Damn right I’m happy, this Hog is so damn cool. I spent most of the day jumping off stuff lol, cost about 15k but it was well worth it. I wish it came with a leather jacket and some black sunglasses for extra coolness.

So my little raptor is growing up some, I just received my 12th tooth for the quest to get a raptor mount, this is the most easiest mount to earn because you just do the daily for 20 days and you are done. I think with this mount my total will be around 55 mounts so far, here is a screenshot of  my little buddy.

So I just turned on WOW and saw that the download program is running, 445mb  total. Not sure when the patch will be out but its good to see the download program up and running.

Yeah yeah I know this is mostly a Shaman blog for my main Damien but I decided to go ahead and level Hachi. Here is a picture of me taking down Old Crystalbark, Druids are pretty fun, I mostly stay in Kitty form to level, more faster in my opinion.

Before beginning his reign as the Lich King, Prince Arthas Menethil was first a servant, ruled by a sword he believed was the key to saving his people – the runeblade Frostmourne. Finding and claiming the blade among the frozen wastes of Northrend was an odyssey unto itself, and the search cost the prince his mentor, his relationship with his subjects, and his humanity. It cost the living of Azeroth far more.

With a tight grip on the blade that he traded his life for, Arthas ravaged the kingdom of Lordaeron and broke free from the control of the Burning Legion. By the time the former prince ascended as the leader of the Scourge, Frostmourne was already glutted with the souls of the numberless dead who dared to oppose him.

Now, Arthas has become so inseparable from his weapon that the sword’s likeness has even found its way into the architecture of his fortress, Icecrown Citadel. Its hilt is never far from his hands; its ghostly whispers constantly ring in his ears. Frostmourne, as much as the Lich King, is the ruler of Northrend.
To challenge that rule, mighty heroes will need to follow more closely in Arthas’s path than ever before.

In a relentless quest to arm the forces of the living against the Scourge, Darion Mograine has formed the Ashen Verdict, a union between the most skilled craftsmen of the Argent Crusade and the Ebon Blade. Though the peerless paladins of the Crusade wield the power of the Light, and their leader clutches Ashbringer, a few of Mograine’s dark warriors have begun to question their hopes for victory.

These death knights insist that the Ashbringer and the skills of the Argent Crusaders, though potent, aren’t enough to best Frostmourne alone. They swear that Darion Mograine has long been quietly aware of another legendary blade – one that could be the key to defeating the Lich King and cleansing Northrend… But it doesn’t exist yet.

For the moment, the weapon is a formless idea, with no more killing power than an angry thought. When it is spoken of, it is spoken of quietly, and the Highlord has a habit of silencing those who discuss it in public.

But the hope of an artifact to rival Frostmourne is strong within the minds of the Ebon Blade. Just its name inspires the furnaces to burn late into the night, the bellows to pump air, and the darker half of the Verdict’s smiths to swing their hammers until their fingers fail. While other craftsmen crafters lean over whetstones and gather pitted blades by the hundreds, these few dream of a single weapon to end the war for Northrend.
Shadowmourne… A great two-handed axe fit for a giant, born of sacred and corrupt powers, host of a thousand dead souls and able to be wielded only by the most stalwart armsmasters of Azeroth. Its creation seems nearly impossible; and yet, the rumors do not cease.

Some smiths claim that Shadowmourne must be nothing more than an ordinary axe, honed to unparalleled perfection, while others would shape it from a weapon of immense import in the world. Mograine, when he can be convinced to speak of it at all, is said to believe that only the hammer of Arthas himself will provide a worthy model – but such absurd ambition is just the beginning of Shadowmourne’s creation.

• To contain the energies that dance across its cold edges, Shadowmourne must be hewn from piles of impure Saronite: the hardened blood of the Old God, Yogg-Saron, treated only by master metal-shapers.
• To fuel its power to kill, it is vital that Shadowmourne be drenched in the souls of the most potent servants of the Scourge as they are slain, one by one, with the unfinished blade.
• To help break through the Lich King’s armor, Shadowmourne is to be adorned with fragments of the Frozen Throne, originally crafted by Kil’Jaeden out of ice from the Twisting Nether.

Only with these mighty components, it’s said, can Shadowmourne be finished. And, yet, even if the axe could be completed, questions and fears remain. Is forging the souls of the deceased into a weapon treated withblood and the essence of the Twisting Nether truly any different from the crafting of the Scourge’s runeblades?

