TB Roleplayers: I Am Here to BLOW YOUR MINDS

Action.

It can be as small as a little Troll warrior asking the wandering Death Knight, “Sih, kin Ah mine de ore from dat rock?” to as big as a group of people hanging out in a small coastal town, drinking around a fire and engaging in multiple conversations.

It all starts with one person, occasionally more, and expands from there. It never, however, spawns from players moaning about a lack of interaction or the amount of cliques on a particular server.

Roleplay is a social activity. It requires people to take their characters out into the world and engage with other characters, whether it’s a short snippet of conversation or a long, drawn-out plotline between a group of dedicated individuals. The people that get roleplay are not the ones that spend much of their time complaining about how dead roleplay is, nor are they the ones that constantly spout negativity and/or venom toward others (hint: I am only nasty toward someone if they are being nasty toward me – disagreeing does not equal being a jerk).

The people that get roleplay are the ones that act.

There is one member of my roleplaying community that has been on the server for six months and she does more for roleplay than any five of the most frequent complaining-types on my server. She frequently advertises that there is roleplay going on in certain locations from the Crossroads to Ratchet, and politely invites people to join in. She is friendly, open-minded and positive. She is active in three guilds and on one major community messageboard.

Guys? She’s already better at this than I am, and I’ve been at it for four years.

The secret to active roleplay: Just Do It!

One thing I have noticed in my time on Thorium Brotherhood is this: as more complaining takes place, less gets done. Time spent bemoaning the state of RP is time wasted. No amount of talk is going to improve anyone’s situation, ever.

The reason that I do not believe that roleplay on Thorium Brotherhood is dead is because, as hermit-like as I am, I actually do attempt to get out there. I occasionally show up to the main weekly event, even though I do not get along with a lot of people that go there. I occasionally seek people out. Once in a while, I run an event. I am frequently in-character wherever I go, especially in cities and while questing or grinding. Most of all, I maintain a positive attitude toward my server and its RP, even if I sometimes don’t agree with how people go about it.  I am open-minded. I do my best not to exclude people, though I can’t cater to everyone, and I do not, ever, try to pass myself off as some saviour of RP.

It is important to remain positive.

There are several people that are working their asses off in this community, trying to run events and just be Out There and helpful. Caeryn, Roshanar, Mellodi, Thierry, Lystaa, Berko – just some of the names from my particular section of the community – all do their best to encourage roleplay and help people out with it. They maintain a positive attitude toward Thorium Brotherhood RP. They don’t belittle it or minimize the efforts of those that even try by spouting venom at them.

That is hugely important. The more supportive people are of those that do their part, the better.

All in-character, all the time.

If one is unhappy with their particular lot in roleplay, perhaps it’s time to take a different approach. Try being in-character everywhere: while questing, during PvP, in the auction house, while crafting, no matter what one is doing or where one is, remain in-character and react to everything, even if nobody else is there. Immersion? Very helpful.

Events are awesome!

If it’s impossible to attend the events that are currently held, by all means, create some. Be as inclusive as possible to encourage attendance (unless, of course, one has a certain theme in mind – such as something meant for a single race or class) and do not use OOC reasoning to exclude any groups of people. The reason for an event must be in-character, even if it’s something as simple as “get completely wasted”. “Saving” RP is not a good reason for a roleplay event. Remember? Keep it positive.

Cliques: Interacting with people outside their boundaries since 200x.

Something else that people need to realize: TB’s “cliques” have been interacting with one another and with those outside them in a positive manner since, well, forever. When those interactions become negative, it is not the fault of the clique itself, but of individuals within any groups. Sometimes, some people just don’t get along – this does not make an entire group of people horrible. If, however, one person finds him or herself having difficulty with more than one group on a server, perhaps the problem isn’t the other people at all – in fact, it’s more likely to be that single person.

Overall: Be positive and get out there. There’s nothing to lose, folks. Nothing at all.

What I Would Like to See From the Roleplaying Community

A lot of roleplayers have this automatic sense of defeat about them. Nothing is within their power to fix, or if it is, there’s no point in doing it. Why should they report people that break the rules? It could cause trouble, create fights, fracture the community!

You know what? So does bitching without action. So does being a dick to people without real cause. So does being a permanent Negative Ned or Nancy. So does the constant complaint that Roleplay is dead, woe is us, let’s all cry for the good ol’ days.

