Konnichiwa Multiboxing

Been a long time

2011-07-06T15:37:00.003+01:00

Since i didn't wrote anything here!

Well nothing extraordinary happened, i've been riding my bike more than ever, lost some interest to geocaching and overall i'm good :)

Last March i joined one of my old guild, After Hours @ Silvermoon, and been playing Rogue since.
There was a project with some old mates that didn't lasted (as always, people loose interest cause they contantly swap games to play), on which my Paladin was in, and now i have it on Silvermoon Horde, where a little team from After Hours decided to be Horde server first :P

Multiboxing is completly out of my projects for the near future but i'll always had those times in my mind, cause they were great.

Wish the best luck for all my old boxing friends and everyone i know that visit's this blog!

I'll post something whenever i find it worthy :)

Dunno what tittle i should give to this text. It's nothing in particular, only to state that lately i don't feel like logging.

I don't know if i should burn my eyes boosting and boosting teams or simply level one toon. Don't even know if in one month and a half from now i still want to multibox.

The whole idea of having a guild of boxers is fun, but the probability of having someone to wreck AV with is low. People tend to play alone, either leveling toons or doing PvP, doing PvE or simply leveling profs, feels like it's on purpose. Well, im not saying some people gather and do their things, but at least with me, whenever i look and propose something it's hard to get things going.

And so, i've been a bit away from wow. This week i've must logged 1 or 2 times for 1 hour or so, lol.
I think i'm going to continue solo leveling each of my toons, the classes i still lack at 80: Priest 31, Warlock 37, Mage 32, Druid 26, DK 67, Hunter 48.

Already have: Paladin, Warrior, Rogue, Shaman.

It's just that logging the shaman and steamroll in AV feels a bit of waste of time with the xpack closing in, and also, i don't have anyone to come and have a laugh with. So i guess it's fun when i think about multiboxing haters, that tell everyone multiboxers are anti-social and freaks, when it's exactly the oposite. I like to socialize a lot and have a laugh at QQ'rs :)

Anyways it's weekend, and it means riding my bike, travel a bit and do some geocaching!

Cataclysm release date

2010-09-14T11:41:00.002+01:00

It's getting close to the release. My inital date was 1 November (inside infoz!), and it will be close to that, as more and more sites announce the first week of November as release date.

Thinking about taking a week off, insist in some MTB riding during the day and some Cata leveling during the night :) Once again, like in WotLK, Shamans are going for the cap first, and then i'll think about the Paladin, that may find some social raids at After Hours - A late night raiding guild that likes progress! Apply there if you're looking for a mature guild, 3 days raid a week, each for 3 hours and a nice guild environment!

Now that i put togheter a catchy title and some shameless pub, i shall tell u that i've been waisting both my beta account and my current 5 wow accounts, mostly due to late night GeoCaching with some friends, they constantly nagg me about it and i end up driving my car in jeep roads :)

Not sure if today, because i want to ride my mountain bike, but definitly thursday or friday is alliance city raiding day!

Returning to Gimp

2010-09-11T14:50:00.002+01:00

Had to consider it, and after clearing my mind i decided to ask to join! Ofc i was invited, but the guild is almost full with alts, lol.
Meanwhile i've done some AV's, and got some footage for a nice vid :)
Anyway, had to sleep earlier, i had some geocaching today in hard terrain, but it was so worth it!

Sporting Lisbon in some hours, let's win that shit!

AV Weekend

2010-09-08T16:07:00.002+01:00

A reminder to all Misery Battlegroup Multiboxers.
It's AV Weekend in a few days :P

8 months later

2010-09-04T05:56:00.003+01:00

All 5 shamans are up and running, like old times. After some hours with macros and configs i finnaly have a taste of what it was like, and nothing like a good BG for a test.

Not bad.

Founded a new guild, quinary, after being kicked from Gimp and not even receive a reason or note. I was online with a solo char when i saw some of my teams being kicked... Anyways everyone's welcome to join and stay as long as they want!

Clearcast 3

2010-09-03T00:51:00.002+01:00

A mate from GB Horde known for his skill and good mov(i)es. While joking with him about entering one of his movies, he told me: "but u already got on one :)"

lol
Here it is: Cleacast 3 - Minute 33:20 :D

Do want!

2010-09-02T23:18:00.001+01:00

A new fucking computer to handle 4 wow clients!
Accepting donations!

Konnichiwa back home

2010-09-02T15:16:00.003+01:00

March this year i went Silvermoon with all i had and took the main shaman with me!
Now the shaman is back home, to his 4 brothers that missed him for a long time!

In time they'll get ready for more adventures, another way of saying major owning :)
The info is spread, the best PvP'rs on GB Horde know they'll have a nice help in battlegrounds for Cataclysm!

I may be unable to play so much time like i used to, but at least i'll play it in style, causing QQ and e-havok :P

This is Konnichiwa v3

Worgens are cute, but...

2010-09-02T14:48:00.002+01:00

Goblins take the prize.
Thing with worgens atm is their starting zone and their looks. They look amazing and the animations are cool.

But, today i had the opportunity to create a Goblin and got an instant laugh. It's still downloading the whole beta to my laptop, so i haven't been able to play with it more than 2 minutes, but from what i see, it's machines and crazy buildings allover the place, with people delivering quests in cars and all that sort of stuff.

Looking forward to take a look later and record a video :)

Cataclysm Beta

2010-08-27T16:09:00.002+01:00

After 1 847 982 spamm emails, i received the real deal yesterday.
700mb base install, followed by a long, long, long download of 13gb. It's still downloading as i write, hopefully i'll have the whole experience later tonight.

I'll post some stuff later, some screenshots and perhaps a video.

Haven't been able to create a Goblin to see how it moves and how are the racials, but i already have a Worgen made and the starting zone looks great.

Later chaps!

Why isn't Multiboxing dead

2010-08-20T15:26:00.003+01:00

Felt like writing something. Afterall, it ain't everything about idiots who use guilds and their good will.

Why isn't multiboxing dead?

After all the modifications in game, that annoy every single multiboxer?
Like arriving AV and don't have leader anymore, and find our chars scattered among 5 different groups.
Or a retarded shaman that pop's heroism before the gates open, or just after.

After PvP became retarded to the point of a single AoE'r kill 5 or more people in one place?
Arena matches taking less than one minute, and i'm not talking about skilled players, but rather mages and locks pressing a couple buttons.

But like so many non-multiboxing people always said: multiboxing is unfair
Come get raped by AoE to see what unfair.

Well, and to answer my inicial question, why isn't multiboxing dead, is quite simple.
It takes 15 minutes, to try and join a random dungeon, to see why multiboxing can be your best friend! The ammount of retards in WoW continues rising and there's no stopping that.
50% of runs are doomed by people always saying gibberish.
20% of the runs end when people ding and leave the group to go learn new talents.
20% of the times u'll get an afk tank
5% u'll have people kicking other people
4% is 4 guys walking around, not knowing where to go, with me trying to say that i know the way: follow me please!
1% of the runs, u'll get 4 other people who have done the instances countless times, who know what to pull and when to pull. Know when the healers and dps's need to MB.

Multiboxing turns that 1% into 100%.

Two years ago

2010-08-02T23:10:00.002+01:00

I didn't care with nothing more than fun while playing WoW. I stopped worrying about gear, and raiding, and DKP's and shit.
It really didn't matter how much decked in BT gear someone was, or PvP gear... it was a dead target. A vast legion of fans emerged and Grim Batol wasn't the same anymore.

My memories from 2 years ago:
My pal Strickmabil and i traveling around and killing...stuff.

Dropping a 2150 rating team dead in 20seconds and laughing at the whine on official forums

Gohan, Francis, Slayer, Ji, Big, Debian, Blade, Gibson laughing hystericaly at "that druid decked in sunwell gear is gonna die! watch him! watch him! ahahahhahahhahaha!!!"

Let's see if Cataclysm gives something deadly for multiboxers, now that Mages have "heroism/bloodlust" and so many other surprises. I don't think i can resist to upgrade my 5 accounts :P

Unfortunnetly i can't play that much nowadays, but i'd sure have fun like the old times!

So anyways, here's a vid to remember

Learn more at the WoW Wiki

Casualcraft, Raiding and Legendary's

2010-08-02T01:19:00.003+01:00

I felt like i needed to write something about what i learned today. Something we all should take in consideration, because no matter how many times it happens, how many times it repeats, u always happen to see it again and again. U saw it comming, but whatever, let's give the benefict of the doubt another time.

Back in late February, with the slowing of my multiboxing practice and the increasing ammount of chat windows on msn saying "common, join us, it'll be fun", i decided to migrate from Grim Batol to Silvermoon with my Paladin. In the process some of my friends got surprised and some said i didn't even bothered telling anything, but no big deal i thought, it's people i keep in touch almost everyday either on facebook, twitter, sms, forums, etc.

I went to join After Hours, with a lot of other friends that happened to raid with me in cartel, another guild where a legendary got aborted.

With the arrival at the server, carrying 20kgold and 20 Saronite Bars worth of many gold to sell on the AH, i asked if anyone had plans of going for the legendary.
At first the only one was malanho, someone i knew for a very long time. He was undecided and a couple more days passed by without anyone knowing exactly who was going to do what.
Some days later, late night talk, he says: "nah, won't make it. it's far too expensive, time consuming, and i don't even have the gold yet."
With the time closing in due to our raid progression, we really needed someone on the quest to make fragments drop.
So i thought, well, i can make the weapon, do the quest line and start this once and for all.

