You have weird tastes. Vorla is way hotter than Auda.

Well, except for both being girls, I have no idea how you managed to mix them up. They are even pictured in my forum signature for Pete’s sake!

One is ugly, one is pretty. One has fiery red hair, one is blond as snow. One is clad in cloth and explodes a lot, one is a tin can that never dies.

Made me jiggle!

I’m the ‘most suicidal DK’ – running 14k dps for a fight will do that. My guildies know to have a bubble ready after I spread my diseases and drop Death and Decay… it’s funny in pugs when I try to esplain: “please have a bubble ready for whelp phase. They will eat me.”

Actually in pugs these days, I just wait until someone else is getting nom-nommed, then start my dps. It isn’t as sexy, but I get to live.

Actually it appears to be quite a nice healer trinket:

Equip: Increases spell power by 150.
Equip: Each time you cast a helpful spell, you gain 16 mana per 5 sec. for 10 sec. Stacks up to 8 times.

Solace me!

And nice artwork, BTW. Classic.

“Solace of the Defeated”…..sounds like an item that deserves to go to a dps-type that enjoys standing in fire–or whelp orgies–and then wins the role. “I know that I contributed zero dps while I lay deceased and defeated, but I shall take said purple item (I’d look up what it is, but most wow-related sites are blocked from work, go figure) through the virtue of my overabundance of luck, and it shall be my solace.”

Hehe, thank you kindly. I’m relieved that it’s a platonic, across-the-ocean kind of way, because if you ran off into a sordid love nest with my posts, my blog would be devoid of content

The weird thing about squealing for healz is how one instinctively responds to it… at least I do, even though it simultaneously annoys me (I mean, really, do you think it hasn’t occurred to me that I ought to be healing?). But the upshot is that it upsets my rhythm and I end up sending masses of healz where they might not be needed and totally ignoring where they are.

On the other hand, I totally understand why you’d squeal as the whelps descended. They’re scary. And they have hungry gleams in their eyes.

Yays! I make people keel over. I wish I hadn’t got your characters muddled through. That would have involved smaller ears and bigger feet. Oh yeah, my artistry is so leet.

I think we were all of us off our game that night… semi-hilariously so. I’ve never healed so frantically in my life. The tanks seemed to be taking a phenomenal amount of damage (and I was on raid). And I wonder if there was something with the lag … I thought the deep breaths thing was just me spazzing out but if everyone was biting them as well.
