T’was the best of loots, t’was the worst of loots
Posted by: bigbearbutt in Uncategorized
The Raid did go in,
to Kara they charged,
mad loots to gain once more.
“The Gloves!” cried short Occ,
“They soon will be mine,
or whining will be in store!”“But what if they dropped,
on Slevannas’ first run,
helping Shammy instead of ‘Lock?”
“How fun that would be,”
said Raid Leader Jopps,
“Though it’s never happened before.”The Raid charged on through
and blasted past trash,
their legs soon splattered with gore.
Five bosses brought down,
their loot passed around,
and a necklace the Druid did score.The moment now had come,
great chamber once cleared,
The Curator soon would be fought.
The Raid stepped on up,
“Astral adds, they are up!”
And DPS burned down fast and hard.On Teamspeak we were hushed,
and tensions did mount,
and we wondered what was taking so long.
As Joppers knelt there,
At Curators’ still form,
Then the great booming laughter was heard.“It’s happened!”, Jopps cried,
to Slevannas’ great joy,
“Tier 4 to the Shammy is bound!”
“On her first Kara run,
Gloves add to her fun,
such fortune was never before known!”The grats were sent out,
the loot gathered in,
the Shaman was stricken with glee.
But not all were pleased,
and most especially not
the Warlock that stopped at the knees.Mad gnashing of teeth,
and great wailing screams,
rose up from the Warlock denied.
For the rest of the night
the guild then endured,
The Warlock Occulus’ most pitiful cries.The night now is done,
my poem done too,
But I leave you this lesson worth gold.
You can run all the time,
but random drops stress the mind,
and Loot Karma’s a bitch to behold.

Wonderful poem BBB, I almost wish there was another way for loot. I have been in Kara many times with my lock and really no gear to show for it. Granted I have changes guilds a few times, but still…
I played D&D Online for a short while and the only thing I liked about that game was the “Reserved” Loot. If you went on a run, you were assured something had your name on it.

Let’s not shed too many tears for the ‘lock. We must always be mindful of the fact that warlocks who are tailors (as all but demo warlocks should be, and demo warlocks aren’t exactly strong raiders in the first place) can craft an armor set that is, stat-wise, arguably better than the tier 4 stuff (frozen shadoweave for affliction, spellfire for destruction). This is coming from an affliction ‘lock, by the way, so you know I’m not some other class QQing about how “‘locks have no room to complain because they’re already overpowered, blah blah blah.” Hehe. He should jus tsuck it up and save his real complaining for when Prince’s blade takes a million and one runs to drop. :-/
Grats to the shammy on the phat loot.
Grats to you, sir, on your blog. I find it quite enjoyable.

I would love to get me 2 pieces of the T5 to play Demo/FG again, oh that would be Nasty-McNasty.
@Logan
I think you would be surprised at how viable Demo ‘locks are for raiding. For part of SSC Demo/FG ‘lock can easy beat everyone out for top dps. Not that it’s easy to raid as Demo/FG I’m sure but I think that it would be fun?

I’ll be the first to admit that Demo is the spec that I know the least about (for my own class, the travesty!), but I usually just rely on the number-crunchers for a lot of my data. But, like anything, I’m probably wrong. I would like to play around with my spec a bit more once I have excess G to burn (epic flyer paid for, battlecast set crafted, etc) and really learn the intricacies of demonology. Most of my experiences with demo locks, even lvl 70 demo locks, have been frustrating ones. I think that may be a function of people seeing the felguard and being like “wow, I get to cast and I get a badass tank to back me up? Sign me up!” They focus too much on their pets and not enough on their own damage output/gearing/spell rotation/etc. It’s pretty much the same reason there are so many crappy hunters out there. But, like hunters, I know there are extremely skilled demo locks out there that know all of the ins and outs of their class. I have just not seen many :).
I’m blogging my self, at this point. I guess I’ll wrap it up with a quote from my wife (also an affliction ‘lock) that still makes me chuckle: “If I wanted my pet to fight for me, I’d be a hunter.”

@Logan : I play a 70 Demo Lock. I have been demo since the start as it is just the way I like the class. I have tried other builds but I just keep coming back.
I raided MC / ZG / BWL / AQ pre-BC with my demo lock and was just fine. I do not do much raiding any more, just Kara so far and a few attempts at Gruul.
I agree that most people are lazy, but that is not because I have a Felguard. For me I just like the way it looks and feels. I can bring the pain (dps) as well as any other lock and have been on the top of the dps when that was my job. More often than not I am busy with something else. DoT Rotaions, throwing my Felguard in the way to buy someone some time…
I am not saying Demo is the most dps, but for me it is the most fun

Oh noooo!!!!
This ain’t meant to be a warlock bahahing poem! ack!
It was just funny as hell at the time, in a cute way.
Occulus had been running Kara on group 1 for months and never got the Tier 4 glove drop, the poor bastard. And here on the shamans’ first run, POOF!
It wouldn’t have been so bad if Jopps hadn’t called it before we ever started the run… “Wouldn’t it be funny???”
Occulus is a real nice guy. Let’s not read anything into this other than having some fun, and maybe rubbing some salt into wounds, okay guys?
