(H) Pinnacle

Last night we were a little smarter, we didn't pick to do the random heroic... instead we went with Pinnacle.  Been there both on normal and heroic, it's fairly quick and easy for the most part.  I was able to try out a new healing "style" of sort.  Instead of making sure everyone is at 90-100% at all times, I played triage healing.  I'll get more into in anothe post soon.

We wiped a few times, mainly because of me... which I apologize for.  On the last boss, we needed Bounce or Snuggles.... so after a few wipes, our tank switched over to his shadow priest to dispell and our hunter switched over to his tank... boss downed.

All in all it was a descent run, my wife got an upgrade for her shoulders.

Until my next post...

WTF

Alright, wife and I logged on late last night.  It was odd because there wasn't that many guildies online.
We decided to run a heroic to get geared up... Queue up for the random and Stonecore was the flavor. 

I've done this instance on regular and it was fairly easy.  This was my first time doing on heroic along with my wife, skru and krugg.  Let me say, WTF in regards to the first boss. . .  we kept wiping and a little over an hour into it we called it.  I blame myself for it... I will admit, I wasn't capable to heal the amount of damage people were taking.  Maybe I'm a bad healer... maybe I need to work on my rotation... maybe I need to research more on boss fights.... maybe resto druid isn't the best healing class for this particular boss.

On an up note, we have filled out our roster for the 2nd raid team.  We'll try and step into our first raid encounter on Feb 11th.  I'm excited and looking forward to it.  I'll continue to run heroics for upgrades for myself and help others as well.

Until my next post...

Closer than I thought

Apparently I'm closer to the average ilvl gear of 341 than I thought.
I'm at 340 - I forgot I just some Justice Points and Hyjal Rep to obtain some gear.

Still by no means will I stop running heroics.  I'll continue to run them as time permits until we start raiding.
Even then, on off nights I'll probably still run then to obtain some upgrades.  Knowing my luck and past history, I'll be the last person to get an upgrade in raid.... I just roll really crappy, since back in vanilla.

until my next post...

Magic Number and other going on

Apparently the magic number to step into 10-man content is 341.  I forsee a lot more heroic runs in my future.  That's alright though, running heroics with my wife, friend and guildies makes it much more tolerable to endure the length of heroics.  My wife and Skru have gotten several upgrades so far in heroics... I'm still waiting for my turn.
I'll be part of the 2nd 10-man team in the guild, along with my wife and friend.  Hopefully Blackwing Descent will be our first adventure.

On another note, I've been helping my wife level up her jewelcrafting.  I found a nice little farming spot and only need to spend about 45 mins to an hour to get her all the ores she needs.

I do need to replenish my gold though... I'm down to 4k on Puka, so that means more farming for flowers and ores to sell.  It doesn't help that spend a little over 2k last night to max my first aid.


No real updates or pics due I'm posting this from work

Fun times in BRC

Thanks again to guildies, we rand (H) BRC last night.
We had a pally tank, ele shammy, lock, ret pally and myself.

Lets just after 3+ hours, we completed the instance.  Of all of the wipes, the 2nd boss was most entertaining to me.

After several or MANY wipes on this boss... she went down.

I want to thank everyone for sticking it out with us, I did have a blast with all of the wipes.

Until my next post....

(H) Vortex Pinnacle

1. Kids in la-la land. . . check
2. Is wife toon, heroic ready. . .about 45 mins later and 3k later, check
3. Luck it was an all guild run but it had to be something short due time restraints.

Off to Vortex Pinnacle we went...

In this pic is myself, Skru (a good friend) and my wife.

Our and shadow priest went ahead.

All in all, it was a good run.  We wiped a few times but nobody stressed over it and we moved on.  Thank you everyone, it was a fun night.

I'm a loser

I'm a loser, I haven't posted anything for days.

Nothing really to post really, I just been farming in Deepholm and TH.

Been trying to get in heroics but due one reason or another, it isn't happened on a nightly basis.  When I queue in LFG, average wait time has been 43 mins.  I'll get there soon enough, it's not like the next expansion will be out soon... I got at least 2 more years to see and get through content.

Check back here, I'll post some pics and my thoughts on running heroics.

Twilight Highlands

Another night of digging around in Eastern Kingdom, trying to level up Archaeology.

Then off to Twilight Highlands to complete any quests there for rep and gold... all the while queue up for random heroics.

On top of a dragon to kill it, this was a fun quest...

Just thought this pic would look cool...

What a nice way to great Mr. Badass Dragon!

Until my next post...

UMMM....

I'm a slacker, I know! 
Nothing really to say, I have gear to run heroic 5-mans but haven't been in one yet.
When I'm able to commit to the time, people in my guild either is in a run or is about to log for the night.  I queue up in LFG (as dps) but the queue times I've experience is 44+ minutes.   I want to get a couple of heroic gear so I'll be more comfortable healing and if I have to queue up, I won't be waiting so long.

Other updates;  my wife is playing, after a year in hiatus she is back and I am excited.  Our good friend is also back playing the game after a year and a half away.  He did a server xfer and a faction change just to play with us.
On another note, it was mention in gchat last night that the guild first adventure into either 10 or 25-man content will be in about 2 weeks.  I sure hope I can be there for it, I feel like I missed out starting this xpac after most of my guildies.

Anyways, I'll put up a real post with some pics in the next day or two....

WTF

So, I go flying around T.H. and come across this...

I must've missed this when I was playing around in the beta because this caught me by surprise.

Spent most of my day...

Picking flowers and doing some mining.
