PVP healing

Jan4

Last night we ran Heroic HoO and tried for a few achievements. I got my first heroic piece, the Scepter of Power.

Afterwards I tried holy and disc in arena with Janusz, but it’s clearly not working out.   A 2 dps team can beat down a priest like it’s nothing and we have little defenses in either spec.  I decide to go shadow, rather than disc, for arena pvp and so I can quest.  I will still do battlegrounds, raids, and dungeons are holy though.  Ran Arathi Basin before I logged, and how bad assed does this look?

Healing in battlegrounds at least makes you feel useful and can turn the tide of the battle.

Box Head

The other day I did some more quests and this one is just a funny prop.

Tonight I queue up for a regular random and get Tol’Vir.  We kill the first boss then the entire party leaves, leaving me to queue up and wait again.  The entire party was all from Stormreaver: Forceflexx, Sarkastik, Vicken, and Ravn, You ALL SUCK.

After that I queue up with Leonz and two other guildies, who specifically ask to do normal for a quest.  Fine.  We finish HoO then they want to queue again, only after waiting like 10 mins or whatever, both of them go afk, don’t confirmt the boxes and we lose the queue. I got pissed and pointed that out and they said maybe they’d do it later.  I leave group in a huff, I won’t lie.

I group up with Octo and Jan to do bgs and we get Arathi, and midway through they leave to queue Tol Barad, which I hadn’t queued for, and I got bitchy again.  I’m not having a good night.  I stay in that stupid battle and we lose.  Alliance… god.  We suck, tonight, seriously. Fuck.

The Dookie Tree

Dec27

Today I basically just farmed several battlegrounds, and WG and Tol  Barad until I got enough honor to pick up my PVP Helm.  I had some fun in WG though and busted up at least 3 vehicles by myself while resisting all the horde.  Being 85 in pvp gear has major perks against level 80’s.

During on BG a druid turns into that god awful ugly tree and I comment “that has gotta be the ugliest tree of all time”.  The person “lol”s and says they call it “the dookie tree”

Grim Batol

Dec26

Today I logged in and ran Twin Peaks bg and we won, earned 198 honor, and earned two achievements, Drag a Maw and Twin Peaks Perfection. I wait in the Tol Barad queue for about 14 mins and do not get in right away, and rather than wasting time waiting for it I queue up for a normal dungeon.

I get an in progress Grim Batol. They comment after the first boss, on how bad the other healer was.

We do ok until the last boss where half the dps clearly doesn’t know the right and are not getting in the center of the shadow gale thing. We wipe, then the boomkin leaves, which is fine because they are under 5k dps anyway. We get that boss down.

Leonz tells me he wants an invite to the guild so I do so. We then run Tol’vir together. One paladin down, one more to go XD  The DK tank is lagging like hell but Leonz picked up the slack and tanks all the laggy spots, and we finish it even with the tank dead.  Sometime during this I hit Revered with Hyjal so I can go pick up the head enchant

Does Cloth Exist?

Dec23

I switch my off spec to holy and try to get use to it in some battlegrounds.  Not having shields is difficult to get use to though, it’s just part of my play style so much I’m going to have to really get use to another way.

Pauldie invites me to a guild run of Heroic Lost City of the Tol’vir, and we wipe once on a boss, due to me getting bounced around (I didn’t know the fight) and another time I lost the druid, but we got it down.  Not a single cloth piece drops, which seems to be the theme for this expansion.  I get that achievement though.

We also get guild level 6 during this run.
