Chronicles of Raivyne, Rogue of Thunderhorn

Written by a slightly whacky (i'm not nutso, the dr said so!) rogue. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with me. IRL I'm very mild mannered... like Clark Kent.

...

Still working on a hemo v. ss comparison (been busy at work, where most of my genius happens...)

After that i'll be crunching SnD and Evis numbers (thanks to a friend for shaking his finger at me for NOT using SnD; thus prompting me to investigate it's merit further).

A rogue's work is never done.

Blood Clot

I am happy to announce that on Thursday, August 31st, after two whole days, the bleeding has stopped!

So what if I wasted 95g?

The Story:

On Tuesday night in MC, I hated Hemo. Call me egotistical if you want, but I just couldn’t stand not out-damaging people. Granted I’m not #1 on the damage meters anyway – I don’t have the gear for that, but I just couldn’t handle #10ish. Yeah, /wrists… I know, I know.

Anyway, I went into Tuesday’s MC raid prepared for my new role as a utility class. I was really having a crummy day all around anyway, so I was a bit downhearted about it. Things perked up when Garr dropped a nice, shiny Brutality Blade though! A warrior and another rogue also rolled for it. The warrior almost immediately passed it to me (<3)… the dagger rogue almost took it…

Almost…

I almost stabbed him in the eyeballs and ripped his throat out.

Almost.

I did manage to restrain my angst and just type a mere “G-D it!” (/gasp!) I don’t say GD often.

Lucky for me, he too decided to pass. I’m not sure what prompted him to pass, as he had already been congratulated and told me sorry… I am thankful all the same.

I was as giddy as a schoolgirl with a new dress! My Nelf toon was flipping around for the rest of the night, non-stop. All the while there was a nagging question in my head that just wouldn’t stop repeating itself…

I wonder how hard I can hit stuff now…

Followed by the **spuelch** sound each time I mashed my “Sinister Strike” key…

Day…
…yam

You see, I like to hit stuff. The harder I hit it, the better I feel. I do love the sound effect for Hemo though… It sounds like you just opened a few vital organs. Unfortunately, its bark is better than its bite.

The next day I headed to BWL only to find out that one of our top two damagers left the guild. He took a huge chunk of damage with him when he went… making the lack of damage I was doing even more prominent in my mind.

After the raid, I spec’d back to my beloved Combat Swords. I kept the same Combat Sword spec from the freebee, with one change… I dropped Endurance to fill out aggression. Now I’m back up on the damage meters (even with my constant disconnects… I hate you blizzard!!).

I’m a happy rogue.
