Temple of Kotmogu

Temple of Kotmogu is my current favourite place to be. I have enormous amount of pent up aggression at the moment and this place is just fabulous for unleashing the raaaaaaaaaage! I love to stand right in the middle and just pew pew everything in sight. Awesome AOE win! Blizzard did a wonderful thing by introducing this bg.

It's a bg where I don't struggle. Especially with healers nearby. My favourite thing to do is to just run into the middle (orbs where available) when horde gather there, pop Alter Time, then just place a sneaky Frostbomb on the centre target, Pet Freeze to keep them all together for maximum damage, run straight at them and Frost Orb, Nova, Ice Lance to my heart's content. Then just before they smash me into the floor, I return to my start place to go all over again! So funny when a group of them are on me and *poof* I'm gone back the other side! Now, I'm not saying this happens all the time. But when it does, it really makes me very happy. More than it probably should. The best one so far was a pretty even match up healer wise. I basically just ended up stood in the middle, repeating this cycle. Killed a few orb carriers, silenced a ton of healers and unleashed a total of 13m damage for the bg. The next below me on our team, damage wise, put out 7m total. I know it's not the sole aim of the bg but it was a pretty good feeling to get that much damage out. It was a long and intense battle, but a shit ton of fun!

Sometimes it doesn't go so well. But when those times happen I tend to go a little 'This is Sparta!!' (to the point where my lock wants a picture of me doing it, with that caption. He finds it veeery amusing). I lose all focus and just run in, arms flailing, popping every CD, trying to take out more than I am actually able to do. But, if you're going to lose, you might as well go down fighting! Also tons of fun and a better end to a losing bg than, say, being ganked at WSG graveyard...

As a final note, to the shithead Orc DK who jumped me in the Golden Pagoda as I came out of the bg and took half my health before I even knew what was happening. It must have really stung to get your arse kicked good and proper by a Gnome Mage at half health. Learn to time your Death Grip better. It could save your life.

Gone Fishin'

Though probably a guide already exists for this, I'm compiling a little list of my favourite places to fish in Pandaria.  Eveeeryone is cooking now and these spots will provide the fish you need to level your cooking, to create those super duper banquets, to cash in for Ironpaw Tokens/AH or if you're nice, to make food for your Halfhill friends!

Emperor Salmon and Krasarang Paddlefish
  • Guilded Fan - Lots of Salmon pools in the lake here. Heavily fished though.
  • New Cifera, Pools of Purity - My favourite spot for a fast few stacks.
  • Yan Zhe River - Lots of spots here and handy for picking up turtle meat or wildfowl breast from the little beasts around the shores.
  • Krasarang Wilds - The big lake here has tons of spots.
Reef Octopus and Giant Mantis Shrimp
  • Cradle Of Chi Ji - Lots of unfished Reef Octopus spots all around here. A few Giant Mantis Shrimp but great for the Octopus. Always quiet and easy to get a good few stacks.
  • Nayeli Lagoon: Same as above.
These two locations should provide you with more than enough of these fish, without having to travel too far!

Jewel Danio and Redbelly Mandarin
  • Mistvale Village - Follow the stream from Whitepetal lake down to Mistvale Village for these. Mainly Jewel Danio in my experience but still quite a few Redbelly Mandarin pools.
  • Mogushan Palace - In the ponds around here there are quite a few pools of Redbelly Mandarin.
Sometimes you will also find Emperor Salmon here.

Tiger Gourami
  • The Ancient Passage - The only place I've been where I can successfully fish a few stack. There's never anyone here and the mobs scattered around are nice for Windwool Cloth etc.
Not to forget Darkmoon!

Always remember to fish the crates here. I have had lots of motes from these crates, so it's a nice way to get them without fighting.

I'll update more spots as I go but if anyone can think of anymore, please put them in the comments and I'll add them to it!