My fellow Roleplayers, grow some fucking spines. Instead of bitching about the state of RP, do something. Be in-character wherever you go. Roleplay with everybody you meet, whether it’s in instances, battlegrounds, at the auction house, while negotiating for various trade goods – even the most mundane thing, do it in-character. Start running events! Start posting roleplay threads to your realm’s or community’s forums! Start dragging your guild or friends into the cities and roleplaying in public!

Don’t just sit there and bitch about how you think Roleplay is dead, how there’s no roleplay out in the world of Warcraft and blah blah blah, wah wah wah, soooooob. For fuck’s sake, pull your heads out of your asses and take action.

Report griefers. Report the textspeak kids that are yelling about how gay some dude named Tacobull is. Inform people that they are on a roleplay realm and that there is a specific ruleset that applies. They rolled on a roleplaying realm, it’s our sandbox, they have to play by Blizzard’s rules, too.

What does this mean for non-roleplayers?

It means that, really, not much will change. Your /guild, custom and /whisper channels are still yours to do whatever you like with, and you can get away with being OOC in /say and /yell if you’re sneaky about it. “lol im guna get so wasted 2nite!!! xDDD” becomes “Haha, I’m so getting wasted tonight”. Of course, the character could also be based upon you.

If you’re going to roll on a roleplay realm, be prepared to follow Blizzard’s roleplaying guidelines. That’s it. No ifs, ands or buts – it’s official as per Blizzard.

Overall, Roleplaying Community, I’d like to see you stand up for yourself. I’d like to see you do less complaining and more acting. This is going to be fucking hilarious coming out of me, but I’d like to see less petty bullshit and more working together.

If Matojo can set up the occasional roleplaying event and show up to a weekly tavern every so often that’s held by a guild that dislikes her (and that she doesn’t particularly like, either), other roleplayers (that don’t hold the “OMG RP IZ DED” opinion) can put in a little effort, too.

Why I’m Opting In to RealID

First thing’s first: This is going to be rambly. I forgot my anti depressants at my parents’ house and am rather light-headed and nonsensical already – everybody’s affected differently. If I piss someone off, so be it.

So, there’s a lot of concern about privacy regarding RealID. I think y’all ought to read this post before continuing the incoherent rage and whining, first off, and secondly, I need y’all to think about social media.

If you’re signed on to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or any number of other social networking sites, your privacy is already out the window. Even if you’re careful about what you post. If you order pizza, your information is already out there. If you rent movies from your local grocery store, there’s another batch of people with your information. If you run your own website, finding out about you is as simple as doing a WHOIS of your domain (if you didn’t put your domain under a pseudonym or something).

Privacy on the internet is a myth. If you put information out there, you cannot take it back. No matter how paranoid you are, someone, some company, somewhere, has something on you.

Scary, huh?

If someone wants to find something out about you and they know what tools they need to do so, they can. If you race-changed and name-changed and then server-transferred a character to get away from someone, they can figure out where you went (there are WoW detective sites that actually track transfers and race changes). Pre-RealID WoW is no more private than post-RealID WoW.

I will be opting in to RealID because a) Most people already know my real name by now (Parasite Eve, sets people on fire, sings, there you go), b) I’m not afraid to tell people “Not right now, I’m busy”, c) I’m not afraid to simply not accept friend requests from people I don’t like.

If people take my behaviour personally, that’s their problem, not mine. I already have someone taking my snarkiness as a personal affront whenever it’s her hubby (who, by the by, can defend himself he’s an adult for fuck’s sake) that’s snarked after he acts like a fuckwad (hey, he’s a dick to other people sometimes, too, I figure he’s earned it). The best part is that afterward he doesn’t take it personally. Why should he? Why should anybody?

If I don’t want to spend time with you, I’ll tell you. If I want to be left alone, I’ll tell you. If I don’t want you knowing where my characters are at all times, you’ll know. Do I give a fuck if you know my e-mail address? No. I use the same e-mail address for everything. I don’t have the attention span to have a different fucking e-mail address for each little thing that I do.

And chances are, if I let you refer to me by my first name, I’ll happily let you stalk add me (that means you, people with my cell phone number).

You have more power with this thing than you think you do, but if your freak-out is lack of privacy, darlings? You’re on the internet. You’re already without privacy.

I hope Blizzard’s enjoying my chat records~

Big Selling Point? Lol, Riiiight.

