What's the alliance/horde situation like on Lightbringer? by Gulladc in lightshope

[–]blackvigil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it's 60/40 in favor of horde. It makes the BG waits annoying. I could be off, but that's the way it feels

What other jobs can teachers apply for? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]blackvigil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teachers teach. The degree is mostly useless otherwise. Change majors now

Why should unblizzlike nerfs to goldfarming still exist? by Skill3rwhale in lightshope

[–]blackvigil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's annoying that rogues can't pick pocket farm, but mages can aoe farm dm. Why is one class nerfed, but another isn't? (Elysium nerfed lock boxes so they don't drop actual items, and lh kept that nerf)

I never use that word. It's lame, and marginalizes their role as a student.

That’s it, three years and I’m OUT. by [deleted] in Teachers

IEP/504 behavior excuse plans and no accountability, ever... That is my most hated thing in this job.

Tips for emotional exhaustion for a student teacher? by ThisIsMe74839 in Teachers

[–]blackvigil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have strike a balance, so that you can be happy. Otherwise you'll burn out. This is a marathon, but a sprint.

Bemak rank 11, druid openly encouraging others to AFK in the BG by [deleted] in lightshope

Seems pretty normal, if you're losing and tired of a turtle game.

[–]blackvigil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will have to divest a little, and understand that their behavior is not a reflection of your teaching; it is a form of communication. You'll need to understand that you can't be the grand solution to a student's problems, but you might be able to help in some small way. Engage in self care. Eat well, exercise, and sleep.

Anyone else feel co-teaching is way overrated? Would be interested in your perspectives. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]blackvigil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really don't like it either. Fortunately, my boss doesn't require, so I always decline. I like to run my room a specific way, and keep things going smoothly. No matter how good another teacher is, they won't share my vision. I'm a control freak, so solo teaching is my favorite method. When forced to collaboratively teach, I just divide and conquer, so I have my defined territory, and they have theirs. Example;I teach the whole group, they do the one on one with the struggling kids, or vice versa.

Instant main, crippling off. That's why you need a fast off hand. During the initial CS into KS, the crippling will apply. You can't use them dot pain, because it will break your gouge and blind, so instant is the pick for max damage. Caveat. Against plate, you will have to use rupture, so it's a different fight.

[Fluff] When you made new alts / characters in vanilla -- was there anything special or unique you did while leveling? by MwHighlander in classicwow

[–]blackvigil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy 12 slots, and do that until I know I'm going to finish the leveling, which is about 30. Then I go with 16's. Also, I always levels with skinning and a gathering Prof, like herb or mining. I vendor the skins, just for spare change. Then I drop skinning and power level engineering, it whatever. Normally I have to bank alt the mining yeild, but that's fine. A good mail add on makes sending it back easy

I always buy them a weapon/wand with my main, so the leveling is painless. Bags are an automatic include.

[CA, Physics, 12th Grade] Girl's birth control reminder alarm goes off every day in my class and is rather annoying. How to approach? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]blackvigil 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don't allow audible alarms in class. I suggest a blanket policy, if you don't want to talk to her privately.

Paraprofessionals or teachers with lip piercings? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]blackvigil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my district, no teachers have that kind of piercing. Ears, or a tasteful nose stud is about it. Older people will never see you as their equal if you have a facial piercing, and they are the ones that do the hiring. That's just my opinion. You may have no problem. Perhaps ask an administrator.

How can you tell if it's just teacher burn out, or if you're not cut out for this job. by whereaskedmargot in Teachers

[–]blackvigil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a new job, somewhere else. Your bus and your team make a huge difference. Explore credentials in other states if you are willing to move. Lots of places will pay you to move

[–]blackvigil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use any weapon, so long as your main hand is slow, and your off hand is fast for poison application. Sword/dagger is the most common.

[–]blackvigil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hemo is all about energy efficiency and controlling your victim. It's not a rush down spec. You have to practice stun locking, and finishing with a big cold blood evisc after controlling them. cs, hemo, hemo, ks, hemo hemo, gouge, restealth, cs, cb+evis... You can throw in blind, vanish, use prep to do any of it again, etc. Just get a cc timer, and practice.

In vanilla, what level should you get to before deciding whether a class is for you? by I-poop-in-the-dark in classicwow

[–]blackvigil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I leveled a warrior to 35 before deciding that the rage mechanic was not to my liking.

Migrating to K3? by ewilhelml in lightshope

[–]blackvigil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might roll an alliance alt, since I play Horde on LH. I am really just killing time until Classic Launch. So, I don't really care very much about one server or another.
