A successful Underbog

I’ve been trying to get into a group for Underbog, and been successful this weekend – twice. The first was with a guildie who wanted to farm motes of life. We didn’t get far, though having two healers in the group meant that the fight with Hungarfen was amusing, it ended up with the tank [...]

The last Slave Pens

I did another Slave Pens run last night, it took 1 hour 37 in the instance. Yes you’re quite right, a level 68 running a level 62+ instance is overpowered. But I’m still getting practice at healing and wanted a run with my new fully Restoration talent spec. Also it was the first invite I [...]

Changes needed

After trying to heal a few Slave Pens pugs I think I still need to make some changes. Many things have contributed to this. 1. I’m getting low on mana during the boss fights, occasionally going completely out and having to heal on my mp5 regeneration, this means a backup healer is needed though there [...]

Easter Pugging Slave Pens

Ii’ve been Pugging Slave Pens this Easter when I wasn’t grinding up another level.First PuG Went OK, we cleared all the bosses and only wiped once, with a further near wipe. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a Paladin’s “bubble” – quite weird. That this run went so comparatively smoothly, gives me hope again, [...]

Pride comes before a fall

Did an Underbog run last night, it did not go well. We didn’t even manage to down the first boss despite several attempts! To make things worse, there was another Munqui guildie there to witness my humiliation. The trash pulls went easily, it was the boss that got us. The last attempt on the boss [...]

Munqui Instances

This isn’t a gripe. Honest I’ve not been in an instance with a Munqui in ages, not since Scarlet Monastery I think. This is mainly my fault. I don’t advertise in guild chat when I’m looking for a group, and I never seem to be available when others advertise or there’s an organised event going [...]

Not much to say.

So far I’ve quite liked the Outlands, the mobs behave differently, and, best of all, the instances are short. The last instance I ran, Blood Furnace, took 1 hour and 40 minutes. Fair play we only wiped once, but we did have a couple of brb (be right back) eating style delays. Add an extra [...]

Healing and Earth Shield notes from the BloodFurnace run

Yeah, yeah, this isn’t of any interest to anyone but me. EarthShield on the warrior accounted for 115k heals averaging 416 heal per go. Direct heals on the warrior from Flowersz accounted for 260k heals. So about 1/3 of the heals on our tank were from Earth Shield. I thought he was easier to keep [...]

Clearing up some old quests and a Blood Furnace run

This weekend I successfully made an effort to clear up some old group quests in my quest log. My quest log has been filling up with group quests lately so I thought I’d have a go a t clearing them down. Most of the quests were level 62 or thereabouts so didn’t present a lot [...]

Ho ho ho, hee hee hee, I’m a laughing shaman and you can’t kill me.

Ho ho ho, hee hee hee, I’m a laughing shaman and you can’t kill me. Unless you’re another player of course. Since I’ve gone Restoration I don’t think I’ve died once outside of instances. The fights take longer, and I now have to “rotate” my elemental shields depending on how much health or mana I [...]
