Removing the Dal portals at that point would be fine, because you wouldn’t be taking the feature away–just transferring it.
Fingers crossed! I know I’d love to have that feature myself.
You could have run, on foot, in faster time. That zeppelin is ridiculous.
There’s no longer an option to repair a single item. You repair everything you’re wearing and in your bags. The option now is to use your own funds or your guild’s.
Unless this happened *very *recently, which is possible, that’s incorrect. Guild repairs are a separate option that have been available for quite some time, but only if the GM enables them. As recently as a few weeks ago, I remember repairing individual pieces of armor. (In order to bring the remaining total low enough to use up the last of my gbank repair allotment, in fact.)
I remember for a few months, at least, the most common greeting in RDF Heroic runs was “Hey, <name>, lance!”
Note to certain whiners ingame: How old are you, five? You a grown-ass guy.
That said, in our alt run our rather undergeared war tank successfully tanked the oozes on Rotface using thrown weapons, although one of the other healers kept cleansing people IN RAID. Bah. Fortunately said cleansed were quick enough to gtfo and let the war pick them up. We got to P3 on PP before people had to go to bed, so it’s all good.
Although I’m dreading trying to heal BQL – I didn’t do well last time. :smack:
That instance has so many wonderful opportunities for fail.
Like someone starting the jousting event before the 5th member arrived. Who ported in, unable to get a lance from the rack (because he had one in the bank :smack:) and getting slaughtered by the first three non-elite enemy jousters, while on foot, because he was the closest to them when they started. That was the tank, too, so had to rez him before starting the non-joust part of that event.
Oh well, I’ve done an entire heroic Halls of Reflection with my fishing hat on instead of my t10.5 helm. My DPS went down a bit.
In his defense, good healers are quick on the dispel/cleanse/abolish disease button to the point where it becomes automatic. It can be a tricky adjustment to make. Both my healers are fast on the dispels, and even after doing Rotface a bunch of times it still takes all my focus and concentration not to dispel the debuff as soon as I see it pop (I still go for the button but usually stop myself in time). Not that it’s an excuse to keep doing it, but if he’s unaccustomed to the fight I can see slipping up at first.
I’d disagree. *Decent *players quickly buttonmash their dispels. *Good *players know *what *to dispel and when. In a raid situation, you should know what dispelables are going to come up on which fights, and how they should be dealt with.
Note that I also changed “healers” to “players,” because healers aren’t always going to be the only ones expected to do dispels.
I thought I did truncate the links (even noted it next to link) so they would not work, but next time I’ll use the noparse tag.
Oh, yeah, on the Oculus blue drake front, guess what just dropped for Rumpole yesterday on his daily run? That makes one each for my two mains. 
Okay, I should have added the “raid-inexperienced” qualifier. Outside of a couple of raid fights, I can’t think of instances where you wouldn’t want to dispel any debuffs that came up as soon as possible.
How about in HoR? There’s a debuff there that comes up as dispellable but is applied by a player standing in a void zone. As long as they keep standing there, it will keep getting reapplied. If you keep trying to dispel it, you’ll just waste GCDs and mana.
Sane people don’t run HoR.
(There’s another debuff in HoR that deals major damage to either the target or everyone around him if dispelled. I think it’s the same boss (the one that comes after the second set of ghost waves), and you’re basically better off not dispelling anything on him.)
Seeing as we’re talking about the Oculus, so not looking forward to the achievement where you need to use each kind of drake. I think I’ll skip that one!
I did get Northrend Dungeonmaster though, which is making me want to go back and get the old world one.
Back to the open chat bar and not being able to do anything because of that. Last night, I noticed I had the letter “O” in there for some reason. So I just finished it with “Opulence. I has it!!”, which got me several LOL’s and one guy telling me to “jump in it”.
Speaking of last night, it wasn’t a very good night for me at the last. I hadn’t had much sleep lately and was working on a quest involving 4 different colored cauldrons I was supposed to “disturb”, and was doing very badly when a "Private ____ (forgot her whole name, but it started with the word “Penny”…) came running up on her horse and stopped while Wolkie was eating and when he was finished I had him re-mount and salute - as she was an 80- and she bowed back to me.
So we started back to work and next thing I knew, I had a bunch of dead bodies around me which needed looting and it was HER - removing all my obstacles from around the cauldrons!
I asked about why she wasn’t looting and she told me she was “on a different quest” - does that make sense to y’all?
So I returned to trying to finish my quest and then she sent me a request to group, to which I of course said “accept”.
Anyway, she did her best to help me, but by that time I was so wasted from lack of sleep, that I died and had turned all red, so I sent her a message thanking her, but that I didn’t want to hold her up. She said she had a raid to go to, but I should message her later if I needed her help.
I told her I was too embarrassed but also wrote I’d never forget what she did for me.
Then she rode off into the night.
“Who WAS that masked lady?”
I don’t know, but I…wanted to thank her.
God I must have looked like an oaf out there! But it was nice to meet someone good-hearted.
Q
Yeah, I remember that quest - there’s another quest in the same area where you’re supposed to kill off three chiefs, and the only way to get them to show up is to keep beating up on their followers. You pretty much have to commit genocide in that little sub-area to get the attention of all 3.
Quasi, just hit <esc> to get out of the chat bar.
Ha!
It’s pretty true, though. I have simply given up - it’s nearly impossible to run hoR as a Blood Dk tak unless everyone else is plays perfectly. I literally have no margin for any error. I haven’t even been in raids that tough, just because I can’t do AoE aggro. It’s piss-easy for some other tanks, but I usually get splattered within
Really, it’s just the same problems which plagued all of Wrath: AoE being too good, the easier dungeon access bringing players who don’t know/care/think about others. In the ICC heroics, though, these problems get magnified painfully. It wouldn’t be a problem to fight the mobs except that you’ve got from 5-8 at once and nobody CC’s anymore. They all just want to gather it up and explode it at once. No focus-firing, no holding back for tank threat to grow, not even priortitizing mobs. As a result, Forge of Souls is Tedious, Pit of Saron is easy and fun except that somehow I always wind up with some idiot who triggers the giant skeleton groups after Kirck and Ick, and Halls of Refelction is cool but agonizingly painful.
I was one of the healers on my alt. The other healer was on their main. I agree that it’s pretty ingrained to dispel (I’m usually top on dispels done), but it was a tad annoying since we’ve done Rot a bunch of times before and I specifically said “Don’t cleanse in raid” when I saw it happening. Oh well.
Next week: Poking PP unless we’re all busy trying to figure out our new skillz.
Hahaha! That’s one way to clear it out. 
If there were dead bodies that you could loot, she could not loot them. Looting is generally mutually exclusive.
So, either you tagged the mobs and then she killed them for you to be nice, in which case you get to loot them, or she killed the mobs herself to clear them away for you, in which case she could loot them if she wanted to but you could not.
Lotsa good people in this game! And who cares how ya look–it’s having fun that’s important.
