We’re Alive!
Problem 1. Internet at the house has been out for 24 hours.
Problem 2. Mrs BRK launched herself into a carpeted floor at work yesterday and has to get to an MRI appointment today.
Problem 3. We have promised to do BRK’s Phat Loot Bingo today.
Solution 1: Call Comcast and demand same-day repairs, ’cause we “work from home”.
Solution 2. Call work, tell them we won’t be there as our duties as a chauffeur are required.
Solution 3. After making sure Mrs BRK makes it to her doctor and the boy gets to school, we find the nearest coffee place with WiFi.
And lo, here we are, ensconced upon a black-fabric covered sofa sipping a raspberry latte, writing this post.
So we haven’t checked email in a because of the BRK Blackout. Don’t panic if we haven’t responded in a while. But right now, we have to start our Phat Loot Bingo callout posts. Remember, they’ll start rolling out at 11am EDT today!

Well, get comfy and have a cappucino on us. Looking forward to the Bingo.

@BM
the author’s comment “Hope Blizz looks at this” would lead me to believe that it might be his own creation.
The void armor at the bottom of Survival tree would make a lot of people consider respeccing. Ignore 1200 armor AND scales with agility!

Hope the Missus is doing better, and that you get the home internets back in short order.
On a slightly carping note, you couldn’t go with the GOOD KISS Alive! album?
I mean, I get the whole diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks thing, but Alive III wasn’t really them kicking ass the way they did back with Alive!.

Considering he’s struggling to put out decent content under some pretty inconvenient circumstances, not really kicking ass so much as clinging to the cliff by his fingertips, and given that he really should just fold it up and cancel it and call it a day….
….KISS Alive III is completely appropriate.

Hunter BM Talent : Probably an 80 skill BUT)
Master Trainer : You have become a master animal trainer allowing you to use an additional pet to fight by your side.
Talk about DPS going thru the roof…
Green DPS w/o pet: 500
Kemse : 250 DPS
Pet#2: 250 DPS
(1000 DPS) at L70 with no BUFFS. Now if the Pet Buffs proc at different times. WHOA.. talk about 1500-1750 DPS at 70.
Untouchable… but MAJOR AGGRO.
Hey “Green” want to sit out until the tank grabs 25k in aggro.
Green: Sure… (waits 5 minutes)
Green feign death, your topping the aggro chart again…
And at 80. My DPS alone should be at 1000 +500/each cat.
dreams….

Best wishes to Mrs. BRK. Hope every thing’s all right.

Me and my pet frequently get 1K dps, and mister brk gets much more, so a second pet? That’d be followed with a huge nerf, like say, the ability to dodge/parry ranged attacks. So we wouldn’t be OP.
But still, the ability to have your own wolf pack? Priceless

I read that thirty minutes ago and I’m still blue in the face from laughter.
You, sir, are my Internet Hero of the Day.
