It finally happened!  After months and months of putting it off and hem-hawing about it, I finally got my paladin to 80 and she is on her way to be uber geared Kyralee my Human Paladin that I created way back in the day, hit 80 on the 12th of March.  I immediately started tanking with her   That is what she was created for.  Since then, I have gone through probably 5 sets of gear changes, and I am currently almost all in T9 gear. I still just need to replace her Belt, and two Trinkets and she will be super fantastic as a tanking machine.  Once she is decked out in Tank gear, we will then respec her into a Heal spec as well.

I have to say, I love my hunter, Catianna, she is my baby, but dammit, Tanking is fun

So, with Kyra in place as a tank, and Cat as a Dps machine, the next thing I need is a caster/raid healer.  I have a Shaman and a druid I have been tinkering with, the question is…do I have the patience to level them all the way to 80 and gear them out again?  Only time will tell, and that is something that is sparse with two 80′s, I can’t imagine having 3 O.o…

Happy Gaming ya’ll!

Valentine’s Day weekend on WoW was a great Success!

Got my title of Elder by completing the achievements for To Honor One’s Elders, which gets me one step closer to my What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been achievement and my Reins of the Violet Proto Drake, which is an addition to my collection of Drake mounts . All I have left now, is For The Children and I am done with all the holidays!

I also successfully ran an AQ40 downing the Twins on the first try ! Then yesterday, I finally got an achievement that I have been wanting for a while. We successfully downed Illidan Stormrage to get the Achievement for The Black Temple. All in all a very successful weekend…well errr four day weekend.

Looking forward to hopefully getting Malygos in The Eye of Eternity for my Champion of the Frozen Wastes. Small steps, right? This will be the 10th or 12th time to try it on Friday, everyone cross your fingers!

So, WoW’ers, until next time!

Happy Gaming!

Ever just wanna create a toon…just to create a toon?

Meet my Shaman, her name is Mytailforu

[wowcd character="Mytailforu"]

She is my newest toon, and I am learning about tailoring and enchanting with her.  She is mighty cute   I love the Dranaei, they are fun to play

I am steadily working toward getting all my totems, and making her a shamantic beast

Stay tuned, there is more to come from this toon.

Happy gaming!!

Let me introduce you to my rogue, yes a rogue, and not just any rogue a pink haired gnome rogue

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to….Sneakypinky

[wowcd character="sneakypinky"]

She is hell on wheels…so to speak..he he he.

I am steadily working with her, between Cat, and Kyra, I squeeze in some play time with her

So, her name, I get much crap about it.  I named her sneakypinky because she is a rogue with pink pigtails, and the guys in the guild immediately went another direction with her name, and she gets ‘affectionately’ called…Stinkfinger.  So, beware the Sneakypinky, she is short, deadly and well…pink haired

Kyralee is my paladin I rolled several months ago. My goal when I created her, was to make her a tank. I abandoned her for a while, because I got caught up in gearing my main toon Catianna. Over the past month, I have been focusing on my Pally again. I had a friend Pipesadin who helped me set up Kyra’s DPS Ret Spec, and I have been just soaring through the Outlands and Northrend. Meanwhile, with Cat, I have been saving up gold to get Kyra’s Duel Talent Spec, and I sent that over to Kyra last night.

As I sat there, I pondered what I really wanted to do. Did I really want to tank, or did I want to heal? I wanted to keep my dps spec, due to still needing to level to 80. I decided to spec Tank and DPS for the time. I grabbed a one-handed weapon and a shield, and tried to set up a rotation. Then a guild member Melvinh helped me initiate myself to tanking, the proper way. We queued up for Utgarde Keep and I walked into my first official tank instance.

So, I have been in this instance more than my fair share with Cat, I love this place! Walking in there as Kyra though, I looked at it completely different. I have seen this instance tanked by good tanks, and bad tanks, my fear was being a bad tank. Melvinh and I pugged the other three members of the party. I was very nervous as I entered the instance.  Looking at UK from a ranged perspective is a bit different than looking at it from a tank perspective.  Everything seems more menacing from that aspect.  I gingerly worked my way through the Keep, with a little help from Melvinh, and some great heals from our healer (this was her first time to heal an instance) we made it through to the last boss, and of course I had to get a killing blow from the boss at the last second before he died.  I did it though!  I tanked the instance with lots of help

Now, the question is…do I want to continue to be a tank?  I think I do, but only more tanking runs will help me get to that all important place of not being scared to tank, due to fear of being a bad tank.

