Arena Leanings

I'm really leaning towards Deep Arcane for season one, although I might change up depending on who my teammates end up being. I haven't really been approached by anyone expressing interest yet, but I'm hoping some of my old GameOver crew will be down to run at least 5s or 3s and carry me. ^^

I don't really care what matrix I run in 5s -- I think it's impossible to know what will be good.

In threes, I have interest in:

- rmp
- pmdk
- wmp
- mmp
- pmh
- pmret

I'd probably just about anything, but priest/mage synergy looks good as the two still have complementary CC.

In twos, I think mage/anything looks alright. ^^

As for exact specs, I'm really unsure right now. 53/18/0? 51/20/0? 51/17/3? 54/0/18? Hard to say right now -- it depends on how big a problem melee is for Arcane. I sort of anticipate most Arcane mages probably leaning towards the frost side of things as the spec might be too overkill anticaster with fire as a complement. Impact and Imp scorch are really the big draws from Fire compared to Shatter and Frostbite -- it's hard to say without dueling and arenaing to get a feel for it. With TotW not affecting Pyro damage, Pyro is much less of a draw. (Although will still hit plenty hard)

And professions? No idea really. Engineering seems decent with rocket boots plus haste on use on the gloves, but tbh, it isn't that much haste at 80 for a long CD, and I'm not really that sold on haste for an Arcane spec where you really just want massive +dmg to take advantage of the TotW and AP multipliers. (Granted you can cast more spells during the window potentially) Rocket boots are always good, especially in conjunction with EA. (EA and boots out of a slow and outrange reapplications maybe? Or just get big distance on a melee) WTB NEW INVULN BELT.

Secondary profession is even more difficult to call. Inscription, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, and Jewelcrafting all seem pretty interchangable to me. A few spell damage difference doesn't matter much. What about Alchemy? A 2k health pot doesn't seem awful. Herbalism would be great if Fireleaf was arena usable. (Burst damage and the 2k HoT?) I'm leaning towards Enchanting only because I'm already 330 or so on my gnome, but I'm not really convinced it is quite as good as the other options. 

As I've mentioned before, I do plan on PvEing this xpack, but everything is all contingent on finding a fun/suitable PvP crew on BDF again. With what looks like 4 multiple gladiator season mages in the guild, I'm not really sure how we'll all manage to form up teams without battling hardcore over the few active PvP healers, and it's quite likely that I'll be inevitably forced to play a class more complementary to what my friends are playing. (Priest again probably) So no promises of vids yet till I know where exactly I'll stand at season start. ^^

For those totally out of the looooopdeeloop, check out Spit part two. It's sex.

N.E.R.D

So I logged into WoW, and what did I see?

Bitches ridin' dicks like they supposed to be

So, I spent the vast majority of this weekend leveling. And it was fucking awesome. Wait, no, it sucked and it was boring. With Chicago colder than um, something really really cold, it's the perfect time to unwind and Blizzard AoE grind undead for hours on end. I'll be gone for most of the next week to celebrate Native Americans giving us syphilis in exchange for small pox, but hopefully I'll hit 80 with some time to spare before Arena starts up -- at which point, I'll have no gear and no honor, but I'm too thug to wear gear or use a PvP trinket. (Radikalus is sans trinket)

I finally got around to watching those old Korean Named series matches that took place under 3.0. Pretty fun - since I never really played 3.0, I don't have a ton to say. 

This is a bit off topic, but while surfing the interwebs, I've seen some people use the word "nerd" incorrectly. I don't know what this fucking lower case "nerd" means. I understand NERD. But "nerd"? WTF.

[Guild][Radikal] I LIKE PRETTY DICKS AND I CANNOT LIE

[Guild][Radikal] Um, so like, Campbell's soup CDS is cheaper than that of the US

[Guild][Homie] wtf does that mean NERD

[Guild][Radikal] It MEANS that the US gov't is more likely to default on its debt than a soup company. DONT NEED GOVT IF U GOT A BOWL OF SOUP

[Guild][SomeBrownman] or a bowl of dix

Honestly, I don't really like seeing NERD not surrounded by other capital letters. It stands out more, but so do minorities or fat kids, what's your point?

I'm dead serious about that Campbell's thing. 

I promised I'd post more this weekend, but well, promises are made like fingers, to be broken.

Oh, and I actually had someone come in game to whisper me that I'm an "immature asshole", which I failed to screenshot due to a brief spurt of downs, but it was pretty special and if you take anything you read on this blog personally or seriously, I recommend that you chilllll and realize that I don't mean half the things I say, I JUST LIKE TO SAY MEAN THINGS. YOUR UGLY AND NOBODY WILL EVER LOVE YOU.
