And I mean that. Apart from the occasional dickhead healer that pulls aggro off the tank, or the bear tank that doesn't know how to pull aggro in the first place, or the people that join as a group and proceed to talk to eachother in their own language (which looked a lot like Hungarian but I might be wrong) throughout the dungeon while doing sub-par dps, I really love this new system!
And I realise this might sound a bit unsincere, but it's the truth. I'm really fond of the port-system and have abused it many a time so far (ooh, quick port in and out to kiss a winter reveler!) and am also well on my way to the The Patient-title and even the Perky Pug (which I love and adore so I will not stop pugging until that Pug is mine, mine, mine, I tell you!)
Tecrin really has been enjoying her dungeons so far, and got almost every rogue weapon available from the new 5-mans (including Liar's tongue and Unsharpened Ice Razor for offhand and Blood Weeper, Seven-fingered Claws and Nighttime for my mainhand) and on our first foray into the new raid instance, I even got a new chestpiece!
Kavash has also been gathering some lootz, although it's mainly for his off-tank-spec. But, to be fair, that could do with a couple of upgrades. So yeah. Patch 3.3, loving it.

Everybody hail to the pumpkin song
Time for an update :)Quite busy at work, so not much time to update this stuff :) anyway, what's been up lately.
Well for starters, Vintage conquered ToC 10 and has been wiping in ToC 10 hardmode since :) Besides that we made some progress in Ulduar aswell, and we'll hopefully be able to smash Yogg's brain very soon. Looks like Vintage will have at least normal 10 man mode cleared on everything before Icecorwn Citadel hits in patch 3.3
Personally I have taken some time off rep grinding (only 3 more factions to go)to do the hallow's eve achievements. Nearly done, although the hallowed helm still elludes me. But I'll get it :) No stupid pumpkin is going to prevent me from riding that ugly violet proto drake in februari. Just have to do a whole lot of trick or treating...

New addiction
I've got another one. A new addiction. I would never have thought I'd get addicted to this, but here I am.
WoW Podcasts.
Yes. A bunch of geeks who do nothing but talk WoW for an hour or two. Love it! There's a couple I have been listening to a lot lately and a couple that I have only listened to for a couple of shows, but here's a short list of links if you're interested.
- The Instance. One of my absolute favourite podcasts. These two guys are hilariously funny to listen to and (usually) have interesting discussions. Oh, and Quickfire Questions.
- The WoW Insider Show, the podcast from Wow.com. Funny banter. Good and useful topics. Witty discussions. Turpster. Need I say more? Go listen.
- The Rawrcast Podcast is less serious and can get a bit annoying if you don't like listening to women who snort when they laugh. (this happens so often that they turned it into a drinking game. She snorts, everybody has to drink.) It also is much fun to listen to if you do see the fun in this.
- Raid Warning. Let's put it this way. One of the items in their show is called 'Beer of the Week'. Much like Rawrcastshow, minus the snorting woman.
So. There you go. If this little list is not enough for you, go check out Azeroth United because they are gathering a list of podcasts. Have fun.

Pvp? Who, me?
I've gone through some changes since I last wrote here. Tecrin, in particular. (Mooh has been neglected a bit, sorry Mooh) Tecrin is now the proud owner of:
- a pvpspec
- a pvpset
- almost 3500 honorable kills
- an owner (/wave) who suffers from lack of sleep thanks to latenight pvp sessions with a certain Pally (and a certain fellow guildie)
Yep. Pvp. Me. I have to admit, I really hated it, I loathed always being the first to get ganked by at least 5 Alliance simply because I was a rogue. (I tried explaining to them that we're not all that bad and we're not all trying to stab them from behind when they were not looking but they didn't buy it) Wintergrasp was hell for me, and I only did it because, well, it had to be done when you want to do VoA, right? But GOD, the LAG! It was TERRIBLE! And I'd end up dead on the floor before I knew what had happened because, well, LAG!
But now...
I spent a lot of my unused Badgers of Conquest on the PVP-set sold in Dalaran. And I've dualspecced. I now have an assassination spec based on mutilate (41-5-25 if that means anything to you) and I LOVE IT! My significant pally is very happy about that as well, because he saw the pvp-light a little sooner than me. Now we're enjoying ourselves, joining battlegrounds with the two of us and working together as much as possible, kicking more and more ass as I get more used to the spec.
I'm not saying I'm switching to PVP permanently, hell no, I love my raids too much, but I'm so excited I finally found yet another thing to amuse myself with!
Oh, and on another note, we also decided that we can try and two-man the heroic Outland dungeons for the Outland Dungeon Hero achievement. So far, so good, we've done a couple, it's easier than expected once a certain pally turns on his Righteous Fury when he's tanking..

I Need to focus on updating this
Been too long since I last posted. Quick recap time:
Rep
35 exalted. Currently working on the last 5:
- Keepers of time (running black morass, 9 runs left)
- Lower city (sethek halls, 20 runs left)
- Thrallmar (shattered halls, 16 runs left)
- Shen'dralar (turning in librams, 58 left)
- Zandalar (can turn in the enchants I get from turning in librams, so this one will pretty much go automatically)
Think I'll be done by december. Hopefully
Raiding
Been busy in ulduar 10 and ToC 10. Got ulduar cleared up to mimiron. ToC saw first two bosses down last week. Going to try to make a full clear on ulduar this week.
Old contentwise, I ran AQ40 with a pug group. Cleared it within an hour. Ran Molten core with some guildies (me tanking!), which was great fun. Really looking forward on doing more old content dungeons :)
Will try to update this more often. Back to running dire maul for librams now..

How am I doing? Well..
So. Project Mooh has been put on a temporary hold now that my summer holi-days are over but I did manage to reach level 40 before I called it quits. (blame the stupid flu for that one.. I was hoping to at least be able to squeeze a few more levels out of it.) The last upgrades for me heirloom-wise were pretty good and even though I usually end up running with a purple xp-bar I still see a remarkable difference in xp-gain than before. The levelling itself is, of course, a mess.
What? It is! I don't want to ask guildies for help unless I'm absolutely stuck and want to get a quest done, but it's tempting to just get one guildie to run me through every instance we can find that's my level until I'm his level. Questing was fun the first few levels but is becoming more and more boring as well. The only plus from levelling in Dustwallow Marsh is that you get the first of many awesomely pimpin' hats there.
Anyway. Mooh will have to wait until I've got more time on my hands, unfortunately..
Especially since Vintage has been so successful in Ulduar lately. Last week (after two wipefests): Hodir. This week: (after 1 wipe, blame the tank) Ignis, and later that evening also the Iron Council. Last night we ran into a full stop at Thorim. I mean, Thorim's an allright guy, really, but it's his friends that bug the hell out of me.. Loitering in hallways, ambushing unsuspecting adventurers and trying to blow them up in the process.. No, not my kind of crowd.
Tecrin has also been on an upgrade-spree and now wears 3 pieces of T8.5 gear: the breastplate, helmet and pants. And trust me when I say that it is one ugly set of Tier-wear. that helmet! Whoa! Like I killed a ghoul, broke the lower jaw straight off, put a red light where the brain should be and pulled it over my head. I bet it even smells bad. Now I'm saving my badgers of Triumph for the Duskstalker Pauldrons, because those stats make me drool. Only 15 badgers more to go... Anyone want to do the daily heroic?
