Tips for the first day of Cata…

Hey guys. I don’t want to spoil anything BIG about Cataclysm. But I need to get some tips out.

First off. On Monday. log out in Stormwind TRADE district or the Orgrimmar zeplin towers. The reason behind this is the first day your going to want to buy flying first. It is right in trade district/ By the towers.  So it’s a quick trip there. After doing that you need to go to the Stormwind/Orgrimmar message board. It will give you an option for two quests. One is “Call to arms. Vash’jir.” And the other is “Call to arms Hyjal.” Depending on which zone you want to go to. Your going to need to pick up said quest. I personally would get both. They involve you going to different area’s to get to the zone. Example. For Hyjal on Ally. You need to fly over to Stormwind keep. There is a Night elf in the room to the king’s right. Talk to her and she will port you to Moonglade. For Vash’jir. Your going to need to talk to a human at the harbor in SW. He is usually hard to find and it’s difficult to find where to go after. After talking to him go toward the Northrend boat. Phasing is going to happen. Then your on your way when you step on the boat.

For horde. The Moonglade portal is in the Tauren district of Orgrimmar. Same dif. Pick up your quest from the message board. BUT. The Vash’jir quest in a bit different. There is no dock IN the city. You need to exit the city toward the small dock. It has a parked goblin ship there. It’s almost identical to the alliance version. So yeah.

Ok. So that is all the tip’s I am going to give for now. Have fun leveling in Cataclysm. And I’ll see you all in the zones =)

Random question time.

Hey guys. Short blog post for now because I have classes in a few. So here is the question of the day.

If you could be a friend with any raid/instance boss. Who would you choose?

My choice would be Illidan. I just think he would be really an awesome guy to hang around…. Well that is when he isn’t being emo with his pet skull. So yeah. Feel free to leave a comment on who your choice would be. I will probably make a shattering post later. But no promises alright?

Somtimes I wonder….

Alright. This is more a rant post. Because somthing REALLY annoyed me a moment ago. I was on the beta. Getting a few last minute tests off as I did a Heroic Deadmines run. Now I had copied a 85 Premade holy Pally with an Amazing shield with an amazing game reference to one of my favorite series. But I only got up to the 2nd boss in said group. Want to know why? I know you all do so I am going to say it in 3….2….1….. Nao. Ok then. So this Worgen warrior. Let’s call him Sir. Fluffsalot. Calls me out for a few people dieing in the group from a debuff called “Motivate.” It ticks for ALOT and it’s a channeled debuff. So the group should be interupting it. It ticks for 20k a second. Anyhow. After a rough pull of the tank pulling 4 of the mobs that do that (You can pull them 1 at a time) He calls me out by saying “hey dude use ur holy shock n holy power heal when you heal” (Those exact words) So I reply “Dude. I have been. You just pulled four mobs that are ticking for 20k a second. Thats 80k damage every second. I can’t keep up with that.” And he replys “use flash heal and ur strong heal too.” And I reply “I was doing that. Can you please not try to call me out for somthing I couldn’t prevent.” And the last comment of his was “I can call u out when people die.” So know what I do? The moment he pulls four more. I ditch. I do not like when people tell me how to play my class when they clearly were the ones to blame.

But yeah. That was my rant of the day. I know it probably made you all go “ZOMG ARG COOL STORY BRO” But yeah. It just really annoyed me… So for the topic title. I will continue with it. “Somtimes I wonder how…. People who act like total…. Ugh’s get into beta? I mean. Replace him with some of my guildies. It would be a far bigger improve. Alright Blizz? That is if your reading this =P

It has happened…..

Today is a horrible day….. Patch day…. Not just that. It’s the day all my Pally info is lame……. BUT Let’s go over the bright side! New talent tree’s. For Pallys. We get our new powerhouse move. Templars verdict. From playing on the Beta. Listen to these few words. NEVER use it when you have less than 3 Holy power. Trust me. Your dps will be hit hard if you do that.

For the Holy tree. We get a AoE heal. Light of the Dawn. Honestly. I only used this spell at rare times. It hits in a cone effect. So they are implying if we are going to be healing we will be right up in the bosses face. That way we can hit Melee and the tank with it. (Note. We don’t get Holy Radiance yet. Thats our 83 spell. So be patient on that one.))