On the next night he says: "i wanna do it afterall."
And in a couple hours of buying and selling, ask the guild bank for 3 saronites and ask some borrowed, he crafted shadow's edge.

I even ofered some of my saronites to help, but it wasn't needed anymore, so i went to sell everything at the AH and made a good proffit.

The following 2 months and a half was a grind, and finnaly in the end of May, Malanho got his well diserved Shadowmourne. Well, until that time, whatsoever.

At this time everyone was so focused on getting it done, that most officers didn't even thought about:
- who was the second one to make another shadowmourne
- who had the most quest's done in the questline
- who had interest

And to tell the thruth, it all kind burned me.
The fact that burning a whole night on one boss for progress was a rare drop.
Or that, because of our short schedule (9 raid hours per lockout), we were always running to make boss's and make fragments drop.
Or that, sometimes, a tip came out of nowhere: "tired of this boss, let's farm the others"

Meanwhile, in the beggining of May i started getting some strange behaviours with my eyesight. I've been born with astigmatism on my right eye and my left one has always been my salvation. At the same time, i stressed it too much, but when u can't compare what u see with the left and on the right, u really can't say whats going on, and all i thought was: i have my eyes tired.

I slowly started missing raids, and from the 3 weekly ones, i started making 2. And then sometime i could barely survive making 1. It was terrible. The guild needed me and i couldn't focus. After 1 hour playing all i see is things walking on the screen.

So, Malanho ended his legendary for him and used the quest item to sell a horse for 60kgold profit for himself (if i recall correctly). GZ!

Someone was needed to make the second shadowmourne, someone trustworthy. At the beggining i said i couldn't make it. I had too much going on my life, togheter with health issues, and it would be bad to accept such a task.
A week went on and still, officers couldn't decide on whom to do it, and after talking with 2 people i said, after long consideration that i wanted to do it.

Believe it or not, i wanted to make it just to make sure it stayed on the guild, more than anything else. But people who know me know the sucker i am for lore items. How much time i farm, and dedicate time to worthless shit for so many people. For years i've been farming my Thunderfury. This year i finally managed my Sulfuras. I grinded Zul Gurub with my Paladin and my Shamans more times than 10 people who got zulian tiger, combined.
Having iconic items is more than showoff. Is something not meant for everyone, such as casuals or people that give no value to an account, to the point of selling it.

Well, i managed to convince Reigoto about doing Shadowmourne. I crafted Shadow's Edge and started my grind. I made 25 mans, 10mans, grinded undead mobs and on the second week, due to so much time spent on WoW, i started to have problems on my eyesight. I had to quit it. I wanted so bad to do it, as a personal souvenir from a fantastic game and making sure it stayed among us, our guild, but it was impossible.

I apologized Reigoto and the rest of the officers. I apologized to those who were about to complete the questline instead of me (Kobar and Habbaray) and togheter we decided to give the task to Kobar, whom we knew for a year, a really nice lad.
I asked the guild for a break, due to health issues, and on the following day went to the hospital in Lisbon to make sure everything was fine. After some hours of tests to make sure my corneae were fine, i came home. It's mostly tired vision. Working in computers the whole day, and play all night isn't a good thing to do, did you know?

The story is long now, and i've talked a lot about what happened to me the last months, that forced me to quit raiding and follow a more healthy life like jogging with friends and playing some football. Fuck, i didn't ran for years, making 4km's in 30minutes is godlike :D (for a person of my structure ahaha)

But like any other story, this one has an ending and a porpuse.
I didn't made the first shadowmourne because Malanho wanted to do so. For him, for the guild, for everyone.
It's a bit disapointing to see that, barely a month after, he put his account on sale: link
From my PoV, it's another fuckup made, another "i love everyone so much, and i'm a good guy, let me do it" that has happened in the past, and let other guilds to disband.
And to add, he has a story of selling and buying accounts or starting new ones from scratch, because he gets tired. And then he get's tired again.
Having it done by people i don't give a fuck? I really don't give a fuck.
Having it done by people i know online for years? I do give a fuck, and so should everyone.

He says, and i quote:
"tenho outras prioridades na vida neste momento e não quero perder mais tempo de vida agarrado a isto."

"I've got other priorities in life at this moment, and i don't wanna lose more time of my life shackled to this."

My question:
Why.
The fuck.
Did u made an item such as that to quit on the game, on your friends, on everyone of the guild just to sell the account 3 months later.
To fucking SELL the account.

It's not like, im tired of the game, i'll have a break.
Or, im ill and can't play.
BUT THE FUCKING ACCOUNT STAYS ON THE GUILD, ALONG WITH THE FUCKING WEAPON EVERYONE HELPED ME TO DO, AND ALL THE GOLD I PROFITTED FROM THE LITTLE PONNY I SOLD ON THE AH IS FOR THE GUILD BANK.

No. U decided to sell the account and profit from eveyone who helped you.
Burn my fucking eyes right now, if i would do that to the people who would help me reaching such a unique weapon. It' would stay on the guild forever.

Oh btw, i wanna give an answer to myself!
Answer:
U saw it comming, alongside with a chance of making something that would make your account valuable.
I don't think your account is valuable because of a priest a warrior and a mage decked in welfare and casual epics.
I don't think your account is valuable because of the other account u already had bought and linked to this same battle.net account.
I think your account is valuable because your selling it with an item that always stays on guilds. Because the people who accomplish that weapon know that without help it would never be possible, and by any means it stays on guilds.

Ow sorry. Forgot to add.
Serious people do that, not everyone.

Because for you, it's a matter of "it's my login, my account, and i want money"
For me it's like asking others to tell u to fuck off the next time they see you.
So let me say something, on the peak of my nerdrage: Go, fuck, yourself.

Now please, spare me the "u take the interwebs too serious" or "it's just a game mate."

And thanks for clearing out the ideas i had about you.

Tuesday, 16 March
Preparing for a night of LK 10-man tries, so i went to WSG to build up some rage agaisnt the world. When i left WSG i could easily spank Chuck Norris, so LK was kind of a joke tbh. Guess we made around 8 try's and downed the motherfockor and it felt so fucking epic.
I also happened to press escape when the cinematic poped in, so i missed all the fun. It's a hell of a fight, and what makes it look easier are brains on your partners. Everyone was focused, and with my 5.4Gearscore i had to really push it to keep with the other people. He really had some sick dps yesterday.
The main problem on that fight is defile, the rest in quite simple to execute. Has been a long time since i really felt that epic feeling of downing a boss.
Now we look forward to 25man, which is going to be a major pain in the ass :)

Me and Bene sharing the throne

Been a while...

2010-03-03T14:58:00.003Z

since my last post.
I've been sorting out stuff at work, playing some WoW and planning some adventures (life's too short).

So im back at PvE, once again! Of course i want to see the content and raid with my Paladin, but im more excited to play with friends again.

I've transfered my Paladin to Silvermoon, along with my Warrior. I already had my Rogue there, still at lvl77, but looking forward to level it up.
The guild is After Hours and it's the solution for whoever arrives late at home, back from work or whatever, and still wants a piece of WoW. Check it, it's a very nice guild, always seeking more devoted and grown up players.

All my preparations are done, im back at raiding ret after a long time and im excited about it. Im also looking forward to craft my Shadow's Edge and who know's, in the future i may upgrade it.

There isn't much to add, other than im about to go on a trip to Madrid and visit an old pal, and at the same time watch Sporting Lisbon against Atlético Madrid for the UEFA Europa League :D

Stay cool!

The Best UI...

2010-02-19T22:12:00.002Z

has got even better.

SkepsisRaidUI
Even if u don't raid at all, use it and feel that freshness everytime u log. I'm a bit paranoid about UI's and must have tested like 50 or whatever but this one is the best and the author tries to keep it always updated for each patch.

Try it out.
No, i don't earn cookies with this pub.

Addon: Altoholic

2010-02-18T16:51:00.004Z

Altoholic isn't new around. It's been talked for more than a year at least, between alt's fanatics, as a must have.

If u take alt's seriously u must have it.
If u don't have it, either ur just slacking (like me) or u don't wanna assume how geek u are.

I consider myself an altoholic. I've done several chars, on serveral accounts. I've even deleted many lvl's 20's just because i wanted to organize my multiboxing teams, or simply because i needed to transfer back my chars to GB Horde, and couldn't have Ally chars.
Long story short, i lost total track of the time i've spent on alt's of any kind.

What i currently hold is my oldest chars and some fresh ones i've created recently to have one of each class.

Yesterday, after reading a post at mmo-champion regarding altoholic, i decided to give it a go, since im pretty much into my alt's atm.
The result was quite...unexpected. It was great to have such an addon that keeps track of everything one might need to organize his toons, but at the same time, when i saw the summary of days played i kinda...i dunno...stopped in time?
372 days played on all chars, not counting a mage i've had with 20 days and a lot of other lvl 20's and 30's i had at some point.
By my calculations i must have around 450 days played lifetime on all accounts and toons i had active. Ofc i've thought of the afk times, but even if u take out what? 30 days? 40 days? Yeah, it's still a lot.

So... my advice is that, if u don't wanna get depressed by the ammount of time spent in WoW don't install it. If u don't bother at all with it, use this awesome tool for who has more than one char.

Do u think im loco?

2010-02-17T17:32:00.002Z

When i started doing the Insane achievement, wich i didn't even ended, people called me mad.

So let me present u the next level.

