New Year Eve!

Finally, the end of 2008 had come!

Life in WoW became an essential part in my life. It was a moment to escape from reality. I could relax in wow. I could enjoy questing in Northrend. I could chat with my RL fds in wow like we guys used to hang out in high school cafetria. I felt really nice to have same feeling back. LOL!

last night, all were not free to log. Just me and renren logged after gym. i did some dailies and got invited for Heroic VOA. We wiped once with like 46k HP left on boss. We got him on 2nd time. Funny part was the 1st try that we had only 24 men on it. Loot were hateful chest for rouge, hateful mail chest for hunter, Plate Dps t7 chest, and Druid healing t7 glove. i lost the roll and felt disappointed. I hope it dropped the shoulder next time for healing druid.

i am still collecting Emblem of Heroism to reserve my gear need if we decided to try arena. lol

tonight is New Year Eve. I will not log on 2008. Seriously, my resolution on 2008 was trying not to wow for 2 years. So see you all next year. Happy New Year!

Xmas, Pro Xmas and Pre New Year

Holiday season should be a good time to enjoy all foods and stay in touch with families and friends. It was nice to PUG Lsevener 1st Obsidian Sanctum. We were so pleased to have Paladi, Pkny(in priest), Wass(in DK), Me, and renren. We just looked for 5 more DPS: 1 rouge, , 1 lock, 1 moonkin, 1 shaman and 1 hunter. the reason we need to balance the rail drop. It was nice to pug with all those guys. IT was really fun that 5 of us raided together like KZ old days.
Wass (in DK) got his head (really decent gear), the hunter got the glove token dropped, i won the bag on roll and the moonkin got the bag which had 5 emblems. It was a good Xmas raid for all of us. Even we lost on items, we just laughed and were pleased to raid.
Day after Xmas was a dumb work day. I brought my laptop to work and level my toons abit. After work, i went to gym. I didnt feel well at all...

Saturday, i was resting in home due to stomach virus. It hurt. Still, i woke up at 9pm (i did sleep almost whole day without food/water). Paladi called me and made me logged. We went for 2 Heroics : it was UP and GD. Without Pkny and Wass and with Torpedo finally reached lv 80 on friday late night, we pug 2 from LFG. it came out the 2 old friends from L8raid (a pug raid group to raid almost everything in TBC era). We chatted abit and started to pull. it was fun to have 2 old raiders in our group. it was fast and nice. We got 2 heroics about 2 hrs and found out that it was 2am. i went back to sleep.

Sunday, my stomach was getting better and i could run around in Northrend. It was good to have renren and Pkny back to group. We cleared fast on GD, HOS, and old kingdom. We called at 1 sth and Everyone was happy about it.

Monday night, no one was home when i arrived home. I went out to grab some dinner and logged on. When all logged on, we started heroics again. last night, we went GD, AN, and COT. It was 1st failure attempt to miss the timer. We wiped once and wasted some times on my dead due to healing aggo. but we tried to pull as fast as we could with all AOE on mobs. It was mad crazy if you watched us to pull. When we reached the extra boss, the timer expired. We was thinking if we could pull him out and dps down to gain some time. However, boss was immuned to taunt and stepped to the portal. We summarized up that our AOE (5 of us can do AOE: mage aoe, healing druid Aoe, Tank swipe, pally aoe and Hunter AOE). We should be ok to get him tonight. I will overheal renren and stack HoTs. Then we would do AoE once renren built aggo. i would do AOE when renren was full HP. That would kill mobs faster and spare more time if anything happened.

Tuesday Night is my gym night. i would love to execrise more and went home to farm some badges. :) (2 more emblems for caster t7 chest WOOHOO!)