Path of the Titans has been yoinked. Apparently it was Cataclysm’s “big selling point”, or something, which boggles my mind. Really? Really?

Forget about the complete transformation of the world we’ve known for five years, the political upheaval and the brand new zones and dungeons! Ha! Those of us that thought all of those were the selling point were wrong – it was totally this unwieldy customization feature all along. Silly us, looking at the content instead of this … what the fuck was it, again?

Seriously guys, whoever was billing Path of the Titans as the selling point of the expansion was shitting themselves – and everyone else. The game will be just fine without it.

There’s going to be juicy new lore, amazing scenery, a new leveling experience and other toys to play with. The classes are being overhauled. Everything as we currently know it is changing.

If that ain’t what sells Cataclysm, I dunno what will.

A Taste, Just a Taste!

Last night, my friend Roshanar the Original Tauren Pally (on his Blood Elf paladin, mind) put out the call for bodies for the raid weekly, Razorscale.

Twenty-five man Razorscale.

It would be with Bad Moon Rising’s GROWL raid group, which includes Tchann and some other Harbingers and random people from the Roleplay community. I reluctantly offered my undergeared self in Mage form, warning that I wasn’t geared for 25-mans. “That’s okay!” I was told, as everyone else was overgeared anyway. So, I hopped to Kombeya and headed out.

It was my first time gunning for a Demolisher, and it was nice to have more to do than just shoot boxes, towers and giants. I kinda liked the whole hooking fuel thing, and Flame Leviathan dropped very quickly. I love watching motorcycles zoom about, too. Then, we gathered together to face Razorscale. Some in-character dialogue was exchanged, I actually remembered to use Focus Magic on somebody (another mage), and I blizzarded dwarves and pewpewed the dragon like I was supposed to (and I didn’t die in fire!).

In the end, I got a new hat. Kombeya has two blues left before she’s clad entirely in purples!

Really, the whole thing was easier than I thought it would be. BMR’s raid leader was very clear, everybody was really nice (and there was no drama from the one crazy person in raid) and overall it was a pleasant experience, even if I was a bit shy about taking any loot. xD

If I can get into the occasional raid for shiggles, awesome. It’s still not going to be my focus, but poking at this content every so often with people that are patient and in it for the fun, not progression, has been great. Unfortunately there’s the issue of scheduling.

This also leads me to consider my gearing options. Right now, my 80s are Matojo (Warrior), Bellerona (Warlock), Kombeya (Mage), Kinuka (Hunter), Dybo (Rogue), Gahiji (Death Knight) and Grindal (Priest). I most enjoy DPSing as a Warlock and Death Knight (though watching mage crits is about as thrilling as warlock crits), and then I have the Warrior for tanking and Priest for healing (eventually I’ll have a Druid and Shaman).

For PuGs, my poor priest needs more regen and stronger bubbles. Matojo just needs to keep generating insane rage and more threat. The other two? DAMAGE DAMAGE DAMAGE.

I think I’m on the road to  going back to gearing my toons again.

Being Different Ain’t Bad If You’re Not An Idiot

Every time I read comments on WoW.com’s Resto Shaman column (I would help the author hide a body, so if that doesn’t tell you my opinion on him, you’re fucking dense) I’m reminded that I wanted to write this particular article.

I strongly believe that, though there are Things We Should Not Do Because They Are Not Beneficial (e.g. stacking spirit as a Shaman) and there are Things That Have Been Proven To Work Very Well And Are Optimal, there’s also the path of slightly more resistance – the Things That Work, Are Not Optimal, But Can Make A Difference In The Hands Of The Right Player (or: TTWANObCMaDitRP). So that’s the “Should Nots”, “Should Dos” and “Can Dos”.

The “Should Nots”, a.k.a. the WTF-U-Doin’s, are things that have been proven to be lacking in effectiveness or that show a lack of understanding of one’s class and game mechanics. They are the things that leave most people shaking their heads, such as the priests that skip Meditation but gem for MP5 (you say you aren’t having mana issues, but you… gem as if you’re having mana issues and skip the talent that can make a difference), or the dual-wielding Death Knights that do not take the Dual Wield improvements available in the Frost tree. The people who make these decisions consistently perform below average in every situation.