Who is to say that the Lich King wouldn’t simply annihilate – or control – the maker for their impudence in mimicking his most treasured possession? If Arthas, one of the most dedicated knights of his age, lost his humanity to the whispers of Frostmourne, might Shadowmourne bring the same doom and misery tothe living as its sister blade?

Without knowing the answers to these questions, who would be bold enough to try and wield it?

Not really but these damn keylogger whispers are getting in my nerves!! Check out the latest whisper scam they are sending now. Just say no!!

I recently posted a thread a while ago on the Shaman forums about rolling on cloth and leather items. As a  Elemental Shaman we don’t have a lot of mail gear that’s beneficial for us unless you are raiding hardcore. Most replies where “roll on it if its a upgrade” I know I have cloth gloves and a leather belt that has spell power and crit on them. I always wondered why certain professions only allow you to make certain armor items and to be complete you have to raid or quest.

Example, a Blacksmith can make a epic shield that’s good for defense only but he can’t make a epic shield that beneficial for paladins and shamans if they are healers.  A leather worker can craft epic chest pieces, boots, etc, but they can’t craft epic shoulders. I think all Armor wearing professions at the high level should be able to craft all the epic pieces that pertain to their profession. Have it so its BOP or make it so a certain material(s) has to come from a dungeon, that can also be sold in the Auction House. A high level tailor should be able to craft a complete epic set that only some items can only be used for him or her.

The way it is now, the only way you will get certain epic gear or a piece you might want is to raid, plain and simple you will have to enter the dungeon and raid. I don’t think Blizzard wants a fresh 80 to go into the AH and buy a complete epic set. Lets me honest, WOW is changing and its not like it was in our level 60 time, things are easier now, I think Blizzard is trying to make it so everyone has a chance at good loot and that’s ok with me.

Shammies rejoice our Tier 10 is out and its very very nice!!! High Res link

Here are the names of the Shaman Tier 10, lets just hope it looks ok../cry

Shaman

• Frost Witch’s Garb
• Frost Witch’s Regalia
• Frost Witch’s Battlegear

MMO-CHAMP just posted a picture of the new Armored Frost Wyrm mount. Most likely this is the Arena mount, you gotta be a Gladiator to attain this beautiful creature. Good Luck! http://www.mmo-champion.com/

I love my little Squire and the bugle noise when he comes out, I wish he would talk or grunt, lol. Lately I have been collecting pets, I know a few players who have over 50 pets, some that I want are too much gold in the AH.

I hit exalted with the Kalu’ak this morning and grabbed my Epic Fishing Pole Glad those dailies are done, now I will work on the Knights of Ebon Blade more, about 6k from exalted with them.

Lately I’m getting tired of playing, for some strange reason in the last few days I do my dailies and log off. This morning I try to do my dailies again and was like “God this sucks”…… Maybe because I’m doing the same thing everyday and its wearing me down. Yesterday to try and have a little fun I went back and did a lot of low level quests and ended up Exalted with 4/5 of the Alliance factions, some with the rune cloth turn in. I have only the Elves to get exalted with and I will earn the Ambassador Title, I also now have 35 mounts, 15 more and I will get the Albino Drake.

Maybe I’ll take a few days break from WOW and go read a good book or go to the gym more. Sometimes you gotta step away from the computer and go enjoy life, cause that’s where the real fun is at.

Since I will be going back to the Horde come November I went ahead and made my forum posting signature.

Shaman
Tier 10 Elemental Relic
The Elemental totem is haste, not crit, and I believe it is a 30 sec duration.

Reincarnation cooldown
We might drop Reincarnation to 30 base, talented to 15. That’s a slight nerf to the talent, but at the same time taking the cooldown that low might make an unattractive talent more attractive. (Source)

We were concerned that a really short cooldown on an ability that rezzes you and only rezzes you would lead to bizarre behavior. Shamans could just commit suicide every fight knowing that they could come back. Standing in the fire too long? No problem. Too far away from where you want to be? Just die. Out of mana? Just die. Yes you might lose dps or healing time, but we still think it would happen and we think it would look weird.

Soulstone by comparison can easily be used on the “wrong” person (if they don’t die) and Rebirth can’t be used at all if the druid dies. In some ways, Reincarnation is the only cooldown that you are guaranteed to see every fight as soon as it becomes that dependable.
