Misstick (my warrior) is up to L61! Just under 44 hours from 0-60.
Both mining and JC at 300 too, now just the slog through Hellfire
Peninsula to get through, before I can choose another area that I
haven't done quite so often...

A couple of my pvp leather gear sold this week, only a few bits left
now.

Other than that, not much going on, I expect this week will be more
levelling, I'm aiming for at least L65, but Battlefield 3 is taking up
more of my time.

Congrats :-)

I was surprised to sell one of mine the other day, considering the
recipe got upgraded with the patch and so my old item wasn't as good
as what can be crafted now. Not complaining about 1k gold for a
character with very little money though :-) Since Chaos orbs because
unsoulbound I've been farming a bit of leather and finally got my
shaman a new chestpiece, next up will be her belt :-)

Hehe :-) I've not done as much as usual this week but run some of the
new 5-mans again and got my bf geared to 372 so we've done all of
Dragon Soul in Raid Finder now - surprisingly oneshotted every boss,
healing felt hard work but never unmanageable, think they've pitched
the difficulty level about right, since I'm guessing there's a load of
raiders (and knowledgeable alts of raiders) queueing atm, once they
get geared up, what's left over still needs to be able to actually
beat the fights! No luck with drops for me but did at least get enough
VP for a new necklace, looking forward to running again next week :-)

I quite like healing in raid finder, with seveal healers aoe healing
nobody's going to be pointing fingers at specific healers if things go
wrong so pressure's off - was wondering if there'd be any comments
aimed at the healing when a tank died 3 times in one fight last night
but nope, the comments were all aimed at the "paper tank" for not
using his damage reduction cooldowns lol :-) Gotta say I'm glad they
upped the ilvl requirements though, I ran oom most bossfights with 373
gear, 365 would've been hard! Admittedly people learning to press the
flippin' button on Ultraxion would help on that fight, only half the
raid ever bothered (kinda wish it was a oneshot on Raid Finder,
apparently it is in the other modes, and that'd save healer mana no
end, plus actually make people think about what they're doing a bit
more)

Haven't done a lot else this week, my usual rep runs and a ton of
Darkmoon Faire stuff, farmed up a few of the quest drops in low lvl
instances (ZF is very handy, two of them drop on mobs in the same room
as each other), got a pet on my priest, shoulders on my rogue and kilt
on my shaman, which already looks pretty good with her existing gear,
looking forward to the rest of the outfit :-)

Traditionally, Holy Paladins have been considered tank healers. But
I'm so busy playing with my new Holy Radiance in 25-mans that
sometimes I forget to heal the tank lol. It used to be that I could
drop the formerly instant-cast Holy Radiance and continue healing the
tank. But now it has a three-second cast time. And it doesn't transfer
the heal through Beacon. So the tank gets no healing.

When a tank dies in LFR I sometimes check Recount's Death Log and see
that the tank got no direct heals at all - just AoE healing from PoH,
Healing Rain, Wild Growth, etc. No Greater Heals. No Divine Lights.

I must remember to look away from all the pretty green healing numbers
on my screen when I cast Holy Radiance (which lags my computer, by
thet way rofl), and actually heal the tank. :P

With the new stuff to do, I was motivated to play again. So I played a
lot, thanks to two days off.

My scribe had 5 darkmoon decks ready for my achiever, and I did all the
daily quest, everyday, with him. I looked for the special items, too. Saw
one on Benedictus, but lost it, so I checked on wowhead.

Don't remember exactly what I got where, but I sent my druid to stormwind
to farm the stockades. It was very quick, so I left the druid there after
I got the message "you entered in too many instances". With maybe 10-15
run, I got 4 quest items. Used one, checked the AH. Ok, so people are
selling these 5000 gold. I put one à 1800, it sold. Ok, I put another one
at 2800, it sold. I was unable to sell the third one, but that was nice.

I sent my rogue engineer to Tanaris with his dimensional teleporter. The
farm of Zul Farak was not very successful, so I sent the hunter to
Stratholme, and he got the egg. At last, the rogue was successful and he
got the two items (egg from Gazz'rila and wather from the priestess).

Since some item were from PVP, I did some PVP. I was sent in island of
the ancient four times in a row... Great. Then, Twin Peaks. I got an
achievement about killing five different dwarves, and two out of three
quest items. I bought the last 400 gold. The only one missing is the one
you get in an heroic cataclysm (strategy book or something), because I
was not in the mood of an heroic cataclysm run. The auction house was not
selling, so it will be next time. I tried a Zul'Aman timer with the
guild, but we where too short of 4 minutes (but it seems the third boss
didn't gave any more time).

Some exploration of Darkmoon Island, too. I found an undead selling food
that was...tasty. I swimmed around, fished some wreckage (nice crates
with ore, leather, or cloth), got the minipet, found a cave, and wrecked
ships.

Speaking of the faire... Don't you think the eye on the loading screen
looks like C'thun? By the way, Blizz did a great work with the faire. The
atmosphere is really good, the NPC, the music. I was in europapark last
halloween and the atmosphere is alike.

I did a 25 Malygos in a 20 people raid in less than six minutes (three
achievements in one run, yeah!).

I tried the LFR. There was a warrior tank in Fireland heroic stuff
leading. First boss was one shotted. The second one was harder, we wiped
4 or 5 times maybe, people where not killing the same add or staying to
the boss. The third... don't even remember what he was doing. And the
last one, there was one or two wipe because the boss was not bumping
people before doing his ice attack, so everybody in contact was one
shotted, but tanking her in another place than the center of the room and
it was ok. I will try the second part next.
I got no token, but a nice belt, so worth the effort.

That may well be happening in my groups, I always try to flash heal
the tank if he drops below about 75% but it's pretty hard to react
fast enough when I'm aoeing the raid as a whole! The case I mentioned
above was the tank dying in about the space of a GCD though so I
suspect even if I'd been faster it wouldn't have saved him - there's a
few times when health drops really really fast!

Hehe :-D Yeah I love my Serenity aoe heal too, although longer cd
means I do have to actually cast other spells too, I'll try to pay
more attention to the tanks in future :-)

Again, my *strong* recommendation is to go to AV for most of this, and
other levels up to at least 68. The xp gain at that level is *insane*,
I had one guildie reporting getting about a half-level per win and
even a loss can be about half of that, as long as the Captain and a
tower or two go down. Even if you're not into PvP, AV is the most
PvE-like of the BGs, you can often go an entire game without seeing an
opposing player, except in passing.

I love PvP, but it is faster to quest than to AV. Questing, each level
takes just over an hour. Each AV round takes about 30 minutes, so all
it takes is one loss and you are leveliing slower...

The exception to that were if an AV weekend were coming up. When
a Call to Arms is active for a battleground, it's really a great
way to level.