"Fast" Generation

2010-02-17T10:42:00.003Z

Been enjoying the game like it should. Many low level alt's that give me plenty to do, quest here and there with the ocasional random dungeons. Even my cousin made me grab an old account and set it up for him to play (ofc, he made his 3rd hunter), and i've been leveling a druid along with him, whenever he comes visit me.
So mostly i've been tweaking my warrior and pala, and leveling all the remaining classes with heirlooms, since at Portugal we can't benefict from the RAF system.

But... something just doesn't feel's right.
Sometimes i get perfect groups of people that know what to do and how it must be done.
But most of the times it's scrubs, wanting to make it fast. The word is indeed "fast".

"Faster"
"Come on, pull faster"
"Dude please do this faster"
Upon entering a random HC or low level dungeon: "Let's make it fast"
"Faster tank"

Well, the irony in all this is that, most of the times, those telling to go faster end up fucking it.
The story i have present in my memory is about a AN HC random run, where this rogue decked with a 5800+ GS just kept saying "faster" all the time.
He wanted it so fast that he even went to do the 2nd boss bug, where he vanished and reseted the fight, but the other ppl were so slow that got owned by the respawn and....wipe.
Second try, he does the same, sprinting to Anub's room and leaving us running our way down, while i managed to do it with another guy, 2 were killed and had to corpse run, now without the rogue to do the trick again.
It's important to say that i told him not to do it, cause it was an easy badge and was better not to confuse ppl, to what he told me fuck off and join another heroic to triumph farming.
It's also important to say that, after he talked to me like that, i made everything possible to fuck him and his fast run, so after 30 minutes i finally made him to say the magic words: "thx for everything u motherfucker no-lifer" and he left.

For every single instance on random HC mode it's been almost 100% like this.
People join for the 2 Emblem's of Frost that are given at the end of the run and nothing else, so if it was possbile to skip the entire instance they would want to.

What's most annoying is that most people don't say anything about skiping the badge, or being told what to do by scrubs decked in their ICC gear that monkeys could achieve. In fact, i believe most of them don't even read the chat or have it enabled.
WoW is easy. Even leveling up with all the help now available is damn easy. Everything is shown as easy, yet appealing to new players and even older ones seeking to level alt's.
But in the end we get this mixture of hardcore, semi-hardcore, casuals that doesn't go along well with random dungeons, unbalanced pvp and everything available via emblems.

People are constantly angry at eachother because they know that, in the end, the difference between a devoted (im not even saying a 24/7 raider) player and a casual one is getting slimmer each day.

All i know is that i miss the classic wow. The one we enjoyed so much and that everyday we remember as "those were the days".

To be continued...

Oh noes.....

2010-02-04T11:44:00.002Z

Since i just can't seem to get some freakin boot's for my warrior, either prot or fury but what i really want is fury set, i had to buy the PvP ones, until i get some proper ones for PvE.

WHILE VISITING THE VENDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see all this shiny-awesome furious PvP gear. And i imagine im with my shamans. Doing PvP. Owning every one's ass in AV. Riping people apart in Arenas with my partner Strickmabil. And...
I bought the boots and went to the AH to buy a 20Str Gem.

Fin.

One week later

2010-02-01T14:04:00.003Z

My Warrior dinged 80 precisely one week ago. I had the mood to level up from 74, where it was for a long time, perhaps since June, and the new LFG system was awesome to join as Prot.

Now, when a char reaches 80 a new adventure begins: collecting gear, wich, as all may know, ends up being a PITA, with all the ninjas and fail runs to HC's and wtv more.

BUT!
I had a little help from my friends, who were great and joined me for countless HC runs, still going everyday. Lost track of how many Emblems of Triumph i got, but damn, we farmed a lot!

While many argue that this ruins the game, wich in a way i agree, trash players remain trash, even with great gear or not. What i know is that i was given a chance to tune my warrior with massive gear upgrades and im doing DPS like i've never seen a warrior do. It's a "first come, first serve" playstyle that i seem to enjoy very much with the warrior and now i just can't stop playing it.

Slowly leveling some alt's, using the rested xp, and making 10mans along with HC's, that's me enjoying the game without the raid guild stress i always end up finding sooner or later.

Oh almost forgot! Nice lunch on Saturday from my good fellas over at After Hours, i love these meetings where we talk and talk about warcraft, with the lady in the back thinking we're gonna nuke something later.

The Retarded AoE'r

2010-01-26T10:36:00.003Z

Guess what? The kings here are mages, but now with WotlK almost anyone can do AoE, and be a retard along with it. Like one of my guests nicely put it on the comments box yesterday, retards are people with special needs, not warcraft players, but i beg to differ: these people do have special needs, like the need to fucking learn to play.

The most common situation while doing massive AoE is to pull aggro on loose add's, just because the tank has the duty to keep aggro. Even before the tank reaches the pack of mobs there goes the massive damage, while being stactic, and aggroing that patrol on the back of those mobs, thus, making more damage than the tank and pulling the adds to himself, and the following sentence on party char will be: WTB AGGRO FFS?

Le AoE rétárde will often post his recount meters at the end of the run, showing how much skill he has to click a shortcut and place it on the ground. Some classes don't even need to place the area of effect, cause that would complicate the class too much.

Piece of advice: Do not try to talk about how bad the person is playing, always doing aggro just because he doesn't know to play. That person will eventually tell you suck, because u can't keep up with is damage, and ur just jealous cause u can't output 2000dps at lvl40.

The retarded puller-ninja

2010-01-25T01:24:00.002Z

Most likely we're talking about a melee dps here.
It's a retard and loves to do shit, such as ninja pulling and ninja some loot. The educated version of this chap will say sorry in every sentence.
From his PoV he's doing it right, u just suck at tanking cause u don't taunt that mob he's hitting in single-target mode till it dies.

The retarded puller-ninja doesn't stops for mana breaks, that's for loosers.
If he wears plate and uses shields, start praying hard so u can get that shield u wanted from the last boss u're trying to get for months, cause he will roll, and everyone knows the retard will most likely get the loot.

Tommorow: The retarded AoE'r

Solo leveling for some boosting later?

2010-01-17T19:27:00.002Z

Yeah, i've been solo leveling. Again.
The game as it is doesn't suit for what i'm looking for with multiboxing: having fun.
Im not a guy that likes to be locked on a dungeon, doing it all alone, even if it has some interest. What i like to do is PvP, face 20 guys entering Galvangar's room and rip them apart...with the help from my friends! Those friends don't seem to have the time or will to play a game that's become more of a AoE party than anything else.

So, i'm back to some leveling, enjoying the sweet experience of growing... experience.
Well, the new LFG tool is really nice, and there's always someone trying to do instances.
For now the plan is to continue playing just for kicks. Later on i'll decide if i wanna level up the other 4 chars for each class, and if i do, i'll be boosting them with my paladin.

Just remembered that perhaps i should let a class or two for Cataclysm, and let them be Goblin Mages or something? :P By that time, we should have CPL.
CPL: Character Payed Leveling :P

Hunters and Ninjas

2010-01-14T23:02:00.004Z

Decided to lvl my warrior a bit and went tanking some dungeons with the new system.
At lvl76 HoS is a bit challenging, but when u get a fucktard hunter that the first thing he does on each pack is Multi-Shot, and for the rest he nukes a single target and kites it around, things get somewhat annoying. I taunt the target and get back to the rest of the mobs, but he just wouldn't let go the target, wich was amazing.
In the end he tells me to learn to tank, cause it's really easy. I said if it wasn't easier for him to change target and let me grab that mob he kiting around, and he says i should learn to tank. ROFL

On the last boss a Tank neck drops, the DK needs it, wins and says thanks for the party.

If there was a God, how could we be filled with morons allover the place?

5 Mage Multiboxing - 3.2 Living Bomb Edition By Illiil - World of Warcraft Movies

Dear lord...this is so...awesome :D

PvE....my head hurts..

2010-01-03T05:54:00.004Z

After much time thinking about it, i decided to jump into some PvE Multiboxing. I had the Tank, my Paladin, so i just needed to change some things on my shamans...

After a couple hours, i had everything set. This may come as a shock, but, truth is, i never boxed a PvE team, with 3 DPS, 1 tank and 1 healer. Spent 4k in Dual-Specs, built some PvE talent trees and switch a shaman to resto with his elemental gear (ohh shiii!!!tsss) and i actually managed to do a lot of normal instances, and UK HC.

Got new totems for everyone, except one shammy that really needed the badge shield.
I think i got the hang of it, the major problem is to setup multiple shortcuts to a single keystroke, which, unfortunately, i never had much courage to do, or better, patience...

The new random dungeons system is great, so i just have to queue my team up and enter the dungeon couple seconds later. I guess i'll be doing some emblems farm whenever i grow bored of PvP.

I've also been destroying things with my new teams.
Hunters...so fucking op.

And making money with honor points. Go figure...

Where are u?

2009-12-29T11:52:00.002Z

Most likely, on my Locks lvl11 or Hunters lvl15. Why so slow? My stupid country doesn't allow RAF system, and i can't afford to buy heirlooms to all those characters, which ends up on a slow ride to any level up.

The casual PvP on my shamans, gaining honor and then buying gems to sell. Made 10k recently, without even noticing :P

Thinking on leveling Priest and Mages as well. Just for fun. I know im gonna end up doing 5 of each class, and just trying to benefict from rested xp on all teams. Im a fuckin altoholic.

What about Battlegroups EU+US?

2009-12-28T23:25:00.004Z

So i could get to 2000+ rating?

Seriously, what's up with the Shaman rush, Priest doing shit in front of the main shaman ready to get nuked, and all the other retards in middle arena ready to be one shotted? lOLolololololOLololol And all this, at 2k rating. /golfclap
This doesn't happen in the Old Continent.

