The Queue: I guess my Paladin is fake

On Friday Liz showed us a picture of what a real Paladin looks like. Mine doesn’t look like that though, so I guess it must be fake! Does that mean it’s a Warrior in disguise? Three Gnolls in a suit of armor?

The answers have eluded me all weekend. What am I?!!

The Queue: Amirdrassil, more like Achieve-drassil, amirite?

My raid ran into the toughest boss last night, the attendance boss, so we called an audible and cleared all of the Glory of the Dream Raider achievements. There was a good batch this time, nothing that was really all on one person to execute flawlessly, and certainly, nothing that involved us getting bounced up into the air and having to collect an orb before it landed. Larodar and the Council both even gave us an extra pet for our trouble!

I will say that I’m a little sad the mount for the achievement isn’t flashier. I guess there’s something to be said for that a giant saber-toothed cat with glowy purple energy coming off of it isn’t flashy, but if it really wanted me to be super excited it should’ve had a pair of wings! I mean that’s what my dream mount would have, so why can’t this one?!

The Queue: I don’t know what we’re yelling about

Even World of Warcraft got in on the fun last night from the Super Bowl!

Although at this point I have no idea what is happening in the original moment and at this point I’m too afraid to ask. So until then, I guess I’m just wondering what everyone’s yelling about!

Is it lamp?

The Queue: What an excellent owl

This is an excellent owl model. I’m very glad that I get to spend some of the time flying around looking pretty similar to it. Even if I’ll likely never get the actual fire form unlocked unless I get very lucky in a future expansion.

Maybe excellent isn’t the right word for it. I’m sure that there’s another word for this owl that is similar to excellent, but maybe starts with an s.

While I ponder that, it’s time for — The Queue!


The Queue: No one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Cory

That’s probably the biggest reason why I haven’t turned to a life of piracy on the high seas.

Also up there is a lack of a band of buccaneers including a master swordsman and a giant. Do you know how hard it is to find a pair like that? They’re one in a million for sure. Also, have you seen what the upkeep on a three-masted schooner is? I feel like every bit of booty I collected would probably just go back into the ship! Otherwise, it’d probably be crawling with rodents of above-average sizes.

The Queue: Staying warm, but not too warm

Oh boy, I have had a doozy of a week. I had to be the boss at work and that meant that I sadly could not write my Queue last week, but let’s give a nice big shout-out to Liz Patt who aced it! Luckily I was able to sneak in a raid and we’ve managed to get through Mythic Volcoross!  3/9 Mythic bosses down now, on to the Council!

Volcoross is another of those bosses that I feel like I should be able to skin, but can’t for some reason. If I can skin a Core Hound, why can’t I skin a giant lava snake?! They could’ve made it another source of Obsidian Cobraskin, especially since the Legendary Axe needs a bunch. I still can’t believe that only one creature supplies it and it’s so important for Mail wearers.

While I go and get my daily Elusive Cobra kill in, it’s time for — The Queue!
