Ok, i know i haven’t posted much this month and really…come on…I’m sorry 
But i do have some thoughts on some articles coming up that i think i’ll be writing soon.
Until then here are some screenies from this week =)
Psyler gives new meaning to roasting some basilisk
and…
A girl and her dragon
NO REALLY! I WILL POST!

Hehe! Rage Winterchill damage meter last night! I guess destruction really is pretty stinkin awesome! Really levi would have beat me. I think he had to hold back a lot and i had Tremoraid lending me his uber totems….hardly fair i guess lol.
So…top on damage done 
And….top on DPS! 1500!! Holy Crap!!!
I loves it when i’m full of win =)
I’m sure as always that i’m late to dinner on this one but a couple of my guildies were auditing their toons on Be Imba! so i thought i’d give psy an audit and see how she does.
I’ve always been curios about sites like these but i think the last one i tried was buggy and would only do toons on euro servers 
So i entered my character realm info and clicked the query button and apparently this is a very popular site because i can’t get past the maxed out wait queue 0.o!
Really though the wait queue goes pretty fast once you get in and after really only a few minutes psy’s report popped out and it looked like this…
What does this mean?!!!!
I need 3 more spell hit duh
The PVE gear score basically is telling you which instances you should be able to perform well in….I am almost sunwell material apparently.
Here’s a breakdown for you:
Kara: ~110 (roughly a full gear of level 115 blue items (for start))
Mag+Gruul: ~170 (roughly geared with level 115 epics)
ZA: no set value, slightly tuned to be between Mag/Gruul and later stages of SSC/TK
SSC+TK: ~180 (roughly geared with level 120-128 epics (scaling between entry bosses and more complex bosses))
BT+MH: ~200 (geared with 128+ epics)
Sunwell: ~230 (geared with 141+ epics)
The Gear-o-Meter is basically just a visual…the red line is where you next upgrades will come from and the blue line is instances where you will perform well in the gear that is currently equipped.
PvP and PvE are scored separately.
SOOO, my conclusion about all this? I think it didn’t really tell me anything i didn’t know. It’s kinda a fun resource but not really that useful for me since i spend a large majority of the day researching gear and upgrades and what not for psy anyway. (pssst i know i need 3 more spell hit).
One use for it i just thought of is possibly recruiting resource for raiding guilds…it can be a quick check for prospective applicants to get a rough idea of where they’re gear is and if there are any prospective problems with it. i probably wouldn’t use it for in depth evaluation but as a guideline for how well they should be able to perform in said raid or instance…interesting, lol.
Well thanks for joining me on my fun adventure with Be Imba! see you all laters!

So a couple days ago the numbers of people visiting my blog just about skyrocketed and really that could only mean one thing….Jag is back and blogging again 0.0
Holy Freakin…Cow!?
Not only is he back but boy does he lead off with a doozy of a post sparking controversy where ever he goes and advocating for Warlocks everywhere =)
Good to see you back Jagoex!
<3 psy
p.s. i only steal your pictures when i’m writing about you 
Q. Am i still even qualified to care or comment on the state of the affliction lock changes since switching to the shadow bolt spam loving destro spec?
A. Not really but i’m going to anyway sucka’s.
Honestly i’m not a big patch note commentator. There are a lot of warlocks and Warcraft players in general who have more educated and informed things to say about all the changes that come out so generally i shy away from adding my 2 cents in.
That all said….I have an opinion =) /joy
Pouring over all the blogs for today i was trying to get a general feel for how other warlocks were reacting to Curse of Shadows being wrapped into Curse of Elements essentially eliminating the need to have both curse up at all times. There are some really good points to this, as my good friend russ/cruci pointed out, which includes cutting down on the micro management of curses between locks during raids and allowing CoA to have more up time increasing raid DPS by a marginal amount.
Sounds awesome and i am so onboard but i can’t help but feel that it also reduces the need to have as many affliction locks present at the raid and this is where i am feeling torn.
