Thanks to Wow.com for this video of the new Toxic Wasteling Pet, not to be confused with the Disgusting Oozeling Pet.  The toxic wasteling pet is an all new vanity pet added this year for the Love is in the Air holiday in Warcraft and is a random drop from the new boss Apothecary Hummel who has taking up residence in Shadowfang Keep for the duration of the holiday.   For more info on the boss and how to beat him, along with all his loot drops check out our posting on him, Love is in the air again! Oh and be sure not to let your Wasteling feed, or you might just get the results you see in the video…

Yay new K’s Grab Bag, our very own web comic by the tallented and lovely Kelly!  Everyone please leave your comments on this post to let her know how much we love her work she does or hit her up on the K’s Grab Bag Myspace Page.  Also Digging us is cool to ;p

Love is in the air again in the World of Warcraft, and that means tons of achievements to be had by all, not to mention some fat lewts by the seasonal boss Apothecary Hummel who has taken up residence inside of Shadowfang Keep in Tristfall Glades. Closest road there is to take the flight path to Southshore and hang a left on the road till you get there. No worries though because the summoning stone is up and running for all levels for the duration of the Holiday.

This boss is a new boss this year and is a standard heroic level 82 elite boss.  I pugged a group in minutes, and once was there grabed the daily quest to kill him from the goblin inside the instance. Killing him will get you the holiday achievement Tough Love.  He asks you to serve Court Subpoena to the boss and gives you a package containing said subpena along with two potions, Perfume Neutralizer, Cologne Neutralizer, both of which you use during the fight to stop the poison damage.  Other than poping the potions to stop the AOE damage, there is a bit of crowd control for the adds but they aren’t tough.  Mostly its a tank and spank and I had no trouble healing it, just make sure to keep your hots up incase someone in group forgets to pop their potion on time because the poisons will tick off some heavy damage.  The following is the loot list…even a super epic new Flying Mount!

Apothecary Hummel drops epic quality (item level 226) amulets which are the equivalent of Wrath of the Lich King’s second tier Emblem of Conquest neckpieces.

• Winking Eye of Love (Frozen Tear of Elune)
• Heartbreak Charm (Evoker’s Charm)
• Shard of Pirouetting Happiness (Shard of the Crystal Forest)
• Sweet Perfume Broach (Broach of the Wailing Night)
• Choker of the Pure Heart (Spiked Battleguard Choker)

Apothecary Hummel also drops some fun seasonal items, including a fancy rose for your character’s hair, a gas mask (YES!), a non-combat oozeling companion, and an item so powerful it can break your heart!

• Forever-Lovely Rose
• Vile Fumigator’s Mask
• Toxic Wasteling
• The Heartbreaker

As if those things were cool enough, Apothecary Hummel also has an extremely low chance to drop the most stylish flying mount ever – the Big Love Rocket! Nah..no innuendo there…

So get out there, down that boss and have fun with the holiday.  Oh and send me any screenshots if you manage to get the new mount, I’ll post it on the site and give your credit for your epic win!  Ronne@worldofweirdcraft.net

Ok I stay behind the curve on most things and I just found out about The Guild, a hugely popular online web series starting Felicia Day.  Midway through season 2 on youtube they had this video, which along with being funny, its just catchy.  Also Felicia Day is my new web crush, and I’m sure she won’t mind me camping out in her bushes for a few days….

Anyways if you haven’t seen or heard of the guild, this video is just the doorway, check out the webisodes for the rest of The Guild and laugh your ass off enjoy.

Have you hugged a healer lately?  Its not an easy task we take on, bearing half the burden of a group on our backs, making sure everyone stays alive and happy, being the thing that makes or breaks a raid.  Being blamed for wipes and seeing the tank thanked for success.

A pattern is becoming more and more clear the more raids and instances I heal, that that is powering through as fast as possible. Often times the tank just goes, pull after pull, not stopping, not slowing down, often grabbing more than should be possible.  Sure they may have a Gearscore of 5.5k…but that doesn’t always mean the heals are any easier.  Running out of mana is still a real concern for healers and having a tank that doesn’t appreciate our sitting down to drink before a boss can be tough. I suggest being mindfull of who your healer is.  If you have a pally healer remember, they do not have AOE heals, they rely on fast flash heals on single targets, so if your group gets into a situation where the group is taking large damage, it can put a major stress mr pally power single target healing groups. Druids and Shammys may have it easy with chain heals and healing wind and such for group heals, don’t have as big of single target spot heals, so watch out for taking bit hits.

Its not that I’m blaming tanks or making excuses for poor heals, fact is I have played both.  I just want people to have a little insight into how much work and stress healing can be, and to have a little consideration.  So please tanks, hug your healer and thank them for the work they do to keep you alive.  DPS…well..you keep doing what ever it is DPS does but always remember, without your healer your group goes no where.

GuildOx reports that Paragon, from the European Lightning’s Blade realm, has defeated the Lich King and acquired the Frozen Throne achievement. While well-known guild Ensidia had defeated him yesterday on 25-man difficulty, they also employed some dubious techniques to win and later paid the price for it by having their loot and achievements removed.

Paragon, on the other hand, appears to have completed the encounter in an exploit-free manner and, according to MMO-Champion’s Boubouille, did it on their first try. Congratulations go out to Paragon on their clean kill. Now let’s see some of those heroic achievements!
