Phew

Ho Ho! Guild run last night. I must say I was very hesitant when asked to heal, Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle of all places! Rated in the “tough” category by some healers. Still I relented and agreed to “preside over their deaths” .
Before the run I re-talented and moved a few talent points around away [...]

Fashion

As you know, I’ve been agonising about my “situational awareness” particularly not getting out of the fire. In a strange quirk this has sort of come up on PlusHeal and then Torbold posts suggesting training rooms (my words).
Training rooms (or holo-decks) is exactly what I’m looking for. For healers I would see it as a [...]

No Utgarde Keep :(

There was no-one (literally) in LFG for heroic Utgarde Keep last night, so I Pugged Heroic Violet Hold. It started off so so, we wiped on the first boss, the Void Walker one, and immediately one of the players left. So we all hung around waiting for a replacement (or two as it happened) and [...]

Did a little more messing aroud with my setup, it’s not bad, though I may not get used to the chat window on the bottom right. I’ll probably move it back to the left again.
Strangely I was suffering from heavy heavy disk thrashing and the occasional ridiculously slow framerate (1fps!) Since I’ve actually disabled some [...]

Misery loves company.

There’s, for me, a timely post on PlusHeal from a new healer asking for tips on how to avoid tunnel vision. Makes me feel a little better, even though I’m not a new healer by any stretch. Most of the suggestions are about spotting when you are taking damage and remembering to heal yourself. I [...]

Get out of the fire!

Or should I stay or should I go now?
After the last post I fielded a couple of whispers from concerned guild mates. These raised quite a bit of guilt, I didn’t want to get into a whole debate about why I should stay, so most of my responses were very non-committal bordering on the outright [...]

Sometimes you just have to accept it.

Guild run on Azjol-Nerub last night. Possibly the worst run I’ve ever been on. 4 good players, 1 bad player. I really can’t put guildies through this anymore.
By an amazing coincidence it is exactly 6 months to the day when I posted this.
Today my reasons are different, I think they’re much more solid this time. [...]

Geesh!

This article on the bbc news! I’m rendered speechless!
Inalienable rights. Discrimination. Segregation. Rank stupidity!
Chunner, chunner, chunner!

Clarification

In no way was my previous post an attempt to say that Flowersz isn’t good enough to raid. Just a warning that gear can be bought, not earned.
If I’m invited I’m going! (Real Life permitting)
