Id Tank That » Bhodi

Professional Grand Master

cd34 — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 17:21:04 +0000

Bhodi with a lot of help from Qwaitxnine, finally hit 350 mining in Un’goro Crater and was able to get Professional Grand Master Mining, allowing his mining to go all the way to 450.

Due to a number of issues, I could not afford much experience at all on Bhodi, so, I was limited to mining in Un’Goro crater until 350 — avoiding all of the Outlands discoveries to level up mining. I wrote and followed the mining guide specifically for Bhodi.

Jboogiee and Brodas ganking in ‘The Charred Vale’

cd34 — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:01:09 +0000

When I created Bhodi, I realized that in order to get the gear I needed, I wouldn’t have a lot of playtime to learn how to effectively play a Shaman. Knowing which totems to use when, what keybindings would be helpful, etc was something I needed to know before I had all of the gear and enchants, so, I created a Shaman on another realm. Truth be told, I created Gotmooh on Alterac Valley before deciding to make a Shaman twink, but, never leveled him past level 8. After Bhodi hit level 23 or so, I decided to level Gotmooh to 29, try and get a little gear for him including Bleeding Crescent, Clink Shield and some other gear.

While I was out doing a little mining, Jboogiee, a 69 paladan struggled to kill me. His first strike was a miss, I stayed in ghost wolf form and got reasonably far away from him before he could mount up and kill me. I rezzed, continued mining and watched him kill a 23 warlock before coming back after me. After I got ganked the third time, I changed direction and went mining again at which point Brodas saw me, dismounted, attacked my Stoneclaw totem and got stunned, ran through my binding totem before turning around and then bam, Jboogiee decided to kill me again.

After that one, they decided to camp me and I took a few screenshots.

Bravo Jboogiee and Brodas for being able to kill someone 20 levels below you and having to pair up to do it.

Bleeko, a level 30 Druid in Arathi Basin in the 20-29 bracket

While its not impossible for a 30 to be in a battleground, this druid had the time to get travelform, but, I don’t believe he was a twink as he only had 1300 hit points and died rather quickly.

Still, the coordination required and the fact he did have his mount, training, and had hit his druid trainer means that he did a bit of planning prior to.

Sorry for your death Bleeko.

Professional Master

Bhodi, my 29 Shaman twink on Cho’gall was very close on experience to dinging 30, but, through a bit of creative thinking, I was able to get to Northrend and purchase Professional Master Mining which allowed me to increase my mining level to 375.

10000 Honorable Kills

cd34 — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:02:31 +0000

10000 kills while I was healing. Our flag dropped down from the enemy gy and while I was healing, the achievement popped up. Unlike the 10000th kill on IbJammin, I didn’t get the name of the player that was credited as my 10000th kill. There were a few notable players in that wsg, but, they weren’t near the gy at the time.

Stacks in lots of 2147483647

ItemPriceTooltip gives a little info when you mouseover an item. One of the useful statistics is the number of items that fit in a stack. After the mail was lost prior to the WotLK release, Battle Tokens were remailed to you. Unfortunately, those marks didn’t delete themselves after a few days and have sat in my mailbox. I deleted a few of them when I noticed that they stacked in lots of 2147483647. I believe Lua converts a null to a -1 and therefore, the conversion results in this large number.

A fan of Bhodi

cd34 — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:31:58 +0000

Bhodi is my 29 Shaman Twink. While I loved playing IBJammin, Bhodi brings a lot more challenge to the game with the recent hunter changes. I’ve changed my playstyle from being a stealthy backstabber to providing quite a bit of support for the team. I am not responsible for our wins as it takes a team effort, but, once in a while you get someone that appreciates your effort.

While I didn’t top the damage or healing charts, I healed where it was necessary, DPSed where I could, and returned two flags by chasing them down when they slipped past midfield. I love my frost shock glyph that extends the length of the shock by two seconds. By the time frost shock is about to expire on my target, the cooldown on Frost shock is ready to be reapplied. With liberal use of purge, even pallies are easy enough to slow and take down.

Note the ‘fan’ comment in the lower left.

Thank you Bankerr — it was great to run with you as well.

Shammy Totem Pow-wow

While defending blacksmith in an Arathi Basin, we had 3 Shammies on D for a few minutes.

Quite a few totems…

41k Healing in a Warsong Gulch

cd34 — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:24:46 +0000

Bhodi hits 41k healing in a Warsong, but, I am not specced Resto.

I came into the game late and Horde was being hammered quite bad. Always love zoning into a flag room with 6 attackers. I stepped in, healed as much as I could, started to DPS and we repelled that attack, but, we still weren’t strong enough to overcome.

Identical Healing in a Warsong Battleground

cd34 — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:29:54 +0000

Vow and Bhodi both had identical healing in this battleground which I thought was worthy of a screenshot. I’m not specced as a healer, but, will heal when needed.