More Holiday Mood

last night, we had one shot down Kel'Thuzad in Naxx.
Some interesting points:
1) no one had died on void zone
2) i didn't use my mana potion (just innervate once on myself)
3) Sirtank was still died once
4) Birthday power from Rub? (we pulled Kel'Thuzad after 12 and Sherider called out on vent. I am wondering if the birthday power was related)

it was so nice that i got my druid head piece. now i had 3 pieces of t7. HEHE
Well, i still needed my T7 shoulder and T7 pant. As i checked with rings and comments, i would buy the rings from badges. now i was still using the lion heart ring from quest. that was a great up for me. 15 more badges i needed. Hopefully i could farm them on Wednesday. Tonight, Dethno will launch our guild 1st 25 man raid in Heroic Naxx. I hear that Heroic isnt hard as it intents to. So, i will have fun tonight in gym and head home for raid :)

Holiday mood :)

Last week, a couple good things happened and a couple of bad things happened.
The good things were:
1) I got my mace: War Mace of Unrequited Love dropped from Keristrasza in Heroic Nexus
2) I got my waist upgraded from 40 emblem of heroism
3) I finally burned my dkp for T7 chest piece, and a neck dropped from Naxx. It is nice to have 2 pieces bonus from t7. lol
4) I bought the leather BoE epic boot: Earthgiving boot :(
5) I bought the idol from emblem of heroism and obtained the achievement for superior (all items had equipped were item lv 187 or above.)
6) I had completed my achievement for cleared all bosses in Naxx :)
The bad things:
1) My rings, and my neck, t7 shoulder, t7 pants, and trinket didn’t drop >.<
2) I still didnt get the head piece: Helm of Anomalus from Anomalus in Heroic Nexus.
3) I burned up all the $$ for tailoring receipts.
Overall, good things were more than bad things. LOL
Remark:

1) Saturday night Heroic was a good run even it ended at 5am on Sunday night. Pkny (in priest) received his epic Bronze Dragon mount. Funny fact was we had 2 tanks: renren and Wass (in DK), 1 dps: Paladi (Ret pally), and 2 healers: a tree and Pkny (in priest). Dps speaking was bad because we could clean mobs faster but on boss we were slower than usual. We spent 16 mins on 2 bosses and ended up to rush after the secret package. It was epic rush that renren taunted 3/4 group each time and Wass helped OT 2 groups while me and Pkny healed everyone. We kept pulling even we reached the rest point. I was killed due to healing aggo and renren battled resurrected me while Wass tanked all mobs that renren pulled. Suddenly, Wass was killed by mobs and renren burned his CD on berserker to gain extra hit point for longer battle. We managed to keep pulling mobs and cleared it up. Renren, Paladi and Pkny went to engage the extra boss while I was reviving Wass. We knew that we had about 2 mins to bring the boss down. We were not sure if we had enough DPS to burn him. But we tried anyway. The boss opened a portal after the timer expired. We were like fk... we downed boss @ 1 or 2 % and he was stepping toward the portal. And WE DID DOWN HIM! YES WE MADE IT. It was an unbelievable moment to us. Congratz Pkny got his nice flying mount.

2) It was a nice raid on Naxx last night with my guild mate. Pledge Quarter cleared. No healing items dropped. Am I cursed in Naxx? 1% drop rate would apply if my name was in the raid group. LOL. It was a joke but it was true that not many healing items dropped in Naxx when I was in raid. Shammy type gears did drop alot...sigh...It was ok. I needed to learn to be patient. HAHA. Anyway, wish us luck on tonight at Kel'Thuzad. We wiped 7 times on him last night due to various mistakes like stayed in void zone, got ice tomb and chained tomb nearby party, an early or suddenly died on trash, OOM, etc... We hope we could do better than this tonight. Hopefully, we will bring Kel'Thuzad again tonight :). Please wish me luck on drop. I need the head piece badly :)