Happy Gaming ya’ll!!

Welcome to the New Year everyone!

I had an eventful weekend on WoW.  We had our Guild Alliance Fun Run on New Year’s Day, it was hosted by Memento Vivere, and The Cat Box and the Alfa Squirrels were participants in the run.  I am currently going through videos of the run, to hopefully post up to the sites soon.  After the run, we played a couple of games of dodge ball and just had fun chatting on vent with each other, and having a good time

We ended the evening with a wild hair on my part.  I decided it was time….time for what you ask?  Well, time to become a pirate of course…err so to speak.

While standing in the park in Stormwind, and hanging around after dinner, I was sitting there looking at several people standing around me…with a title I didn’t have.  The title of Bloodsail Admiral.  I got to thinking, and the wheels in my head started turning, and then my mouth started moving, and the next thing I knew, I was headed to the Stormwind flightpath, on my way to Booty Bay to wage war on the Steamwheedle Cartel.  I pulled up my hard earned Honored reputation with the Steemwheedle Cartel, and placed a check in my at war, and then began the grinding with several others who wanted the title as well.   I don’t think I have ever grinded so much reputation at one time.   I went from Honored with Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, Everlook, and Ratchet to completely hated, and then moved up in the reputation for Bloodsail Buccaneers.  After 5 hours of grinding rep, I finally was able to run over to Fleet Master Firallon and grab the quest that changed everything about my hunter.  I earned the acheivement of Avast Ye, Admiral and got the title of Bloodsail Admiral Catianna

Now my goal is to get Insane in the Membrane which will require a whole lot of grinding, not only with the Steamwheedle cartel but with the Darkmoon Faire and Ravenholdt and Shen’dralar. So, I say…Let the grinding begin

So, as you run all over the world, if you happen across The Vek’nilash server and see a wild and crazy hunter by the name of Catianna out killing lowbie mobs, well tip your hat to her and bid her well, she has a helluva long rep grind ahead of her.

Happy gaming ya’ll!

Howdy WoWer’s!

An update on the Cat Box and our guild alliance Amicita per Fiducia, we are holding our first official Rat Race.  Yes, folks, I said a Rat Race.  What is this Rat Race I speak of?  Well, in a short and condensed description it is basically this:

1. Level 10 toons racing to a goal.

2. Said goal takes you through treacherous regions for said level 10 toons.

3. Death is a given

4. Prizes are given

5. Purpose is to test your mettle against others to reach the goal.

Are you the best level 10 player out there and can avoid dieing against level 30-40 mobs?  Can you outwit, outlast, and outrun the others around you?  Well if you can…then this race is definately for you

We have had a test run for this already, and it was a lot of fun and a blast talking with the other players as they ran the course   We are changing it up, and at the end we are going to hold a few ‘special events’ after.  This is to celebrate the new year and to increase the social activities between guilds.  Maybe one day we can eventually open this up server wide, and include people from all over.

I really hope that the event turns out well, and that we all have a great time..I know I will

Hugs and Kisses from your loving Guild Mom Cat!

Well Hello everyone!

Just thought I would share with everyone, the changes I am making in my WoW world.

It’s been almost a month now, that The Cat Box has been alive   We are up to over 70 members and are still growing.

I recently incorporated some changes to the guild plan and layout, and I think that it is for the best.

No offense to my guildmates, running a levelling guild is fun, and seeing all the lower level peeps move up the levels in WoW is exciting!  I think though, that it’s time for Cat, the Guild Mom, to become Cat- the Guild Master.  I think I should explain a bit.

Over the past two weeks, I have had a couple of my level 80′s in the guild leave.  Why?  Because we weren’t RAIDing enough and trying to get into the more complex instances.  It’s kind of hard to do that, when you don’t have enough people in the guild that can run.  It’s also kind of tricky to just pull people into the guild that you don’t know anything about, and hope that they can run with the best of your guildies.  Sure, you can RAID and PuG it, but why when you can develop and integrate a great RAIDing group from your own guild, and those trusted people you know from other guilds.  After the ‘slap in the face’ of the fact that I was pretty much keeping the role of ‘Mom’ and I mean this lovingly, and not a Raider…well, it got me to thinking.

