Obligatory screenshot of the Critter Gitter achievement!
Here’s a glimpse into my train of thought…
Hee hee, lookit all those penguins! Man, I bet orcas wished they were player characters!
Hmm, there are orcas swimming all around here… I wonder…
*Flying Mount*
*Fly over water*
And thus is the true meaning of a chef: the ability to prepare delicious food for any palate.
If you’ll excuse me, Glowergold needs cheese.

Lag is the most powerful force in WoW. Nothing else can even compare. 1500 Stamina is nothing compared to the sheer power of 1500 ms. Even the most well stacked, overgeared raid can easily fall victim to the almighty lag.
Lag allows for clever people to do clever things. Like Spell Steal Ice Block, or Counterspell Counterspell.
Yes, I have spell stolen Ice Block several times, once even in a competitive arena (though that was quite a long time ago). If you’re opponent is suffering from enough lag, literally any buff can be spell stolen.
I once stole a Paladin’s bubble, and then immediately counterspelled the Holy Light he was trying to cast. The Paladin stood there for several seconds, then attempted to turn and flee. He died, and probably ran to the forums and cried about how OP mages were.
Are we? Well… maybe.
Paladin leaps off of Lumber Mill, bubbling himself. Bubble was stolen. Paladin went splat.
Paladin uses Divine Intervention on a mage for some reason. Possibly a misclick. Anyway, I was in combat against this mage, and was attempting to steal Ice Barrier. Imagine my immense confusion when suddenly I can’t move or use any abilities.
Alliance Paladin, dead. Alliance mage, dead soon afterwards when my teammates killed him. Me, Horde mage, standing there ridiculously confused. (more…)
