No raids, so alts it is

So while everyone else is burning down Ony and ToC my little guild can barely get enough people on to do a 5man. Its to the point one of our members pulled their druid out to join another friends guild just to be able to run things. I have been debating that strategy myself but would feel like I am abandoning my friends so I have not jumped ship yet. So while I mull that over I have been on another server leveling my Horde toons. I have been playing on that server for a couple years but never with any regularity until lately. I have gotten my hunter up to 26 and have been leveling Inscription on my Death Knight and making a nice profit from that. My DK is ready to go in Outland and am kind of waiting on my friend who has his original main on this server but rerolled on our current server when a bunch of us all started at the beginning of BC his warrior has been 56 for like 3 years. We are going to jump into Northrend together and experience the Horde side of Outland and Northrend. It should be a good diversion until we figure out if our guild is gonna do anything.

I was perturbed by this

Did you know you can no longer skin rabbits anymore? I used to skin rabbits on my low level skinners all the time but my friend was leveling an alt yesterday and he couldn't skin a rabbit and so we tried a few others and sure enough you cannot skin the rabbits anymore. I know this is not a game breaking change or anything but why after all this time would they do something so minuscule as that?

Do I need to dual spec Holy?

Lately I have been having a harder time getting into groups on my disc priest. Every pug I see is looking for Holy priests. Now I don't have anything against Holy priests. I leveled 1-70 as Holy and have had plenty of great Holy priests in runs I have done. I just know that with so many Holy pally's out there the need for disc priests is limited and I have had a hard time getting groups. I just don't know whether I want to do that because I really like disc healing. I know I will probably never go shadow I tried it on the ptr a couple times and have never really enjoyed the process it doesn't feel very intuitive to me. I feel I could probably get into alot more groups as a holy priest because raid heals are very sought after all the time. I just don't know if I want to get stuck in that niche.

Coren Direbrew was easy

They clearly didn't want anyone to have a challenge in this years holiday boss. We were 4-manning him because that's all the people we had on at the time. We were kind of waiting for someone to log on but they never did so we just 4 manned it a bunch of times and kept bringing alts in until we ran out. We've still never seen a mount drop from him this year or last but we did finally see a remote so that was cool. I got my tank one of the stam trinkets until I can get my mits on the Black Heart it will do. I hope we can get in some attempts at Ony here pretty soon. Should be a fun encounter

It's true

I again am part of the working world. Back doing my IT thing. That is why I do not have anything new to report. I have not even done anything Brewfest related which I feel kind of sad about because its one of the Holiday events I like. Have I missed anything really cool? I know our guild is really struggling with attendance with barely enough people to even run the Heroic daily most days. I wish we could get back into to running some content, but I know with our limited numbers we just have to take what we can get.

Umm yep

Still here. I don't know what to say about all the stuff going on so I haven't posted anything. Cataclysm sounds good in theory and I will enjoy making a Goblin Shaman hiding behind his totems but other than that we shall see. We did make a run at 10man ToC but we had a little trouble with the beasts. The Worms debuff switching was messing with some of our members and we wouldn't have enough people alive to get through.

The new Patch

Well, its been an interesting week to say the least. Emblems of Conquest now rain down like water from the sky. Having 2 max level JC's has been really great for epic gem cuts. I am really of two minds on the new 5man. I like it because its actually kind of challenging, but at the same time its almost to much for some of the people I run with (and they have a habit of being easily frustrated). This new dungeon really displays the skill disparity between some of our guild members and is causing some issues. There were some pretty heavy repair bills on a run I missed. I have tanked and healed it on Heroic and its actually really fun to tank, and annoying to heal but it is a good challenge. Also I have made sure to do the H Daily on my priest everyday and trying on my tank and boomkin as much as I can. I have already gotten some nice upgrades on my pally and he is almost geared with all new epic gems. Also I have been working on my horde server fairly regularly leveling my hunter and DK. Its quite a change from alliance side on the low levels. I will also have my 5th 80 by the end of the week as my warlock hit 79 Saturday. He's a free agent currently and I will be crashing heroics like mad with him when I hit 80, I am thinking about putting him in a different guild from my other mains as kind of a trial run to see if I would want to be in a raiding guild. We'll see hot it goes. Still looking for a job too, the prospects are few and far between right now.
