I do this fairly frequently…not to grief people, to HELP people! Ok, not the ones actually killing the rare right that moment, doesn’t help them, but it does help the people frantically rushing over to get to the mob in time to tag it and share in the loot, I figure it’s faction tag, why not let as many as want to get their 15 valor, stone/key/chance at the pet off haywire/lock green fire book? Often people are being nice and announce the rare then wait to pull it while people have a chance to get there, but when I see 2 or 3 just pull it without saying a word and pop cd’s to kill it faster, my reaction is the same as yours when you see people hit it once and stand back. Dicks. So I call it out in general then tap it to increase health, maybe let a few more people get their loots ;-)

My priorities are the same as every patch…new achievements!? I must get them all! I’m 109th US for nerd points, it’s an addiction. Next pets and mounts, then I relax from all the grinding, frantic attempts to kill stuff in certain ways and searching for stuff by peacefully and tranquilly slaughtering everything in sight in a few bg’s.

Has been actually fun doing the new dailies… been doing them on the hunter because I started it with her on the Isle of Giants farming for the book to get the triceratops pet… Took over 300 kills, with the help of a guildie. Two days later, another guildie hunter, whole guild (all 7 of us. :P) go out to help farm for the book; drops on the first kill. Was out farming dino bones for the mount, got asked by someone else if I wanted to join so we could take the bigger ones, ended up in a group of 5, and alternated between killing the dinomancers for the other hunter to get his book, and dinos for the bones. The little tricos I can get myself, the big ones two shot my tank pet, and the little t-rexes one shot her. Haven’t dared to try the big ones…

Did get Oondasta, the same day we were farming for the other hunter. Four full raids from at least six servers, plus various hangers-on like my 7 person group. I got killed like 15 times, ended up with a 2 minute respawn timer repeatedly because I kept trying to fight, while my guild hung back and waited. Finally killed him after several wipes and a lot of zerg rushing (pulled him down to the beach so you could run back more quickly)… this was before the change, and everybody got loot, but for all of us, it was just gold. A couple of people got some gear, but nobody got the mount, according to general chat.

He’s got a 200k all around AOE roar, in addition to the frontal fire wave, so you really need to get healing.

The warrior is my most surprising toon. I got him to 460 yesterday morning and raided the 2 LFR raids that I could twice. Just queued as DPS ’cause I didn’t want to jump in tanking. My tank set is my 460 set and my dps set is ~443. I jumped into the first raid and started putting out about 35k DPS. Once i got in the groove, it was 40k-45k max at iLVL 443. Are these numbers getting ridiculous? I got 2 pieces of gear from my first run and was holding 45k steady in the second one. It’s crazy. I’d hate to see what arms can do when I get his iLVL up to 485-490 like my druid. LOL

“Doggerel” is an excellent word – I will endeavor to use it in a work meeting today.

There are indeed MANY things to do. A short while back, I determined that I had the strength of will to work on about 1.5 characters a week. My main *has* been my affliction warlock, and she OWNS, but… At the end of the day, I want to pug into raids where I can, and that means healing.

So the Scepter of Main-osity has been passed to my disc priest, who also can spriest. In 5.2, they redid the talent “Solace and Insanity,” which makes an element of shadow feel more affliction-y, which helps. My priest’s ilvl now is 484, which is still a way’s under my lock at 492, but it shouldn’t be too long, and a disc/spriest looking for an MSV or HoF has a better shot at pugging into a raid at 484 than a ranged DPS at 492, right?

The two bothersome things are legendary quest progress and green fire. Last week, I ended the previous tier of LFR raids with 10 Sigils of Wisdom… and NINE flippin’ Sigils of Power. There were 4 opportunities for the bugger to drop, too. Grr. This week, the very first thing I’ll do is try to get one from a MSV run and then to Terrace for the Sha claw and getting “A Test of Valor” going. Then the priest will only be six weeks behind the lock. >.<

Re: green fire – I would LOVE to do this chain. I'm just not sure I have the strength to do those dailies twice on any day. The fact that the gear from the Kirin Tor Offensive isn't really needed for progression purposes takes a lot of the urgency out of getting those done, and normally, once my priest is VP capped, I would probably just switch over, but I find I'm just as happy to instead switch to doing the PVP quests instead on my priest. :) 577 honor points (with the guild bonus) are to be had! Between that, and farming the three horde rares in Krasarang (which each drop a 250 honor token) and converting JP to HP at 3:2, I can gear up for pvp in last season's tier without much difficulty. So, there's that.

Green fire someday for me. Sorry for the long post!

I accidentally queued as healer on my prIest yesterday. Thankfully, i only messed up on the Rattlegore fight. Smite heals FTW :)

I’m making sure my druid healer is geared up enough to help out a friend’s once a week group if they need a sub. We did MV reg and were working on Elegon–that wretch–friday. Besides that, dallies and scenerios with friends and 5 man friendly group runs with our level 80-85s.

Lots and lots and lots and lots of pet battles! Did the Fable Animal chain, and working on the Pandarian Elementals. . . . I also want to get some friendlies together and go into the old raids for the pets there soon–naxx, AQ, BWL. I have some of the pets but my friends are getting hooked and everyone wants them now.

And yeah, way too much things. So I’m only trying to do stuff that is fun for me.

Hope everyone else is having a blast. :)