Now then. Back to the annoyed Dwarf. Our Rotations? Gone. We need to sort out all of our addons involving it. We can’t use Divine storm anymore. It’s worthless. I will admit. On AoE pulls it may be useful. But unless they change our T10 set. We are nerfed bigtime in that case. So we are going to need to work around that. I’m checking EJ right now on the best rotation possible. Which honestly. I am having no luck finding. If anybody wants to check it out also to help me out. It would be greatly appreciated. Then I will make a update post.

Cataclysm get’s more difficult?!

The title probably shocks and amazes people. But it is true. Remember that thing called “Repentance” Well it turns out it’s more than a Pvp stun! Who knew! It can actually make mobs sit still for 1 minute while you kill other mobs! Why didn’t we do this in Wrath? Well now in Cata. There is a thing called. “Crowd control” I know. I don’t understand it. But supposedly Repentance will now be used to keep mobs still while you kill others more. Same goes for those things that Rogues use on us in Arena. Called “Sap” Supposedly it works on NPC’s too! Also things like. Root’s from a Druid. Hibernate. Banish, Bind elemental, FEAR (Yes you heard me. New Glyph All locks need it.) And even more. Which shocks me. Blizz want’s us to work to get Justice points? I am impressed! But seriously. Cataclysm did step up the difficultly quite a bit. I’ve done Heroic Deadmines maybe 3 times total. 1 group got the “Secret boss” The other two killed the captain only. But that’s not ALL the Deadmines groups I have been in. You know how many I have been in that gave up on the first pull? 10. And we did attempt that pull multiple times. So yeah. Cataclysm may be a huge step up. So just a warning. Get practicing that Repentance button. Your going to need it.

Also. Sorry about my absence from making Blog posts. I have recently been busy with classes. I’ll try to post more often. But Classes +Family = A bigger priority…. So yeah. I’ll try to make a cata post soon. With some screenshots hopefully. So keep your cool while I do that =P

The stonecore PT 1

Hey guys. So I wanted to make a post on the new 82-85 instance in Cataclysm stonecore. This place is by far one of the most challenging plances I have had to heal….. Could be because the hunter stood under falling rocks all the time and in void zones. But yeah.

So first you enter the instance thinking “Oh hey cool. There are rocks and stuff everywhere.” Then you notice that in front of you there is a pack of Twilight hammer guys and one lowly gnome who we have seen in a certain tempest keep instance. Anyhow. CC Is highly reccomended. Unless your heals and tank are insane. I say CC is a must. You go threw maybe…. 4-5 pulls like this. Then you end up seeing a giant stoneworm named. Corborus. This is the first boss of the instance. And I have to say. He is by far the hardest.

Corborus does a few things. 1 being a stacking magic debuff he puts on everyone in the raid. This debuff absorbs ## healing. (It depends) How i handled this was I dispelled it or ran into the group and poped healing hands (Wewt AoE heal) 2nd he will target a random person and start shooting spikes at them. Easy solution. Move out of them like Rotfaces puke. Thats pretty much all phase 1 brings. Phase 2 brings his “Burrow phase”

His burrow phase is actually the part that got us quite a bit. People would not learn to move. First in the phase there are a ton of stonecrab things spawning and attacking. Although they have low health. They hit for quite a bit. 2nd is he will somtimes make dust come up from the ground in a large radius. MOVE AWAY. He is going to jump out and hit for about 20-30k on anyone who got hit and punt you across the room. As a pally I found this boss hard to heal. Especially with the Holy light spamming I need to do. But this fight was incredibly fun.

After downing him. You see a cave to the left of where he was standing. This is the path you need to go to get to Slabhide. A earthen dragon. Slaghide is surprisingly easy to heal. We one shot him with no problems in the slightest. First off. Normal dragon rules. Get away from his tail and his face. Or you will get cleaved or tail swiped. 2nd other than a breath. He puts a lava pool under where the tank is. Just shift him slightly to avoid this. That is all for phase 1. Phase 2 is where he flys into the air and knocks spikes from the ceiling down to the ground. Watch for the shadow and get out of that place. This is only difficult for the healer. Each of these stones are a LoS barrier. So just reposition to heal and repeat.

