Major *SQUEE* Post!!!!

Sooo, ya'll remember Hatestrike right? I was pretty excited when it dropped from Patchwerk last week, well awesomeness has struck again! I am now Duel-Wiedling 2, TWO, Hatestrikes!!! Pure awesomeness!!!! Now instead of putting Runes on them, I am seriously considering putting regular enchants such as hit+crit on them :D

Ohh.. and number two *Squee* post.. I finally got my Kirin Tor familiar :D Took 3 days for that last book to spawn for me.

Then... I found a Azure Whelpling on the AH and Seren and Goolah helped me with a gold loan (I owe you both) and BOOM!, Oryanna got her 50 pets achievement!!!!!!!!

And boy is Stinker adorable! If you bring out a black cat, it chases it!!! Like Pepe La Pew hehe, too cute!

Anyways, there's my updates will get into more later!

Naxx drops creepy loot!

Distortion decided to get in a quick Naxx run before the reset so we walked in and one shotted Patchwerk and died multiple times on the "Frogger" goo stream. (LOL Lag sucks trying to dodge insta-killing blobs of goo) Anyways lol, we got to Grobbulus and got him down to 13% and just couldn't keep going. So we called it.. but the good news is..

Hatestrike is MINE! Oryanna got it, luckily this Duel Wield spec is doing fantastic!

So I took Ory to WoW Model Viewer, so here she is duel welding and all..



I love that sword, it has a mouth on it that moves... very creepy lmao.

Alright, add more later!

Oryanna is what?

So.. first off, I wasn't even going to make a Death Knight, remember? And I did, and Oryanna is my main and I couldn't be happier.. And I always said I wouldn't duel wield... and now.. here I am.. duel wielding.. *sigh*

But good news it, Oryanna is pushing 2k DPS lmao!

2nd good news, I need one more book and I will have my Kirin Tor pet.

Oh and I was searching warcraftpets.com and discovered that Oryanna needs to go to Ferales and Terrokar forest for some pets.. *sigh* That will put me at 46 pets. With V-day coming up, hopefully I get Peddlefeet and that will make 47. 2 Pets from Childrens week, makes 49 lol. And theeeenn maybe I can talk my guild into ZA to help me get Mojo the frog, or I will be exalted with the Orables and start hatching eggs. (Or buying them from the AH) And then I will be at 50! And then HELLO Stinker!

Anyways, more updates later :)

For Deb and Rob



Thats Debellea, our Mage as a rogue..

and just for Rob..




Rob, the Mage hehe

New UI Sexiness, and OMG I SCREAMED IN VENT!

First off, YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY MY PANTS DROPPED!! (Ok guild inside joke) But seriously, the Staggering Legplates from utgarde keep finally dropped today! YAY!!

2nd.. embarrsing mistell in guild chat *sigh* (Could have helped me babe, but no you couldn't talk cause you were laughing so hard..) *redface*

3rd..

LOOKIE! Pretty! My new UI, it looks so fantastic! So clean and organized!


And here it is with bags open..








Gonna take some getting used to with the new fonts, new health bars, and new bag spaces, but I really like it.

Anyways.. Late night blog ftw!

HI Deb!

<@ Ory

LOOT & Lots of Screenies!

So Distortion ventured into the Plague Quarter of Naxxramas last night, and did awesome. We downed the first boss and moved on to the second, but unfortunately with the recent lag issue on The Forgotten Coast, we were unable to do the "dance" required for that boss. Basically this boss requires you to run around the room avoiding lava bursts in a series of stages. Which that part is easy, not so easy part is running with a high latency.. you see yourself with the group one second alive and next second your dead in a burst of lava.. we tried 5 times, but wiped each time, so we moved onto the Military Quarter and took down the boss that requires the tanks to take control of students, and downed him!

Ohhhh, yeah.. loot.. Oryanna got something ;)

Chestplate of the Risen Soldier *squee* Very nice :D


Deb our raid leader got a very nice robe for her mage, and Jutters our DPS God Hunter got a brand new bow. It was a fun run even with the wipe on the "dance" fight. Everyone worked as a team and it really turned out to be great for everyone.

We did try Utgarde Keep again for my shot at the pants...

