Little updates

So much new stuff happened
New guild, Keys came out, PvP, Raid, Professions... ahhh so much stuff!!!!!
First off... yeah you read that right... the guild hopper has landed in another guild... that I love. Everyone is nice, if there is even an inkling of drama, it's not noticed by me which I love, cuz drama points a huge arrow to the /gquit for me, and the inclusion of everyone right now (probably cuz we're still a small group) is a big thing too. Something for everyone cuz we do dungeons, PVP, raid... I'm just having so much fun!
Sadly to be honest, come January my time will be mainly on the weekends, with a few hours a day during the week. I'm really slackin' in the paperwork for my clinicals. I do the time and a I do the cases, but I'm not tracking all my cases as I should be. Honestly It might come down to the paper trail that will be the end of this for me. I don't blame WoW, cuz it's not the problem... My head just isn't on straight and I know this. I always say tho, if I put as much effort in everything else in my life as much as I do with WoW, I could pretty much do anything LOL... again I stress, WoW is NOT the problem!

Well shit, I wrote the above 5 days ago... I meant to get it out before today (reset and Vault day) but obviously that didn't happen. I do indeed think I jinxed myself on a couple of stuff. Just the whole feelings on the guild and running stuff really. I'm annoyed with myself all over again dealing with the damage I put out when I raid. I know, I've been told many times to stop worrying so much about it, but I can't help it. Mechanics breh, get good!... Ahhh I don't... know... how! Alright, I won't cry about it. 
And then dealing with the guild, /sigh. first taste of minor miscommunication drama, made for a really uncomfortable feeling for me. I know it didn't deal with me, but still. Feelings of wanting to dig out is mixed with stronger feelings of sticking it out and seeing if it gets better. So I think I'll do the later.  fingers crossed tho. You know what... this is bringing me down. Let's just get the frick over it and move on to shit that makes this fuckin weirdo happy shall we!

SO!
Today was vault day!!! I would like to think I made the right decision on picking my gear, however! I'm pretty sure my decision would be having people shaking their heads at me. First! this was the most I've ever had with my vault. 
2 Normal raids
3 Mythic Dungeons
2 PVP
Alright let's break down my decision. The first Scalesworn piece is PvE, the second at the bottom is PvP. These are my tier pieces. Although both the PvP ones would have been a huge upgrade for my PvP gear, I bowed out on those cuz if I was more active in PvP, I would have really considered it. The 2 neck pieces were not going to be an option for me as I already had my heart set on using this week's spark on the Elemental Lariat. The back piece was slightly better IL but the stats sucked balls. Now! lets talk about the last 2 pieces, the PvE tier gloves and the feet. Any normal person would have grabbed the tier. Mind you this was not upgradable, and the stats sucked. It had my 2 lowest stats, no bueno. The set bonus was very nice, BUT I know it will be awhile until I get another piece to make the set bonus active. Which leaves me the 395 feet. Not the best upgrade based on IL cuz I believe my current was 389 or some shit. But this was the deciding factor, It was upgradable AND it has my 2 strongest stats. I really could not pass that up. I feel good about my decision for the most part, but I still have my doubts about it as well. but you know what, it's done and I'll get over it.

Alright, on to my Mythic runs. I'm not a huge fan of these if I'm gonna be honest. Like any caster class you need time to "cast" your shit. lol I have very few abilities that are instant and deal damage. But these dungeons man, they make you move. With my haste looking real sad at the moment its super hard to get a cast off before I have to get out the way of something, which is why I always joke, that I like to stand in shit. But I've been better lately. Getting outta the way but not really doing that much in damage on some pulls. It's about the team right? and not seeing my purple bar at the top of meters. But on the bright side, I did make it to 1k M+ rating already. YAY!

And I'll end this with some PvP. My guild GMs do PvP and I've been taggin along and poking at stuff. Super not good at it, but I have fun. I started with level 1 honor at the beginning of last week and I went to level 8, so YAY to that!. 3v3 we hit 1k rating, so that was exciting. And I do roll with full PvP gear.

oh crap, well now I'm getting sad cuz I know starting next week, I won't be playing as much and doing all this... but I know I gotta get over it lol. Priorities... meh. 

