BWD: The Elevator Boss

Posted by Amber Teasdale in Amber Tries To Be Helpful, Short 'N Sweet Strats on February 23, 2011

Don’t mock me for writing this strat. The Elevator Boss has claimed many lives, including several members of SiB. It may have even claimed some of them more than once.

Tips and Tricks:

As I discovered personally, the engineer’s habit of reaching for his parachute in times of crisis will not serve you well here. While it’s true you will not splatter on the ground, you will slowly…casually…glide right into the lava. Where you will die. And you will not be able to be rezzed by a snickering guildie and you will have to run your arse right back into the instance to brave the elevator again. I can only imagine that levitate or slowfall will have the same result without perfect timing.

Trying to heroic leap off the elevator early to show off how awesome you are will, more often than not, result in you making an awesome blood smear. Right Pix?

For the highest chance of not dying, stop on the edge of the elevator platform and wait patiently. Do not tab out–this is not a dawdling elevator. By the time you belatedly look over from your 2nd monitor and 4chan to realize that it’s there, you will wander off the edge only to find that it has already left. Wait and run onto the platform as soon as you see it, especially if you’re laggy.

Levitating someone else to make them float into the lava pit/splatter is cruel. Hilarious, but cruel. Lifegrip can also be abused in amusing ways, proving that priests are OP and need to be nerfed.

Someone else with more forethought than I was kind enough to provide images for this tough boss encounter! You can find them here. Or here, here, and here if the WoW forums are blocked but you can see imageshack.

Remember, avoiding higher repair bills can be as good as loot!

adventures in floor tanking, Amber is a dork, I r teh fail, PIXIE STIX, the real point of engineering is to provide you with more ways to die, this post needs more tags

“Also include a bonus prize of +1 internets for anyone who deciphers the fine print.”

Pixie: nope. you wanna play, you figure it out on your own.
me: I CANT READ THAT SMALL
Pixie: Guess you’ll just have to make use of some other tools then. ^_^

Why I Continue to Play

Posted by Amber Teasdale in Stuff and Things on June 1, 2010

I am definitely someone who plays for the people, not the purples. I have dragged many of my WoW-friendships outside of the game–onto Twitter, onto gtalk, into IRL. We do talk about the game a lot, but sometimes we have rather heated debates over mundane topics. Like, oh, salad dressing.

Pixelated Executioner: …but other than caesar, there is no dressing more wonderful than blue cheese. MY BUFFALO WINGS MUST BE TREATED TO THE BEST, DAMMIT.
Me: …
RANCH
RANCH IS THE ONE AND ONLY GOD OF DRESSINGS
Pixelated: BLASPHEMER! YOU WILL BURN FOR ALL ETERNITY! TURN, FOUL HERETIC! TURN!!!!

Life is better with CAPS OF (FAUX) RAEG. My life would be a lot more boring without these nutty WoW people in it.

The biggest shame is not recording the 3 am vent conversation about the state of Evee’s testicles…

anything you say can and will be used against you in a blog post, OT, PIXIE STIX, ramble, you are entitled to your opinion but clearly your opinion is less right than mine
