More Wildshard vs Sista

More Wildshard vs Sista

It took Sista two tries to complete the "Hand of Fate," a lengthy, mandatory scenario for the druid cause. It's now Wildshard's turn.

Wild couldn't help but get a dig in with Sista, telling her that HE would complete the task on the first try without a do over.

Tiphaine looked on and shook her head. She approved the little contest.
Sista shrugged. "We'll see, won't we?" 

Anxious to get started, Wild didn't bother checking gear scores. But Sista did.
Wildshard's i774 gear vs Sista's i859.

Wild may have missed the tip that dying during the event means doing it over from the beginning. Or maybe not. Wild watched both of Sista's attempts closely, and that might gain him an edge.

Wild is also trying to track down Lyndras, a fun game that Wild knows will take him into the Underbelly at Dalaran. Wildshard is cautious. His success on the Broken Shores has been more hazardous than expected. Despite using the vanilla actionbars, Wild has experienced breakdowns where spells would fail to load. It's not fun to land at the point of attack and see that key spells aren't available. The missing spell is often Thrash. It has a 6sec cooldown but it won't always  reset after the CD, forcing Wild to change form and even then it sometimes won't appear. Wild has to admit he has died a few times as a result.

Another admission is a mistake in picking up a level 850 trinket. After paying for it in nethershards he belatedly realized he was in human/balance form and the trinket he bought was an intellect trinket, not the agility one he wanted. Sigh.  Wild dug around for the piece of paper he'd tucked into his frayed belt. The scribble said something like "Don't forget your Loot specialization!" Sigh. Wild burned 400 shards for an intellect item he wouldn't use.

Wildshard was all over the map most of the late afternoon. Legion fires and battles were everywhere. When he dropped, exhausted, at Deliverance Point he had pulled in a LOT of nethershards. With those shards Wild was able to upgrade four of his gear slots. His gear level rose from i774 to i813.

Tiphaine has been looking on the sideline, giving the youngers additional time in the trenches. With 22 of 25 followers already on her side, she felt she had the time to do some more important tasks. One billion per per mission is near worthless now, when it takes tens of billions just to add another AP. She will focus mostly on earning veiled argunite which can be turned in for i910 gear. Her greatest frustration, though, is that Tiphaine has yet to earn the lottery of super weapons; ie, legendary weapons. Keya has two of them, the bastard, mumbling under her breath. It's random chance, and her chance hasn't come.

Then there is Mahakeya. Perhaps the only Demon Hunter ever to crack ilevel 922 overall despite never setting foot in a raid or dungeon (well, almost every dungeon). That is quite a feat.

Sista was still feeling good about her chances with the betting on "Hand of Fate." Then Wildshard came back from clearing an entire continent of legion monstrocities and handed in his take: Wild's gear level went from i774 to i813 and now? It's now i839! Still not as high as Sista's i859.

Sista admits to being impressed. But she will reserve her final say when Wild completes The Hand of Fate.
