Ran TB and won it, and I didn’t die the entire battle, and killed many horde.  The next two battles I didn’t get in at all though.

I went back to herbing in Twilight Highlands, after deciding to stick to only making a few flasks and selling the other herbs for income.   I need my transmute living elements for cloth for my mage, and farming enough herbs to make all flasks nets me no money at all for raid repairs and such.  I am going to focus on making the spirit and int flasks and sell the others.

Speaking of flask making, I made 5 Flowing Water and 5 draconic mind and not a single one proc’d.  UGH.  The Steelskin ones proc a few times though.

I catch a TB battle with Nilvana later in the afternoon, and on my way to defend a tower I run into a rogue named [url=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/whisperwind/lad%C3%AEesman/advanced]Ladîesman[/url], yes with the character like that.  I’ve seen him many times in WG too. For some reason the alliance that were there all ran off and I was left to deal with the blood elf rogue myself, and I killed him and blew a kiss at the bones.  At 20% health I go to run off but he’s back already, saps me and kills me. Bleh.

Later I run into him again at Slagworks

and he shakes off dying at least twice by doing whatever rogue trickery they do to throw off my dots and vanish.  But, apparently I’ve made a fan.

We successfully defend, and it was quite a fun battle.

Later we run Baradin’s Hold and get it in the first try, unlike that other night where things went so bad.  A very nice pvp trinket drops, and Leonz says he’ll give it to me if he wins, which he does, and he gives it to me.  So of course this means free strength flasks, which fortunately come from herbs that I have an easier time finding than others.  I also make him an Embersilk bag on my mage and mail it off.

Since the raid tonight did not go down, we form up with Maice, me, Seanjohn, Darth, Stout and run a heroic, and get Deadmines.  That goes fine, though nothing dropped I could use.  I really need to do these daily as I am still only at around 770 valor points.

Today I spent the majority of my day in Tol Barad, where we won, won, then lost with people screwing around in the middle not defending. You cannot do half of the dailies when horde owns it either, turns out. Sigh. I farmed up something like 10 stacks of Whiptail, half of which I gave to Dontpunt in trade for the cloth I’ve been getting. That guy is like a Swiss army knife or something.

Since I would like to quest on the priest, still, and be useful in arena, I end up switching my disc spec to shadow. I have no intention of dungeon-ing or raiding as shadow, though. Unfortunately disc is suffering from a lack of love right now. Disc has pw barrier, pw shield, power infusion, pain supression and that inner focus buff. Oh and penance. Holy on the other hand, gets the better Renew, most of the heals disc gets, plus Circle of Healing, plus Chakra which gives you access to some neat tricks based on what spells you are using, plus Spirit of Redemption, those guardian wings, etc. Holy should have always rightfully been the better healer, but the shields lack of usefulness plus holy being “forced” into not overhealing like mad, which is how I always played, it suits me better now.

Disc would need a few more tricks before, I think, it would be on par. Maybe like a vanish or fade Final Fantasy 3 style (completely avoid the next few hits), Mirage, etc. Just having a strong shield is a little boring when you can’t outheal lots of damage fast and efficiently.