Yeah..

No drop.. *sigh*


Now for the screenies! I went through my screenshot folder and noticed I had a lot of awesome screenshots of various events.

So let's start with when Oryanna was first born, here is Ory in the starting zone on her brand new mount!



*sniffles* She grew up so fast!

This screenie is from a quest in Grizzly Hills, you go up a mountain to meditate and end up fighting the inner evil you. Kinda cool!


There's actually 2 quests where you fight either against yourself or like this one in Dragonblight, you fight alongside yourself.. (anyone confused yet? lmao)



I started off with the newly born Oryanna shortly after she was created, so it's only fair I show the DING picture! Oryanna hitting 80! :D



And along with some DING shots, here is Seren's 80 shot (I had to BEG him to do that for me lmao)



After Oryanna and Seren hit 80, we started playing with big monsters... here's a few shots of those moments, 1st two is from Obsidian Sanctum, after that, is Ory's and actually any of my characters first times in Black Temple in front of the boss Supremus.







Hewwo big guy ;)

If you ever wonder what to do when your tank Disconnects in the middle of heroic dungeon.. well here ya go!



That sexy pumpkin head selected is muh baby ;)

This screenie is me being silly getting the achivement where you use Critter Bites to have all the critters follow you.



Muahahaha! I am the Queen of Cuddly Cute Minions!!!

The sexy Draenie below is my best friend Megan's hunter :)) Kurista! Her husband and I got her addicted to WoW and she is doing an awesome job :D


The following is my attempt at WoW profession icons, first is for Ory and her mining, second is something I heard Seren say one day on voice chat.



Speaking of being creative, I recently had a commision done of Oryanna.

I plan on getting it professionally printed and framed. It's absolutely gorgeous!

This next icon.. is for Deb, who shares my admiration of the fantastic, beautiful, talented singer, Amy Lee..



:D There ya go Debbeh!!! :D

Alright, may add more later, but there's my mini scrapbook! Enjoy!

Dear Loot Gods, <3 Oryanna

Dear loot Gods,

You have been rather cruel to this poor Draenei Death Knight, by not allowing the Staggering Legplates to drop from the Heroic Utgarde Keep for me.. yet you let it drop for a fellow Night Elf Death Knight. Am I not worthy? I promise to work on my jewelcrafting dailies to get the +16 Str & +27 Str gems recipes to gem it the best way for my class.

Tonight, Distortion is entering the Plague Quarter of Naxxramas, and I must beg and plead for you to take pity upon this poor Death Knight with level 78 Crafted Gear, for you to allow Chestplate of the Risen Soldier to drop from Noth the Plaguebringer, ~or~ Shoulderplates of Bloodshed from Heigan the Unclean, ~or~ Spaulders of the Lost Vanquisher ~or~ Loatheb's Shadow from Loatheb. (Or a couple of them, or heck, love me lots and drop them all and let me roll highest ;) )

I BEG of you, allow me my l33t loot to help myself and the guild that allows me along to progress.

PS: (If you want to drop some clothy stuff for Seren, that's cool too, but let's concentrate on the plate for now shall we ;) )

Gratefully yours!
<@ Oryanna ;)

Naxx - 0 Distortion - 1

Yes, I know that is an image from Utgarde Keep... but I will get to that. First of all Congratulations to Distortion for walking into the Spider Wing of Naxx and one shotting it! (Practically) I was there and it was a freakin' BLAST! Really only issue we had was the last boss, but we talked it out, decided on a strategy and boom, that big ugly spider bitch went down! (Let's all ignore the fact that I had to turn my camera angle to the ground to keep from looking at her O.o, man she's huge.. and ugly.. bleh)

Awesome Tanks, Rohall/Stallout/Merc, Fantastic Heals Lehi/Elec(not in guild)/Rozalie*lick*/Zop, and last but not least the L33T DPS teams of myself (Oryanna)/Riskk/Jutters/Debella(Raid Leader FTW!)/Sereniara(yay baby)! Everyone did a fantastic job of looking up the boss fights, discussing strategies, offering tips, and overall doing what we/they do best, TAKING THOSE BOSSES DOWN!!

