Running with a new guild
July 19, 2009 by Visin · Leave a Comment
First of all, before I jump into my story of the mysterious new guild I am hanging with, I would like to apologize for the lack of content here and content over at Azeroth Now. The reason why I have been absent with writing here is that I feel I would be letting you all down as my WoW subscription has been inactive, and that means boring content.
But now, things have changed!
I resubscribed my account and I am starting to get geared for Ulduaar. I am working with a web design company and that gives me freedom to do a lot more work online, which I am very thankful for. Anyways, back to the main story…
As you may or may not have known, I was with “Tel Seldarine” which is guild comprised of local friends that I have known forever, but things in all their personal lives made it where they could not raid like we need to, which lead to the disband of the guild. As this occured it lead me to search for a new guild, all lost and confused.
While in “Looking for Group” a player by the name of Cayana whispered me and asked if I want to run 10 Naxx with them, and I was all over that! Now, I am not going to bore you to death and tell you everything that happend in the run but needless to say, I enjoyed myself that night. I am going to run with them tonight actually at 5pm server time on Aerie Peak [US] and I hope to run with them weekly as they are all very nice people.
Now, is this a permanent guild for Visin? Is this going to be a new home for my lonely night-elf? I dont know yet but I hope to stay in contact with them as we run various raids, and maybe they will find a spot for me in their guild. Only time will tell what can happen next.

Impossible to get to 80!
January 23, 2009 by Visin · Leave a Comment
If you all have been keeping up from the previous posts on Visin getting to level 80 you will know that I am trying to do it by Friday at 1 PM server time, and it is 5 AM server time right now and guess what? The server shut down for 4 hours! OMG!
So yeah congratulations to me on getting to 79 but I did not have much time to come here to tell you as soon as it happened so I guess the server shut down was for a reason. Well when I was level 78 I had a friend that I ran some instances with and he has been a great tank ever since I was like level 74! So me and him ran like 5 instances last night and picked me up some drops that I could use for the Agility which in turn helps out my DPS.
To make a long story shorter, I have been questing like CRAZY and I have been doing everything possible to level in the shortest time thinkable. So I need 10 little bubbles/bars/little things that means I am getting closer to leveling and as soon as I was in the swing of things Blizzard had to bring Arenas back up which will take “no longer than 4 hours”, yeah right! When has Blizzard ever kept their word on anything?
Must Level In 4 Hours
By the time the server comes back up it will leave me with around 4 hours before our raid begins and my initial plan was to attend this raid Friday and I MUST do it, I have set this goal and it will kill me to make it fail. So as of right now I am in Icecrown questing which means I am on Thottbot looking up every single quest I will encounter before I level up. This raid better pay off because I am working my butt off on this thing, but I do want my little Rogue AoE as well, Fan of Knives sounds fun!
What do you all think? Do you think I will be able to do this in 4 hours? Do you think I should even be worried with it? Who knows? I just know I am going to try my hardest to make it, and if I don’t then I will be majorly upset!

78 Rogue LFG
January 22, 2009 by Visin · 2 Comments
So today I figured I would post to show you all how I have been doing on little ole’ Visin and how she is staying with the rest of the game. She has to be level 80 by Friday at 1 PM server time and as of right now I am level 78 with 3 bars completed! This is truly a race between my real life problems and my in-game problems, but I know I will manage.
Visin has been trying to get instances for Gun’Drak and Halls of Lightning for experience and a few armor pieces I need along the way of the epic path of getting to level 80. As you all know Friday is when we are running Vault and OS and I do hope I can dish out the 2,000 DPS that my guild leader expects of me and while picking the best raid build possible for my Rogue. Which brings me to another situation that happened today….
Terrible Experience As Dagger Build
You know being a Sword build from level 70 you will start to get curious to why you are not a Dagger build, and that is the reason I bought two Saronite Daggers from a guy today over Trade channel, got them both for a small price of 300 gold! So I grabbed my Daggers and picked the best PvE Dagger build that I could find/think of and I went out to test it, only if I knew…
The DPS was terrible! I was trying to play as Sword Rogue and somethings just felt wrong! I did not have Adrenaline Rush anymore and I did not have Blade Flurry or Riposte or Killing Spree, OMG! I was dishing out a measly ~500 DPS when I was level 77 which my Sword build got me around ~900 DPS at the same level, which was insane! I can not speak for everyone but I enjoy Sword Rogues more for PvE as the Major Glyphs are made more towards Sinister Strike (love the extra Combo Point from Critical Hits!).
Well, the server just restarted for us over at Aerie Peak [US] and I can not waste much time writing (sorry about that!) so I will be getting real life stuff out of the way while server is down, I will come back here soon to let you know on my updates as Rogue, thanks for reading and check back!

Ding, 77 and Cold Weather Training
January 20, 2009 by Visin · Leave a Comment
So at around 5 am I finally got to that next level which for me was level 77. Now Visin is the type of Rogue that doesn’t meddle with the little things until she is the best she can be, then she may put that extra bit of work into things. After hitting level 77 I had one thing on mind and that was to hurry up and get Cold Weather Training!
Dilemma; Epic Flying Mount
Between level 70 raiding all week and doing my best to make contributions to the guild to help out, I really did not have the time or gold to get that epic flying mount so that has had a little dampening on my 70-80 leveling of course but it will all come in due time as leveling is my key focus that I am not going to stray from. With my Mining and Jewelcrafting both below the skill of 200 and my interests in the professions dropping, I am thinking of dropping them for Skinning and Leatherworking!
Now with this Epic Flying Mount I would be able to fly around quickly and skin the entire world and max out my skinning in less than a day but unfortunately I am not going to have this luxury. I will be using my good ole’ trusty 60% flying mount to level my skills but that is fine as long as I hit level 80 by Friday.
Heroic Time is Imminent!
By Friday (January, 23rd) I am suppose to be level 80 in order to run Heroics with the rest of the guild which they are relying on me to get to 80 by then. I have been doing everything in my power to maximize my total XP/Hour and have been doing great my Zygor’s Guide even though every once in a while I try out my own techniques too. This Friday I have to do Obsidian Sanctum and The Vault, all of this when I first turn 80! It may not be a lot to most hardcore raiders but for me just turning 80 I may have my doubts with my DPS and raid potential.
My guild leader says he would like to me to get up to 2000 DPS by the time we are running Naxxaramas and I have read that my Hit needs to be around 16% so I can achieve maximum damage. Now I have been looking into the loot that the bosses will be dropping and I have not been seeing many great swords that I would love to grab but I have seen quite a few daggers, which I consider myself more proficient with swords than anything but I suppose we will see what happens this friday as far as raiding goes. -gulp-
5:46 AM - Logging off
Since I have done well tonigth and got to level 77, I feel that I should be able to sleep easily until later tonight when I seek out to level to 78 which by then I will write another post (quite productive aren’t I?). So look forward for another post tonight to see how this level works out for me and if anything comes up as far as my professions, you will be the first to know! So for Visin, I am out but will be back online after Tuesday maintenace and HOPEFULLY they issue 3.0.8 today…
