Coffin Comics

Behold!  World of Speechcraft!

Before Icecrown Citadel, I thought the Argent Tournament intro speech was bad!  At least you can skip that one…  As for the rest of these; I do enjoy the lore associated with them, however, once I heard the speech, I’d rather just get on with the fighting every time after that.  And when you get right down to it… it all turns into some kind of weird soap opera type thing.  They all have some weird bizarre problem that they are stubbornly passionate about and, of course, will go on to tell you all about it…

Seriously… if I was a boss and some punks broke into my lair, I wouldn’t rattle on with some long winded speeches about this and that and boo hoo hoo… No!  I’d lay the smack down!  It all reminds me of the old batman/superman comics where the badguy will tell them the whole plan before they die a slow and unmoderated death… to which they escape and save the day.  Come on villains!  Get with it!  Just squish them and move on… cause they’re probably just buffing up while you’re giving them your life story.

For those not yet to ICC, here’s an excellent site (except for the last one) with their real speeches (spoilers… I guess): ICC Intro, Lady Deathwhisper, Gunship Battle, Saurfang, and Lich King.

Least he had chicken?  Sometimes, just for fun, my little Mage likes to go fisticuffs style… mostly just miss, but sometimes he’ll land a right cross to the chin for a whopping 1 damage (critical of course).

Now then… With the recent changes announced to the Paladin class, I knew I had to make this comic asap (you know, before everybody forgets about the good times).

So, as a Paladin with buff QQs as my anger management trigger, I have definitely passed out Might to every caster in a raid when bombarded with a million whispers for Wisdom or Kings.  Seriously, after a wipe or when getting set up, wait for everyone to get in before begging for buffs.  Because 10 seconds later, someone else will waltz into the instance and be like “Hey gang, how bout some buffs?”  XD

Heaven forbid you put the wrong buff, Wisdom or Might (or even Kings) on the wrong person!  That’s grounds for all out war!  But them crafty minions working at Blizzard decided to combine them, specifically, to curb my buff rage issues. Heh.  >)

For the record, this is a reference to Legend of the Seeker.  I got totally addicted to that show after practicing my insomnia skills on Sundays… it was like, Xena but with more slow motion.  If you are new to the show, or will be soon, the first season was all about the slow-mo jump attacks!  I’d love to recommend making a drinking game of it, but I don’t want to be responsible for any alcohol poisoning incidents.
