I earned free justice points in just 5 minutes, and now you can too, with this super easy, handy-dandy guide! Heck no, this isn't one of those mile-long posts about making piles of gold, where you finally get to the long-winded bottom only to discover they want to sell you a stupid PDF for $19.99. (If you REALLY want to make 10K gold in five minutes, you can BUY IT for fraction of the cost of those stupid PDFs and never have to farm ANYTHING - but we'll save the controversial Chinese Gold-buying post for another time.) THIS post is all about free justice points. Let's back-track to how I discovered this wonderful (and admittedly sleazy) method for earning free Justice Points in 5 minutes.
With my level 1 human female warrior safely tucked into bed and sound asleep, I logged into WoW and trolled the Trade chat for any potential action. Almost immediately I found my chance:
"LFM BH25 - Need 2 more DPS. PST to join!"
I quickly banged out a terse whisper. "Destro Lock."
(Speed is CRUCIAL when you're DPS and slots are limited - so no need to bother with pleasantries - or full sentences.)
And I was rewarded for fast typing with an invite to BH25. The other DPS slot filled up immediately and the summons were already starting. Less than a minute after logging in, I was zoning into BH. Rock on!
The group wasted no time. We were buffed and attacking trash in seconds. And for the record, I REALLY enjoy the BH trash. It is the perfect opportunity to really set something on fire with absolutely NO CHANCE of getting aggro, and thereby see what your gear and spell rotation can really do for you when buffed. I was spiking up toward 17K and was 4th or 5th on DPS. Life really doesn't get much better for a Warlock.
Within a couple minutes, we were standing before Allanon... no wait, Alanon is that Druid from Shannara. Aragorn? No, that's Tolkien. The BIG FAT PIT BOSS. How about that? See why I don't use boss names? I can't even spell it close enough for Google to find it. Anyway, we were there in no time, and divided up into the customary 2 groups. (I like the left side, for the record.)
Just then, as we were all telling the raid leader we were ready, I heard the most horrible sound imaginable: My level 1 warrior was AWAKE. Any CRYING. "Honey?!?" I yelled toward the living room, and the reply from Mrs. Mortigan made it immediately clear that I was still on duty for putting the little one to bed, and the tone indicated that if I ever wanted to see Azeroth again, I'd better get my butt in the bedroom and get the little one back to sleep. Pronto. I tried to quickly type "WAIT!!! NOT READY!!!" but it was too late. The tank was already making the pull. I did the only thing I could do. I dropped my Infernal on top of the Pit Boss, said goodbye to Karuri my imp, and ran for the bedroom.
Usually it's only a matter of a few minutes before the little one is asleep and I can return to the computer. Not this time. No. It was nearly 2 hours before the little warrior was resting peacefully again. I went back to the computer, horrified at what I might find. Would there be hate-mail in my inbox? Would I be booted from the raid after causing a wipe? Wow had completely logged me out. I nervously typed my password, and re-entered the realm. The login screen showed me in Baradin Hold still. That was good news, I thought. It meant I hadn't been booted for AFK. Once zoned in, I found my corpse on the floor where I last remember standing. There were no other bones, and the Pit Boss was gone. It had been a successful 1-shot run. I'd caused no wipe. I scanned Recount to see how things went, and to my surprise, I was NOT the lowest DPS on the list. I had beat out two other DPS who had less than 6K apiece. Hooray for Karuri and my Infernal! I released, and once back in the graveyard, I checked my Currency. Yep, I had earned my Justice Points!
Therefore, here is my sleazy guide to free Justice Points in 5 minutes or less, guaranteed!
1. Join a BH25 raid.
2. Kill trash for a few minutes.
3. When facing Allanon... er, Aragorn... ummm... THE PIT BOSS, dance around in a very eager manner.
4. Right when the tank is starting the pull, type "OMG! MY DOG IS VOMITING TAPE-WORMS!!!"
5. Get up and go fix a sandwich or watch Jeffersons re-runs.
6. Come back anytime later and verify that you've obtained your free Justice Points. Sleazy? Yes. Free Justice Points? Definitely.
And one last important note... this post is available in PDF format for the low, low price of $19.99! PST if interested!
Mortigan the Unethical
Haha, I'd love to see a run where 10 people go "OMG MY MOM JUST PHONED, SHE FELL OFF A BALCONY!" or something like it and go make a sandwhich ^^ Fortunately in 25 mans most people just go /shrug when someone leaves, and well, you did do some dps!
ReplyDeleteFYI - raiding one handed is a skill no parent should be without. I have succesfully raid healed while breastfeeding.
ReplyDelete@Zinn I could only DREAM of having a big enough reader base to wreck a raid!
ReplyDelete@Analogue I don't want to encourage any men to practice one-handed raiding. =oO But I salute you! But for me, there's no way to put the kiddo to bed and raid at the same time, unfortunately. Mrs. Mortigan once plunked her in my lap until she could get a bottle ready, and while watching me raid, my little one was enthusiastically yelling, "DIE! DIE! DIE!" Coincidence, I hope!
ROTFL! But it's perfectly acceptable behavior for Warlocks, they are supposed to be unethical so as not to disappoint the other classes.
ReplyDeleteBut that way you're cheating!
ReplyDeleteYou might have done 6k burst DPS with your Infernal + Imp, but if you died right afterwards to Fel Firestorm, the fail bots who did less than 6k dps throughout the whole fight might have dealt more damage than you in the long run! You should have looked at the damage done tab, not DPS =P
On top of that, if you had used the Doomguard instead, you would have done more DPS, Infernal is for AoE only since 4.1. =D
And one last thing: The pit boss thingy still gives Valor Points, not Justice, hehe. You might want to change the title.
@Xayide - Regarding cheating:
ReplyDeleteI feel terrible about encouraging cheating! Wait, no I don't. I'm a Warlock! Cheating should be EXPECTED by Warlocks. If I was a mage, well, yeah, I'd just feel awful. I'd feel awful for cheating, and feel awful for just being a mage, too! Hehe. But seriously, there's nothing really serious on my blog. Anything serious here is either a complete accident or a freak occurrence.
Regarding Justice/Valor Points:
My information is shoddy. Like the Justice Points you mention. It LOOKED like I got Justice Points to me, and I didn't notice any extra Valor Points. But I could be wrong. Will I correct my blog? Probably not. That would be responsible... and I am not responsible for accidents or anything else that goes on around here.
Regarding the Doomguard:
He sucks. Even after 4.1, he still sucks. He sucks because he stands there and does nothing for at least 10 seconds while he assesses the situation. Cynwise (who runs a VERY responsible blog with reliable, usable information) claims that the Doomguard is spending all that wasted time looking for a party member to kill (the way he used to - mmm, good times!). Then he gives up and finally joins the fight. Until Blizz fixes his AI, he isn't getting trotted out for jack crap. He also seems to die more quickly than the Infernal. And lastly, that infernal stomping around in the thick of it is just dang cool. We Warlocks DO have to keep up appearances, you know.
Thanks for reading and commenting! It's much appreciated.
Oh sure it's expected!
ReplyDeleteBut I just feel more evil for having cheated you out of cheating! =D
Seriously though, I didn't mean to spoil the fun or anything, I understand it's a casual blog.
The thing with the Doomguard is really a pain, but I've noticed that it only happens if you have more than one target or if your single target doesn't have a Bane of Doom/Agony already already rolling when you summon it. It's supposed to attack whichever target has a Bane of Doom/Agony on it... (And now you ask: What if there are multiple targets with Bane of Agony? ...)
I must agree the Infernal is much more badass though...
