Phaelia Midsummer … WHAT?!

Published on June 26, 2008 by Phaelia

And what is that pole made out of?! There’s been a lot of hullabaloo in the blogosphere about the Midsummer Fire Festival lately. I’ve been appalled at the participation of several Restoration Druid bloggers, including a brutally graphic video by Leafshine and a detailed guide of the most efficient path to visit the bonfires by Pookies (one would hope with the intention of dousing them). Lossemenel from Elune’s Guidance writes about witnessing frenzied hooligans frolicking around roaring bonfires and dancing around poles that I think not coincidentally happen to be made of wood. Doodle from HoTs & DoTs even shares a horrific story of deliberate self-conflagration.

Oh my Elune!  It is contagious?! Apparently, it’s incumbent upon me to point out that it’s a FIRE festival. We are TREES. This festival is clearly classist/specist. Just say NO to Fire Blossoms! BAH, HUMBUG!

P.S. Speaking of fire-related things, Kael’thas Sunstrider can DIAF for not dropping my [Phoenix Hatchling].

    I assure you that I was 1) revering the alliance fires for their capacity to burn my sorry tree ass, and 2) desecrating the horde fires before they got a chance to set me on fire!!!! <3

    I’ve got the same Phoenix Hatchling problem over here. Must be some kind of druid related bug. As well as there is never ever a baby crocodilisk in the Bag of Fishing Treasures. Neither the Sinister Squashling showed up for me nor Mojo wanted to kiss me. It seems to be a curse even the mightiest druid isn’t able to dispell.

    -insert big sigh here-

    I figured you trees were just really into the whole pleasure/pain concept…

    ROFL. Yes, Midsummer isn’t exactly nice to trees indeed.

    Oh, and you totally owe me a keyboard for this. It didn’t take well to coffee.

    Shame on all Druids who participate in this atrocious holiday! Make love, not fire!

    @Lady Jess: YOu should be ASHAMED of yourself! How does that dress look on you when you’re in TREE form? Hmmm???

    @Pookies: Hahaha. Well. I guess that’s okay.

    @Nebelmond: Awww! I don’t know if it’s necessarily a class-wide curse. I got my Toothy’s Bucket from the Fishing Daily a few weeks ago. /ducks

    @Softi: I’ve heard some trees beat themselves with their own switches. :-(
    @Gwaendar: Haha, I’m glad to hear it!

    @Josh: MAKE LOVE NOT FIRE! should totally be on a Tree-Shirt. What do you think?

    Does everyone’s feet as well as hands look on fire when you’re wearing the 3 pieces? I gathered them all on my current main, a tauren, and only the hands look on fire. But on the internet and the few times I’ve seen others in game it looks like they are dancing in fire. But I haven’t seen another tauren yet.

    Is this yet another fun thing taurens don’t get? If i had known that I would have spent the flowers on the pet. Not enough days are left to get enough flowers for anything else.

    @Yunk: If you get the sandals, it looks like your feet/roots are on fire (you have to click them). Clicking on the vestments make you dance and your hands catch on fire. The shoulders don’t have any visible effect in Tree of Life. It does look like the vestments/sandals work in Bear Form, too, though. “Only YOU can prevent forest fires,” says the Feral Druid.

Phaelia’s Vestments of the Sprouting Seed (45)

stillsong
Hey Phaelia I was so delighted during raid time this week to receive these vestments. Since first reading about them I wanted to wear them. I told the story of them when I recieved them so everybody would know they were named after you and your unborn baby. They loved this. How is everything going? Is your baby born?

Ну и что, результат есть ?

just won your BOE for a very small bid of 50 dkp after reading your blog for centuries. /dance thanks for the good fortunes.

talv
woohoo, got mine today, congratulations on everything and thanks for getting my healing where it needs to be to get them =)

Jim
Congrats! We have another on the way in a month. Time to master the balancing act again. Jims last blog post..“Am I Ready for Heroics? Am I Ready for Naxx?”

@alan sounds like a cool idea, maybe like the little pikmin things with a huge army of ants doing battle for you, too bad it would prolly be too much for others processing to have 5 people in a raid that had 100 pets each running around fighting.

Armor Pen has been updated, and it is now over powered…Stacking this is now the best way to drasticly increase your dps, don’t go out of your way to get it, most uldar feral gear has a healthy amount of Arm. Pen. As well stacking some AP gems is very usefull.
Mailbag: Preferred Tank (7)

ysoph
Our bear friends are relevant soakers due to HP they have, but lack of avoidance (except of dodge of course) makes them harder to heal. But at least it means less overheal :-) Pallys are great trash tankers but might face problems with spellers due to OOM or just a lack of spell defend abilities. If your group is about to kill raid boss with some spell abilities, high constant melee damage and bleed/spell resistances better get decent warrior.

Hi, great post and good resources, but could you possibly correct the link to wowmodelviewer.org as it’s missing the wow. The domain you are linking to is a spamvertising domain with popups galore which could possibly end up being wholly inappropriate. Ta! Everwraths last blog post..50 Mount Achievement
