Pineleaf’s Skirmish Marathon

Battle in Tower Knockback

On Saturday, June 22 @ 10:00 AM Server Time, I will begin a six-hour skirmish marathon on the PineleafNeedles Twitch channel. Here I will play as many skirmishes as I can in the six-hour span. While it is unlikely I will be able to get through all 19, I should at least place a good dent in the total.

The skirmishes will be selected semi-randomly. By that I mean that I will select them through the Instance Finder but that any skirmishes that I have already run during the marathon will be removed from the list (to avoid running the same skirmish twice during the session).

In preparation for this event, I posted a poll in an effort to determine which class I will use during the event. The polls are now closed, so it is time to review the results.

First off, no class received votes from a majority of the voters. While my original post indicated that I could use my discretion if no class received a majority, I will be selecting the class that received the most votes anyway. The winning class is the lore-master, with 31% of the vote.

While I have three lore-masters, only one of them is able to run the majority of the skirmishes. Therefore, I will run this series on Pinestaff, a level-85 lore-master on Windfola.

The lore-master will fit right in with a recent question I received from a reader who wished to know which skirmishes work well with a lore-master and a burglar. After the marathon, I will at least have up-to-date information for the lore-master side of the question.

See you Saturday for the first Pineleaf (or should that be Pinestaff?) Skirmish Marathon at http://www.twitch.tv/pineleafneedles.
May your shield protect you and your spear never break,

    Oh brilliant! I can’t wait to tune in.
    Pinestaff drink plenty of fluids and get a good nights rest.
    May your staff hit ’em in the gizzards nice n’ hard!!

  3. I will be tuning in. Would love to see how a Lore Master is actually s’pose to skirmish. Yeah I have better luck on my Minstrel than I do my LM.

    Good luck Pineleaf and naturally…

    Have fun

  4. Have fun! I probably won’t turn in. Might become a very late thing for me here in the Netherlands, but I’m looking forward to a summary or something 🙂

    As Pineleaf knows very well, I am really looking forward to this!…also it might be a record for number of skirmishes broadcast in a row.

    Twitch seems to be down at the moment due to problems on their end.

    Is the stream going to be pushed back?