Update:

So now im just sure that this is mindless arena bussiness. Look for yourself. From the most resilient shaman (it's called shamanistic rage, being healed and grounding totems, fyi), to not knowing what is happening, the vid has it all, and it's only part 1 of 3, not knowing where the other 2 parts are though. Best part is in Blade's Edge, when he rez his priest, while having 3 enemies left, watching and doing nothing. The priest on the other side had time to rez a partner or interrupt the rez, but i guess they are just horrible. Oh yeah, im gonna buy american games and start leveling.

Merry Xmas

Tornado, round 2

2009-12-23T18:46:00.004Z

Been a long night, always with my heart pumping. The windows never ceased to be blown by the wind, and i had to stay awake, just in case something would break.

This was Torres Vedras (near Lisbon) yesterday, after whole Portugal got hit by very fast winds, my region is the most devastated, with winds aproaching 200km/h+, what the fuck...
Now i got news telling me this night is going to happen the same, and after sleeping 4 hours in the last couple days...jeezz...
It actually formed some sort of mini-tornado near the beach of Santa Cruz, and pretty much destroyed everything on it's way.

Anyways, got a nice visitor yesterday in town, my good friend Gibson just happened to come down here to attend a meeting, so i went to meet him and we talked for a hour about phiXion for Cataclysm.

So tonight, tornado round 2, let's hope i can grab my windows tight!

Saturday Meeting

2009-12-21T02:49:00.008Z

10 ppl went, and, like always, there's the late hour giving ups, or simply "im late for this, can't go lunch with u guys, im really sorry!"

Gohan - Physïcx
Slayer - Thánatos
Francis - Gakand
Baía - Strickmabil
Langs - Devilry
Merujo - Konnichiwa
Rossi - Issorina | Trackerpt
Blaster - Ellminster
Ji - Halfaleca | Jinho | Jii
Bug - Mandriao

And so we met up in the place where the Expo '98 took place, in Lisbon, and headed towards the restaurant to have some codfish, but what Ji wanted was a good old plate of meat. Lots of it :P So we decided to go for meat.
We talked, i tried to convince Blaster and Rossi to join the Dark Side, Slayer ran away from frightening water splashes, and Gohan even had to escape from assasin seaguls. Francis, as always, remained very calm. Bug continues to have the sexiest voice of all, while Baía has a new D'Zrt look, very greenish i may add. Langs came in handy cause i didn't had cigars :D

A few photos, the only ones i took, while im still waiting for the few that Bug took. It's hard to take pics while all we want is to have a great time togheter. Till the next one!

PS: Im not gonna identify who's in the pictures.

Friday. Again.

2009-12-18T09:54:00.003Z

Time fly's by.
Anyways, my first intention was to have a day off today, to what by boss gently replied: No can do, too much work.
I just remember the haters ingame telling me to get a life, and laugh a little bit.

Tonight i have some AV in mind, perhaps some AB cause it's that battleground weekend. I just want the day to finnish fast.

Tommorow it's a big day! 7th anniversary of Portuguese Warriors, my old America's Army clan! The meeting will be in Lisbon, with, of corse, the absence of Oporto people. Funny part is that some of the players in Gimp will be attending the lunch, so i'll have to post some photos later. It's a gathering of old members from PTwars, some of them play WoW now, and also many other friends from other clans.

bye! :)

Final Setup

2009-12-16T03:13:00.003Z

At last :D

Made up my mind and tried dual view on my main computer, using a 17" bought from my pal Strickmabil some years ago :D
Working like a charm, much better in BG's, WG and Dalaran!

from left to right
Mac - 1 client
Dual - 2 clients in dual view (17" and |24" my main|)
Quad - 2 clients on a vertical position

Till the next change!
Or not!

I'll be back

2009-12-15T11:55:00.003Z

Tonight.
For some more PvP action counting towards my 100.000 kill's achievement :P

I also want to start a Lock group. Again.

Setup change and change and change and change

2009-12-03T11:57:00.002Z

Been a manic multiboxing setup changer since this last friday.
What happened is that WotlK is much heavier than TBC, therefore, my quad core isn't handling very well the 4 clients i had on it. Soooooo......................since i'll my PC's had winXP 32 bits i changed to Win7 64bits. This was on Friday night.
Because my Keyclone email was still the ptwars one, and im having problems with the mailbox, i wasn't able to transfer my accounts until Sunday night, when Rob changed my email. On Sunday i had it rolling but.... it wasn't rolling good enough, for those moments in AV when we end up killing around 300 alliances in 20 minutes.

Sooooooo..............Monday night i decided to fix my old AMD, wich had a broken CPU due to overclocking, and then i had to buy a new one. Everything fixed and installed, ready to go, i bought another Keyclone, setup everything and...it would barely run 2 clients idling in Orgrimmar, imagine playing in AV. Final solution? Macbook Pro gets into play running 2 clients and generating enough heat to fry an egg...

So after all this, i decided to let the quad run 3 clients, the Mac handles 1 and my main pc 1. I may put another monitor and run a extra client on my main but i really didn't wanted to do that.

Thats all for now and im definitly not going to waste more time on setups in the near future.

Like ur style

Last Shaman - Faction Change

2009-11-27T17:02:00.002Z

It's official ladies and gents!
The pentagram is now possible at fuckin-last!

I had to phone during my lunch time, in order to sort something out, that should have been already solved a week ago.

The problem? The MBnet system used in my country, that let's us issue a VISA for each ammount we want to spend, made the Blizzard system detect several cards used within the same battle.net account and therefore, my account got silent-blocked.
Silent-blocked because i was able to repeat and repeat the process whenever i wanted, but it would never end up with good results.

Tonight im going to sort out more macros for the last shaman, in order to do some sick WSG's with ma friends, like yesterday: Cigarrete, Jinho, Debian, Gohan. Rofl, we had a blast :P

And so, we shall go to war!

MMORPG's Fails - Alganon

2009-11-25T11:27:00.004Z

Many of us had our share in the mmorpg's fails chapter, like trying a new mmo because it will be so good and great, or just because World of Warcraft makes u feel bored in April or September.

My fail was Age of Conan. Many friends recent fail was Aion.
Why were these games a fail? Too many damn reasons.
Why do i even bother talking about it? Because a good and viable option to World of Warcraft would steal several thousands of players from it, but i guess they just don't want to.

And don't come with the "it's a different game" bussiness, cause these two examples, and even LOTRO or Warhammer, settled their plot in the same space in time. They all have Rogues, Warriors, Paladins, whatever, only with different names.
It takes much more than a good background story and a game that makes u buy a new computer to play it, just to install WoW one week later.
All those games must have their players and fans, so no hard feelings. They all have their unique qualities, i just don't have time to pay and play as a beta tester.
Like Strickmabil said once: "those games are trying to kill the WoW of today, not the WoW of 2004" and this is so true when, in the case of AoC, they said the game was in production for 5 years, and when i played it, at earlier levels, i can say i saw less bug's on those free mmo's like Metin and shit.

Now, when it comes to fail, the biggest fail is when u find yourself on a "dejá vu" moment.

So u are playing this insane game that u pay 60€ for, plus 13€ a month, called by many the WOW KILLER, and then, out of nowhere a bar appears with several possible attacks. Then a box appears and tells u to fill out talent points on it. Swords, daggers, bow's with very familiar names and u start wondering, WTF am i doing here.

So this situation is a great fail.
But there's worse.

A Multiboxer friend at Team Skekraft wrote an entry today about one of those /wrists moments.
This guy over at Eldergoth tells us the tale of this magnificent new MMO called Alganon. Alganon...dejá...vu...

He wrotes:
The design goal behind Alganon, as far as I can tell, is "slavishly imitate WoW, and then add a couple of new features that we think would be cool." The only problem is, the imitation is of the poorest imaginable quality, and hardly any of the new features have been added.

Welcome to Westfall v-00.1

I can't imagine it's going to lead to anything other than a trainwreck though. Games like Age of Conan and Warhammer Online have demonstrated how remarkably little tolerance the gaming public has for games launching in a poor state - and both those games were in much, much better shape than Alganon.

Rofl, they even called it Alganon, doesn't it ring'a bell?

City Raiding

2009-11-24T12:46:00.003Z

Stormwind and Ironforge were our targets yesterday. We were 20 people strong, 3 boxers involved, and we were enough to cause panic amongst those trying to celebrate the Pilgim bussiness.

As always, in the heat of battle i forgot to screenshot some pics, but i think i have some from the trip to Ironforge, so i'll try to post them later.

As a side note, my Shaman is still unavailable to Faction Transfer and it's getting on my nerves.

Shaman Cataclysm

2009-11-20T16:57:00.004Z

Fancy title, attention whore.

Updates: One week after, problems with the account remain the same. I've been told to answer surveys about problems solved that i don't even know what they are about.
Blizzard support is plain horrible.

Anyways, i just concluded im gonna need to buy another machine, to run 2 WoW's, or simply tweak my current quad core in order to run 4 wow's flawlessly.
I'm not even going to mention Lagaran, thing is, even in AV, it breaks a lot and sometimes a process will simply stop. Half year ago it just didn't happened.

Oh well, since it's Friday, and i wanna be on a good mood, let me show u this beauty:

Hello, this is Blizzard support line, how may i help u?

2009-11-18T10:31:00.003Z

Hello
Give my fraking account the possibility to go Horde!

No...i didn't said that, but i did asked to discard the webform i filled saying they should hire more staff :)
Quick tip to u all, when u need to call Blizzard just install Skype and dial the country code of ur choice.

