Clothing was casually purchased in Goldshire, a few herbs in Westfall. She used the extra time to make sure various poisons were ready as well, not that she thought she’d need them, but you could never…

Why I hate Daily Quests
comment 4 Written by Anna on March 30, 2008 – 7:51 am

(pardon me while I rant a bit. Regular, sane, well thought out Anna will return in 5 minutes)

soapbox Ok – you’re all probably looking at me funny right now. I know – dailies are how you make MONEY, you say. They funded my epic mount and now I have speedy birdy and all this stuff that I can do so much *faster*, plus I’m like super duper special loved by all these people so they give me cheap repairs, crafting patterns, cookies, and free beer.

(ok, maybe not so much on the free beer…)

Alright. Yeah. They make money. That is one of, if not the sole reason that I, occasionally, do them. (The other reason being reputation, which is really just more farming)

That said, I hate them. With a deep seated fiery passion. In fact, it could be said that I hate them more than I hate farming – which is saying something – even though I end up doing them more often than farming (because farming with a holy priest/resto shaman sucks). Even though most of them are little more than glorified farming…

Anyway – I figure there are a few things that could account for this.

Matticus’ Five Barriers to Raid Healing
comment Comments Off Written by Anna on March 29, 2008 – 8:52 pm

Matticus posted the final chapter of his Five Barriers to Raid Healing – Healing Against Your Will.

It is both eloquent and excellent (as usual) – go read and learn! (The whole series is worth your time to read, I promise. Good stuff that. Also, he just helped me fix an addon problem so he says I owe him blog-space. :p )

And while you’re at it, go check out The Rambling Bear’s 10 Commandments of the Raider.  It should be required reading for any new building raid.  And any raid, really, to keep these things fresh in people’s minds.

The Second Time Around

January 31, 2012 – 7:37 am

I am, officially, strange. Not that this is news to any of you, but I was reminded of it again this week while playing Ana’leth and Annata.

I like content better the second time I complete it. When I’m new…

The People of RaidFinder

January 27, 2012 – 9:09 am

Having done a few RaidFinder groups, I’m starting to notice patterns. Sadly, they’re not really GOOD patterns. For whatever reason, the players who show up, do their jobs, get loot and go on their merry way don’t seem to stick…

There’s No Place Like Home

January 27, 2012 – 7:25 am

I was reading a post the other day from Ask a Jedi, about how his characters in other games had places that felt like “home”, where in Star Wars they kind of didn’t.

It’s a good post, and an…

Brain Heals

January 24, 2012 – 8:11 am

I redid my gems. I re-reforged. I redid my keybinds. I set up clique and totem timers.

And then we went to Firelands.

My first foray as a healer wasn’t horrible though, once I remembered I had Healing Rain (which…

When the writing gets tough…

I don’t have a witty ending to that statement. But it would probably be something like “… the writer gets a beer.”

Anyway, what happens when you want to be writing, but the ideas won’t come? When you have a…

Form of Healer – ACTIVATE!

January 20, 2012 – 11:04 am

So my as yet nameless raid* is going through another reset cycle. We’ve lost a few people, are raiding on a new night, etc.

One of the people we lost was our paladin healer.

As such, since I like my…

SWTOR Resources (General and RP)

For my own use as much as anyone else’s:

Wookieepedia – Star Wars Lore Database. Enormous, but good for getting answers to lore questions. Also good for sucking up your afternoon without you noticing.