I have great players in my guild, they range from lower levels up to the 80′s in the guild.  I have watched a lot of these people grow over the past several months, several of them came over from unbreakable, and I know that they want to move onward and upward as well.  All of this played into my plans for changing up The Cat Box.

What are these changes, you may ask?

Well, I am only taking applications for entrance into the guild unless someone I run with in a heroic or dungeons asks to join.  I have changed the ranks of the guild to reflect the new RAIDing aspect.  I have introduced a RAID leader as well.  He is in charge of putting the RAIDs together and making sure he knows the fights and can explain them to the RAIDers.  I am looking into eventually implementing a DKP point system   I am in no way removing any lower levels from my guild.  They are here to level until they are ready to RAID.

I am ready to RAID!  I want to move into the end of content RAIDs and Instances, that is why I am playing the game..right?  To get to where I can run and play with those people that I have grown to know over the past year.  I think that we are on our way here in The Cat Box, we ran a full clear of Naxx 10 on Saturday night, it was awesome, and out of all 4 quearters, we only had 4 wipes I believe   Kudos out to my Raid Leader and his awesome job!

I hope that we can get to the point to where people will know the name “The Cat Box”, not jsut because of the name, but because of the people behind the name

I will keep you up to date on the lastest information on The Cat Box.

Stay Tuned!!

Wow…never knew that a game could be sooo drama ridden O.o

So…from previous posts you know that I was Guild Mom of the guild [guild]unbreakable[/guild]…right?  Well that changed twice this weekend O.O  Yes, I said twice!  There was a bit up an issue on Saturday night into Sunday morning….and well we thought we had it all worked out…apparently not.  So, this morning, we went through it all again.  So, without further ado, I created “[guild]The Cat Box[/guild]“  a casual raiding/leveling guild.  I brought quite a few of [guild]unbreakable[/guild] with me, proving that the unbreakable, can be broken.  The thing that worries me about this, is the fact that the previous GM of [guild]unbreakable[/guild] and I, I thought were good friends and could handle anything together… Guess not.

So, yes, I am a Guild Mom once again, and had a helluva weekend trying to get it all straightened out.  I do have to say, that with [guild]The Cat Box[/guild], only being a little over 12 hours old…we have almost 40 toons already

I love  all my guildies!!

Howdy WoW Readers!

I experienced a strange set of emotions this weekend.  Some of you are not aware of the fact that Catianna has been holding down the fort in our guild,unbreakable.  Our GM Gwar has been gone for a couple of months, so being the good person I am with the Rank of WarMaster, which is assistant GM, I kinda stood up and took control of the guild while he was gone.  This seemed like an honor to me, the few times I talked with him, I would let him know I was holding down the fort, and he seemed fine with that.

Well, he came back this weekend   I was ever so glad to see him come back to us!  We all welcomed him back, and let him know how happy we were to have him back.

So, I get ahead of myself here.  Over the last two weeks or so, I have been debating with myself whether or not I wanted to take Cat out of unbreakable, and try to start a guild on my own, and be a sister guild to unbreakable.  So, after Gwar coming back on Sunday.  I told myself that I was going to try and talk to Gwar the next time he logged on.  Monday night, Gwar logged in, and I proceeded to let him know what I wanted to do.

I told him that I have enjoyed standing in over the last couple of months, and that I was considering taking Cat out of the guild and creating a sister guild to unbreakable.  He asked me why I would leave?  I said, well I wanted to start a guild with Cat.  He then asked me why I didn’t jsut take over unbreakable?  I told him that it was his guild and that I didn’t want to take his guild from him.

He then passed leadership to me.  I told him no!  He didn’t take no for an answer.  Well after mucha ado from the guildies, I am still in a lot of shock and awe.  The guildies over the past month or so, have started to ‘lovingly’ call me Guild Mom.  So, I am now the Guild Mom of unbreakable.  I am very willing to give it back to Gwar at any point in time that he wants it back.

I have some doubts, especially after he pulled one of his alts out of the guild last night.  I never wanted to take anything from anyone.  I just wanted to branch out and try and do something different.

Only time will tell as to what will become of Cat and unbreakable.  Hopefully it waill all turn out well, and I didn’t lose a good friend and a great player.

We shall see….
