High As a Kite... Or Atleast I'm Almost Flying

Morannon dinged 67 today, and I gamed on until half way through 67. A mere 300k xp is between my furry avatar and that coveted flight form. I. Want. It. So. Bad! 

I had my first tanking run in Sethekk Halls at 66, which turned out to be quite smooth - mostly thanks to a really nice healing paladin, who marked and guided very well. And some tough as nail dps crews :) Got my self a nice ring I'd wish I knew how to link to - that on the blogging-to-do-list.

Morannon just broke the magic 15,5k armor tonight after acquiring some rather nifty slippers in Blade's Edge Mountains. Speak a bit of bird and they seem to throw them after you - nice folks all around :)

This turned out to be another short entry, but I'm really tired after a whole day of leveling. It's almost three a clock and got a brisk appointment with the gym in morning. Last thing to note would be a talent spec I've been pondering for when I turn 70.

Amazing talent spec

It's almost half n' half restoration and balance, but does include swiftmend though not all the way down to Tree of Life. If anyone has anything to comment on it I'd be grateful. I haven't tried specced caster as a druid so far, so anything is most likely educational for me :)

Anyhoo - goodnight all!

Don't Hesitate, Lacerate!

Stealing a fellow druid bloggers name for this quick post. Morannon just turned 66 and I've been looking for a lacerate-on-mouse-over macro. Once I get a bit more spare-time I'll find one and tank the shizzle out of Outlands! :)

Kill the Skull, Sheep the Moon and Pop the Champagne!

Had my second, third and fourth Underbog run today -  and what a blast! I find that tanking an instance you’ve never been through before is a bit like stumbling to the toilet at night without glasses or lenses (or in pitch black for those of you less visually challenged). I dont know the bosses. I dont know the way and I dont know the pulls (and apparently I dont know where to find good guides to instances either...). After a run or two the bosses are generelly down, and most of the tricky pulls are learnt by trial and oftenmost error. This time I had a very nice rogue mark and brief me tactics for the bosses, which helped quite a bit,  but by the third run I was marking, pulling and tanking like I’d never done anything else (and I admit I have). Not a single wipe, not a single death and the mobs were dying on a conveyor belt. Clean, efficient and painless pulls are great, but when they’re executed swiftly and with minimal pauses that’s a really nifty feeling.

Big thanks to some excellent healers and a crafty dps-crew is of course long overdue by now. It’s great to be 100% comfortable with the healer and just knowing that no matter what, as long as I keep the mobs from chopping him up that pally will keep me on my feet. 

That sure muddied the clear view to a level 70 existence as healer – hmmm, more and more thinking. And the trusty MacBook managed to keep me above 10 fps for most of the run. So I’m looking at two investments at the moment. A fair bit of time and gold to level my leatherworking to Heavy Clefthoof standards, and a fair bit of time and gold to level my computer to smooth-tanking standards.

 

Or downloading Clique and Healbot...

 

Ohh, and Morannon dinged 65 – apparantly a level a day is still possible J

The Great Spec Knockout and Vodka Shooting Competition Is Coming To An End

It's been about a fortnight since my last post and I've managed to climb a whole level up the progression ladder. Impressive dedication and awesome skillz is what I'm made of... Still I've been awfully busy with repairing my kitchen after the Great Concrete Collapse of 2008. The project ended with a very nice and very pretty kitchen table in a nice grey hue that matched my other colors of choice. Or actually, make that two nice grayish kitchen matching tables. The bugger cracked right in the middle. A beautiful straight crack, but nonetheless a big ol' crack. 

I've managed to fit a few temporary solutions regarding water and stove, but things are not at ease in the Hundred Acre Wood...

In Azeroth Morannon dinged 64 yesterday. I've decided that levelling from 60-70 is a downright b1tch. The only sensible reaction to this is a decision only to play when I'm getting rested xp to maximize the benefits my time investment. Luckily Blegfed the Warlock and Tveskaeg the Hunter are in dire need of some quality time lovin', and rested xp last quite long when the level bar is 700k long :) 

After dinging 64 and visiting the nice folks at the Moonglade I hearted back to Blade's Edge. I logged of and watched Inter leave the Champions League with a bitter defeat to Liverpool (darned english teams...). Did a wee bit of studying and went to bet. And then it hit me! Braxxis is burning in my backpack like a five dollar bill on fire in a strippers thong. Out of bed and booting up the game. Logging on without my lenses in was harder than anticipated (I'm blind as mole without 'em) but somehow I managed, and the rewards was sweeeeet. 13.000 armor and 67% damage reduction. I just became 15% more healer friendly :) And I'm just two levels away from Lacerate. ZOMG I love this game! 

At 64 Lifebloom arrived in my spellbook. The lure of resto never sleeps it seems. I was sorely tempted to respec using Phae's balance/resto leveling spec, but the huge armor boost of Braxxis has steadied my hand. For a while atleast. So 2-3 to feral but the resto/balance is pushing hard to even out the score.
