In Space Nobody Can Hear You Swear

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on November 19, 2012 by NjessiNovember 19, 2012

I’m just going to say this up front: I have no coordination and no ability to navigate.  I also get extremely motion sick whether something is actually moving or not (Imax, YUCK!).  It’s a fucking miracle that I drive my … Continue reading »

In Space, Nobody Can Hear You Scream That You Need Heals

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on April 4, 2012 by NjessiApril 4, 2012

From talking with a fellow healer, it has become clear that SOME DPS did not get the following memo: To:DPS From: Your Healers RE: Fire DO NOT STAND IN THE FUCKING FIRE, KTHX Ahem. Now, if you’re still having trouble … Continue reading »

Let The Companion Heal

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on January 24, 2012 by NjessiJanuary 24, 2012

I’m a healer and the husband is a tank.  One would think that, for questing, we’d grab 2 DPS companions and just go from there. Yech, that did not work.  It was much better to have his companion heal.  I … Continue reading »

Upper Hand: How the Eff Does That Work?

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on January 17, 2012 by NjessiOctober 6, 2012

Upper hand1 is difficult.  I’m having trouble wrapping my brain around it and it will take even longer for it to be second nature.  But I’m assuming that everyone else is having the same problem, right? The “Build and Consume” Model … Continue reading »

Tracking Buff Procs

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on December 27, 2011 by NjessiDecember 27, 2011

Yes, I am whining again about the UI.  But seriously! OK, I have this… thing called “upper hand.”  Without getting too technical for you non-smugglers out there, certain abilities trigger “upper hand” and certain abilities consume it.  I can have … Continue reading »

Making the Default Interface Behave: Unit Frames

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on November 25, 2011 by NjessiDecember 27, 2011

Step 1:  Show party frames as raid frames.  Oh, excuse me, I mean “Operations Frames.”  At least that way it looks more grid-like, and your own frame also shows. Step 2: Right click on the little “people” button on the … Continue reading »