4 days summary XD

That was a good night. We downed Gothik the Harvester, 4 horseman, and Patchwerk. No drop for the mighty druid. :( but I had completed the achievement for cleared Military Quarter. LoL Thursday and Friday were rough days. Paladi, Pkny, Wass (in dk), Renren and i were running heroic as usual. Somehow, we noticed we were a good team. We could have 3 tanks at the same time. (renren is main tank, and Paladi and Wass (in DK) could be offtank.) and sometime we could have 2 healers with2 tanks to hold extra mobs. (Paladi and I heal while renren and wass (in DK) grabbed all mobs). We had so many closed-to-wipe pulls but we managed all alive. We completed Cot: Strath timer as 3 mins early and got renren the bronze dragon mount. We were so happy about that we guys rolled to win renren again ( even though that mount was for him since each of us had one already XD). We ran 5 heroic on Thursday: UK, Cot:Strath, Nexus, Violet Hold and Gundrak. And on Friday, I logged lately. Only 2 Heroic instances we went: The Nexus and Violet Hold. It was sad that the healing mace didn’t drop on last boss.
so, I slept at 3 and woke up at 8 on Saturday. I went out with my gf for a nice weekend trip on New Jersey. It was a fun trip. Sunday evening arrived home. My body was like to have sleep. However, Paladi was going to take a flight back to Buffalo. So I dropped him at airport like 9 and back home at 10. Wass whispered me to tell guild that he would not be for Naxx. I whispered beros and He invited me for raid. It was about 1 o’clock. Wass back him while Paladi was home. We had 2 bosses down in Construct wing. And I obtained the achievement for the 2 bosses: Grobbulus and Gluth. Only 2 more bosses I could obtain the achievement for the fall of Naxxramas. 
tonight, it is my raid night. I will go home, finish my dinner and log on early for leveling my hunter. hehe

Gear Farming

Last night, it was my official opening fight on Naxx. Naxx reset on Tuesday morning and we started raid at 11 server time as usual. I was home about 10:30pm (did some exercises in gym) and went to shower. I logged on and got invitation from Dethno. Wass and renren were invited last night, too. So we guys were waiting beros to log. Somehow we waited for 15 mins and no sign to see beros to log. Dethno and Wiseman decided to clear mobs in Arachnid Quarter while waiting. It was easy to clear mobs. When we were at boss room: Anub'Rekhan, we decided to try on 9 men on that. Sherider explained the fight that renren would OT the adds and Dethno would deal with Anub'Rekhan. Once the Locust Swarm casted, Dethno would run around like a circle pattern while all of us stay on the far side to dps/heal. It was not easy but the best we could bring the boss down to 14% of health. So Wiseman invited a helpful melee, SirTank, to replace Beros slack. With a heavy dps arm warrior, we brought down the boss smoothly. Then, we forgot about beros absence and Dethno commented that beros would not receive the DKP for showing up on time. It was like the class attendance in college. LOL.

2nd boss on Arachnid Quarter was Grand Widow Faerlina was not a bad one. I think we got her at 2nd attempt (or one shot her?). We just killed three of the follower who could be mind-controlled and prevented Grand Widow Faerlina to frenzy. We did with one left and we nailed her. It was massive fight that i needed to avoid her AOE (rain of fire) and healed thru her Poison bolt volley. Good run.

3rd boss on Arachnid Quarter Maexxna was a hard one. We had like couple wiped on that. Some notes I needed to remind myself. 1st, Abolish Poison must cast all the time. 2nd, Wild growth for raid is really helpful. By noticing 2 notes, that was a tank and spank fight with abolish poison + all HoTs casted all the time on MT. My mana was drained so bad even with a shadow priest to recharge. But I would know better and did better on next time hehe.

It was about 1:30pm when we cleared Arachnid Quarter. We head to Military Quarter to clear Instructor Razuvious to conclude our night. The boss fight was so fun. Tanks would control 2 mobs to tank the boss. Dps would focus on boss. As explaining on this boss, tanks must taunt the boss: Instructor Razuvious with shield wall on and the control debuff will expire on each minute. It was a fun run. We did one shot him and killed accordingly. My druid waist Girdle of Lenience didn’t drop last night. I hope it would be dropped soon.

More Raid

Good Run last night. We had one shot the Sartharion with all mobs cleared. It was all tank and spank. Just be aware of Lava wave came to you and you would be fine. Sartharion didn’t drop any good for restor druid. Then we moved on to 4 horsemen. It was a fun run. At first, 4 bosses would run to 4 corners. MT and OT would engage 2 melee bosses: Thane Kor'Thazz and Baron Rivendare. One lock tank would hold aggo from caster boss: Lady Blaumeux and lock healer would generate threat to get other caster boss: Sir Zeliek. MT and OT switched their targets when they had 3 stack of debuff on them. We had tried couple time due to transition miscommunication, marco error, LOS on healing, wrong position, etc. on the last pull, MT and OT did that perfectly. 1st I overhealed on Tank to provide MT to have time for transition. Also, I kept wild growth on dps and me. I saw once we had like 5 stack of debuff but I healed thru all like rej, wild growth, and stack 2 lifeblooms. After couple second, all of us back to max health. After we got Thane Kor'Thazz and Baron Rivendare, we moved to Lady Blaumeux and Sir Zeliek. Those 2 bosses were as same tactic and same rotation as Thane Kor'Thazz and Baron Rivendare. We nailed them perfectly. Druid chest dropped. Not a big up on me (sta and int increase and with 2 slots + haste rate). Staff dropped (sta, int, spi, less healing bonus, + haste rate). No a big up on me. I was looking for shoulder, legging and head piece upgrading. Chest and hand could obtain via Lv 80 heroic badges. There is no point I up for chest. Passed to wisemen and wish him to be a happy guy atm. :D
tonight, I will go to gyms for some exercise. Hopefully, I can get home early for fresh Naxx. 

