So I've heard. Basically, as I know it, Druid is essentially a vaguely watered down combination of Rogue, Warrior, Mage and Priest. I love the versatility, though. It just makes the character so much more fun to play.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #301 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 07:35 »

I have a dream, a guild of nothing but specialized druids.

0bsessions · « **Reply #302 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 08:35 »

There are more than a couple out there. It's actually amusing in how feasible it is.

Alex C · « **Reply #303 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 11:22 »

The watered down part doesn't really come into play much if you're mostly a solo player or non-raider anyway, and even in raids the advantages are sweet. It sucks that bears can't become uncrushable, but blizzard is moving away from crush mechanics and it's actually easier to tank in bear in terms of quick threat and rage generation. Rogues deal more damage than kitties, but they don't give buffs, battle rez, cast innervate or pop into bear form to emergency tank either. Besides, dealing less damage than a good rogue just gives you something in common with practically everyone else on the planet anyway.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #304 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 11:33 »

Yeah, and warriors can't exactly pop between forms casting rejuvy on themselves and then turning back into bear, now healing while the enemy flounders, already my favorite tactic ever.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #305 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 11:42 »

So far, I am looking at the talent trees for the Shaman and man I am a little confused as to what to go with. Looks like i can leave elemental alone entirely with what I'm going for (support for groups with feasible soloability) but I need to sit down and really read all of the talents.

Lines · « **Reply #306 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 11:45 »

Ok, so when I finally start up my account I will totally roll a character. Probably a druid (again), priest, or rogue. Up to you guys, if you "need" a particular class.

(This is also a reminder to myself to look at which server you guys are on and find you.)

Alex C · « **Reply #307 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 11:48 »

Oh, man, wait 'till you have the full suite of Frenzied Regeneration, Entangling Roots, 4-5 second Bash, and Nature's Grasp. It is so win; I was cheerfully soloing Devilsaurs at level 52 and beating the crap out of multiple mobs at once just because of the many ways you can safely heal and drag the fight out if you have to.

0bsessions · « **Reply #308 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 11:53 »

Yeah, few things are more fun than soloing an elite by just kind of standing there in bear form and occasionally war stomping to cast regrowth. My default strategy when trying to handle a single elite is to prowl, pounce, shred, build up a combo, rip and then war stomp, heal and bust into bear form to just wear him down. Gorlash in STV went down like a punk for me at 42 with that method and I barely know what I'm doing.

The more I think about this, the more I like the idea of rolling an all Druid guild.

Lines · « **Reply #309 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 12:04 »

Druids are my favorite class. I'm not a huge fan of tanking anymore in bear form, but I like cat form, being a boomkin, and druid healers are pretty awesome because of all the HoTs. Also the whole not having to buy a flying mount is kind of awesome.

How about "The Seventh Dick?"

I know this was a joke, and wouldn't work with Blizz's language filter but I would totally be in a guild called "Suck the Seventh"

Edit: and our tabard could just have a picture of a big lollipop... ok maybe not

Get In the Van

Even though I'm not familiar with the back story of this one (I think I've seen it in a sigquote or something), I'm alright with this one, too, I guess.

0bsessions · « **Reply #314 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 19:03 »

How about "The Next Seven" or "Take the Seventh."

Appropriate and an excellent in-joke. "Suck the Seven" isn't really close enough to the original remarks to work.

A moderator has solved this internal forum dispute.

Our Guild name shall be "Get In The Next Seven."

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #317 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 20:19 »

no pirate theme?

Alex C · « **Reply #318 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 20:37 »

I'm not really that big on pirates. Sorry. I prefer est's Bandito suggestion over that one, actually. Of course, my sister occasionally refers to me as a bandito, so I may be biased.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #319 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 22:16 »

I'd be all for one of the "Seventh" suggestions personally.

est · « **Reply #320 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 23:16 »

Naturally I still like the Banditos, but if people like "get in the van" can I request it be capitalised like a shouted order?

GET IN THE VAN.

est · « **Reply #321 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 23:19 »

Also: I just realised I am mixing my references a little. See the text under my avatar for the thing I'm confusing it with, which is from a gestapo-like secret police in-joke we had for a while here aaaaaages ago.

Eris · « **Reply #322 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 23:43 »

0bsessions · « **Reply #323 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 06:06 »

Considering Get In the Van/ Truck is before most of us showing interest's time here, I think the Seventh Dick references work a bit better. All of us were around for that.

Lines · « **Reply #324 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 06:35 »

Seven > Van for "I know what this means" purposes, but Seven < Van for sounding better.

