The Queue: Puny mortals!
I AM DEATH INCARNATE, THE UNMAKER OF WORLDS, AND I WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS FOR THE QUEUE!
Currently planning my first proper vacation in ages. Going to Niagara Falls and Toronto, neither of which I’ve been to before.
So far everything seems to be coming together, as long as my passport shows up even vaguely close to on time I should be good to go. There’s a few small things left to take care of, but at this point it’s mostly just waiting.
It’ll be my first time out of the US since I was a small child, and even that was just for a random afternoon. Also essentially my first time doing self-planned urban tourism, which has it’s own learning curve. I think I got everything figured out well enough, though I’ll be sure to get the full “first time to Canada” speech and/or pamphlet from the boarder guard.
READY YOURSELF FOR DOOM HAS COME TO CANADA, AND ALSO FROM CANADA.
GET SOME AUTHENTIC CANADIAN POUTINE WHILE YOU’RE UP HERE! IT WILL NOT OVERTAKE ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND BEND YOU TOWARD A DARK FATE WHERE ALL YOU CARE FOR IS A DELICIOUS BLEND OF GRAVY AND CHEESE CURDS.
ALSO, MAKE SURE TO GET SOME FRITTERS FROM TIM HORTON’S — THEY’RE THE BEST THING ON THE MENU.
KNOW THOUGH, THAT TO TRULY EXPERIENCE CANADA YOU’LL NEED TO HOLD THE DOOR FOR SOMEONE WHO IS JUST SLIGHTLY TOO FAR AWAY FOR IT TO BE CONVENIENT FOR EITHER OF YOU.
IT WILL BE AWKWARD, THEY’LL STILL THANK YOU THOUGH.
Q4TQ: You can just freely swap between the hero specialization and individual talents any time you can swap specs and normal talents, right? If so, I can’t imagine this being anywhere near as bad or time-intensive as covenants were. I’m sure it will be fine.
IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW HEROIC YOU FEEL YOU ARE, WITH SUCH A TRIVIAL TIE TO YOUR HEROES HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO PREVAIL AGAINST MY MOLTEN BLOOD AND UNQUENCHABLE FIRE!
WHEN THESE TALENTS WERE FIRST ANNOUNCED PEOPLE SAW THIS AS A WAY TO ADD A BIT MORE FLAVOR TO THEIR CHOSEN CLASSES, AND WHILE THERE IS STILL FLAVOR HERE AS ALWAYS THE COSMETIC OR PLAYER FANTASY MIGHT WIND UP TAKING A BACK SEAT TO THE PLAYER POWER — AT LEAST FOR SOME.
THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT JUST BEING FINE ISN’T EXCITING. WHY SHOULD A GUARDIAN DRUID GET HYPED OVER DRUID OF THE CLAW, LAST I CHECKED GUARDIAN DRUIDS ALREADY HAD CLAWS. THEY DON’T NEED CLAWS+ THEY NEED TO HARNESS THE ALL-CONSUMING FIRE AND BURN THEIR ENEMIES TO ASH.
LET THE WORLD LIE IN CINDERS BEFORE THEIR MIGHT.
QftQ: Delicate Jade Parasol–viable alternative to goblin gliders or no?
PALTRY MORTAL, YOUR LACK OF WINGS PROVES THAT YOU’RE UNWORTHY FOR THIS WORLD.
AT LEAST THE GOBLINS HAVE SPENT THEIR TIME OVERCOMING THEIR LIMITATIONS. TO THINK THAT ANYTHING AS SIMPLE AS A PARASOL COULD COMPARE TO THEIR GLIDERS IS ABSURD. NOTHING WILL EVER COMPARE TO MY MIGHTY WINGSPAN BUT THEY HAVE CREATED AN ACCEPTABLE COMPROMISE.
IF YOU STILL WANT TO SEARCH OUT ONE OF THESE FLIMSY UMBRELLAS FOR YOUR GRAVITY-DEFYING NEEDS AND DON’T WANT TO SPEND TRADERS’ TENDER YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE REVENDRETH IN THE SHADOWLANDS. THERE ARE SEVERAL THERE THAT YOU CAN GET.
