Merry Christmas All!

I hope each of you have a safe and wonderful Christmas.

Being that I'm a cowboy at heart and from Texas. I'll leave you with one of my favorite depictions of Santa.
Merry Christmas to everyone!

Well I lost something

It was my experience bar. I dinged 80 last night.


On the to do list.

Start farming leather and ore to finish getting the coin I need for 5k gold riding skill.

Get my eagle and gorilla to 80.

Find a pet for PVP that I like and get it to 80.

Decide on a instance pet and get it to 80.

Rework my spec.

Get cooking and fishing maxed out.

Finish running all the quest and hopefully PUG through the dungeons.

That should keep me busy for some time.

At 79 now.

I'm actually at 79 right now, but haven't had much time to play the past couple of days. I've got to get through this on call week and then I'm on vacation for the next two weeks. Yes I plan on playing some WoW, but not every minute. No I'm hoping to do a little horseback riding with my brother, maybe even do some actual hunting. Both my brothers were able to get deers this year, and one got two. I'm very much behind.

Well that is all for now.

Boozsha out!

Tuskarrmagedon!!!

Exalted with the Tuskar. Woot! I was able to get me a Pengu.


I've never been much of a companion collector, due to the fact that they use to take up a bag spot. Now that they don't I've started collecting them. I really far behind on this toon, but will have plenty of time to round them up shortly.

As of now I'm 3/4 of the way through 78.

I also finished most of the quest in Grizzly Hills save the dungeons and got the following achievement. I wonder if the dev writers that named this achievement reads a lot of BRK.

Ding 78!

Dinged 78 last night! Woot!

Feels awesome, also I'm very close to being exalted with the Tuskar faction.

When I went to go pickup my new upgrades for my spells last night I realized I had TWO ranks of Explosive Shot available to me. /bonks forehead
That's one way to get around not being able to down rank your abilities....just don't train them!

No plans on making 80 this weekend, if it happens it happens.

Here is a little something that I have captured while playing in Grizzly Hills. It seems that potty humor has no boundaries, and will always find it's way into any and everything.

Back to Survival

I think I respecced back to full BM last Thursday. I played most of Friday and Saturday morning and quickly realized I was actually having more fun with my Survival build. It was probably when I read Mirshalk's post on Saturday that made me realize that I am more of a Survival hunter. I also re-read the Basic Training post to make sure I was up on my technique. As of now I'm going with this spec. I like having those points in the BM tree to help out my pet tankage ability. Once I hit 80 and see where my focus is going to be I'll see where those points could better be placed.

Well most already know that there is an incoming nerf that is going through the forums and blogosphere. I've read some on the different blogs and as of now I really don't have an opinion. To be honest it really doesn't surprise me, especially with the volley. I noticed that I was mainly using volley when I was specced as BM and running with my gorilla. I'll be waiting to see what everyone has to say about it over the next couple of days. If I was a raider and was having to compete for a raid spot, I'm sure I would have more concerns with this. But for me as a casual gamer, that will most likely not raid ever, it just means I will kill things a little slower.

I do have a gripe though. I'm really dissatisfied with the cunning pets. Aesthetically speaking the birds of prey are my most favorite of all pets. Having an eagle is so freaking cool, but there special ability sucks for pve. Really and truly I'm not sure how great it will be for pvp. I would think there would be other more desirable pets for pvp like the Wasp with sting. Plus your getting more damage. Cunning tree really got all of the ugly and boring pets. I really hope they will add some more pets to the cunning tree in the future. Why does this bother me, just pick one of those sexah pets from another tree. Roar of Recovery is my reason for liking this tree so much. I can pop this ability and go to viper and be topped off with full mana before I can kill one mob. There are good things about the other trees, but to me this one ability rocks them all.

That is all for now.

Boozsha out!

Back to BM

Yeah so, if you saw my last post I had tried out Survival. I tried out MM for a while as well, but have gone back to BM for the duration to 80. With Survival and MM I was definitely having aggro problems with the pet. I'm sure it didn't help with me going balls to the wall on the shots, but hey I was messing around with the specs. As of now BM is what feels good to me. Plus Kill Command and Bestial Wrath rocks on the gorilla thunder stomp.

Still at 76, but I'm hoping that I will push to 77 sometime on Saturday morning. I'm looking forward to picking up the cold weather flying and seeing what kind of mount I'll be able to find.

I still haven't done any instances. I'm kind of hesitant as I haven't really grouped in an instance at upper levels. All of my gear is quest reward stuff, but at some point I'll going to have to do so, if I plan on progressing my character.

Now that I've dinged 76, I'd like to tame some cats at my level. There are two that I'd like to try out and see how I like the skins. One is Pitch, which I really know nothing about him yet except he is in Sholazar Basin. The other cat of interest to me is the Dreadsaber which is also in Sholazar Basin. I like my Frostsaber Pride Watcher, but he quickly fell behind in levels. I'd like to see what the damage is like with a cat at my level.

Have you seen Who's the Tank? I'm a big fan of Who's on First by Abbot and Castello. I found this yesterday on WoW insider. This is a real good one, and to me it is up there with Jimmy: The World of Warcraft Story. Enjoy if you haven't already seen it.

Boozsha out!

Ding 75!

Good stuff, as the title stats I dinged 75 now. I also became exalted with my first faction. That was funny I became exalted with the Valiance Expedition before Ironforge. Don't tell my dwarf brethren.
I've changed my spec for a little while, I'm not sure for how long though. I think BM has spoiled me with having a more stoic pet. As of right now I'm running with this survival spec. Explosive shot is cool, but I don't know if it is worth loosing my 4 extra points for my gorilla. Plus the gorilla is not holding aggro near as well as he us to. It must be from the crits. Below is a movie I through together when I saw how cool explosive shot looked on an Arcane Serpent in Transitus Shield, Coldarra. Just a note, I'm not wearing anything except for quest only items, so my damage will be laughable compared to most of you. Also I noticed after I had finished making the movie that I had called it an Arcane Worm. Same difference.