After downing him you will notice in the distance you see a non eilite Orc female. KILL IT FAST. These are scouts. If they take the time to call it out. They will pull all nearby enemys. We had our DK death grip them as our druid killed them. But a hunter would do nicely too.

After getting threw a room full of scouts and Twilight hammer people. You will see Ozruk. He is a tank and spank. Simple as that. Tank him against a wall. Casters/heals go against the oposite wall. And watch his buffs. He casts one spell that reflects 90% of all Magic spells. So it would be best to wait that out. Then he also does a different spell (I honestly didnt pay much attention to this. But it 1 shot our druid. So maybe I should.) Other than that. Burn him down. Free badge/lootz/puppyz (Ok no puppyz but still)

Now after this boss you come to see High priestess Azil. This boss actually brings the difficulty back. She will have a few spells she uses. This boss did glitch in our favor though. Being there was a hole in the ground in the path her adds come from. What happens in the fight is she will cast Force choke on the tank (Ok thats not the name but still) It will do quite a bit of damage as he slams the tank into the ground. It honestly looked painful. 2nd she will cast void zones. These void zones are more like Halion Shadow realm. If your near them. You get pulled in. The thing about these void zones though is they damage ANY unit except for Azil. Which comes to the next part. Periodicly in the fight followers will run into the room and most likely aggro on the healer. The trick I did. Was I stood behind a void zone. So the adds would run threw and die. But this is just phase 1. Phase 2 is a bit eaisier

In phase 2 Azil will fly in the air and put a shield on herself. Which will reduce damage she takes by 95%. Which means ignore her. The focus of this phase is the ton of adds that will rush toward the group. Use any remaining void zones to kill a few. But if they despawn let the tank pick them up and AoE them down. Azil won’t just let you sit around and kill her followers though. She will make three giant boulders fly around her. And during the phase launch them at a player. There will be a mark where it will land. So just move.

The main difficulty in this place is the damage. The trash actually hits for a lot. The bosses hit for even more. If you can keep up with the damage you win….. But that is stonecore. Hopefully my long post didn’t make everyone angry. If it did. Too bad =)

Another post of random randomness

Mk. Decided to make this kinda a thing I do more often. So here I go. It is random because I honestly don’t have anything new to share. The beta has been in kinda…. A frozen state. Beta Arg is max level. And I have been attempting to level up a Worgen. (Which model is glitched and mixed with my Dwarfs…. So yeah) Anyhow. The random post is about…. Randomly asking if people want me to randomly find things on the random beta (See. It can be random if I put Random every second random word.))

So long story short. I was bored. And wanted to post this…. But if anyone of the 3 people reading this want to see any changes in the Beta. I can attempt to make it so.

So yeah. I’m out because its 2 AM while I am writing this. Later

In before the rest of my guild….

So I wanted to be the first one to say this (Yeah cause I want to win teh race and stuff) My guild has Officially……..Killed the Lich king! The fight is by far one of the most epic in the game. The Valkyr’s picking people up is a very nice touch. And the frostmourne room (Though I didnt get ported once =( ) Has a epic feeling to it. So yeah. Here is a pic

LK DOWN

(Yeah thats right. I found a way to show pics without crowding my blog. I win)

Cataclysm group frames.

Ok. So a person in my guild wanted me to post a screenshot of the new UI for the group….. Thing. So yeah. Here it is. My pointer should be close to it if its hard to see though.

Cataclysm Beta pics. (SPOILERS DONT LOOK IF YOU DONT WANT TO SEE THEM)

Hey all. Just wanted to post a few Cataclysm screenshots. Because a certain Dwarf got into the beta….. I will give 3 guesses on who. First 2 dont count. Anyhow. First off….. Lets see if i can work screenshots. If i cant. I will fix it.

And now for somthing. Compleatly random…….. Wolf on a Horse wearing a tophat with a cane.

And now for one from the goblin starter. Kinda a epic pic.

1 more screenshot for now. And its of the new Vashj’ir mount. It just got changed. So i feel like i should show this.