QftTransmogQ: What’s the primary focus of your outfit/appearance?
I was thinking about this after talking about the nice Sith dual lightsaber below. I’m fine with her in whatever robes she’s in, as long as they’re not terrible, but using something other than the nice Sith Apprentice Dual Lightsaber was just annoying.
As long as the rest of the outfit is okay and not stupid looking, my main focus for transmog is the weapon, since that’s honestly the most really visible part for my typical 2h wielding character (barring my rogue, since she uses daggers).
WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE. LET YOUR FASHION BE UNCHAINED AND BLAZE YOUR WAY FORWARD NO MATTER WHAT IT IS.
A WEAPON IS A GOOD CHOICE TO START WITH, BUT CONSIDER PICKING A DIFFERENT THING TO BUILD YOUR LOOKS AROUND. A FEELING, A TEMPTATION, THE INESCAPABLE PULL TOWARDS THE END OF ALL THINGS — THEN LET THAT GUIDE YOU TOWARDS THAT GOAL.
AS LONG AS YOU KEEP CONSISTENT AND FEEL GLORIOUS IN YOUR UNBREAKABLE ARMOR YOU SHALL PREVAIL OVER THE ANTS THAT SEEK TO TEAR YOU DOWN.
They need to get this sharding thing under control. Was in a group last night to kill Aurostor, and he disappeared three (3!) times in the middle of the fight as we were sharded and a new one instantly showed up.
MY ESSENCE IS TOO POWERFUL TO BE CONTAINED TO JUST A SINGLE PLANE OF EXISTENCE! ALL WORLDS SHALL TREMBLE BEFORE DEATHWING THE DESTROYER!
FOR EVERYONE ELSE THEY SHOULD STICK TO A ONE PLANE OF EXISTENCE, A FEW AT MOST. THEY CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT GO HOPPING RANDOMLY BETWEEN THEM, INTENTION IS KEY. IT USED TO BE THAT COMBAT ANCHORED YOU TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME HOLD ON YOU AS IT ONCE DID. I’M NOT SURE WHY THE UNIVERSE IS FRAYING MORE AROUND THESE EDGES THESE DAYS BUT AS I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT — I’M FERVENTLY AGAINST IT.
Late Q4tQ: Deathwing vs. Godzilla.
A BREAKER OF CITIES IS AN UNWORTHY FOE. HOW CAN THEY HOPE TO PREVAIL AGAINST DEATHWING THE SUNDERER OF WORLDS AND THE BRINGER OF THE CATACLYSM! WATCH HOW THE LESSER BEINGS QUAKE IN FEAR UNDERNEATH MY SHADOW!
AS ANOTHER GREAT DRAGON ONCE SAID:
“My armor is like tenfold shields.
My teeth like swords.
My claws, spears.
The shock of my tail, a thunderbolt.
My wings, a hurricane.
And my breath, death.”
AND THIS DRAGON DIDN’T EVEN UNMAKE THEIR WORLD, THEY BARELY CRUSHED ONE PITIFUL LITTLE TOWN BEFORE THEM. I AM THE BRINGER OF THE HOUR OF TWILIGHT AND ALL SHALL BE ASH BEFORE ME. AN UNWINGED LIZARD CAN’T HOPE TO STAND AGAINST ME, EVEN WITH THEIR FORMIDABLE BREATH.
NOW HERE IS ANOTHER CREATURE THAT IS AS REGAL AS I AM. HIS CLAWS COULD UNMAKE THE WORLD OR AT LEAST THE COUCH HE’S SITTING ON. PAY HIM THE PROPER OBEDIENCE AND MAYBE HE’LL SEE FIT TO REWARD YOU WITH GREAT TREASURES.
TODAY’S ANNA EARWORM™: SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION
NOW YOU PITIFUL MORTALS KNOW REAL POWER. IF YOU FAIL TO LEAVE ANNA QUESTIONS FOR TOMORROW I WILL RETURN TO FINISH THE BREAKING OF THE WORLD.