So finally things are getting solved, this afternoon billing will contact me in order to fix the mess with my account. Let's see :|

Payment issues, forever.

2009-11-17T12:35:00.003Z

Several tickets and 5 days after everything remains the same. A 11 million subscriber game must have around 10 persons working on the billing department, wich is...kinda sad actually.

Day after day i exceed the 3 payments trying to make the same process i did with the other 4 accounts. I guess everything will be sorted by the end of the mo... year.

Time for more 4box action tonight, until i can't make pentagons.

Btw, Isle of Conquest is a great battleground.
For me to poop on.

So i heard Rogues are in

2009-11-16T12:37:00.002Z

Dunno what Strickmabil has to say about this, since hes been leveling a Rogue.
I think that with enough playtime 4 Rogues in arena would 1shot a target and spam Fan Of Knives to death the others.

And again

2009-11-16T12:16:00.002Z

The 5th Shaman waits another 24 hours before he sees Orgrimmar.
After the Faction Transfer fail on Friday, and the 3 day lock placed on the char, today i tried again the payment without success. Char exceeded the 3 payment attempts and cannot be touched for another 24hours.

Fuck, its annoying. They don't even answer the mails regarding this issue.

On with the show!

2009-11-15T16:59:00.005Z

What would be boxing without enemy city raiding? Nothing.
Thats why me, woko and gorgo just went for a little visit at IF gates, along with some friends, Ji da lock, Rot da rogue, Debian da rogue and more.
Fun times :D

PS: Bigalhão went down!

Casual Boxing

2009-11-13T12:33:00.002Z

I'm not fit to sit in a chair for 4 hours straight raiding. Better, i can't do it cause my doctor said so.
Quit raiding and return to MultiBoxing again (for the 190819023th time) wasn't an easy decision. I really didn't felt like seting up everything again, invest more money on it, but...but... i couldn't resist.
This all comes more like a preparation to cataclysm than play the current content, cause i need to practice my uber senses for boxing again, oposed to what many think, it isn't just follow and assist.
It's gonna take a while before i stay in shape, and i really need to convince Strickmabil that this path will lead us to world domination on Cataclysm.
Rated BG's start to look like the best thing to come, and with the help of another 4x5toons multiboxers in AV, i think we have the odds on our side.

So yesterday i managed to transfer all my toons to GB Horde side, all but the last one, because it gave an error with the credit card, and it locked the char for the next 3 days, without chances of faction change it. So i have now 4 Konnichiwas ready for action and a ticket submited to unlock my 5th in order to join Horde side.

It was already late night when i saw my friend Jackinabox, who got really surprised and amazingly didn't had any anger stored :P
He and Clearcast were in party, he invited me and we chatted for a little bit. I may say now i belong to the "alliance cities dawn raiders", as most likely we're gonna rape IF's door sooner or later, ahaha!
He also said i was the best multiboxer he ever faced, along with Strickmabil, we gave his team hell in arenas! (ahhh pois é modafoca!)

It truly was the best thing to do at this moment. I get to meet some friends, spoke to many i ganked, play my way, anytime i want... i just need Strickmabil to start rocking in AV :D

What if

2009-11-12T11:43:00.001Z

i return to multiboxing?

Mudei-me

2009-08-24T02:10:00.000+01:00

Can't enter a dungeon to level up any of my toons or teams. When i say, i can't, i mean, never. Outside Northrend is impossible, and since im ignored all the way, here's my move.

Can't enter an instance outside Northrend. I am deeply sorry but this goes beyond all the patience i have, and thus, im gonna cancel this account.
Not a single ticket answered, not a reason why, i just may give a tip to you: invest those monthly millions instead of making profit.

Account Type: Wrath of the Lich King Account
Account Status: Canceled

Maybe another day.
Later all.

For a change.

2009-08-21T12:39:00.003+01:00

Vou escrever em português, nem toda a gente tem que ler isto.
O WoW a cada dia que passa, enterra-se mais. Fazer instances, raidar, daily quests torna-se pouco mais do que imitar um robot numa linha de montagem. Não o faço pelo gear, mas sim pelas pessoas que jogam ao meu lado, e cada vez mais vejo que, de um grupo inicial com bastante gente onde via potenciais amigos, restam aqueles que conhecia de longa data, melhor ainda, de outro jogo.

Quando não há respeito, não há confiança. Quando não há confiança não há vontade. A via que os acontecimentos tomam, nem sempre é aquela mais desejada, mas também não vejo esforço de quem poderia fazer algo mais. Existem os incansáveis, os trabalhadores, os que se estão a cagar e por último os que nem sabem o que andam a fazer. Estes dois últimos têm sido um fardo complicado de carregar, pois ao mesmo tempo, sem eles era complicado andar para a frente, com eles, por vezes ainda fica mais complicado.

O desabafo vem em sequência de uma raid que é marcada para as 21:45 e é começada às 22:30 em vez das 22. Como se isto não chegasse, mesmo a raidar com elementos a menos (limpar trash para os papões virem na segunda buscar o seu lootzinho), existiu um mass disconnect que nos fez raid off.

A paciência não é um dom, nem uma virtude, como tantas vezes a classificam. A paciência é uma poça de lama que quando lhe passam por cima ficam os sapatos todos cagados, e qualquer dia é isso que acontece.

It had to be made

2009-08-17T09:49:00.002+01:00

Since:
I promised Woko i would made a horde team.
I really wanted to make it
I had done all the daily quests
I was bored to hell (lol)

A new team arises (with high chances of leveling up)

Os meus amigos decidiram fazer algo relacionado com a minha terrinha :D AWESOME :D

Unlucky or just destiny

2009-08-12T11:08:00.004+01:00

I promised Woko i would make a boxing team horde side and all my wow folders turned to critical errors. In more than a year, i never had problems with patching, updates, whatever.
Now, arriving late at home, having to raid and completing some essential daylies gives me something like 0 time to play extra main. (some say i already play too much and i agree).

Yesterday, after what? 1 month+ wiping on YoggSaron, my guild downed him. Oh yeah, im glad we did it, but i would be even more if i didnt had to go to the airport earlier, not killing that fucking boss. People hate me so much, they are willing to spend thousands of gold just to wait for that day i can't make it to raid. Im such a no-lifer that i haven't missed a raid since February. 100% raid attendance until yesterday.

Looking forward to Northrend Lolbeasts and the other guys. Must be sooooo difficult.

And another idea in mind

2009-08-07T10:05:00.002+01:00

With the recent patch changes, one was the ability to make both Alliance and Horde chars....on the same PvP realm.
Thats right, after so many years they decided to change it because...no one knows. Oh yeah, perhaps the incoming changes, where u can change faction, tilted choices a bit.

Im also here to say in gonna try and level up a team of mages, along side with Wokomehee on hord side. Definitly Female BE Mages, and Mages why? Well, despite all the nuke produced out of it, its simply easier to move around.
Now its the time when i start thinking about how cool the Undead Male animations are, and how nice is wotf. Well, later :)

Short on time and will

2009-08-03T16:34:00.002+01:00

My Multibox is kinda dead for a week now. I always try to play it, either for PvP or level up alts but raiding is taking all my time, and i've also been doing as many daily quests i can, thing that was not even an option sometime ago.

Been grinding some quests for reputation, foods and mats to raid and that's all.
Yogg Saron is going to die, sooner or later, and every minute counts.

I tried to abandon boxing 2 times by now, and i always end up playing it again, even with the keyclone all reseted, i just config it all and play again, it's like a disease.

Im perhaps better leveling each toon individualy than having a hard time leveling all 5. I really dunno. Multiboxing lost some of it taste it had when i started.
Successful people doing it in PvP and showing the rest of us it's possible to do things in Arena, are the same that play the whole day, alternating between PvE and PvP, and i had my share of it to be wise enough to the point of admiting that everything is possible when u have the time for it. Multiboxed shamans, Gladiators, with all the little items farmed to the exaustion, ulduar totems and shields, better for PvP.

Ain't got the time for it really. But PvE is being a pain, too big to keep on with it for much longer. Theres 2 kinds of people in videogames: those who know to play, and those who know shit. Thing is, when it comes to group effort, no matter how many of u are good playing, retardness always wins.

I'll just post something from time to time, it's been almost a year since this blog was made and i kinda enjoy everything that was posted here.

Level 5

2009-07-27T11:41:00.002+01:00

Thats how far i went this weekend. I do want to continue and level them up but between guild raids, 10man, heroics, weekly molten core and onyxia, theres really not that much time available. I'll have to say that im not that excited to level up as well. It's extremly boring to level 5 different class's simultaneously but in the end it's rewarding cause the goal is to get them all on my main account :]

2009-07-25T21:34:00.002+01:00

This is kinda different from what im used to. 5 different trainers and 5 different necessities.
Im just glad theres a mage to make some waters :]

Party of 5 - Each of a kind

2009-07-24T15:50:00.002+01:00

New project (let's see how much time i stick to it, hopefuly a couple of hours)

Gonna level up a char of each class, that i currently dont have at higher level, via multiboxing.
Feral Druid: Shiftycent
Holy Priest: Calcutá
BM Hunter: Ezee & his Pet: Mode
Aff Lock: Cåpslock
Fire Mage: Frostituta

Later tonight, a pic and some uber HOGER PWNAGE!
Stay tuned!
Now i gotta get back to work and read moar loot dramah queens on ma guild!

Imagine

2009-07-23T12:38:00.002+01:00

Imagine a Druid tanking, a priest healing, a hunter dps'ing, a mage doing the same and a warlock.

Just try to picture it.

