The healer’s guilty secret

I’m going to let you into something today, it’s a dirty secret of mine, and I think every healer probably shares it though I bet many wouldn’t admit it. The secret is…. healing gets easier everytime a DPS dies. Well, not quite always, but very nearly. In just about every 5 man I’ve been in [...]

Pits

The guildies kindly took me into Forge of Souls the other night, normal to start, and then immediately after, Heroic. As a shammy healer at my gearing and with these DPS/tank FoS isn’t a bother. I think we might have wiped once, but it went very well. I was going to do the JC daily [...]

Best thing since sliced bread?

I’ve only used the new LFG tool the once and it worked a dream in the instance within 5 minutes! I’ve been reading a few blogs and plusheal and elsewhere and the general impression is that this is what it’s all about! And it could be the best thing that Blizz have done in a [...]

Things that make you go hmmmmm.

Smythy posted an interesting comment on my first Northrend tanking experience. In case you can’t be arsed reading it he says “If you have a very sensible (or spiteful) healer, they?ll let any over-agroing DPS?er drop dead, because that way the mob will usually just wander back over to the tank afterwards.” I mostly heal [...]

Run away quickly.

The munquis went for the first Icecrown Citadel raid last night. After an interesting issue with Phasing where  no one could see anyone else – making summoning particularly difficult, we gathered together inside the instance and started on the trash. There’s a fair bit of trash, which gives you plenty of time to hear the [...]

Drive by Shooting

Sue was visiting a bunch of news sites the other night, trying to find something or other about Strictly Come Dancing, when suddenly a notepad window popped open with random looking text in it, starting with the dangerous MZ characters and including some text or other about “this program cannot be run in DOS mode”. [...]

Hit me with your rhythm stick

Hit me! The new LFG got me an Utgarde Keep run in about 10 minutes which beats the several hours last week by about several hours. This was Fflowers first tank since his teens, which explains why a level 74 went into a level 70 instance. Also it makes the whole defence/hit cap stuff much [...]

Slow part 2

Sorry about that last post, but it’s been bugging me for ages. Died in Onyxia a few times last night, she was bugged so I doubt that we would have got her down anyway. So what did I die to? 1. Wing Buffet killed me and knocked me into the Whelp Cave. Good job I [...]

Slow

Ghost wolf: 1.5 second cast, 40% speed increase, can only be used outside. Summon Mount: 1.5 second cast 60-100% speed increase, can only be used outside. Gimme a break! Once you hit 20 and can buy a mount untalented Ghost Wolf is a total sham! Sure you can put 2 points into Improved Ghost Wolf [...]

All clear

I got to raid with the Munquis on Monday, 10 man Trial of the Crusader and it went well. Considering this is my second visit, and first “proper” visit (aka downed Northrend beasts), it went very very well, in fact so well that we cleared the place in a single evening! Flowersz got some loot [...]