I love diversity and i think by limiting the overall need/usefulness of a certain spec you are in danger of losing diversity and pigeon holing people into speccing a certain way because it is the most efficient damage dealing spec.
Maybe this is not a bad thing and i certainly love my destruction spec right now but i also really loved being affliction and that playstyle was a blast.
All in all i’m just feeling a little uneasy for affliction locks everywhere. Maybe completely unfounded…maybe a little paranoid…maybe 0.o
<3 psy
I carefully saved all my badges for a month, did all my research on which gems and gear are best for starting out, hoped for good drops to help ro
und it out (which never happened, lol) and lived on Chardev playing my character like a barbie doll swapping out outfits and mixing and matching gems and enchants.
Finally i was at a point where, give or take a few stats, i could conceivably, possibly, maybe be the uber DPS machine that i wanted to be. SO i made the plunge and what did i learn?….
AGGRO COMES TO THOSE WHO DON’T WAIT -.-
The playstyle of destruction is much much different then affliction.
What does this all mean you ask?!!
It means i have to make major changes in the way i approach my class. Mana is now and issue to be dealt with - tapping will be a must. How often and when will be something i’ll try to feel out.
I had to think about how to rewrite my trinket macros since i’m not using dots anymore and they were all bound to those. My solution was to go ahead and throw Immolate into my spell rotation strictly for popping my 2min CD trinket. It probably isn’t going to add much of a damage boost but at least i won’t have to think about popping my trinket so much.
I require a lot more shards since sacking succy is sucking up all my shards.
And the big one is the aggro i now generate is insane. Big revelation on that…good things come to those who wait. Also i’m using a lot of soulshatter which was successful for not killing me exactly once last night (another shard sucker)
so recap, less mana, more shards, more attention to aggro meter = Super Uber Psy…errr…
love you guys,
psy
I need to write a real post sometime soon
For now i just thought this was really cute… gummy, cuppy’s diablo, and moarag =)
Gummy obviously is my favorite with cuppy’s diablo coming in a close 2nd.
<3 you gummy!
psy
I got it and i didn’t even have to work hard for it. Just fear a little and stay out of the spouts.
<3 my life.
=)
Psy’s new nemesis: The gargoyles of Mount Hyjal -.- 
Truly i exhibited an amazing mix of FAIL and WIN last night.
Boss DPS - Psy so Fly
Gargoyle trash - You can just mark me with a big “L” for LOSER!
Crucifixated/Russ really tried his best to keep me alive and i was doing my best to die in a shadowy FAIL bolt. Actually several of them probably all at the same time.
You can guess what happens next - Psychonia has been Eliminated
Now the long long oh so long run back into the instance…boo.
But you know me it doesn’t stop there. That scenario played itself out an additional 3-4 more times. I spent the entire second half of the night running from the graveyard to the instance over and over. *squeal* *clap* fun fun.
So Russ, Joe, and Panda you all get shout-outs,
Panda, danke for being kind enough to point out that we had 4 gargoyle grabbers and i really don’t need to try and get them all 0.o
Russ you are amazing. Thank you for being patient and encouraging while trying to heal a hopeless lock
Joe, thank you for laughing at me. That made me feel a lot better….No really >.<
yours,
psy
From time to time i like to do a google search on myself and today as i was sifting through all the search results for psychonia i came across a sight that had a very interesting description of a land called “Psychonia”.
Here’s my favorite part:
“It is generally a very happy place to be if you don’t care for stability, but you value freedom and humor above other things. There are very few if any rules to life in Psychonia and the myriad of insane people and creatures that dwell there are very content to remain so.”
It was such a perfect description of my own psy self that i had to share =)
I guess this site is a writer’s co-op for kids and teens. What a great idea! Here’s the link to the full Psychonia description and i strongly encourage you to check out the rest of the site. It’s chock full of creativity budding from young minds. Look what i got out of it! =)