The “Should Dos”, the “Tried and Trues” and the “Cookie-Cutters” are things that have been tested to death and proven to be effective. Certain specs that perform very well, stat weights that are considered the best for particular classes/specs/roles, boss strategies that are ideal. In this category are raid tanks that stack stamina, for example, or Resto shamans that favour haste.

The “Can Dos”, the “Red-Headed Stepchildren”, the “Ugly Ducklings”, these are the stats, specs and strategies that people know work for certain situations but are often derided for not being the norm. They’re the non-ICC tanks that look for avoidance stats over stamina, the Shamans that hunt for crit and spellpower, the Death Knight tank that switches a few points around to fit their style that may seem a little odd but turn out to be highly beneficial (Blood tanks nabbing all the oh shit buttons, maybe). They may not be what’s recommended by Elitist Jerks, but they work despite this – maybe in spite of it. They seem to succeed purely to watch the elitist types nerdrage.

I sincerely believe that, in WoW, we should do what we find fun. For some, it’s min-maxing. For others, RP. Some like to PvP. Others like a little of everything – nothing is exclusive. There are several of us that like to try new things, that realize that if an encounter was only meant to be beaten one way and one way only, no other methods would work.

You can fight Ingvar in his first phase with him facing toward the party, heal through all the AoE damage and succeed. You can also turn him away from the party, move when he’s about to do his thing, and succeed with less hardship. If you like, you can play Ghoul Rhoulette and have the Token Death Knight summon their Ghoul Posse – and still manage to clear.

There’s more than one way to succeed and to get what you want out of whatever you’re doing.

With that said, this isn’t a way to defend crappy specs or gear choices. “This is my play style” does not work when you are talking about a strength-stacking hunter or a death knight that wears Spellpower plate. This does not give one license to defend their 71 points in one tree, even, because that style of spec is highly ineffective (Blizzard has stated as much before, they built the trees the way they did to encourage people to select skills from multiple skill sets). It’s one thing to spec or gear, gem or enchant in a way that deviates slightly from the norm but still uses stats and talents that are beneficial to the class, and another to just do what one wants willy-nilly with no reasoning whatsoever to back it up.

In summary: Just because Elitist Jerks doesn’t spout the virtues of a particular stat weight, spec, strategy or play style (that has proven to work and, in the case of stats, actually benefits the class) doesn’t mean it’s utter shit. EJ is not the be all and end all of everything WoW.

Matojo Still Thinks It’s Hip to be Square (Weekly Rambling)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmyeah.

I’m going to see Huey Lewis and the News in New York state on July 9, which means the potential for meeting one of my fellow WoW bloggers and which also means trying to figure out this passport and hotel thing. Do I stay in Niagara Falls NY, Ontario, or retreat to Buffalo? Decisions, decisions. Yes, I’m driving. Yes, I’m taking my laptop. No, the cat stays at home.

Sorry, Simon.

In WoW I am in one of those spots where I’m not quite sure of my goals, I’m just coasting. I’ve been slowly getting back into public RP and RPing a little more than I was, which is always a good thing. I have found a priest that makes me think I’m actually a good priest (her spec is a clusterfuck and she gems for MP5) and I successfully healed the Hateful Strike tank on Patchwerk – but it’s still Patchwerk. I know I can heal parts of Naxx, however, because I have healed through Ranged Horseman Duty before. That was interesting and occasionally panic-inducing because I have a hard time remembering to heal myself.

Because paying attention to your own health bar is hard.

What, it is.

I don’t really consider tanking Patchwerk to be an indication of one’s tanking prowess. I mean, it’s one mob with no tricks, sorta akin to tanking most heroic bosses. I bet I could do it, even, and I’m not particularly awesome (though Gahiji, with buffs, is up to 35kish HP). Yes, yes, thank you friends and guildies, I know you think I am. I really need to get back into tanking, though, and become awesome so I can put some of these “look at me I am amaaazing” people in their places.

Reading somebody saying they can’t believe there are tanks that are better than them when there… is nothing particularly special about them is rather, um, fascinating. Really. Don’t get a big head about being a tank, please, you make the rest of us look bad when you do that. Especially when I vaguely remember my mage’s frost spec nearly overtaking at least one of these big-headed tanks on the threat meters.

A frost mage should not have been doing that before the slight buffs that they received, thank you. No. Really.