But really, just pick the one that will confuse the most people not from the forums.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #325 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 10:40 »

If you wanna know how hard you can push the boat out before it comes unnacceptable, my friends and I made a uild in guild wars called "Maddie is in our guild hall" and the name suffix is [raep], if you wana join PM me.

I have no idea what the Seventh Dick references.

I like the all caps GET IN THE VAN, personally.

Quote from: tommydski

He's right. I tried to think of some good advice but I just don't know enough about you. Also, my advice wouldn't be much use because you don't know what kind of person I am. I might tell you to suck the next six dicks you see.

Wait.

Yeah.

Suck the next six dicks you see.

Quote from: 0bsessions

This is all shit advice. You should be able to get by on sucking just the next five dicks you see.

Quote from: tommydski

See Jon, this is where I think your commitment is lacking. Five dicks is just about adequate. You aren't prepared to put that last dick in your mouth if you think you can avoid it. Sometimes you have to endure just to prove to yourself you can do it. Have a sense of pride in your work. Take the sixth dick.

Quote from: ForteBass

3. Suck the next seven dicks you see. That shows real commitment.

You have no excuse, man! This was months after you joined!

Alex C · « **Reply #329 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 11:52 »

I guess I have seen that before; I just never thought much of it.

Lines · « **Reply #330 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 12:30 »

It's no biggie. But I admire Jon's effort to go digging around to find forum references to sucking dicks.

0bsessions · « **Reply #331 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 12:41 »

That shit took me so long to find, too!

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #332 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 12:56 »

Guys I can't play while I'm at school and its pissing me off, this is not good. Anyway, seeing as I'll probably be spending a lot of time on this druid someone tell me what name y'all have decided on and I'll make the charter tonight.

Catfish_Man · « **Reply #333 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 14:29 »

Um, I'm pretty sure 'suck the next N dicks you see' originated on 4chan, not here...

Alex C · « **Reply #334 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 14:31 »

I've got the cash for the charter if ya need it boro, dunno how much you've had a chance to play. We can at least split the cost.

Yakob · « **Reply #335 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 15:49 »

I think the general consensus is that "GET IN THE VAN" should be the name.

EDIT: Oh shit, it's taken

0bsessions · « **Reply #336 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 15:54 »

I don't really see any consensus. I'm seeing a pretty even split between Get In the Van and some variation on the Suck the Next theme, not to mention that Get In the Van apparently isn't actually the right in-joke. I stand by Johnny's suggestion of merging the two as the best.

Considering google can find zilch in terms of that phrase anywhere BUT QC (It's the first result under "suck the next dick" "suck the next dicks"), I'm going to call shenanigans on this one and let Tommy keep the credit.

Not every internet in-joke started in that pit.

I know a couple people on this board also frequent that den of seediness, and are probably spreading memes between the two, emulating the spread of gonorrhea.

est · « **Reply #338 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 16:23 »

I honestly don't care what the name is or even if we make a guild or not so long as we can get a good handful of people together.

Also, I wish I had more spare time this week. I need to get levelses on Khaz Modan so we can get to the fun stuff.

0bsessions · « **Reply #339 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 18:51 »

Whelp. I just made myself a fresh Tauren Druid for the Khaz Modan server by the name of Hefferwolfe.

est · « **Reply #340 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 19:40 »

I may or may not make a Tauren Warrior for comparison to my Orc. Warstomp + bandages sounds too good to pass up.

Guys. It's not worth reinstalling and activating my subscription to play for just two weeks, right? Please tell me it's not worth it.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #344 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 21:25 »

okay, got the charter up and initially had the guild name as Get in the Next Seven. those of us who were on however decided we didn't like it and switch the name to Shanghaied. If there are any problems with this THEN YOU AREN'T AWESOME.

No... but you're going to anyways so better sooner than later right?

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #347 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 22:47 »

From wikipedia:
"The American term shanghaied refers to the practice of conscripting men as sailors by coercive techniques such as trickery, intimidation, or violence. Those engaged in this form of kidnapping were known as crimps. Until 1915 unfree labor was widely used aboard American merchant ships. The related term press gang refers specifically to impressment practices in Great Britain's Royal Navy.[1]"

Actually its entirely relevant, yet deviously misleading. Yakob didn't care but didn't like Get in the Next Seven, and Steve and Whip liked it, so I went with it. I've also gotten signatures by begging for them and the guild is registered.

Well, the problem is that "sooner" is "now for the next two weeks only," and "later" is "two years from now."

Just tell me it's not worth it so I can go away.
