I remember you being somewhere in the 80's, Aeth. "Ages"...


Also, to talk about interesting off-topic stuff, I have now officially finished my AS year. This means that all my AS courses have finished, I still have my other courses next week and still have 8 exams to sit. And we'll recommence in 3-4 weeks for the second year courses.
The bad thing is that I have a really bad sinus headache. I will make myself a pot o' tea and then use it to wash down some Ibuprofen or something.
At least I only have 4 lessons next week. And three exams. And at least the next exam I actually have to revise for more than an hour total is still seven days away.

Haha!

And I've already finished 3 exams. It's partially my own fault - if I stuck to the programme I started with, it would have been 5 in total this summer.
I pretty much got kicked out of International English after the first lesson because I'm fluent, and they put me into a "high school level" English class, that's one more exam because it's two for that class. Then I decided I was bored, and took on a college level English/Linguistics class, as well, which is one more exam. Still bored, I took an ICT class - sat the exam early, passed it in December - and I still need to finish my coursework for that. Then someone on =21 told me to go study in Amsterdam, so I thought "Why not?" and decided to do the Dutch exam (done, went reasonably well considering Aethien was my teacher) and the exams office shoved two German exams into my face, pretty much, because they're free A's for a native speaker. Reasonable, but now I've got 11 exams.
And I'm sort of tempted to just take on more exam-only stuff next year because qualifications are qualifications and I am capable of getting A's in those without actually doing much work at all. And I want to learn more languages.

No, Kali is bored and doesn't want to waste all her excess time with vidya games.

Side note, people still got the Mess achieve for the fight. Uberlulz.

You're working hard now in trying to get into the top 250 posters aren't you?

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: My healer for todays daily heroic.

With an impressive 1644 spellpower, 304 hitrating and +26 agility.
Come and see, come and see! only a quarter per person.

I cried a little after checking him out.

To be fair though, a lot of that can be logically explained. The hit is probably there because his mainspec is shadow and he doesn't really have proper healing gear. The agility enchant is there because he was an enchanter/tailor and he was just trying to level his enchanting. And not having Rapture makes sense if you simply aren't familiar with the disc spec and use Penance + other heals over PW:S (which, as any priest who'se played holy will know, you normally rarely use).

Obviously there's room for improvement, but I've seen worse. He's not a spellpower-stacking Death Knight.

At least he did one thing right.

Did you offer him any advice, or only mock him?

I asked him why he wasn't shielding me and spamming Greater Heal, when he didn't reply I inspected him and asked him if he knew how much mana Rapture gave. He didn't really reply much beyond NEED MB! (every second pull and I innervated him on cooldown) Then I calculated for him how much Mp5 Rapture was worth and told him to spec into it.
Considering that just about his only words so far were mb, need mana and mana break plz! I gave up and just killed stuff without counting on heals.

The 1.2 and 1.4k dps death knights didn't really help either. Me and Bever made up about 75% of the total damage done.



For reference, at 20.2k mana, assuming rapture procs every 14 seconds, it returns (20158x0.025=) 503.95 mana per 14 seconds, or 36 mana per second/180Mp5.

With the stamina buff I reach over 50k hp anyway, and add about 46 or 47% dodge with the DK buff and your average heroic isn't all too threatening anymore.
It helps a lot with my toleration for stupidity, if I'm on my hunter a bad tank means I'm standing around doing nothing half the time which is incredibly frustrating.