Anyway, I race-changed my Orc Death Knight to a Blood Elf Death Knight and the other BE DK into a Tauren Male, who, ICly, sounds a lot like this guy in my head. This doesn’t fit a Tauren, thanks muses, it really doesn’t.  At first I thought the Tauren Warrior that accompanies this dude sounded like Abby from NCIS, but now I’m not so sure. Too cranky. Then again, I’d be cranky if I had to finish off my mentor after a bad fight in the Plaguelands, too. The weekend was spent leveling this new Tauren’s skinning and mining which meant bashing my head against the living room wall until I could no longer feel anything.

I’ve also found that I’d love to play Afsan, the character that appeared in Taashiki’s story, but I don’t want to start yet another hunter. Ojore, my warrior, is pretty… well, I think I only hold onto him because I feel sorry for him. That’s about it. The character doesn’t have much going for him unless I put him into the Coldblood Blitz, where he’d at least have people he could fight for. The thought of Kinuka being a warrior is pretty interesting, though (bouncebounce)… thankfully, her adoration for her Devilsaur overrides any desire for Kinuka to become a warrior. Thus, the alt stable stops shifting…

… For now.

Varkev is going after The Seeker as a title. Just 2500 quests to go!

One More For the Alt Closet and More Babble

My Warlock hit 80 yesterday and is already hit-capped thanks to some crafted gear. Oh, Ebonweave, I love you.

So I am now up to Warrior, Rogue, Hunter, Mage, Priest, Death Knight and Warlock at 80, which probably means I spend way too much time on WoW, but really, meh, whatever. I am finding that my preferences for DPS are tied between Warlock, Mage and Death Knight, surprisingly, so I will probably just prod at their gear gradually between my preferred activity of watching toons gain experience and delving into the occasional Roleplay thing.

I am loling at my community’s belief that there is no such thing as a wrong opinion. Believing that it’s stupid that there are some people that don’t enjoy raiding is, frankly, wrong, because who the fuck are you to decide the stupidity level of one’s in-game preferences? Then again, I have no respect for the person who stated that as his opinion (hello, he spent a long time thinking that he didn’t need to gem or enchant his gear as a raider, his opinion does not matter because it’s bound to be idiotic anyway).

I’m finding that the more certain individuals try to push me into raiding, the less interested I am. When I hear, “Now pick one and get it ready for raiding” my immediate internal response is “no, fuck you” – have I mentioned I’m really cranky and combative lately? Like, if a baby looks at me funny I might punt it.

It’s just… if it’s so damn fun then stop fucking pushing and let me come to it on my own. I’m already wishy-washy about it as it is, damn it, and sitting there trying to debate my decision to do shit other than raid is fucking – AUGH. I rolled on a fucking roleplay server. If I wanted to raid, I’d actually make the attempt at making a character raid-ready.

I don’t have the fucking attention span, so drop it already.

Besides, I’ve pretty much decided that – after attempting to do a Naxx weekly and having it turn into an awesome bashing of the military and plague quarters – I’m only raiding with the Harbingers. [plug]The Harbingers of War are the most awesome guild on Thorium Brotherhood[/plug], they keep me sane through the issues I keep having with real life, thus, they get my undying loyalty and love. They’ve taken me into Naxx, they’ve thrown me at Flame Leviathan, they’ve offered – not PUSHED – me a spot in an Ulduar run (unfortunately, this week’s didn’t have enough people and I was in too shitty a mood to even try it), they held my hand, pointed me at shit and told me to kill it.

… And they didn’t laugh TOO hard when I died to Frogger. Twice. SHUT UP.

So yeah. I have a bunch of 80s and I don’t raid. BOOYAH. Respect my decision not to raid just like I respect YOUR decision to do so. Or something.

Last night, I also tried DPSing as Gahiji (my Death Nugget) and found that a) So far, I like Blood and Unholy about equally, b) I peaked at 3.5k DPS on Loken in Heroic HoL as Unholy, beating my previous DPS record on that toon by a good 1.3k, c) I’d like Unholy a hell of a lot more if I didn’t have to deal with the Ghoul. I picked up a pair of the tournament maces to try out DW Frost DPS, but will have to level up my mace skill first – I plan to finish that tonight, which means potentially pulling an alt into say, RFC or SM or something.

On Playing Half-Elves

I apologize if I’ve covered this before, but I was up way too late last night debating about this very thing, so it’s on my mind.