Ok I'm done with this one. I believe I've said it before and I meant to do it, but little posts of one subject might be what I need to do, cuz I've been gathering everything until one update and I completely forget about everything I wanna write about. I'm so scatter brained and Im getting old, what can I say.
OK bye!

DragonFlight!!! Lets Goooooo!!!!!!

Oops... 2 weeks later sorry!
Like all these lately, I meant to get this out sooner. And I won't lie, I forgot everything I wanted to really talk about. I've been going through my screenshots and although I have a bunch, I have nothing of substance that will contribute to this Dragonflight entry really. I have a bunch of random ones that can fill my "Screenshot-a-Day" page to the point of having so much that I have to post 2 screenies a day now. But I love it so its ok.

Ok so first, Monday November 28th came launch date and 3pm for PST. I made it home from clinicals in time and was ready for this shit. Like we all expected the boat point to Dragon Isles was crammed packed with mounts on the zepplin tower. The timer was ticking down and the boat never came. Lols! the timer reset and we waited another 5 minutes. I flew away from the dock while I waited and got on the boat from the top. I'ma stay away from all these crazy ass people! I mean, I am one of the crazies so wtf am I talking about. 
So that was the intro into the isle.

I didn't level to max in the usual time that I normally can, clinicals is crampin my style for reals. I would usually request off from work for a week, sometimes two, JUST for an expac release. And I was kinda disappointed that I didn't level in one sitting to be honest. Something else different I did this time around was I actually levelled through questing AND dungeons. I mean aside from alt levelling, I don't believe I've gone into a dungeon in a new expansion. Don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure that is an accurate statement. I loved it though. Made the 70 gear grind easier. Needless to say 70 came on the 30th, 2 days later... that's not acceptable!

Now the dragon riding!
like everything I do for the first time, I'm always like "meh, I don't like this". I wasn't getting used to it and I couldn't drive my dragon for beans seriously. Doing the races around the isle makes learning to ride easy. I'm not a pro at it of course, but I understand it a little better. When I can complete all the courses at gold, then I'll consider myself a pro! I really don't think that will ever happen tho. This is my favorite dragon I made. Technically not a unicorn, cuz he has other horns on his head... but the one popping out the middle of his head makes him a unicorn in my book. BLUE UNICORN DRAGON!!!!
My favorite dragons are the Azure Dragonflight. A bit has to do with my wow crush in Kalec. Let me rephrase that, OLD Kalec. The new model is a serious boner killer for me lol. I don't know, I just don't like it very much. Give me my old Kalec model back. My Cata Kalec I used to visit all the time while running DragonSoul for my 3 mounts! But I totally understand they have to update the model features, but still... Poops!
So I like the fact that there are so much quests, and I've always loved faction grinds but I do feel so overwhelmed. There's so much stuff that I want and you need rep in order to buy from renowned quartermasters, I don't even know where to start. Ahh but the grind will happen here soon enough. I really haven't started on that because getting my taste of high IL gear in Shadowlands and me wanting to not waste time capping gear for the week is putting my focus on not really questing.
After getting all my 359 gear from Heroics and feeling comfortable to do Mythics, sure as shit I was right there finding a premade group. Now mind you I did have a guild, that I mentioned in the previous post, however they were not running mythics at the time so I went out on my own. Stuff happened I won't get into but lets just say I'm super impulsive and little things will set me off to play solo again. I don't need others to have fun (I'll keep telling myself that), I don't need a guild to get gear, I don't need a guild to funnel me gear, I don't need a guild to carry me, I can play by myself obviously. Previously, I needed help, but my big girl panties are on now, and I completed my DF Mythic dungeon achieve all by myself (well with a pug group of course). I'll find another guild just for the social aspect I guess. There was a couple guilds I saw that were small so I might make a decision then. Alright enough of all that.
Hmm let's see what else... I'm happy our quest logs are getting 10 more added, I'm excited to start keys next week, I'm excited about raids starting as well, but sad that LFR isn't dropping until later tho. And I think that's about it for now. I know, like always that I missed some things I've done but that's all I can think about right now.
OK OK BYE!!!
