Dangnabit, I should really post more frequently.

That being said, I had hit a MAJOR lull in WoW.  Franny got geared to tank, Tox was too affected by the BM nerf (I SHALL NEVER BE ANOTHER SPEC!), and the game just lost its sheen.

But now that 3.1 is out, BM hunters are back in the running (Hurrah for moar pet talentz!), and Tox is actually performing very well.  Seriously, better than I've seen him do in a long, long time.  Verve likes him (friends with the GM and a bunch of the officers, who'da thunk?) so they occasionally call upon him to fill in for DPS that drops out of their raids.  Only reason why he's not a regular part of them is due to scheduling conflicts... again... Why does everyone on Bladefist live on the East Coast?  Seriously.

The Argent Tournament's fun, and I'm totally dedicated to it enough to get the Argent Hippogryph  It'll take a while, that's for certain, but I wanted one of the white and brown hippogryphs ever since I first saw them flying around the Grizzly Hills.  I'm excited for this, in a way that I haven't really been excited about anything in WoW for quite some time.

Also: What the.... When did Tox get all those epic pieces of gear?  I don't remember this happening...I'm down to having 3 ilvl 200 Blues, everything else is epic.  Bwha?  That doesn't seem...proper.  Back when BC was out and everyone was just getting up to 70, it took me for freaking ever to get any epics.  I was in mostly blues for an eternity.  But now all-of-a-sudden I've got epics coming out my wazoo.  Hell, I've even got T7.5 gear on him.  At 70 I never had any Tier gear.  Granted, I did make a bunch of LW pieces for myself that were better than a lot of the tier gear, but that was strictly due to massive funds and me wanting the pieces incredibly badly.

TOPIC CHANGE!
Franny.  His specs got effed.  I need to find new tanking and DPS specs that have a good feel to them.  I miss Howling Blast in my tanking spec to no end.  That skill's like Franny's absolute mainstay.  Anything else just feels wrong.  So I'm probably gonna go at least 51 points into frost for his tanking spec along with his DPS spec.  (Frost is my shtick, if you didn't catch that).  What I really miss though are the 7k forced crits on 10 mobs at once.  That was hella fun but only doable with the previous patch in a 0/32/39 hybrid spec. 

I will admit that DKs were over powered.  I was pretty dang good tank and DPS pre-3.1, but now everything's more even and I don't blow all the DPS with similar level gear out of the water anymore.  I'm still good, but I'm most certainly not the best.

Though probably my favorite thing that's happened wow-wise is the ending of lent, which means that Aestara's back in action and I'm leveling up/questing with her on Thamlack.  He's getting a promotion apparently, no longer a DE mule, he has been upgraded to "DE mule/questing partner", which is actually a lot of fun.  Probably the most fun I've had since...I dunno, but it's awesome.  Though "learning" Ulduar's pretty awesome too.  I'm a glutton for punishment, I love the challenge and all the deaths.  No, seriously, I find that stuff to be incredibly fun.

Anyways, I'm outy, gots ta get me some valiant tokens.

Good Hunting,
~Tox
