great luck with trading nights. On Mondays I get to put on my headphones and be left alone. In exchange, she gets one night per week to do whatever she sees fit. That one responsibility-free night per week is pure bliss. Not that I don't love to spend time with my family; just sometimes everyone needs a break.
/ unasked for 2 cents
Good luck PopEsc.

I've been on WoW hiatus almost the whole time since my daughter (almost 8 mos.) was born (although not because my wife made me). I'm just about ready to see how she'd feel about me joining back up.

Ready for your daughter to slit the throats of injured enemies, eh?

Truly, I cannot WAIT to play games with her. She should probably concentrate on crawling for now, but I am totally ready.

They're never too young.

I used to do some casual WoW questing while holding my daughters as toddlers. I don't do much combat and go scary places when they are around, but I remember doing the "cure the infected deer" quest in Darkshore with my daughter and she absolutely loved it. "Papa there's a green deer over there! Let's go save it!" And I can't tell you how many level 3 chars I have spread over a handful of servers... My daughters love to make new characters, and pick the hair, earrings, etc. Mostly they like to pick the color dress, which means I have a crapload of warlocks and mages spread all over

So do you guys have just the one group, or 2? Have room for another? My mains are on a different sever where I play ultra-casually with a couple guys from work, but I would be interested in something a little more regular, meaning a set group that is going to do content together once a week or so.

We only currently have one group, and as far as I know, it is not full. This past week it was just 3 of us.

Come roll with us You have lot of catching up to do thought We are already level 24.

So get to it!!!

How do you feel about another pally? I don't want to step on anyone's toes. I have a level 21 pally alt I could use...

I would talk to Lewis about it I do not see why it would be a problem... if you wanted to go ret?

Whatever floats your boat! Probably would be best to go Ret as Cheeto mentioned.

Random Dual Spec question:
If I buy Dual Spec, do I get to spend all my talent points again and can just swap between specs similar to changing stances?

Pretty close. You get two independent talent tree/glyph setups that you can select and reset independently. A 10 sec cast that wipes out all your mana/rage/energy while OOC allows you to switch between them. It remembers your bar configurations, but the auto-update of new skills as you're learning them only applies to your spec that's active when you learn the skills (meaning you have to reset your bars when you switch if you're using it while leveling).

Yeah, what he said If you have any more questions about it Lewis I can geto n vent and explain it to you sometime. It is a awesome set up, xp for pallies. If you can afford it, I would say go for it.

Funny, a non-WoW playing coworker just asked me what I thought of dual specs today.

Answer: Love it, especially as a Pally! I'd buy a third if they'd let me, so I could have Ret, Prot, and Ret-PvP all set up.

Did they lower the level requirement? Used to be 40.

Nope, still 40.

Personally I would do holy/ret/tank, but I don't really do pvp, shrug.

I decided to do a clothie, since you don't seem to have one. Jhadis, level 11 human mage. Will be on travel working night shift next week, so I should be up in the mid 20's by the following Monday.

Sounds perfect

So, any word on this week? You guys shooting for tonight? Is Lewis still without internet from his move? Does the chicken come before the egg? Stay tuned next week to find out...

Check the OP. We're on for Wed @ 7:00 server. Comcast showed up before I had my PC set up on Saturday morning! ZeroKFE got a little carried away and hit 30. I'm still at 24. I'll see if I cant hit 26 on Tuesday evening though.

Yeah, about that... I mean, I'm only the healer, right? So it doesn't matter all that much if I'm over-leveled, right?

Truth is, I was bored this week and didn't feel like buying a new game, and I was having so much fun running LFD 5 mans as a healer that I did sort of get carried away. But hey, now I have air totems, so that's cool right?

oh wow, well hehe I may be left in the dust.

I guess I will see what I can do

Are you guys kidding me? I'm still level 9. My friends from out of town came in and we did stuff. Life really doesn't want me shooting thigs in the face with you guys.

You've invested a whopping, what, 3 hours into your toon over the last 3 weeks. Are you kidding us?

hehe Well the bowling banquet ended early for Jake and I last night due to some unforseen stomach cramping. I came home and logged on. I hit 26 just BARELY... so I will be ready for wed.
