New patch coming up

I was reading a blog this morning and someone posted about the 3.3 patch coming up. I'm not on PTR or anything so I have to hear about these things second or third hand

Anyway, to the meat of it....It looks like they are nerfing paladins again. Lay on Hands will no longer be usable on yourself. This frustrates me a bit. I like the fact that if the healer is busy healing the tank on something hard, I can pop LoH and not worry about my health for a bit or the time it took to cast it.

EDIT: It looks like they may have retracted the LoH nerf. But Ghost Crawler says he isn't promising anything. I just hope they leave this one alone.

Also, they are nerfing sacred shield. The amount of damage it reduces is being nerfed because of the times changing. What I mean is that right now it the absorption is triggered every 5 seconds. With the patch it will be triggered every 30 seconds. Do to this, it's almost not worth the mana to cast it on myself.

It can be very frustrating to be a paladin sometimes....

Hallow's end

I got the holiday achievement on Castassia last year. It's one of the easier one's to obtain, relatively. So I've been working on the Headless Horseman to try to get that darn mount. So far, in the groups I've been in, I haven't even seen it drop. While a real life friend of mine already got it this year. He said first drop on the first night. I so hate him! ( not really)

And just like last year, the stupid rings are everywhere. It would be nice if you could sell them or DE them or even if they were bind to account so all my toons could have one. But they are a pure waste time. The least blizzard could have done was create a semi useful piece of trash. Instead, there are just a ton of unlooted bodies.


On a side note, I'm spending the rest of the time getting free xp on some of my level 70ish toons. The candy in the inns got my shaman up to level 73 now. And I can do homework while flying all over azeroth for that.

Fun in Durotar

I've been working on achievements lately and decided to go for the world explorer. So I explored a lot of zones lately and was working on the Barrens and then Durotar. When I hit the Barrens, I got a tell asking if I was raiding Org. I just ignored the person since I really don't care. I continued on into Durotar and finished exploring that zone. I went afk quick and came back to a level six troll rogue wanting to duel me. I'm so sick of people asking to duel me, and especially when I'm a level 80 and they are less than 70. So I decided to leave my ret aura on and just stand there. I accepted the duel, and the troll tried to stun-lock me. As soon as he hit me, he went down. My ret aura smashed him. And the troll ran off with his tail between his legs. I hope he learned his lesson........

Odd achievements

I decided to go try and get a couple of achievements knocked out of the way, like finally finishing all the heroic dungeons in Northrend.

One of the odd ones I did though was to get 10 critters in less than 3 minutes. I like having lots of friends :)

Onyxia

Last night my guild tried to do Onyxia 10 and 25. We failed on both. I'm not sure what was wrong, other than maybe we need more ranged dps than we had. We were getting to the third phase but people were just petering out slowly until there weren't enough in the third phase.

I'd much prefer trying ulduar since H ToC gives us gear that is closer to that. Some better gear won't hurt us, either.