New ATX's and Format c:

2009-07-08T02:26:00.003+01:00

It's close to an end. Because i was too lazy, im missing my PC to multibox with, still in the living room, waiting to be mounted in the new box.

There were two main reasons to change box's: cleanup the dust and change for less weight and size. My old thermaltake must weight more than 25kg and the aerocool wasn't so heavy but still, needed to change cause of some missing pieces to attach more hdd's.
Hmm, i was kinda tired of the box's as well ^^

Tommorow seems a good day to start leveling those damn warlocks :)
...after another format c: -_-

Starting to be afraid

2009-07-04T17:57:00.003+01:00

Without my partner to PvP, im turning into a pansie

Faction change

2009-06-30T16:50:00.002+01:00

All of a sudden, old wishes become true, and i wonder, is this the end of the line?

Well, thruth is, we're only missing now a new hero race, such as Murloc's, who knows, but despite WoW being constantly threatened by other MMO's, i really dunno if all these changes aren't too many to apply at this time.

There's plenty to do now, and to think of, but Blizzard just keeps pumping more info, more options, more and more.

So, if u don't know yet, there's already plans to let people do cross faction transfers. In a world where things are planned according to the lore, every now and then Blizzard just injects in the book whatever they want the most, preferably something that brings another load of cash.

So heres the list:
Character Name Change
Character Customization aka Sex Change
Character Faction Change

Let me add some more:
Character Class Change
Character Race Change within the Faction (Gnome Paladins, Priests and Human Hunter's...)
Character Cloning - give ur family and friends a brand high lvl

And by the end of next year, the next gen mmo is out, and we just have to buy it. Perhaps even an option of "if u played wow, exchange his gold for our new coin" or "if u played wow, bring ur char"

U know what? Bring it on, i like changes.

No more XP

2009-06-29T17:40:00.002+01:00

Ever wanted to make a draenei shaman and stick with it at 60 for PvP, or a night elf huntress to raid endlessly the classic dungeons, while having at the same time a lvl80, on the same account?

Until now, u couldn't twink lvl60 or 70 unless u didn't had the next x-pack, but now, after years of request, a simple feature will change the life of many, and let me dare to say that many more will adopt this new feature.
Farm that Van Cleef sword, and the full Defias Set without caring about XP gains. Whatever suits u!
But my favourite, and im tottaly in for it, is level a group of 4 and pimp it up with the max gear available in vanilla content. Priest's or Hunter's would be hot, much cause of those MC epics (legendary in the feeling)

For every mistake blizzard makes, they inject something that is wished, and thats why WoW can't be killed :P

Power of Alt's

2009-06-29T11:49:00.004+01:00

Theres two things i have in mind: PvE with my Tankadin and PvP with my Shamans.
But everyone gets bored of playing the same game over and over again, specialy when ur PvP buddy forgets his authentication token and is unable to play for the whole weekend...

So, without arenas to do, bored of AV ownage and close to puke everytime i have to tank with my paladin, the opportunity came: "let's go do an instance with our alts, merujo wanna come?"
"oh, we need a tank." -_-
Go go Lvsitana Prot, and i must admit that i enjoyed tanking, it's so different from the Paladin where u have so little buttons to press, and a retarded rotation to keep up. Made a couple of runs but things started to go PvP side so... Peekabøø came into play. We started ganking inside a Horde village but we needed more power, so my Shammies also came. After that we went to another horde town and the gank extreme was great, the best way to spend a sunday afternoon.

Another Sunday, another Ulduar Raid, another Raid Off. WTH!
Al'righty then! Peekabøø let's go UK and Nexus! Good times, i really had fun playing a bit on my alts this weekend :)

But what about my other alt's? Multiboxed alt's? Well, i quit the idea a while ago, i was even considering canceling all my accounts but i just can't loose the fun of multibox several classes. Perhaps next weekend i'll grab a group or two, meanwhile i'll just watch crazy setups, like JoeWunsch has. 5 boxed mages with Mirror Image, that pretty much makes a guy go crazy inside an arena :D

I can't stop thinking about leveling another group of 4 to PvP with, perhaps even some kind of twink multiboxing :D

Horde Boxers

2009-06-26T18:41:00.003+01:00

They are never too much :)
I love world PvP, and visiting Orgrimmar was a weekly thing back in the TBC days.
I need to start doing it, and get some practice.
Why? I just read this on a sig at the Dual-Boxing Forums:

Playing: Totemuc, Totemoc, Totemec and Totamic on Jaedenar EU Going to transfer to Grim'Batol EU soon. It will be the new home for the horde EU multiboxers. Feel free to come!

Well, i'd be more than glad to face 5 boxers at the same time in WG. Bring it on :D Unfortunnetly i dont have much help on my side. The last active boxer quit, and Soares has returned, he's leveling but... he never answer's whispers.

As for Konnichiwa path for Arena ownage, there might be a light in the end of the tunnel. Let's see :)

U know ur fucked when...

2009-06-25T10:41:00.003+01:00

After the first arena, teams realize that instead of CC'ing, it's just faster to cleave the whole shit.
This is my Arena story. I really don't know what to do when my HP drops from 100% to 20% in 3 seconds. On 4 chars at the same time.

My gear can excuse a bit of low burst dmg, but not totaly the ammount of damage taken that simply kills me in a matter os seconds. I could even have an extra healer, but i doubt it could be handled.
I was used to loose back in TBC, when we were learning the basics, but it wasn't this bad. Now, we can't even take out some clues about what to do better, because, u can't do nothing at all. It's the Arcane Torrent and Warstomp racials fucking us every single time, and worst of all, heavy melee teams.

Out of 11 arenas, i think 5 were in Lordaeron. Can i get another one more often?

And now their adding 2 more tombs to the place, perhaps it's a test agains't retards, to see if they manage to get to the other side without crashing into one.
Anyways, as it stands, we'll prolly reach 1300rating winning 30% of the games, wich is great. Bring the resilience buff and we'll see.

For now, i'll just farm some more gear, because in the end, owning AV it's all what this is about.
PS: Strickmabil, éspérô qué náõ tánhás dórmìdó mál, cõm pésàdélós e ássím.

PvP Changes in the future patch 3.2

2009-06-23T11:01:00.002+01:00

Arenas
o The newest season of Arena gear can only be purchased if you meet the requirements with your 3 or 5 player team rating. Rating requirements from 2 player teams can still be used to purchase the previous season of gear.
Two years later blizzard realized that, the 2v2 bracket was way too unbalanced to award the exact same type of rewards as those in 3's and 5's. This brings me the ultimate question: do they even play the game they do?
People complain about multiboxers all the time, but reroling a DK or Pala for sheer retarded action and grab the best available PvP gear there is, it's completly normal. Now shove the icy touch up your ass. U may was well want to be reminded of other 2's combos back in TBC that geared up to smash everything in 5's. "Im gonna roll a druid, cause it's fun".

o Dalaran Sewers
+ The entire Arena has increased in size by 25%.
+ Mounts can now be used in this Arena.
+ The position and collision of the crates on the central platform has been modified.
I always thought u couldn't mount here because the mounts wouldnt grip in the dirtyness. Now i don't know why we were never able to mount there. Other than that, it was already a bad arena, i don't know what 25% more size will do, and i hope they dont put more collision crates, otherwise the hunters will choke with retardness.

o Ruins of Lordaeron
+ Alcoves have been removed from the starting chambers.
+ Two line-of-sight tombstones have been added to the slime pool on the southern side of the map.
+ The collision around the central tomb has been smoothed out to prevent players from becoming stuck on the terrain as often.
Well, i guess alcoves refers to the stairs on each starting area. What i dont know is, why this change after so many time. The tombstone addictions seems like someone at blizzard got tired of kitting around the same tombstone, so they added more. I think they could add a labyrinth arena where people would just die in LOS before they even watch the opponent. What amuses me the most is getting rushed and aoe to death in 5v5, and blizzard adds 2 tombstones to ruin of lordaeron.

Battlegrounds
o When standing at a capture point that you control, you will gain a buff called Honorable Defender. This buff grants +50% honor gained from kills. This currently affects Arathi Basin, Eye of the Storm and Isle of Conquest.
Ok hmmmm.... so.... i'll have to wait to see but, since im constantly attacking in AB and EotS, i dunno. Have to wait for IoC to see if we get a good camping spot :P

o Arathi Basin
+ The time it requires to capture a base has been reduced to 8 seconds, down from 10 seconds.
+ The game now ends when one team reaches 1600 victory points, down from 2000.
Well, with the introduction of a new BG, they needed to make older ones more apealing, so i guess it's an ok change.

o Eye of the Storm
+ The time it requires to capture the center flag has been reduced to 8 seconds, down from 10 seconds
+ The game now ends when one team reaches 1600 victory points, down from 2000.
Once again, the change on the victory points is nice. imo.

o Strand of the Ancients
+ The faction starting on attack/defense will now be randomized at the start of each match.
Thank You for making something that should be done since the beggining.

o Warsong Gulch
+ There is a now a 20 minute timer on this battleground. After that time, the team with the most flag captures wins. If this would result in a tie, the team that captured the first flag wins. If neither side has captured a flag, then the game ends in a tie.
Finally someone used their brains, or actually played a WSG to understand some could reach a hour of duration, or even more.

