Late June post

Let's start this one off with JANI!
This was such a huge relief to finish. I grinded so hard for this in the last month. I say a month because of the Nazjatar followers that takes 30 days. But really I've been slowly working on this achieve since it came out, chipping away at it little by little. 
Worth it! Jani is awesome. You turn into Jani and she holds your weapons. I've tried her with staves too. Yeah, just a ground mount but I still love it. I still like to run around Dornogal with her even though I get told that no one cares that I have this mount. I don't care, I'm super proud of this achievement and what it took me to get it. 
Next meta achieve I'm trying to complete is from Shadowlands. Back from the Beyond. I don't think I was really grinding for this one rather just doing achievements and it just so happened that majority of them was put towards this meta. Shadowlands is the last expansion I mostly played solo so doing them was easy. No one to bother me while I was doing my own shit I guess. around the mid of Dragonflight is when I found out about this meta and saw the mount and said "I NEEDS IT!"
then the grinding for the rest of the achieves came in. My last one on the list is I'd say RNG time gated. Quests that I need for these don't cycle properly so it's all a "maybe it'll pop this week" that's a whole lotta bulls**t. 
Switching back to Maldraxxus covenant is my last one I need. I'll give it another month maybe. I am a very patient person so it'll be fine. Alright, I ain't patient but I'll be fine.
Next, I caved and bought the Cata classic pack. Have I been playing classic... NO... am I going to now... most likely NOT... then why did I buy the upgrade?... Um Ragnaros mount, need I say more?
ok and a little Wrathion battle pet, but mainly the mount. 
Dastardly Duos was pretty neat. Truth and I went to do a couple one night and sad to say I've never been back. Wait speaking of never going back  into something, Visions! did it the first week Stormwind came out and same thing, I did a couple then stopped. I'm so terrible nowadays. What happened to all my collecting and grinding motivation, I don't even know. You 'd figure since I left the guild again, I don't have to worry about anything and I'd be more apt to do everything I enjoy doing. I blame other games at the moment.  

Well I did grind for this guy!
Captain Hooktail!!!!! New Timewalking mount that I think we were not supposed to get. Or maybe they changed up how to get it. In the past I thought we were supposed to run timewalking dungeons and maintain a buff for 4 weeks or something. I guess not this time. I saw someone on it already and said, I NEEDS IT!!!
Truth and I and a couple other people spam ran them and pop! achieve and mount YAY!!!!

And Finally.... I don't usually offer my thoughts on gameplay options, but I will on the one button rotation. Prior to its release I really don't know what I thought about it. It was a "whatever" addition to me. I was pretty sure I was going to try it but not use it. I am creature of habit and it takes me a long ass while to get used to things and when I do get used to it, I never like to deviate from it. One button rotation will never be used for my locks. On the other hand, rotation assistant will never be used on my Demo locks. But if I ever do try the other two specs on my alts, I'll figure it out myself or I will most likely turn to the rotation assistant.
One button rotation was just not for me. I am a clicker so you'd figure it would be perfect and easy. but I am also a keyboard mover. I rarely use my mouse to move and yeah yeah I've been told many times that it's not the most effective, but it's what I like so hush. Anywhos, so yeah I didn't run anything with using it, but I was at the target dummies. It doesn't work if you want to be effective in M+ It works if you're paying attention to what it's casting and you can use your abilities that isn't part of the one button options. For me I noticed it does not summon Tyrant, it does felguard but I usually I hold that for tyrant if I'm ok with the cd left, or I use him as an interrupt. I actually hold other things too now that I think about it. I found it defeating for me personally when I try hard to get good at something and then something is added that dumbs everything down and makes the clueless better at it then me. Ugh, well I've always said I was crap, so this kinda just proves it. I'm not bitter, just sad.
hang on a darn sec! Why the frick am I getting annoyed!? I did about 2.5mil better damage (err that I noticed but maybe I did more) NOT using the one button. I should be happy all my clicking and crinkly old lady fingers going a mile a minute did a better job then one lazy button. Maybe I was hoping for a better experience to give my fingers a rest? meh, creature of habit. So if you didn't gather my feeling on this, I don't like it. 
And here's another picture of Skully and Captain Hooktail sailing the the Isle of Dorn skies.
He's so cool!!!!

OK... OK Bye!
