Keepers of Fortitude - Saryrn / Bertoxxulous

Actually 6 books in the Lord of the Ring.  Although it was published as a trilogy it is divided into 6 "books."  Tolkein really intended it to be published in one volume, and the books were just put in as conveinant stopping points for the reader.  His publisher convinced him to publish it as a trilogy.  I actually would of much prefered it if they had made it as six movies, they wouldn't of had to cut out so much then, but then I'm a big geek :).

BTW I got Eowyn the first time I tried it, then grew a beard and did it again and got Eomer ;).  Was hoping for Aragorn but oh well :)

The Ranger spells are kind of well, dull.  Just upgrades of things we have.  I was hoping for something cool and new :)  Hehe I guess I don't need to rush like a mad man to get to 60 so I can get these spells.  I haven't played a Pally or a SK much so I'm not sure, but theres don't look that exciting either.

Don't get me wrong they are welcome upgrades, but just not that exciting.  Most of these are just existing Druid spells or Logical upgrades of ranger spell lines.

One weird one level 55 Cry of Fire self weapon proc, when we allready have a level 55 self weapon proc called call of fire.

Good to have you back!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, but hopefully I'll have a bit more time this week.  Saw this on the Ranger board, thought it was funny so I stole it and reposted it here.
