Well this will probably be my last post until nexts Mon or Tues as I will be headed out of state to visit my Grandparents for the weekend. Im am very excited as I have not seen them in almost 4 years and my GF who I have been with for 2 has still not met them. They are like my parents and it sucks that they moved away :(.
On a WoW note, I did some more Arena this week with my lock and it did not go quite as well. We went 8-10, but we are still running into teams with Vengeful weapons and shoulders. We faced a full Vengeful Shatter combo and came very close to beating them. I somehow managed to kill the rogue before the mage pasted me, but my Ret pally partner could not finish off the Mage. We only lost 5 rating for that loss so Im guessing that we would have gained around 25-30 had we won.
I think this team will end up with a fairly high rating, but I am hoping that last seasons 2000 rated teams will be out of my bracket soon. We do win some against them, but it cam be very difficult at times.

Weekend Update
Well, I want at work yesterday so I did not get a chance to update my blog. Did kara as usual over the weekend, but brought my Hunter this week. We cleared it in about 2.5 hours minus Nightbane (nobody had the damn urn). I was wearing mostly blues, with two epics and 2-3 greens and finished 2nd in damage. I only got a pair of bracers, but I figure in the coming weeks I will get alot more.
I also switched my pvp focus to my Warlock and had much greater success than with my warrior. Im at around 300 resilience, with 12k hitpoints, and 1200 shadow damage. Yay for dots. I teamed up with my usual Ret pally 2v2 partner and we went 8-2 and I got my personal rating to 1586 (im gonna try to pick up the season 4 bracers this week). Next in my sites is the season 4 chest (although it will be replacing a vengeful chest, but all of my main pieces are vengeful beside the shoulders.)
I am just not that great at arena with a melee class. There are too many ways for my Warrior to get slowed and or CCed and not alot I can do about it. On my Warlock I can run around and fling dots with wreckless abandon and drain the crap out of the when they arent paying attention.

Nothing Much
Didnt do a whole lot yesterday. I leveled my neglected Druid toon from 6-9. They are such a pain at this level. I have to drink pretty much after every pull. Then I farmed a bit on my pally and did the fishing daily on my warrior. For some reason I want much in the mood to play yesterday. I couldnt bring myself to do BGs and I was late to the raid so I didnt go. Unfortunately with my GF finishing school, my Raiding is going down the tubes. Ill be lucky if I can go once a week.

OMFG I HATE U ARENA
So as the title explains I did some arena last night with my Warrior and Mura the Ret pally. I get so annoyed at all of the counter balance teams. I was only a few wins from getting my season 4 chest but the matchups had other ideas. We went from 1576 to 1511. We kept seeing the same kind of teams. Warrior/Druid, Warrior/Pally, Hunter/Druid, Mage/Anything. One of the biggest problems was us being melee and seeing so many damn Mages.......not just mages, but mages wearing the season 3 shoulders. Isnt it about time for you guys to GTFO of my bracket. Admittedly Im not the greatest PVPer of all time, but 2v2 is completly ridiculous. Perhaps I should look more towards 3v3.

Did not play WoW yesterday.....
So this is going to be a non WoW related blog today. Instead of raiding yesterday, I went with my GF, my best friend, and his GF to the Giants game in San Francisco. San Fran is such and interesting city.....its too bad that driving there is going to give me a brain anneurysm some day. We got there early and headed over the 21st Amendment (a small brewery/restraunt) to have some good beer and food. This was my first time eating there and I must say that the burgers are top of the line.
The beer there is outstanding and different as well. My GF had the pilsner to start and I had the Watermelon beer. Then we both got the Pomegranate Cider which is just awesome. We had the waitress take a group picture of us and I managed to knock over my GF's cider all over the table. Somehow I was luck enough that it didnt get on anybody.
Then we headed over to the ballpark. Anybody who hasnt been there should go. Even if you arent much of a baseball fan you will love ATT park. My friend's GF could not stand watching baseball on television but absolutely loved the game. To top it all off, the Giants won and my GF's favorite player Benji Molina hit two home runs. Then I got to enjoy the fun of driving home. It took longer than usual thanks to stupid road construction (aka Caltrans standing around and doing nothing). I got home at about 1215 AM and had to be to work this morning at 6. Yay for less than 5 hours of sleep. I suppose that it is a good thing I am used to small amounts of sleep as I can still function at a normal level.

PVP
Most of the time I like to PVP on my warrior (assuming i specced him for pvp otherwise it sucks). Yesterday I took him into WSG to get the last badges I need to get my season 4 bracers. Believe it or not, Alliance actually won some! As a matter of fact we went 3-3 in the games that I did. That is much better that the blowouts I had become accustomed to. In every one I was top 2 in damage done and killing blows, but most importantly I captured several flags and killed flag carriers a number of times to return our own. The only bad thing about WSG is that you get a relatively puny amount of honor for doing it. Once I get my 20 marks I will probably be hitting AV because 600 honor is better that 200 honor any day.

Weekend Happenings
Well, a decent ammount happened over the weekend. I did my weekly Kara run of course and stocked up on some more badges. I also got my Hunter from 67-69. Hopefully I can get him to 70 by this weekend so I can be drug thru kara for some phat lootz. Our Guild also hit black temple this weekend. We downed Najentus, but apparently had a bit of trouble with Supremus, though I think it wont be much longer before he follows.
I spent much of last night doing some of my first real arena matches of the season. I started a new 2v2 with my Warrior, specced MS, and joined forces with my buddy and Ret pally Muralyon. We ended the evening at 1576 and I got my Brutal Gladiators Leggings. I think im gonna farm some honor today and try to get my season 4 bracers. Next week I should have the rating as well as the arena points to pick up my Season 4 chest. The only thing I really regret about my Warrior is that I picked up the Axe way back in the day instead of the Sword or Mace.
On a side note, one of the more progressed guilds Alliance side on our server is folding. It seems that a lot of people got tired of too much time spent raiding. I have a feeling that we may be getting a few of those players due to the fact that our raiding schedule isnt nearly as grueling as many of the others.
Our guild has some amazing players for what they do. We have an abundance of awesome tanks and healers, and our pew pew is starting to catch up as well (still a few laggers). The biggest problem we seem to have is individual people having a brain fart at bad moments. I would imagine that this is the case will all guilds, but it seems that sometimes people are severly lacking focus....like when the main tank goes down on Kaz'Rogal like 30 seconds into the fight.