I have to say, that wing was fun. Bosses I won't say were simple, because they all have their abilities that are a pain, but I wasn't stressing. Which is actually odd for me, because most raids I tend to stress on my performance. I pulled around 1.5~1.7ish DPS (I can't compete with the Mage/Warlock AOEs lol) and I am proud of that, I do wish it was better, but I was rawking +Def gear (bad me.. I'm trying to replace!)

Speaking of replace... damn UT K.. still no drop of those damn Legplates.. I seriously hate that place.. but I am going to try to keep running it. Until then, I gotta give props to my sweetheart blacksmither, Vyruz, for hooking Oryanna up with THREE peices of decent gear to get me by. *hugs*

If you remember in my last post, I talked about how Distortion was going to hit up Obsidian Sanctum, and well, we did! And, boom, that Red Dragon went down hard! And... "I" got a new helm!!!!!

~*Titan's Outlook*~


Smexie! LMAO

I also won the roll for the bag of 5 Emblems of Heroism annnnnd along with that and the massive amount of UT K runs and those badge drops, Oryanna was able to get...

~*Heroes' Scourgeborne Gauntlets*~

YAY!

Now... need those damn pants to drop from UT K and I will be happy! *Prays to Blizz loots Gods again*

Also, next goal, I am sadly going to push the spellshock rings back, mainly because I need 2 Dalaran JC Tokens to get the +16 Str gem recipe, and I need that badly, so I am going to get the dailies done and get more red gems made for my armor. I am running some odd gems to get my +Str and I really just need the pure +str ones.

More goals, more work, but I feel accomplished when I get it done.

