After the sustained fun of healing yet another Druid tank through Old Hillsbrad (aka Caverns of Time – Durnhold) I thought I’d take a little break and I’ve now rolled a new alt, a Druid that I’m going to make a Tank. I’ve called her Flowerz, not to be mistaken for Flowersz the resto Shaman. [...]
Friday I put Flowersz up for a Caverns of Time – Durnhold run in the hopes that I could complete that lingering Escort Quest. It didn’t look good at first, we spent ages looking for a Tank for our group. Eventually our druid was persuaded to respecc and took up the post of Tank. All [...]
A little ago I posted this. Occasionally, over the past couple of weeks, I’ve thought about that particular dungeon. I think I felt like such a poor player because this is probably the only time I’ve ever been in an excellent group, not simply good, but outstanding. My usual groups have been pickup groups and [...]
I’m back from my 1 week holiday abroad and I’m covered in bites that itch like crazy. Enough to wake me up at night sometimes despite all the creams and anti-histamine pills I’m taking. Since my last post Flowersz has been been doing some shopping and now owns quite a bit more of the purchasable [...]
Crikey! I’ve done some thinking about my posts yesterday. What a bloody whinger! Fortunately an evening spent around the horses put me right. As soon as I logged on last night I got invited to an impromptu Kara run, which was “surprise birthday cake” sweet! I turned it down for several reasons, the most important [...]
I’ve read a bit about “welfare epics” before, but they’ve not really meant anything to me. However I think I get it now. Flowersz has been slowly improving her gear and might just about be Karazahn ready in a few more weeks, and 6-12 more dungeon runs. But I’ve now seen a couple of guildies [...]
I did a guild run of Sethekk Halls last night. We cleared the place with an accidental wipe on Trash at one point. Technically a good run. It has made me think…. Firstly I was hardly needed, we had a hunter, two rogues and a Druid Tank (who is an alt of the Guild Leader). [...]
This is written from a healer’s perspective. What with doing the Thrall escort quest I’ve actually taken a little time to look at Focus in WoW. The problem I’ve had is on escort quests the NPC you’re escorting isn’t added to your party. This means you can’t find them easily using CTRL+TAB or any of [...]
A guild run! My first “proper” guild run I think. We didn’t complete the instance despite having 3 70′s and 2 69′s. I think the group makeup contributed significantly, we had: two healers, two Protection specced warriors and a warlock. Everything was just taking too long to kill so we got overwhelmed by adds in [...]
Last night I helped a guildie Warlock help another level 60 ish Warlock in Scholomance to complete part of the Warlock mount quest. My first 60 was a warlock (and he’s still 60 now), so I felt that this was a worthwhile endeavor and completely in keeping with my being helpful policy. i’ve only got [...]