Most who roleplay with me are aware that I’m willing to accept a lot of things. I can deal with the walking homosexual stereotypes (though, to be honest, I’m getting a little tired of people playing up the stereotype of the FABULOUS gay elf – you do know it’s possible to be into members of the same sex without being flamboyant, right?), the occasional speshul snowflake, the dudes with mechanical parts (though that is supported by lore and people that don’t see that obviously never quested in Stonetalon, Borean Tundra or ran Gnomeregan) and the secret somethings. I can deal with strange shit if it’s played well.

What bothers me the most about the play of half-elves is that, like secret dragons, they are rarely played in a manner that realistically matches the setting.

In World of Warcraft, Quel’dorei – the blue-eyed, pink-skinned elves whose majority population became Sin’dorei with Kael’thas upon feeding on Fel energies – and humans are considered traitors by the Sin’dorei. For the Quel’dorei, it’s because they didn’t join the Sin’dorei in their transformation. For the humans, it’s because they basically left the Sin’dorei to die when the Scourge happened. So, one can imagine that neither race would be welcomed to the Horde with open arms – their offspring even less so.

So, try to imagine a half-elf that doesn’t have green glowy eyes. Tell me how long you think that would last in a Horde city, realistically speaking.

Yeah. Exactly.

You would also think that a character that has been challenged for being the product of two traitorous races’ mating, has been threatened and has had their points of view regarding human relations to pretty much every member of the Horde would be a little more careful about how… they… act. You would think that they wouldn’t be so quick to exclaim, “I’m part human!”, or to express their like of humans and how totally not dicks they are, seriously guys.

But, no.

Azeroth is a world that is at war. Most Sin’dorei are unwilling to forgive the Quel’dorei and the humans for screwing them over, and most of the other Horde races are pretty rar-fase over anything with an Alliance tabard. Yes, there are exceptions, but those are rare – and the player-characters that actually play out being “roooar hiss” are met with… surprise on the part of the half-elf. The half-elf who has been met with these reactions before.

What.

I’m not quite sure where my point was, I know I had one. I guess it’s this: If you’re going to play something that the in-game world at large considers “taboo” or outright traitorous, for the love of Djehuty who guides my writing hand please at least attempt to play your character in a manner that’s realistic for the setting. This does not include putting a spotlight upon yourself and bragging about where you’re from or what you did while under Alliance rule (I’m writing from a Horde P.O.V. here), nor does it include spouting off about how the Alliance are so totes cool and omg the Horde isn’t innocent either we should all be ~*friends*~. It… isn’t working that way in the game world. It really isn’t.

… No really I had a point come baaaaaaack.

Troll is Tanking, HOW CAN THIS BE?

I recently picked up Gahiji as a tank again. After capping his hit and expertise and adjusting his spec, I started diving into heroics and found that… I could actually hold aggro against highly geared party-mates. Where I used to have issues, I suddenly didn’t unless the asshats were opening up their AoEs far too quickly.

Or, in the case of warlocks, dropping that damned Seed of Corruption before I’ve had a chance to grab things. If you’re wondering why you’re dying, just use something that’s less fucking obnoxious.

For some reason I never fail to remember hit caps on my DPS toons, but the tanks? Every single fucking time. Unfortunately, Matojo is still not quite near his heroic hit cap yet, but he’s getting there thanks to Emblem upgrades and the occasional piece of heroic gear.

I love tanking. My Tauren tank on TB, Briske, hit 15 and I immediately hit randoms on him even though it was way past my bedtime. I occasionally hop on Tecila to tank a random and, honestly, I should do so more often – same with Bellonah – because Zul’jin’s battlegroup has been surprisingly good to me with the random groups (I haven’t had any supremely jerkfaced types yet). I’ve turned my TB Night Elf Druid, Ashkena, into a bear tank and… yeah. I’m a little obsessed.

So far, I’m up to three bears (22, 35, 73), one paladin (73), five warriors (10, 15, 24, 50, 80) and four or five Death Knights (60, 60, 60, 70, 80) that are specced and geared for tanking. In comparison, I have three priests (28, 64, 80), two shamans (66, 70) and one paladin (15) that are specced and geared for healing. What is that about girls preferring healing again? Sorry, can you say that while I bash your face in with my shield?

Yeah. Didn’t think so.

Unfortunately I’m lacking tanks on Moon Guard and will have to remedy this. DANIIL NEEDS TO LEVEL.
