Quail Eggs (or Caille and Oeuf)

Sick of giving Blizzard my money and wanting to show, once again, my deep love of all things troll, I created Caille (the troll hunter) on Burning Blade instead of transfering Arco (the blood elf hunter) from Eonar.  I know this is going to be a long-ish grind (or maybe it won’t…  it IS a hunter afterall), but I miss those big ugly blue feet damnit!

Posts obsessing over pets probably to follow shortly.

In other news, I continue to be impressed by my mage Eau and how few upgrades add so much DPS.  Looking back on the blog a few weeks ago, I was happy to be pulling 3k on bosses in Naxxramas.  Now that I have a mainhand, offhand, belt, and -something else I can’t remember- from 10-man Ulduar, I did almost 5k on Patchwerk the last time I ran 25-man Naxx!  (She also became Eau the Seeker recently…  still can’t decide if Loremaster Eau is a better title though…)  Plus I am super excited about the news that living bomb will be able to be applied to multiple targets with the next patch, so it’ll be a big boost to AoE DPS and function probably a little more like seed of corruption.  Speaking of the patch, when the hell is it going to come out?  I have heard rumors of early August, and I’m not sure that the druid I made can stand being level 1 much longer!

Anyway, I haven’t been playing much lately because I am currently in Hawaii for a family vacation!  🙂

Server Transfer

I transfered my mage (Eau) from the Eonar server to the Burning Blade server because of a combination of wanting to play with people I know in real life and feeling like I don’t fit in with people in my guild on Eonar anymore.  Initially, Nick and I were going to just level the rogues we made (the picture in the previous post) to save the money of transfering…  But when I decided to transfer my mage, he also transfered his shaman, and, as of yesterday, we’re both 80.

I’ve actually been 80 for a few days since I had a leg up in leveling – Eau was already 75 when I transfered her, but Nick’s shaman was only 70.  I’ve been running a lot of pugged heroics and it’s interesting to see the different dynamics that occur on each server.  On Eonar, people always pass then roll on BoP loot (or DE if there is an enchanter), whereas on Burning Blade everyone just greeds everything (I think this is because shards are pretty cheap on the server and people generally believe that they’ll get more gold if they just vendor the item).  There are also way more good pugs on Burning Blade, which could just be because there are so many more horde on this server than there were on Eonar.

Since reaching 80 (and with lots of help from Nick), I was able to buy my epic flying skill in Eau – my third character to have it.  I also made myself a Magnificent Flying Carpet!  Man, that thing is cool!

I think we are going to start a 10-man Naxx group this weekend and I’m really looking forward to it because a lot of the people in MAN THE HARPOONS (our guild on Burning Blade) don’t have much experience raiding and are really nice and funny.  It should be a nice change from what our guild on Eonar has become, at least for me…  I still have my hunter and other characters in the guild and I still check their forums sometimes, and it seems like they’re all having fun, but I just don’t fit in there anymore.  I like seeing content, but my idea of fun is not being so hardcore that people are yelling at you from fight to fight based on their damage meters (and I’m not even going to go into the accuracy issues surrounding those damage meters).  I guess they all just became a lot more intense and raiding-focused than I realized and I don’t really like it.  I’m pretty sure my mage is my new main.
