Unlootable mobs

Do take note: The mob in Blade's Edge Mountains (South-West) named Abyssal Flamebringer cannot be looted once their body sets. After they die, they basically take like 0.5 seconds to do a dramatic-hand-in-the-air death before they shizzle and plop on the ground and only during this time can you loot the corpse. Click on it fast when it dies before it shizzles into a black patch on the ground. If you get the 'rare' death scene (I notice this happens when you kill it with a big bang, like crit or something), then there is no way for you to click on it as it just explodes and you're left with the black patch. You can see the sparklies on the black patch, but somehow it's not lootable. You can still target them using "/tar Abyssal" for example, but I tried /loot and well... that's not the command for looting a corpse rofl.

Having said that, it'll be sad for those who are killing them from a far range cos well... you'll either need to get near before it dies, or risk not getting any loot. I farmed them on my rogue (for a BOP alchemy recipe) and sadly, I died 3 times in the span of 50 minutes because I was trying to loot them even when I had an extra mob on me (cos I don't want to lose the loot) and did not vanish in time. So it really sucks. I've reported this to the GM but they didn't manage to reply me before I had to log off, so I'll need to wait for my brother to checks his e-mail and get back to me on their reply. I hope they fix this soon.

Also take note that this is the same case for the Gargantuan Abyssals in The Arcatraz (since they are basically the same mob-graphic-thingie).

I'll update more when I find out about the reply from the GM, or if they fix it in any patch. =)

Unscheduled downtime (Arena issues)

That's 2 hours of downtime, starting from now... apparently to fix some Arena hu-ha (which I don't really care cos I've only participated once before Season 2).

But speaking of Arena... Look at what I plan to get in about a month's time:

Gladiator's Silk Amice
Shoulder
Cloth
155 Armor

+42 Stamina
+13 Intellect

Blue Socket
Yellow Socket
Socket Bonus: +3 Resilience
Rating

Equip: Improves spell critical strike rating by 13
(0.6%).
Equip: Improves your resilience rating by 21 (0.5%).
Equip:
Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to
32.

OMG oh-so-droolable!!! Not to mention I am a crit-crazy-mage and this would be helpful to get me much much closer to my 40% crit target (currently at 35.71%)! Slap on the shoulder enchant from Scryer honored (+13 crit rating).... /drools

I doubt my druid or rogue's gonna be getting any Arena upgrades as of yet cos they cost too much arena points. So I'm saving them up and hopefully, one day get a really cool item like that one MH sword with 90+ dps... mmmmmm....

And also, getting my hunter to level 70 ASAP so maybe I can do some arena with a friend :) Hunters kinda rock for arenas... or at least I think so. I'm already too biased about how uber (well played) hunters are. Maybe one day I'll brag about some stuff I did on my hunter which I found to be rather.... uber!

Patch 2.1.2 is out

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/


Unfortunately at the time of this post, the url has not been updated. And since I can't copy + paste the one from Blizzard Updater, and cos I'm not sure how accurate the PTR notes are (too lazy to compare them), I'll just comment on some things I feel like commenting =P

Arena and Honor Rewards: As part of the inauguration of Season 2, the costs of all Arena items and Honor items has been reduced.

Wewt!!!! Now I'm really buffed up to get more PVP/arena rewards for more uberness on my characters :D Still, the thought of running AB another 100 times on my druid does suck =/

Spellcloth: Creating spellcloth will once again only summon one Angered Nether-wraith.

About freaking time! God how stressful it was having to run away from two of them, instead of one. And yes, I don't stay and fight cos they hit hard! I just mana shield and run away and blink and mana shield and mana shield and more mana shield till I leave combat =D

Druids in Swift Flight form can no longer loot herb nodes.

If they wanna nerf this, they should nerf druids herbing in travel form or normal flight form, no? Not that I bother since I need to be in human form to mine ore nodes. So does it affect skinning as well?

Sword Specialization: The change to Sword Specialization making its extra attacks appear in yellow has been reverted. Extra attacks will appear in white and act like any auto-attack. They will no longer reset the swing time of your weapon.

Damn you Blizzard!!!! Why? Why? Why? I know you hated Lase since a year ago but WWWHHHHYYYYY?????!!!! Sigh.... and people ask me why I don't play on my rogue as often.

Sethekk Heroic Mode: Anzu, the Raven God may no longer be pulled far away from the location where he is summoned.

That'll teach me to complete my druid swift flight form quest sooner. Serves me right.

Sethekk Heroic Mode: The quantity and health of Minions of Anzu that spawn have been reduced.

Well at least Blizzard has SOME compassion.

Mechanar: Nethermancer Sepethrea's Raging Flames should now periodically change their targets in Heroic mode.

Heh... I guess no more easy 2nd boss Mechanar herioc kill now. Wonder if groups would still keep trying to kill her for that one badge?


Notes:

1. I did not comment on classes besides Rogues, Druids and Mages (nothing to comment anyways) because I do not play those classes besides occassionally on my alts.
2. All patch notes have been copied and pasted from PTR notes with brief comparison on accuracy to the Blizzard Updater.
3. WoW is still owned by Blizzard till I win a HUGE lottery to buy over them. ROFL

Hunter quest

So there I was on my alt hunter doing the stewpeed hunter quest in Azshara. If you think the drop rates from the 'deers' suck, wait till you do the next part involving Wavetrashers. Oh god do they suck. I was killing Greater Wavetrashers and after killing like 15 of them, I only have 2 scales. Looked into Thottbot and found out there are Young Wavetrashers and Wavetrashers on the northern shore. So I headed there and finally got my quest done. I do notice the scales drop more frequently on the lower level wavetrashers which does not make sense, unless these beasts shed their scales when they grow older. And did I mention the total spawns for these mobs are just sad? I think there are fewer than 20 spawn points in total for them all (young, normal and greater) and having rather sucky drop rates for the scales does not help too. Blizzard needs to do something about this.... imagine if 5 hunters were on that same quest! OMG havoc!

WEWT new blog

This will be all about World of Warcraft, better known as WoW. If you're not a WoW fan or know nothing about the game, you might not fit in, though you can try. I'm an evil mean person in WoW, teasing people all the time and being a bitch, so I'm not going to be any different here cos... well this is about WoW... DUH!

What to expect in this blog?
- In-game screenshots. May be funny, may be braggy, whatever works
- Comments and rambles about classes/professions maybe? And bitching about Blizzard?
- Updates on my characters' development, if any
- Tips on how to farm gold? Maybe =P
- Random WoW stuff

How often do I update this blog?
Well seeing how I play WoW all the time, probably not as much as I should but every Tuesday is maintenance day so maybe... once a week? Hehehe...

Can I contact you in game?
If you're playing on Whisperwind, sure! Just go ahead and add my frequently played characters to your friendslist or just do a /who for these names: Lase, Ladylase, Stryphe


Well, that's all for now, comments and queries are most welcome. Who knows, I might even create a whole post to answer your question ;)
