Woman... the ficklest creature.

When men are tired, they are just tired. Reactions slow, eyelids droop and attentiveness wains.

When women are tired, they get cranky. Cranky like the Rancor monster from Star Wars. They will pick you up in their tiny little hands and bite your head off for a snack.

Fear women at times such as these. Women at all other times are generally docile beasts, easily swayed with trinkets and gilt. But woe be unto those that trifle with women when they are extended past their bedtimes.

And now, to my beloved reader, I must bid you a fond, if sorrowful, good-bye, because as soon as a couple of my female readers click on this link I will be summarily destroyed by the pure mental power of the anger and disgust of those female readers.

:)

I kid. :)

Oh, god I am so dead.

Anyway, while Omoi plots my doom, and I am sure that the other women that I play with like Celestria will also want to participate, I am fleeing the country and moving to Canada assuming the new identity of Jacques Ringtrois...

Let's talk about my WHM shall we? We shall. Honestly, right now, my WHM is decently geared, but well under-skilled. My healing isn't capped, my enhancing isn't capped, my divine isn't capped. The only thing that is capped is my enfeebling because I cast Dia II more than anything else. :) I should probably work on that, but I never have any time, and the time I do have I am doing other things. I really need to force myself to do it, maybe make it part of another one of my lists! Well, I wanted to talk about WHM gear and macro sets, but first I want to talk about some potential good gear that is available for WHM and looking forward to BLM from Einherjar. I have points building up from Einherjar, and I want to use them soon, because in a couple of weeks I am going to have enough to get two different pieces. An interesting side note on my feelings about Einherjar gear, at first I thought the gear was pretty crappy overall. There were a few pieces that were definite improvements, but in the end most of them were basically HQ versions of things that were already available. They were worthless because without having the ability to get points without completely clearing a zone the cost to reward ratio was very low for these items. Now that this has been reversed and the items are now relatively easy to come by because you will always get points from Einherjar the situation has changed. In many case the bonuses are worth the investment, and they are "free" items compared to getting something off of the AH. Yes, they are still marginal upgrades but that margin is definitive over the old items that were used previously.

I am definitely considering a Morgana Choker because it basically kicks the crap out of all other WHM neck pieces of any level. It has a bunch more MP than my crappy NQ beak necklace and it has some additional MND which is always nice and could be useful for RDM in the future, but I don't know what else RDM has for the neck besides enfeebling torque, so I may be wrong there. In any case, I can't go wrong with this item for my WHM even if it isn't that useful for my other jobs.

The second piece that I am considering is getting a Gleeman's Cape for my BLM which is on the fast track to super stardom in Versus. (Iceblazek search detector here) It is not the best BLM cape available, because there are other options like the Ixion Cape (expensive) or the Merciful Cape (rare), but it fulfills my normal requirements for non-main job gear. It is cheap and easy to get! The INT on it is equal to the highest of all other available pieces even though it does have the negative MP on it.

The third piece that I want and it is probably on the same level as the Morgana's Choker, is the Omega Ring. Iceblazek (another check) demands that I get this before ever even considering any of the other options, though he did balk when I mentioned the stats on the Morgana's Choker because he thought it's stats were much more poor than they were in reality, but he did not back off of the desire for me to get the Omega Ring. The Omega ring has a couple of very good qualities, the stats are decent but lower than other potential ring options. The thing that puts it over is the 3 extra Magic Accuracy which makes it stronger when it comes to skill and resists than those other ring options. Now, I don't really have any other jobs that can use the Omega Ring but other jobs I am considering leveling like RDM, SCH and BRD can all use it and can all benefit equally from it. So I am probably going to get this first, or second... LOL If I get enough points for both items before I get to 75 on BLM which is like a 99% probability, then I will get both at the same time. The only problem is that work is fucking with my ability to go to Einherjar, but then again it is fucking with my ability to level BLM.

Iz just hit 50 on BLM, so now he can Freeze one-shot stuff. Iceblazek can come with us too. I would really like to hit 50 soon so that I can Freeze stuff too! ;_; LOL. I think I just need to pick up Freeze for now, even though I am still missing Poison II and Stonaga II. I can see a use for Poison II later, but for now it's as useless as tits on a boar.

At some point I wandered away from my goal of talking about my WHM gear, but it appears that I have mentally meandered back to the subject, so lets discuss.

First, my healing set up as I expect it to be for the short term.

Ammo: Phantom Tathlum (Don't have that yet but will get it to use with BLM too)

Body: Noble's Tunic
Hands: Blessed Mitts

Legs: Blessed Trousers
Feet: Rostrum Pumps

And that's it for today, I will go over my other WHM gear sets tomorrow.

And to Omoi, Iceblazek, Izman, Celestria, Kallo, and anyone else that is reading, I love you all! :)
