That’s the best way I can describe it… weird. It felt like I was in a time warp conversing with people I hadn’t seen in 10 year, people I vaguely remember, and people who frankly… I don’t give a rats ass about anymore. Everyone was excited to see me, but how come noone kept in touch? I’ve kept the same email address I had since highschool that I included on my signature line in the yearbook, so why happy to see me now? Superficial much? I dunno I had a bunch of good conversations with people who are doing interesting things with their lives, but I dunno it just seemed anti-climactic. On my ride home I couldn’t help but think, damn those are several house I could have been grinding Sori’s levels. If I knew how it went would I go again? Probbaly so, it was interesting, but not what I expected. Although honestly I didn’t have many expectations.

As of last night I am now 66 on Sori. I’ve completed the ring of blood and already I’m pumping out some nice DPS. My +DMG self buffed 585, group buffed 650 or so, with a +DMG totem I was a little over 700. I already have a full Imbued Netherweave set + Frozen Shadoweave made. By the time I’m 70 I should be easily over the minimum cap for Karazhan. I’m averaging a level a day to at the latest I should be 70 some time next week. I’ve already gone face to face with a 66 paladin who got schooled repeatedly while I was 62, a 70 rogue who almost got beat by me when I was 65 until I got my actual PVP gear on and was ready for a fight, then he high tailed it out of there.

Overall I’m loving playing Sori again and the guild is really supportive of me destroying people’s faces. A lot of people have been helping me grind in one way or another. When I’m 70 the hardest thing will be the balance between PVP, PVE, and grinding gold for an epic.

Time for Sori and Flaatom to wake up again from the darkness and destroy people’s faces.

I need a stress reliever and Livistos, even Livistos in PVP is not doing it. I need a character that I will enjoy relieving some stress kicking ass and taking names. Livistos even though he might be healing others who are raping face can’t do it himself. In fact PVP healing doesn’t relieve stress in fact it just adds to it. Right now I don’t have a game or character that’s stress relief. I take console gaming too seriously for it to be stress relief and I don’t get stress relief out of Liv. So hopefully Soriathus can be my stress reliever.

So Soriathus will be leveled and geared/speced solely for PVP. I am even going to make Livistos less PVP and DPS speced and pick up more healing talents (yes he has PVP and DPS talents atm). Right now my DPS gear is good enough on Liv that losing those talents he should still be able to solo decently.

I can’t wait to see Soriathus in level 70 and eventually PVP epics. Fear me Alliance, I’m coming for you.

Made the Dean’s List for the Spring 2007 simester. Of course that’s with a 4.0 of a required 3.5? Not really hard first simester of school. I also got a 4.0 the first half of the Simester for Summer 2007 and I should get another 4.0 for the second half of Summer 2007. I think that maybe after my 2nd simester things should start picking up in difficulty but right now it’s brain dead easy. I’m still taking it seriously, but still, it’s easy.

I’m king (at least I am according to Ogre law). After weeks of gearing up in Karazhan, last night we litterly spanked the High King Mulgar encounter. We started the evening by getting a large stockpile of manaoils made, Ogrila flasks purchased, and mentally preparing for the fight. When raid time came we had a LOT of new people. Some were new to raiding in general, some new recruits, some who were veterans but never been to that dark hole in the ground before. After spending about 10 minutes explaining the fight and the trash we executed an wonderous chain pull of the first single and double pull and then setup to take down High King. We made one attempt at it and the pull had issues. After a quick rez and short discussion of what wasn’t working we tried again. I had confidence in my team we’d down him on second attempt and we did. Only two deaths from people accidently caught by AoE and we prevailed.