So basically-
~*Do JC Dailies to get my JC Tokens to get the nice +Str gem Recipe.
~*Continue to hit up UT K and Gun'drak for Badges and possible Armor Drops.
~*Mine my ass off and prospect for gems
~*Farm that gold to pay back guild for awesome enchants.
~*Continue Rep Dailies for G and possible upgrades.

~~~~~~~*Beat the crap out of the Plague Wing of Naxx tonight with Distortion!!!*~~~~~~~

Maybe something will drop for me :D

Rawr! Goals and Changes

So, I have been running Ory through many many heroics.. and have been doing awesome according to my guild. "Trina's your dps is so good" "Your doing fantastic" la la... I know and I hear them... but after a post in WoW_ladies today, I now have a new goal..

**~To Break 2k DPS~**

Is it possible? Heck yeah it is.. and I found out HOW!!

Oryanna is totally gem'd attack power, I mean literally ever peice of equipment with a socket is loaded with a attack power gem.. I am now switching to +str..

~+~ She has some random Plate with +def.. it needs to go bu-bye! Time to start farming Sons of Hodir Rep, they have some awesome shoulders - Spaulders of the Giant Lords needs revered.. I am currently friendly lol, long way to go :P
-My plate chest.. *sigh* Looks like I need to run Gun'drak for the Engraved Chestplate of Eck as much luck as I have been having with the Staggering Legplates dropping from Utgarde Keep... I dunno how well that will go, but I sure will give it a try.

Speaking of which, we ran Ut K last night... no pants... just Seren's ring... again..

*sigh*


Since Sons of Hodir has no tabard for me to champion heroic grind their rep with, I am going to need to do the dailies, yay.. lol but I need the gold. I am already exalted with Knights Of Ebon Blade, so I need to decide what tabard to wear now. I am thinking... probably Wyrmrest Accord for the awesome mount, PLUS, I am doing Orables rep (Oracles) for the pets & possible mount.

After that it will be Kirin Tor so I can get the awesome +19 spell power gem recipe for Seren and other spell casters in the guild.

Alllsssooo, the guild wants to me to start working on Lalar again. So I logged her today and set her in Northrend so when I get some time I can level her a bit. Now that I understand about hit rating and attack power I can start making her better. But I won't worry about that until she hits 80 which won't be anytime soon.

I did notice however that she did have 48 pets... 48..

2 away from 50.. which means she is VERY close to having Stinker and the 50 vanity pets achievement. I may make some gold and buy some off the AH for her just for that reason. And Oryanna I believe has 43 vanity pets, I want her to have the skunk first, but not I can do without more event pets or a massive amount of gold *sigh*.

Anyways, so my new goals..

~*Get home, replace Attack Power gems with +str gems..
~*Get to work on various reps. (SoH, Orables, Kirin Tor etc) (dailies = g)
~*Continue to run Utgarde Keep & add Gun'drak to the list.
**Pray loot Gods love me and will drop the needed peices soon... *sigh*

Lots to do.. OH! And the guild is running Obsidium Sanctum tonight, Sartharion, feel our WRATH!! (I get to test my new DPS MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA) I can't wait!

Updates tomorrow!

PS: On the Higher Learning Achievement that rewards a pet... yeah I still have only one book lmao.. *sigh*

GIVE MEH LOOTZ!!!!!!!

So.. we have been running Heroic Utgarde Keep for oh, three days.. begging with the Loot Gods to drop Staggering Legplates and it has yet to drop. Although Seren got an awesome ring last night Annhylde's Ring :) (yay baby!!) Anyways, hoping to get another group together tonight and hopefully they'll drop. We've had the Epic Bow, Epic ring, and the Epic belt drop, so I imagine it's time for the pants to fall!!! *sigh*

In other news, Seren has been getting awesome drops from the tons of heroics we're doing and he is gearing up nicely :) It's so awesome to see him finally drop those lvl 70 epics. I've gotten some gear upgrades too, but nothing to write home about lol, but when I get those pants, I will be happy. :D

Ory has been doing a ton of heroics lately. Gotten a bunch of badges and new jewelcrafting recipes. But she has also been working on a silly achievement, which is frustrating me beyond belief.

"Higher Learning", where you gotta find and read all the books... *sigh* I have one and have been working on it for three days now :P

I'll get it! Kirin Tor pet you will BE MINE!!!!! (Ory has 43 pets.... 7 more til 50 and the SKUNK!!!! YAY)

Anyways lol, there's my update! More later!

45 and updates!

So, in one night, Moovinon and Innaura both hit 45... what's so big about that? 5 levels in one night!?! It was pure win, as Seren would say. We ran around Stranglethorn Vale questing and killing large mobs of well.. mobs.. until we hit 45 and decided it was time to go to bed. I am so excited!! Only downfall with RAF though, is we are blowing through levels so quickly and not killing near the mobs we would if it was regular, so we are having issues with gold. And of course we started on a new server, not one with our mains on them, so we can't send them gold that way.. *sigh* Oh well, we'll get there :)

In other news, I have updated the blog. I sadly took Teleri off, because I doubt I'll use her much except maybe later as a fun type thing, and I have added and moved Innaura up. She now has her very own tab! YAY! I plan on taking some screenies tonight instead of using a generic Blood Elf female with hearts icon. (Plus maybe get some of her and Moovinon cuddling *snicker*)

I also added some more awesome blogs to the links list! Priest and Warrior blogs alike! (Plus the loot lists!) I found an awesome blog for Priest and I have just been going nuts reading up on it, "Egotistical Priest". She has such an awesome writing skill and is knowledgeable in a field that I know nada about! I am so thankful for people like them who try to help with all their guides and info on the class.

omgah 40? Annnnd... Lalar wut?

So grats to my hordie Innaura and Seren's Moovinon, for making 40 yesterday. It's basically awesome! Sure we are leaving our Ally toons in the wings waiting, but it's not like our guild is doing anything.. or that server for that matter lol... but nonetheless YAY Hordies!


So, about the Lalar part, and this is actually kind of funny to me. I had noticed there was increased traffic from the guild "Force"'s website. Either they had linked to me or whatever. Well, no big deal maybe someone posted one of my guides and they were using it, GREAT, I am happy that I am helping folks. But.. no..

*crash of hopes like glass on the floor*

There's another Lalar in the WoWworld and they thought their guildmember was living a double life.. *sigh* Oh well..

*sweeps up hope so no one cuts themselves on it*

Anyways... playing a Priest is so much fun! Seren and I were tearing up mobs in Stranglethorn Vale, he'd aggro 5-7 mobs and I would heal him through it, we had a blast. Yeah we picked the best combo to level with and Refer a Friend is being VERRY good to us.

Anyways more later!
