Harbinger of Twilight

Blah blah blah, nothing new save for exciting Patch 5.0.4. Despite super exciting talent changes for Warlocks and Perma Tree Form (YAY), nothing else is new and hence I haven't been updating much. Heroic DS blah blah blah, today we were treated with a surprising delight. We managed to magically get Deck Defender on heroic mode thus finishing our Meta Mount. This amongst UI's messing up and everyone still getting a feel of their classes. Though I'd have to say I really like the resto druid changes, our heals feel beefier, the new talents give us a bit more flexibility with cooldowns, and I am still trying to justify the useless use of our new healing magic mushrooms.

(Not sure what's wrong with the lighting in this picture either, whatever)

The end.

Azeroth is Saved

My beloved druid Turny's fate had been sealed the moment he hearthed away from Anub'arak's rotting corpse beneath the Argent Tournament grounds. He would be the one to lead in "progression". (Shut up, I know MOP is close and everyone has killed Heroic Deathwing, but shush). We've been working for a couple weeks on Heroic Madness and let me just
say....wow can this fight be any more boring? You think Spine is boring, think again. 3 Platforms of mind-numbingness, then one platform of mildly intense healing, then apparently Deathwing's head platform is all out madness...at least for our first kill anyways.

We've been working out a lot of kinks. A LOT of kinks. We had our mechanics pretty much down on the get-go, and it was mainly an issue of (in order), surviving impales, placement of parasites, not running off the platform while zoned out (guilty), and nuking down adds. Anyways, Azeroth is safe and now I must go pick up garbage for the Darkmoon Faire folk.

Looks Nerfed to Me

In response to Ratshag's pondering of whether or not the Reins of the Raven Lord drop rates have been nerfed, I think they have! (Or probably not)

I haven't been to Sethekk in a while, I used to run it almost everyday on my druid when it was pretty much druid exclusive to no luck.

His post reminded me about this mount that I was still missing, and that..well I can has! It actually looks better and featherier than I had expected!

July Updates

Wow, I just realized I haven't updated my blog in a very long time!

I'm still here!

Sooooo what's been going on? Firstly I've just finished going through job transition in the real life, always exciting to have more money! I got my big accounting exam results back as well, I passed yay! I also bought a new car, which I am going to inspect and pick up tomorrow..yay!

How about in game? Well, I decided that I really like healing, so I secretly made a SECOND druid. A resto druid. He made lots of friends in Azeroth via QUESTING and was quite glad to finally hit 85 to do the Gearing Game. As of now he is 386 and has slain the "real" Deathwing twice. He's in boomkin gear but he can hold his own.

How about NORMAL characters? Well, as we all know the 30% "buff" was implemented yesterday, and PROBABLY because of this buff Turny the Resto Tree is officially 7/8H. Oh Spine...................so boring. We're going to attempt Heroic Madness on Monday...and...I shall perhaps report on our shenanniganings!

*Yawn*

Turny the Local Grocer

400 Achieved!

Ahh what's this blog without the occasional loot raging?

So one of my goals was to hit a PVE ilvl of 400 or higher before the end of this expansion, and today and last week's bounty had hit the spot!

Despite still having a 378 offhand, the Vagaries of Time that everyone seems to have is my druid's new toy, a significant spellpower upgrade from my 397 Visage. However, maces suck. Transmogs for maces lack in beautifulness. Anyways.

Hagara proved to be a Bountiful Bitch, as she dropped both the pretty heroic T13 red shoulders (love those red stones), and a Girdle of the Grotesque.

Ultimately I gained about 400 spellpower and 1% mastery. Also I got lucky on Spine (working on heroic now) and got lucky with the passive 880 spirit trinket which allowed me to transmog out around 900 spirit into pure throughput via mastery. (I found 3,200 spirit was plenty comfortable).

I know everyone and their rainbow shitting cats are have been 8/8 HM for half a year now, but I'm just glad we manged to get 6/8 (as of 06/25/2012) to be doing something "current" while it is still "current". Sort of.

I need a red-offhand!
