Quick Note

I have been in game a little bit this week. Just trying to take it all in. I haven't even logged in on my pally yet. Only my Boomkin is fully gemmed, talented, glyphed, regemmed and reforged. I am not sure all of those are exactly the way I want them and I have to get new boot made because a while back I had the cloth boots made and now with Leather Specialization I am missing out on that boost, but without really knowing what I was doing I dropped almost 10k on Raz in the weekly. I think once I get my rotation down well I will really be blowing stuff up big time. I have logged onto my shammy, mage, hunter, and priest as well and am in the process of getting them ready to do stuff but I haven't even logged into my pally, warrior, dk, or warlock. The warlocks and pallys in guild have not been very happy about there toons so I have been a little tentative. I don't play my warrior or dk much so no hurry there lol. I have plusses and minuses on the new things but I'm not ready to get real in depth with it I will just leave you with two thoughts.

XP from herbing, I kind of like it but in a way it feels like a bit too much I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
I am a huge fan of reforging. I think it might be a little too cheap cause for 10 gold that is a no brainer, and I kind of thought it would be something that you would need to work for but I'm not gonna complain because it is working out great for me :)
Thats all for now

Question: How will I feel if we don't kill the Lich King before Cata

Yes I know everybodys killed Lich King already besides me what have I been doing. Well with our inconsistent raid team, our very small raiding window and having never extended a raid, we have only gotten 9/12 and have taken a couple shots at Blood Queen. Now this isn't a knock on my team we do the best we can with what we've got, but its getting pretty close to the finish line and unless we get real serious real quick we are probably not going to get the Lich King down before its expansion time. Now as ICC is the first raid I have been in where I have been working current content I don't have a lot of complaining to do. I am blessed to have found such a great home when I was basically looking to start over fresh. I like to think I have been a good contributor, and that my guild is as glad to have me as I am to be apart of their group. There are some really good players in our guild and we have some amazing people who keep every day online entertaining. I don't think there could possibly be a better place for me. I get just the right amount of raiding and free time. We are not hard core but we put forth a great effort when we do take our shots. I guess to answer my own question I will be happy to have given it my shot and be thankful I was at least having a good time all the way there. I would never have imagined even being this close when my old guild just gave up when we had a little trouble with Gluth. I have seen a lot of Ulduar, as much of ToC as I want, lol, and killed most of the bosses in ICC. Its been an amazing run and I think with all this experience we might make some real noise in Cataclysm.
Well thanks for humoring me.

Been busy and still not much new

I know my posting has really fallen off lately. I started a temp job which has been great but has left me drained and I'd rather just play or watch a movie or something then think about posting and I have always said "Post when you want to!" Which I stand by for myself too. We did down Princes last night so that was fun we brought someone with some experience so that helped quite a bit. They did have a different strategy on Putricide then we usually use that took up most of our night figuring out. I was pretty disappointed in that actually and I think it was partially that other persons fault on our first wipe because they didn't work with our strategy which has been getting pretty close to a one shot the last few weeks for us. Now I bet we'll be slogging through this different strategy slowing us down for a few weeks. I have been trying really hard to get through the first sets of bosses really quickly so we can really put in some good attempts on the fights we need work on. Well we'll see how it goes thats about all I got typeatyalater

I'm Alive!!

I just haven't had that urge to spill my guts to the interwebz. I have a new temp job that makes me get up early (for me) in the morning and thats been sapping my energy. Our raiding has xontinued for the most part we are 8/12 in group 1, and just moved to 6/12 in group 2. There some mixing of the groups from our original group 1 but its been pretty productive. My mage Eatfloor made 80 over the weekend giving me 9 80's every class but rogue. Considering my highest level rogue is currently a level 2 bank alt that doesn't appear to be changing any time soon. I have found that leveling is what continues to draw me in. I get burnt out on leveling here and there but I always seem to find a way to get caught up in another alts trip to the endgame. I think my 73 hunter will soon be my first class with 2 80's. I have been a huge fan of hunters for a long time. I have 6 or 7 on various servers between 19 and 80. I used to be really into researching what pets had what skills to be taught what pets you had to catch to train your current pets. I understand why they simplified the process but it really gutted a lot of the work I put in on my first hunter and when they classed pets up it seems like all the pets I liked were nerfed or changed and I've never gotten back into my original hunter since then I do love leveling them and pvping with them though. Having a pet with you seems so much more RPG to me and it seems much more immersive when I am leveling my hunters. I don't really have any set goals I'm trying to achieve in game. I want to finish ICC or at least get to the Lick King before Cata. If I see the fight I think that would be enough for me. All my toons are leveled up. I am working on gearing my 5th or 6th alt which gets old pretty fast and I am trying to get into pvp but I just haven't gotten that spark lately maybe being on a PVE server has quenched my rage for the horde. There was always a lot of need to pvp after getting ganked while leveling that I just don't fear anymore. I hope that they have more Wintergrasp like elements in Cataclysm as its really been the only pvp I've done on any kind of regular basis in this expansion. Well I guess I had a few things to say after all. :)

I've been trying to finish Reg Halls Of Reflection on my warlock

He doesn't have good enough gear to get in heroic according to lfg so I was trying to do it on regular to finish the quest chain. I got in a group we killed the first 2 bosses easily enough and the shield didn't drop so of course the tank bailed so he could re-queue. a couple of us waited 10 minutes or so, but when we didn't get anyone it fell apart. So I re-queued. I got the same tank with a whole different group. Blow through the first 2 bosses, no shield, he drops group again. Now this time I was with a very patient group. Everyone waited 35 minutes and we didn't get another tank, so everyone said thanks but I've got other things to do. I really appreciated that and they were great we talked about a bunch of stuff while we were waiting, they were a great group. I understand why the tank did it. but I would just like to put this out there. Its only another 10 minutes max, you really could help out everyone else and maybe get some good karma points for yourself towards getting the shield to drop.

No news is the S.O.P.

We are still working on ICC and I am still playing a wide variety of my toons. I have my mage almost 78 and am having a blast having my Boomkin over here. I even got my boomkin in our 2nd raid team. He does some pretty good dps if I do say so. I also healed in tree spec with him for the first time ever. It was on festergut. I hadn't actually healed on my druid since a failed heroic at 70 while still boomkin specced. We were having some trouble keeping the tanks up so I offered my newly dual-specced services. It worked out but I really didn't feel like I was that needed once I was there. It seemed really easy although we barely beat the enrage so my dps was missed :) Just plugging away having fun and killing stuff.

Its funny I thought I was a little burnt out

It turns out all I needed to do was transfer my Boomkin over and it cured all my ills. Its weird because it has gotten me playing all my other toons more too. I have been running more in the last week then I think I had in the three weeks previous. We started our second raid team up again and I got my priest in there it was kind of fun. I now have 6 80's on the server and my mage is 77 making great progress through. I am so glad you can start the tournament at 77 it really helps make for speedy leveling. My mage already has 50 triumph emblems thanks to the daily random dungeon. I have been leveling frost and I am going to keep a frost spec because right now it just works so well for me. I am consistently hitting 2200-2400 dps at 77 Deep Freeze really makes Frost a strong spec and I have gotten crits as high as 12000 with it already. I like big numbers :)

PS when you haven't been in ToC 10 for a few months it can be brutal when they put the weekly in there.
