A Few Things
Firstly, I’m sorry if this seems jumbled, I’m on my 5th day this week of waking up before 5:00 am with no reason or rhyme as to why. Just – dead asleep to wide awake, no going back. It’s starting to get really annoying and, I think affect how I am reacting to everyday things. I’ve probably drank my weight in energy drinks the last few days, and yes, I know they’re not really all that helpful, but my mind is clouded right now. Sigh. Help?
Secondly, AC went into Black Temple for the first time on Sunday night. I thought the trash before Naj’entus was laughable. Really I did. People say that the first few bosses are easier than Vashj and Kael; and while we only saw the first boss (repeatedly, a lot of the time from the floor) I’d say they’re probably right.
Some things I noticed:
Tank druids, you’re pefectly suited to trash tanking, and even, though some might disagree, to tanking Naj’entus himself. He doesn’t do a lot of damage, it’s the stupid spiky frost damage we’ve got to worry about. Given the chance, I think I’d like to try tanking him, just to see, but that’d mean I’d have to fight off the warriors, and… hmmm.
We learned that shaman chain heals are awesome in here. Amirite?
Kitty druids, yeah, that frost damage hurts, doesn’t it. Unfortunately for kitties we’re stuck right up in fish-tail and really can’t see a lot of what’s going on. Really watch for those around you that are getting spined, the spines are huge. Grab it and get back to dpsing.
Something I found useful. Right before the person with the spine goes to break the shield I would hit regrowth (you’ve got healing spells out on your bar even in cat form, right? right?) and it would insta-shift me out of cat and cast insta-regrowth thanks to my 2pc T5 bonus. This fight and Zul’jin are the only two fights I’ve found this to be REALLY useful for. Anyways, if timed correctly, you really don’t see a drastic drop in your health after the shield breaks and you can drop right back into cat and keep dpsing.
We also tried putting the five druids in the raid all in different groups for the spread out Tranquility spell. Can’t say it was TOO successful, but it didn’t hurt, either.
We figured after 8 tries and a complete trash respawn we’d just come back another day. 14% tho on one of the attempts, I’m pretty impressed.
Oh, and Anetheron kicked our butts in MH again last night, but we’re not gonna go there.
Thirdly, if ever you’ve played WoW with me you’ll have seen that sometimes, I go a bit crazy about certain things, like, oh, farming. I love farming. Don’t get me wrong, it’s tedious as all get out, but I love it, I’m weird. My latest farming kick – rep. I’m currently working on Kelektra’s 2oth Exalted faction.
Currently, I’m Exalted with the following: Darnassus, Ironforge, Stormwind, Cenarion Expedition, Honor Hold, Kurenai, Netherwing, Ogri’la, Sporeggar, The Consortium, Lower City, Sha’tari Skyguard, Shattered Sun Offensive, The Scryers, The Sha’tar, Argent Dawn, Keepers of Time, The Violet Eye, and Timbermaw Hold.
I’m working on Exodar now (3.5k to go!) and then, then I don’t know. SO! Here’s where I put it to the internets for questioning. Everybody loves a good poll, right? Check it out over there —>>
I have training tonight from 6pm till 10pm, am I gonna make it, or will I need to down approximately 4-5 more energy drinks today. We shall see…
Edits: The poll is really hard to see, but I don’t want to change the text colour of the whole blog, so, your choices: Zandalar Tribe, Thorium Brotherhod, Cenarian Circle, Gnomeregan Exiles.
