The site has been neglected. And I feel bad about it. I am playing WoW as much as I have before yet I haven’t made a post in . . . . too long. So my new belated New year’s Resolution for my site is to get my posting frequency back to at least a few times a week. There is new content, new gear, new Arena seasons and plenty of other exciting stuff to cover. I am going to make sure that QQ gets back into the swing of things.
So to start off, let’s get reacquainted. I am currently not in a raiding guild. But that hasn’t stopped me from picking up some new loot. Not in the slightest. So let’s employ the awesome new Armory features to show off how sexy I can be!
And the Hunter isn’t the only guy gearing up! My Death Knight has 40,000 HP unbuffed in his tank gear. A new cloak is incoming this week from Frost badges. My Warrior has become a heroic all-star and is dual wielding Tyrannical Beheaders, rocking both Triumph rings, off-set 245 helm and shoulders, and even some other odds and ends. I also got myself over 31,000 gold. And that feels nice.
I haven’t been able to replace my Hunter’s trinkets yet, as I consistently lose rolls on Death’s Choice, and anything else that ever drops. But alas, what can you do? The Scourge Strike nerf hurt my Death Knight’s 2v2 viability pretty significantly but myself and Freshmaker are now eagerly looking for a Shaman to join us for 3v3 with my Hunter rather than focusing on my Death Knight again.
What also is interesting is how much my battlegroup hates my server (Illidan) and Cho’gall, as evidence by this thread. I’ll give it one thing, my server has a large number of idiots, trolls, and ninjas. But that is to be expected when you have a server that has high a population as Illidan. But our PUG scene is more progressed than some servers raiding guilds. As you can see here Illidan is doing alright. But its probably not as happy for you if you are Alliance, as current estimates show Horde being up 2:1, we control WG at least 75% of the time, among other things.
While my PUGs as of late have had a somewhat rough time on Rotface (mainly due to off-tanks who have never had to kite in their life) I foresee that trend changing soon. At least I would like to hope so. 2% was our best attempt so far. A frustrating wipe to say the least.
While work is still a challenge, I am currently teaching part time at a local community college which I enjoy quite a bit, but unfortunately doesn’t pay enough to be my only job. I also started developing my own WordPress theme which you can check out here. Still very much a work in progress (view in Firefox if at all possible).
So expect more posts, more videos, and generally me being back as posting as frequent as I can. And as always, thoughts, comments, etc. Post ‘em!
WOOT! happy your back I been looking for a new post every 2 days for like 3 weeks now :( happy to see your at least playing agein.
Sorry to have kept you waiting. No more though! More posts!
As Gok said; been keeping an eye on the feeds for a new post.. Looking forward to them. Seems most blogs i keep a good eye have been in a lull.
Nice to finnaly see some action here again =p
“But our PUG scene is more progressed than some servers raiding guilds.”
So sad… but so true…
You want to see something really sad compair Illidans pug scene to Undermines raid scene, you’ll probably cry…. I do.
I can one up you. Check out Moon Guard on wowprogress. Not the worst guilds in the world, but I’m fairly confident that no one will get Putricide for the rest of the month there at least.
WTB Shoutbox ^^
Hmmm, I’ll look into it.
nice to see you back too Drotara, I keep looking in and am happy to see a post.
My guild, a 10 man only casual guild is also struggling on Rotface. All other bosses currently on farm, but can’t progress on Rotface yet even after a night of wipes.
Maybe this week eh?
Hey Dro!
I think a lot of us are feeling our blogs and sites are a bit neglected. It’s nice to see you’re still around though. Not too many of us oldtimers around anymore. lol
Man, this made my day. Great to have u back :)
Good to see you back!
Regarding your promise to come back and write more, no rush mate.
Maybe you should focus the site to only update on 2 things that matter ingame? (IRLfriends related news, DK, Hunter, Warrior or some other maintopic) This way you wouldnt have so much to “do” when logging in here, as you said; you got loads to tell us :)
I pray you dont take this the wrong way. It’s just a suggestion from someone who has been in a place where online commitments for fun turned into way too much to do and some shame related to not doing it properly.
If that should in any way be somewhat true, just relax and kick back, this site has been so far very layed back – decribing everything from everyday moral ethics online to a nice and warm description of your holiday – with a good insight into what’s changed and going on in the mechanics of the hunterclass.
It’s what makes, simply put, the blogg awesome!
I think everyone who reads this rather read the easy-going you, that we love, than anything squeezed out, out from responsibility.
I don’t presume to know you or anything about your ideas with this blog and if it came out as an attack I’m very sorry. Worth mentioning is that I’m not englishspeaking, just schooled somewhat, so I might have come out bad when not intended.
Personally I’m not even playing the game (took a break until catalysm to focus on RL plus a, admittetly, bad computer which didnt go par against t9 hardmodes). I do however keep up as much as I can on what’s going on, and you’ve been missed, Drotara!
Best Regards

Nice to see ya back.
The reason we hate you guys in the battle group is because we are sick of getting are butts kicked. :) Horde run the Rampage battle group. I made a horde toon just so I could win a BG once in awhile. I completely gave up on BGs on the alliance side.
Your guild name freaking rocks, I love that show. Came back to the site on a whim, glad to see you’re back!
I love getting the comments on the guild name. It is definitely brought up a lot when I join PUGs. It’s actually really funny how many people bring up their favorite chefs.
