I am just burning valor making sure I have none left when it comes in.
Just did a server start so we will see if 6 is in this week, in a few 
minutes.
The only character I don't have the Crystal? of Insanity? is the 
warrior, poor warrior  puppet of an incompetent puppet master.
Soooo close is not really much use when you may not get another chance 
for days.

I got the forager gloves and pick and..something else? on all the 
appropriate chars last time I was playing. Long after they were much use.

Oh please may there not be so many self heals and stuns in Wod so the 
warrior may get just a tiny bit of joy.  >.< this much would be an 
improvement :-)

Nope, no change.

I had hopes, the Blizzard updater took a long time with 'initialising' 
and a some disk activity and downloads
but not V6

I'm doing the opposite, may as well enjoy the free gold (apparently
valor gets converted to gold with 6.0) and then use gold/lesser charms
to do what I could've done with valor right now, I'm drowning in those
silly charms so can't wait to have a use for them :-)

Hah, I only got the foragers gloves once... on a tauren herbalist
(racial does NOT stack with gloves, ie, they're useless to him). Never
even seen the pick yet, I gave up on that one :-)

Can say the same for my priest tbh, although if I really do get
Silence, I will be soooo happy, no interrupt of any kind is just awful
for soloing stuff. I'm sure there's only 2 specs in the game which
can't interrupt, and my main has them both :-P

Dont wait for Sulik'Shor to spawn.  Go to the cave with the Foreboding 
Flames on Timeless and loot the blue/purple crystals here.  You dont 
need to loot many of them before you have a Crystal of Insanity.  I've 
done that on all 7 alts.
If you have a brandnew 85 char you can team up with a 90 and let him 
clear the cave while your 85'er loots the crystals as the crystal of 
insanity are usable from 85 and up. ^^

WHAT!!!


facepalmfacepalmfacepalmfacepalmfacepalmfacepalm
yep on wowhead 3% drop, I will check it out tomorrow
http://www.wowhead.com/item=86569/crystal-of-insanity#contained-in-object

I read up on it, but probably got an urgent call, got back and just 
assss-umed I had read it all. All that talk of camping, spawn times...
DOH DOH DOH
:-)
thanks

Thankfully I didn't spend much time ACTUALLY camping Sulik'Shor, all the 
others got it first try in passing, the Worrier(sic :-) just tried in 
passing since it is the farmer/head cook/miner anyway.
Never enough time to ask for a hand, Missed it by this >< much.
I just don't have the reactions to bounce around like Zebedee so my 
melee tend to get smacked a lot.

Yeah , often out farming I see a priest trying a quest/daily 
miniboss/rare or a bunch of adds in pandaland and they are in trouble. 
They are -usually- fairly happy to have a lump of plate or a voidlord 
drop in and distract the mob for a while. All heals gratefully received 
:-) The engineer can even resurrect, sometimes, it is an engineering 
item so can sometimes explode as well.

Hehe in all fairness, I'm mostly quite good at soloing (so long as
it's not a burst dmg needed kinda fight), but anything which needs
interrupts, I've had it. Self-healing mobs are the worst, the
Zandalari Dinomancers were impossible for me when dino isle first came
out (nowadays I can outburst them, with better gear), same for the
pandaran rares (I can outburst the low lvl ones now, not so convinced
about the higher lvl ones...). Basically for self-healing mobs, I need
to outgear them way more than any other class does, and mobs with
interruptable massive nukes aren't much better. 

That said, on some fights with uninterruptable dmg I do better than
pure dps classes, as I can absorb so much inc dmg, so I guess it's
swings and roudabouts. Amazing the difference gear makes though, my
draenei priest runs the same spec as my main, but is 491 ilvl compared
with 560 - I'm getting owned on Timeless isle lol, by mobs I'd
forgotten that my lack of interrupt can be a problem ;-)

Rank 5 and got my pet, plus did all rank 4 extra fights from the
cards, progress! Watching people doing the high lvl fights, I don't
expect to get a whole lot further though... rank 9 and 10 look
impossible to me :-P

Oh YES! thankyouthankyouthankyou :-)
Very easy to harvest, got it after 98 crystals which you can get 10 on a 
pass just in the first area if nobody else is picking them up.
Fast respawns so it took about 2 hours an that isn't waiting, just 
logout and login to do a tour.
:-) :-)

  The elites hurt on the warrior but with buffs it can take one fairly 
easily, 3 not so much :-) Make sure you have the fire buff and you can 
pretty much grab a roomfull and run out if under fire. Often most of 
them are down anyway.

They arent as hard as they look if you use wowhead. :)  Hexos is your 
only bump on the road.  For that you have to macro _all_ CDs, hero, 
agi/str/int pot.  You also have you tilt your camera so you look at your 
char directly from above.  I will also recommend any the use of 
size-shrinking item like the noggenfogger elixir.  That *REALLY* helps!
Do a few test runs before you use any pots and CDs so you know the fight 
and the patterns.

Hah, but... if you as a well-geared dps class need all dps cds, how am
I as a less well-geared heal spec supposed to produce enough dps? ;-)
Higher lvls aren't happening for me I reckon, I'll see how far I get
though!

Well.  After I started using the noggenfogger it was far easier for me. 
  Honestly I think I could have beaten him for hours as my char was 
shrinked.  The macro only completes the fight much faster. :)

Did I also mention I failed Durumu every time I did that fight (in
fairness I didn't *die* every time but did do a lot of
self-healing...), and Hexos looks to me significantly worse? ;-) I
don't think it'll go well if I ever meet him lol.

Well I hit my limit at rank 5... that strider with the torrent
ability, big nuke, needs interrupted... no interrupt  (I can survive
once with use of cds, but can't dps enough to prevent him using it
twice) :-P I should get an interrupt with 6.0, but that's too late for
this season!

Oh well, rank 4 and the pet was my target anyway :-)

Strange glowing mushrooms and Faint-glowing Herbs from timeless isle are 
your true friends here.  Get a stack of both and you should be able to 
get to rank 8 without too much hassle. :)

Hmm, I thought all those only worked in Pandaria, I may take a look
then, thanks! Although I'm not really sure I can be bothered anyway
lol, I reached my main target, anything else was a bonus really.

Heh, another thing i thought wouldn't work - they didn't when I tried
one vs Vashj on my alt the other day anyway, maybe it's just in raids
they don't work then :-(

They appear to work in the main world, but not in instanced areas.

they work as expected. :)  The spineclaws drops those shells that 
decrease your aggro range by 90% or so which also can be used outside 
Timeless.  If they arent fixed with the next expansion they will be 
SOOOO useful while leveling in WoD. =)