Many multiboxers see in this next patch a new oportunity to start and to do something with PvP, myself included. I consider that the main problem is AoE. Particularly the melee one. Bladestorm with 1.5minutes CD is close to a level of retardation never seen before. Divine Storm is too strong on a well geared pala, and the worst of all, imo, is FoK, spreading poison allover and dealing damage. PvP became a shadow of what it was, where top PvE geared ppl seem to smash those that make PvP their choice. It's like being a football player and getting beaten by a rugby one.
I hope that the resilience change compensates the burst of those in PvE gear, otherwise Arenas will become a grind place to get that weapon that only drops on Vezax Heroic mode, Algalon or wtv.

1 keystroke, 4 totems

2009-06-18T10:48:00.002+01:00

The moment many have waited may be just a patch away. A new way for totems to aid their summoners is in the works, an improved method of bringing up those totems.

It's been stated oficialy, and this is the current state of things:

We wanted to provide some insight regarding the upcoming shaman-specific interface addition, the Totem Bar. Shaman will be able to utilize this new bar to manage their fire, earth, water, and air totems in a more accessible and convenient way. This bar will appear on the left-hand side above the standard toolbar, similar to warrior stances or druid forms. The bar contains space for four totems of the player’s choice, one of each element. Clicking the respective button will drop that totem.

To the right of the four totems is a button for Totemic Call, which we have renamed Call of Earth. To the left of the four totems is a new ability named Call of Fire which will drop all four totems on the bar at once. The mana cost is the same as if the shaman dropped all four of the totems one at a time. However, it takes but a single global cooldown.

Ok so...this is great. 1click, 1GCD, 4 totems. My only question is: what if u dont have enough mana to drop all 4? My guess is that, it will drop by order until ur oom.

The Beggining

2009-06-17T12:57:00.002+01:00

10 days later and, besides not having much time, i just couldn't help myself, watching to my left side and see the pc off. I had to start again, and this time with only 4 shamans (only!). Because it works better, not having to bother with that extra shaman that stays behing in rating, switch between arenas, and finally i can party with a friend and go av.

I dunno, i just couldn't let all this work go to waste. Multiboxing is much more than sync'd attacks. It's a game inside the game.

The End

2009-06-05T11:25:00.002+01:00

I've been delaying this decision for a while, because i truly like to box. It's something different, that makes me more than just another sheep online, but i can't continue it anymore.

There's many boxers out there, that raid PvE content, multibox arenas and instances, all at the same time, but i can't afford to do that, not while having a full time job, wich, i always did even before playing WoW, but i think now is the time to stop.

I have a place in a guild, a role to play and that is enough at this time. Paying 5 accounts to solo instances at the weekend is useless at this moment, and contrary to common belief, it's faster to raise a solo char to 80 than a boxed group. I will, however, continue to level my chars.

Dunno if i'll return at multiboxing someday, but this blog stays as a proof of having a real good time doing it. MB is fun, specially when u can devote some time to it, and u get to play another game inside the game. It was a great experience, and i feel a little sad in a way, after all that time invested in all my chars, we're talking about thousands of gold, mostly in professions, but i have to say i don't regret having started it nor putting an end on it.

I want to send a huge thanks to all that visited this blog and always chat with me online, people that saw more than 5 chars doing simultaneous attacks, those that are smart enough to realize how much skill u need to constantly keep those chars rolling. To the top guilds on Grim Batol with whom i always had some sort of contact and gave me grats for managing to do what i did. To all my friends, some of them long time friends, that adapted to this strange kind of gameplay and had a blast with me doing simple things, such as frying a horde. To all those unknown people that knew what i was doing and were always good about.
And specially to the multiboxing community, a wonderful group of people that are very kind, simply amazing.

A special thanks to Strickmabil aka Baía, without whom, this project would have never been the same.

Peace and stay well :)

Konnichiwa goes Enhancement

2009-06-01T10:47:00.002+01:00

I ended up trying something i delayed for so long: put my main shaman with enhancement spec.

It's something i should have done earlier, because the combat speed is just awesome, combined with instant cast's provided by stacking Maelstorm Weapon, this spec is awesome to do PvE with, at least i totally dig it.

It's been a week of gearing up, and i managed to grab a lot of items to fill up some major gaps (elemental items), but i still need to replace my neck.

As the multiboxing adventure seems to fade away, i really don't find much amusement on it rather than going AV and change the tide. In TBC i was able to box instances, get access to a whole variety of items, and now? Can't box an heroic, if im going to box a raid, im just gimping it, and with Wintergrasp, the server lags so much that is impossible to try and have a good time.

Multiboxing is fun, is different and specially is a new game inside the game, but at the moment it simply doesn't fit my plans. I'd rather raid with my paladin along with some friends, gear up the shaman and be a good enhancement, and level up some alts.

Still, the pleasure of completly wreck the horde in AV is, and always will be, priceless.

Mimiron Vid

2009-05-27T13:57:00.001+01:00

And here it is

Mimiron down

2009-05-26T11:05:00.005+01:00

After some major effort, and downing him in 10man, my guild killed Mimiron last night in the 25man version. It's a great fight, that puts into play more than the usual tank&spank and little things to do.

In this fight awareness is everything, and if someone screws a bit, most likely, it's a wipe.

Theres only one thing that bothers me in this fight, and its the fact that, in phase 4, Arcane Barrage is casted and the bottom vehicle still runs around, what sometimes can cause the tank to die if he can't position the boss correctly. Other than that, its all about eyes and ears.

I frapsed the fight and already made the movie, bad thing is, i rendered it wrong, ending with a size of 700mb's. Anyways, im uploading it and already making another render with a little less quality, im aiming for the 500mb's.

It's General Evax time and mana starvation is already bothering me.

Flame Leviathan - 10boxed

2009-05-21T12:10:00.001+01:00

Mad props to Theradin for doing it

How to: Freya in 3 faceroll try's

2009-05-19T16:51:00.002+01:00

Gather 25 monkeys
Clear the mobs (note: theres a lot of mobs, and u'll die more than on the boss itself due to retarded CC trys)
Clear the keepers (bigger mobs than the rest, they are tree's. carefull with the ones to the right, they hit hard)

Engage Freya and kill everything u see, including some tree's that spawn. Stupid thing sometimes is that u have to kill some mobs all at the same time, making things incredibly difficult.
We did it at the 3rd try, but my face was starting to bleed.

On to the serious bussiness (i love this expression)
Boxing groups leveling up, starting to feel the power BUT! right now! i've been helping my dear friend Gibsonz with some heroics, along with the old school brigade. He desperately needs loot so he can double up hes damage and make the mages cry, since, in T6, he can equal them already.

Sunday. Baron Geddon. No Binding.

Forgot to mention, Thorim went down as well. Seems like we needed a seriousbussiness talent from our seriousbussiness rogues, so that the Thorim encounter could feel less seriousbussiness. Down at the 3rd try. It's seriousbiz when other class's have to tell our seriousbiz rogues what spec is more seriousbiz on a certain boss.

Mimiron, or like some call it on my guild, Mirmirone, we're on our way!

To wipe!

ON WITH THE SHOW!

Locks and Hunters

2009-05-15T15:53:00.004+01:00

Locks and Huntarrdssssss are just awesome. I can't stop playing them everyday before the raid, it's just too awesome to not do it. Hunter's are incredibly OP at low level and clearing deadmines is as easy as wipe at ulduar with batatoons. (priv joke obviously)

With the locks, im really looking forward to lvl31 (gibson corrected me from my last post, where i said lvl30) cause thats when siphon life comes into play. Hope its OP and with a little bit of FotM mixed to make an explosive combination.
[homer]Felguuuuuuuuuuuuaaaardddddddddds.......
Siphon laiiiiifffffeeeeeeeeee.......
hmmmmmmmmmmm.......[/homer]

Im making a new video this weekend, something for the portuguese wow players, wich is basicaly a work of how and why i multibox.

Cya soon, baibai!

Accounts payed and some PvP action

2009-05-12T16:52:00.002+01:00

Friday night decided to pay my accounts and get some action. Took some time to bind everything again on my shamans, and work on the talents, but in the end it turned out ok. Im surprised by how much damage i still manage in PvP, and the EM change was a godsend. In the end, i dont think it's enough to battle to the top, but the time will come.

AV is messy, with leaders not being able to organize groups, im limited on my grounding totems, wich is kinda gay. Thats all i did this weekend, some AV's for fun, and a new Battlemaster's trinket along with the LagGrasp one, with the same use of the PvP trinket, but without resil.

End result was 111*2 SP added to each of my shamans, wich is great. 9k+ Lava Burst's on flame shocked targets.

Also had some time to play on my alt's, Hunter's and Lock's are my favourites. Was forced to respec to Demonology, since i can't stay alive inside DM that much time. With the Hunter's, it's another game, but Gibson promised me that at lvl20 with Siphon Life on my locks, i may get another taste of the lock imbaness.

Thats all and welcome back Gi-Gi, just play with moderation :D

Windseeker !

2009-05-04T12:48:00.002+01:00

Hi all
Instead of paying my accounts and pwn some newbs in av, i just went solo. Again.

Sorry if the blog is turning out a story of a solo char, instead of a multiboxer but...
Blog is mine, capiche? :D

Thursday late night, and decided to venture into MC (again!!), since some ppl want rep, others want old fashioned loot, and others just want fun. I for one, want my damn bindings.

Full clear in MC, and when Garr died, as soon as i click the loot and saw Bindings of the Windseeker i just screamed like a little girl, ROFL!

Left Binding comes from Baron Geddon, and ofc it wasn't going to drop.
And it didn't.

But boy, i finnaly got one Binding after all this time. I've never saw it drop in vanilla, and only recently have been killing both boss's in hopes of seeing it drop.
Already have 8 Elementium Bars stashed, lacking 2. Call me whatever u want but...TF is "the sword".

