This Really Was Kind of Important
Holy Crud, the Running of Da Bulls for Sharvan is tomorrow!! We expect you there, ya know. /glare
You have donated $127 for Sharvan, much gracias. If you haven’t contributed a dollar, please consider doing so. We get 6000 readers per day; we’d love to hit $500 by race time.
The BRK Non-WoW Thought of the Day: If you want us to order lunch from your restaurant, keep your best selling items in stock. Telling us every week that you’re out of tostones makes us order from the Chinese restaurant next door, and they give us free eggrolls. Free, foshizzle!
“Dear BRK, so WTF, where’s _________? Angry readers everywhere want to know. Your friends, the Angry Readers.”
OK, so you see… there was this thing we had to do, it was kinda important. Sort of. But the result was that we didn’t finish our movie, our macro post, or the shot-rotation thingy at Dr. Boom. Saturday we have to do some yard work, so that’s going to pie our type as well.
If someone volunteers to prune our Washingtonians, we could do some warcraft-theorycrafting like we all know you want us to do. Just admit it; you won’t trim our trees because you’re selfish. Pathetic.
Ratshag the Spriest is level 70. We can’t wait to Misdirect something in Karazhan onto him.
Speaking of abusing Misdirect, it’s time for a “BRK Honks It Up Again!” story!
One of our jobs in the Al’ar fight is to drag the adds off of the platforms and over to the bear-tank. We have the bear-tank as our Focus and we use our Misdirection Macro to help us. This isn’t a hard thing to set up, not at all. Click on the bear-tank, click our Set Focus Macro, and off we go.
We wipe on our first try, not quite sure what happened. While the raid recovers and rebuffs, our enhancement shaman types in raid-chat,
“Please please PLEASE don’t Misdirect on me anymore.”
Who the h3ll is MD’ing on an enhancement shaman? That’s just stupid, our hunters know better than that… and we look at our Focus. Bingo. We set the shaman as our Focus, not the bear-tank, resulting in us dragging an exploding fire-bird onto a melee shaman.
/epic fail
The newly acquired Egotistical Priest and her buddies were four-manning regular MrT. Um, Ego, we have thirty-eight 70s on right now, why don’t you say in gchat, “LF1M DPS reg MrT”? She gave us some silly excuse involving a zoo of tea bags and how states that are wider than they are tall should be excommunicated. We wisely ignored all that and threw a Tier 5-geared druid in their run. Ego completed MrT, the druid got a phoenix hatchling, and we’re a hero. /hero
Another hunter in our guild got the ZA hunter helm. You know the one with the big eye? We’re not sure if he should be happy or sad. Frankly, ZA helms are a total abomination, a practical joke played by Blizzard on their paying customers.
BRK Email Etiquette. If you’re asking us a question about your gear or talent points, including an armory link is mandatory. If you’re not asking us about your gear or talent points, you don’t have to include an armory link. Y’all are going silly with the “Just wanted to say Hi, here’s our armory link like you asked for” emails.
Aetherial Circle is no longer recruiting. We got what we needed and a little extra. Thank you for considering us, we really do appreciate the enthusiasm. Next time we have an opening, we may have to make Aetherial Circle Idol and demand application videos…
/blink
Wow, that’s a really good idea, isn’t it. We may have to guild-kick someone just to implement this.
Hi, my name is TJ and sometimes I’m too busy doing my real job to put in appropriate links. I also haven’t been bribed in a while.

TJ is Unapologetically judgemental about anything BRK related
This post made me hungry for panckes.
Meh, Waffles FTW
I’ll manually set my focus at the beginning of the run. Sometimes I’ll have to set it on the fly if a tank goes down, but I always make an effort to actually type it in rather than click on a raid icon or something.
/focus MTOTName
When I do my misdirects this is what I use.
/target focus
/cast misdirection
/targetlasttarget
/cast arcane shot
For this to work, I simply pick the target I want to MD to my tank, pop the macro and voila… instapull. Then I smack the mob a few more times to cement some aggro and get on with killing stuff.
“Then I smack the mob a few more times to cement some aggro and get on with killing stuff.”
Ideally, it’s only 2 more shots.
Been a while since anybody’s MD’d onta me, so I’s lookin’ forward to it. Course back then, I were wearin’ plate and holdin’ a shield…
Any eta on the n52te review brk?
Here’s my vote for the n52te review as well. I can’t purchase it via your web-linkage if you don’t review it! That’d just be naive or something.
P.S. - There is an 8800GT on NewEgg.com for 169.00 + a mail in rebate. /snag
@FWIW
Yeah, just two more shots, but another ~1500-2000 threat can never hurt.
You know how those rogues love to jump in and snag aggro and get themselves killed. heh
Hey all,
Anyone have a nice ‘MD-roulette’ macro/add-on? For making certain raid members are awake on those otherwise boring kara runs.
@Irshi
/target roguename
/cast misdirection
then immediately arcane shot the nastiest thing in sight. Fun for the whole family.
Playing on European servers I have no chance to be there. But wish you many bulls
Angauss is ready to run! May the best bull win!
Okay okay okay…
+1bazzilion ailtia points

you have now been bribed.
What do I want?
Loot karma. or group karma.
fyi I have been playing for a year and still am only friendly with Honor Hold. Can not seem to find a Ramps group.
