Shade of Aran finally went down on us last night after we coaxed him to come out of the closet. Sadly, when it was his turn with me, he died tragically from a heart attack. Grats to FKT on another fun night!
Hrm... how can I top that awesome opener? Well anyways, this fight is one of the most fun in the instance. Most whine about how hard he is and how they get pwnd. Okay guys there are only a few things that need to be done. Don't move when there is fire, CS his Fireballs and frostbolts, get the ellies under control, and have fun! After my rank about all these things, we nuked him down on our first attempt of the night. THanks to everyone there, and enjoy the loot.

Karma!
Wow! I recently found out that Karma is not always a bitch. Sometimes she is sweet, and reminds me that I am a good person.
Okay, so check this out. A good friend of mine wanted to kill some dragons in Ogri'la. He needed those blue crystals off of the dragons. He asked over vent if we would help, and I agreed. I knew that by helping him, not only would I be of healing assitance, but I would
get a chance at a super rare drop, The Badge of Tenacity. Needless to say, it did not drop. Oh and btw Hyjal the dragons are bugged. No blue crystals. Nonetheless, we decided that we would kill the dragons and craft the random cloak from their scales. I got a crappy caster one that magically turned into a blue crystal. That was it. No Badge yet again.
Later last evening I was browsing my guild forums and found that a rogue had gotten the drop. He posted on the forums that he was going to see if my class leader wanted it first. Luckily for me, my CL is really determined to get his mount. So, I get a tell from said rogue, offering that what should be epic trinket to me for 700G. Of course I am pretty poor, as I have been gearing out 3 sets. I had about 500 gold on me, and got a loan from Stan. I am now the happy owner of the badge. The endless farming is over. Now I just need Moroes Pocket watch to drop...

Requirements for end-game raiding
Gruul's, SSC
Here are the stats druids should have for roles in Gruul's Lair and Serpentshrine Cavern. All figures are unbuffed. Since the raid team will soon be more formal, these should be considered "requirements."
Healing: 9,000 mana, 1,400 +healing, 100mp/5 (while casting) 8,000 health.
Tanking: 1,500 AP, 13,000 health, 27,000 armor, 30% dodge, 415 defense (or resilience)
Melee DPS: 2,400 AP, 30% crit, 8,000 health
Casting DPS: 800 +spell damage, 8,000 health, 6,000 armor (MK form)
Damn! And I thought I was set to go to Gruuls and SSC. These are really high standards. I was actually very disappointed yesterday when I saw that all three of my sets were not acceptable for end-game. Luckily for cat form, I just had to do some re-gemming. But for bear, my most valued form, I fall short of the needed 1500 attack power. This is where it gets tricky. I need 115 attack power. I HAVE to get the gloves from Curator, the belt out of Heroic Ramparts. The bracers out of Heroic Shattered Halls, and I am also concerned with my chest and legs. So in all, I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Good news!
"HERT raid schedule.
Friday: 6-8:30
Saturday: 5-9
(times are subject to change a little bit)
The O-corp has decided to resurrect HERT(High End Raiding Team)."
That totally just made my day. This post made by my guild means that I can still raid Kara and ZM (when released) with my team. We can even have the same nights. I just hope that this raiding schedule won't burn me out!

So I think this is the spec I am sticking with
Druid TalentsMinimum Required Level: 70
Required Talent Points: 61
Feral Combat Talents - 47 point(s) | |
Restoration Talents - 14 point(s) | |
Leveling again
Leveling? What is that?
Being capped out at 70 for quite a few months now has made me oblivious to the joys of leveling. With me and my friends needing something to bring back the fun in the game, and keep that spark alive; we decided to start out fresh and level some new toons. This by far was one of the best ideas we have ever come up with. It is nice again to feel the awkwardness of playing a new character that you know nothing about, and finding yourself immersed in the world as something different that what you started. It really opened my eyes to a much different play style.
Did I think I was going to play a priest as my next new class? Honestly, no. What I did think is that I was going to get around to leveling a shaman. Fortunately my friend created Manahole (translation: Man Hole) on my account. While we both laughed at what he had done, I suddenly found myself logging on to this character. It occurred to me about 2 hours later and level six that this was something new and fun. I really think the new content helped as well as something new to look at from the backside. But anyways, I thought that I would just level enough to see the content, then I would delete him like a former priest Cyden. What I did not expect, is that I would soon be playing him as much as my main.
Now level 30, Manahole has really developed into an exceptional priest. It is really a new experience playing a full time healer (and yes, I am going to spec him holy/disc all along the way). I feel very accomplished when we are able to finish a run with little or no casualties, and minimal downtime for drinking. It also feels great that I am needed. Healers can be pretty rare these days. Luckily there is no shortage of heals from this little guy.
I really suggest that you find a small clique, and try this out. You will find yourself having loads of fun, and easy leveling. I must say, the experience you gained from grinding to 70 really does help, and make it a very smooth transition from a noob to leetness.
I would actually like to thank all my friends that level with me. This includes: Stan, Dark, Sky, Shadow, and many others I meet along the way. I love you guys and really cherish the fun times we have together. I hope to reach level 70 with all of you at my side.