Well, it's a 3% drop rate, and im looking forward to meet mistar Geddon this week :D

I promise to make a video if i manage to get the second binding ^^

10k visits inc!!!!!

2009-04-30T17:34:00.002+01:00

OMG 10k visits to a lammer blogz! look at that!

Well, unfortunetly there ain't much to look at, or read, since my multiboxing is kinda dead at the moment. I may end up paying the accounts today, and have some fun with my alt groups, and eventualy ending up filling the talent points on the shamans, doing some macros and test them out.

My partner seems to have no mood for arenas, but perhaps we can work something out.

Recently some boxers have left for EQ, other are starting in EvE, but i'll just stick around with my friends and do some PvE content in Ulduar, that despite the nerfs and how slow the raiding sometime gets in our guild, i still enjoy a lot.

Farewell :D

Ulduar, Raiding, Wipes

2009-04-22T10:57:00.005+01:00

Its been a mad week in Ulduar, full of win, fail, tears and smiles.
Our guild has managed to kill Flame (oooomyyyy) and Razorscale, after 2 days of try's and even 10seconds after the enrage.
Deconstructor reveals to be the pain in the ass of many low DPS guilds, such as ours, sadly. We haven't managed to down him yet, after 3 days of try's, with the main reason being the lack of DPS.

Theres some sort of explanation behind this, and i find it in the easy content that we have farmed.
With the exception of S3D, and some achievements, such as Malygos 6 minutes, everything else is like auto-attack mode, and that didn't prepared us well enough for Ulduar. Now, we find ourselves struggling to make players to do some research on their class, and at the same time try to raise their DPS. It's just that 4k DPS was achieved long ago in TBC raiding, and some ppl only produce around those numbers.

I find it a very hard switch for some players, most of them used to a certain way of making DPS, and now forced to learn something that works better.

Lack of DPS and Raiding aside, i haven't payed my accounts so far. Its just that i can't find much more to do with multiboxing than leveling groups for fun and pwning in PvP. Let's see how other boxers deal with the new changes and if the elemental shaman can do something besides dying in arenas.

Well, i'll leave u two vids i've done recently (watch in HD ofc). Thx for visiting, cya around :)

New patch and what do to?

2009-04-13T12:35:00.003+01:00

Next patch is just around the corner. As many millions, i've been waiting patiently for some of the most wanted changes, like Dual Spec.
It costs a one time payment of 1k gold but, its worth it when u're a tank or healer, and wanna kick around outside raids, with those amazing off-spec loots u just got.

Many other changes were made, specially to shamans, which im looking forward to re-play a lot in PvP. It's been a long time since i felt unstoppable in AV, not that i can't do it in the present, but, u never know when 3 Arms warriors start bladestorming around u, with 2 rogues spamming FoK.

People actually still complain about multiboxing, when they have no idea how many PvP boxers have given up, or how easy is to kill some multiboxed shamans. It always comes down to solo frustration, where one player whines because a guy, controlling more toons at once, killed him.

It reminds me the story of an alliance warlock, that, while defending the stables in AB, had no chance against 3 opponents. He said something like: "i did a deathcoil, sent my pet to other, and feared the third one while dotting him up. I managed to kill one, but the other just got his HP to half, and they killed me. warlocks need more survability" - rofl

Back on topic. Well, im not much of a "gief moar content" guy, im more like "fix the fuking game, specially arenas, since u had such a sad idea of introducing AoE to everyone and knockback effects, and wtv".

I want the next patch to play in Ulduar, and get some challenging raid, like S3D. I want it for the Dual Spec, so perhaps i can have even more fun in PvE content, when i dont have to off tank, and therefore, i can go retri. I want the next patch to see how powerful the shamans can get and how balanced the other classes become. And thats about it.

Multi-altaholic

2009-04-06T16:12:00.003+01:00

Thats me, without nothing else to do, and the lack of guildies on S3D day (on KT day, everyone's online) doesn't help much to fill my time.

So i came up with the idea, of carrying on with my alt teams, to infinite and beyond.

5xHunters - 22
5xLocks - 18
5xMages - 16
5xPriests - 12
5xDruids - 12
5xDK - 61

Well, by the end of 2020 i should have all leveled, but until then, let me have a good time with them. It's lots of fun, to sit and watch the power of 5 gnomes doing AE, or 5 hunters doing multi-shots and raping everything.

I'll follow my own instance grind technique, along with combined rested XP in each team.

But this is just a way to kill some time, while the next patch is about to come out. I expect the shamans to get uber at PvP, but if not, well, im going to dedicate to level up some alts, while attempting Ulduar with my guild, as long as there's ppl online to do such.

3.1 Elemental Shaman Changes. WOTLK 3.1 PTR PvP

2009-03-25T18:49:00.001Z

Raid Off

2009-03-23T16:11:00.003Z

After some arenas, we made a break and prepared to raid and kill S3D, but unfortunately we didn't had a full group, so it was raid off.

Very well then, let's do some more arenas, since we all were in the mood.

11 matches later we had won 10 and lost 1, now sitting at 1676 rating.

This Week - 43 Games | 32 wins - 11 losses | 74% win

Also a small update: we were ranked 655th, and now we are 178th :D

Let's play more!

Time to change and expect more

2009-03-22T20:44:00.002Z

Last week it was a week to forget. Never done so bad in arenas, loosing 12 in 12 matches, against all kinds of combos, and geared players and omfg, i wanna erase it from my mind. Dunno what happened, it was simply impossible, as Strickmabil would die in a matter of seconds, and try to heal him, not dps'ing, and eventualy end on taking damage myself was the most dificult time so far.

Something had to be done. Disc Priest is not what it used to be, neither are shamans, and we both felt like we needed a hand on arenas. Physicx was the answer to our problems so far, and so we turned the tide, ending with a 22-10 score for this week. Hes a long time mate of us, even from another game, and hes doing great atm in the 2v2 and 3v3 brackets. He decided to take the invite and i think hes somewhat enjoying our arenas.

We're excited about the results so far, and we even took a lot of whispers this afternoon while playing, that made us laugh and enjoy it. We also made an achievement, winning 10 ranked arena matches in row, not that bad for scrubs.

Will we turn into some crazy cookie cutter setup?
Only time can tell :P

Please, make it fast

The longer it takes to install the new patch, the more we get owned in arena. Something that never happened before became true yesterday: can't win a single arena match for the weekly arena points.

It's gear, combined with the oposing zerg, combined with how weak the priest and shamans are atm. Multiboxing is nothing compared to any team who has average skills. It's pathetic to watch defensive specs being played on arena with the sole purpose of surviving, while the other just nuke at will. Several spells/attacks are non-sonse on todays arenas.

It lacks strategy, mostly on low ratings. It's a rush and destroy game, with arenas not taking more than 3 minutes to end, where 1 minute is burn before the gate opens. The damage is so far more powerful than the healing that is makes me believe some blizzard employees have nothing but shit in their heads.

All in all it just amuses me that, there's still people complaining bout multiboxing in PvP. They trully don't play shit at this game.

Makes me think that, even with all the nerfs and boosts on next patch, we wont be able to counter a team with 2 DK's or 2 Hunter's, rogues spamming aoe attacks, etc, etc. PvP is slowly comming to an end in WoW, and i must start considering other boxing MMO's.

3.1, the patch of ownage

People make often the same mistake, by thinking that a boxer is only good with extreme easy classes and ofc, OP'd.
Nah, a boxer is good when he can turn around the odds of battle, when he manages to look good to the rest of the server, or has been told by top arena players that he has superb control of his chars (and a good healing partner). It's not all about instant casts, even if that's our best weapon.

Since WotlK came out, the Shaman pretty much stayed in the shadow of what it used to be. The only great arena spec was restoration, getting to 2k rating with some dps classes has been a easy ride. But not for elemental. A knockback didnt pulled out whatever dev's had in mind. A 100% crit spell, after consuming a dot isn't working as well so, changes have been made for 3.1 patch.

Shaman (Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.)

Mana Spring Totem: This totem has been redesigned. It now provides the same mana benefit as Blessing of Wisdom to the entire party or raid, but is exclusive with that effect.

Elemental

Elemental Mastery redesigned: When activated, your next Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning or Lava Burst spell becomes an instant cast spell. In addition, your Fire, Frost and Nature damage spells have a 15% increased critical strike chance for 15 seconds. Elemental Mastery now shares a cooldown with Nature’s Swiftness.
Elemental Reach: Now also increases the range of your Flame Shock spell by 5/10/15 yards.
Lava Flows: No longer increases the range of your Flame Shock spell, but now increases your casting speed by 10/20/30% when your Flame Shock spell is dispelled for 6 seconds.
Lightning Overload: Reduced to 3 points (7/14/20%), down from 5.
Storm, Earth and Fire: No longer increases the range of your Earth Shock or Wind Shock spells, but now also causes your Earthbind Totem to have a 33/66/100% chance to root all nearby enemies for 5 seconds when initially cast.
Thunderstorm can now be cast while stunned.

Do i need to write anything?
Old times are back with instant casts, and so much more has been added.

All i can say is that, maybe, just maybe, now i won't get steamrolled. I can instagib who i want in a matter of seconds, so let's so who will be laughing more from now on :)

The Discipline Priest has been given some great spells as well, this means my good friend Baía aka Strickmabil will surely do a hell of a job with me :D

Also, small updates on my setup.

Added a 24" to my main, and switch my old 22" to my followers :)

Well, working on some WG Marks atm, as well as some honor. Im expecting a lot of good things from next season.