Weekend update

Friday night, it was not a great dinner with my gf since I had some mistakes on orders. Oh Well,
Headed Home and logged on, Paladi whispered me for heroics. As usual, we tried to avoid hard instance like Ahn’kahet: Old kingdom, Oculus, and Hall of Light. Mostly, we would like to make CoT: Strath as a warm up run. Once again, we made the timer on Friday. Congratz me for the 1st flying mount. Yes, it was right that I didn’t have any flying mount in TBC. LOL, it was pointless that druid can shiftform and flying. Then, we had to other instances, Gundrak, DTK and Nexus. I got a healing ring on DTK and healing boot from one of heroic ( I forgot). And I was still looking for idol. Badges idol seems nice to me that that the amount of increase LB periodic healing was a great up. But the idol from epic fight mount quest was an old decent overall healing bonus increasing effect while equipped. It was so hard to decide. After that, we all went to sleep.
On Saturday, my family and I went out for late lunch. I helped my mother to get her some groceries in local supermarket. After that, I headed home and logged on. I was waiting Paladi and other to do heroics. I was bored and went to Sholazar Basin questing for Hemet Nesingwary quest line. At last, I was missing a quest for collecting part to rebuild the flying machine. After completed that question, it made the Hemet Nesingwary quest line started. I was questing and gained the achievement in Sholazar Basin. The Hemet Nesingwary quest line was easier than past two: one in STV and one in Nagrand. The elite one (Post-partum Aggression) was easy to nail with the elephant mount.
Soon after, Pkny, Paladi, renren and Wass were all here. We started our heroic run. This time we did VH 1st. We had 1st down Erekem without a problem. But we had a bump on Zuramat the Obliterator (2nd boss). None of us had experienced on this fight. We try to burn down the boss but Void Sentries got us early and I didn’t catch up group healing (I had casted Wild Growth and Tranquility on early stage). After 2 wipes, renren read about the tactic. Renren tanked the boss at the center of the room. And we had enough aoe for those Void Sentries (Pkny had Volley and traps, Paladi had Consecration, Wass (in DK) had Blood Boil/Dead and Decay, I had Hurricane). It worked perfectly. Once any of us (except renren) had the Void Shift, we could simply AOE all. Those Void Sentries had about 1k HP. One AOE could bring them all down. LOL.

Then, 2nd instances we went were COT: Strath. This time was kind of risky. On 1st put, we had Paladi down for no reason. 2nd, on 1st boss, we had Wass (in DK) down due to aggo pulling. 3rd, on the 2nd boss, I was down during the fight (stunned and low HP, sigh). Paladi was healing thru about 5% on 2nd boss. When we cleared the 10 waves, we had about 13 mins run on the timer. It was a tough fight. We had all room clear (included boss). We had about 8 mins left on timer. Once we got out the passage, renren grabbed all aggos. Wass and Paladi chained pull elites and OT them. I was healing like crazy. At the last group, the timer showed about 2 mins left. We engaged with the extra boss. We downed him before the timer expired. And once again, we made it. We knew renren would love to have that mount. However, we wanted to see Wass won the roll on the mount. We kept yelling at party channel that ROLL WASS, ROLL WASS. It was fun that Wass actually won the roll. We kept laughing about it. Congratz Wass to have his epic flying mount (However, Wass didn’t learn the epic riding skill. I would wonder how he could ride on the mount. LOL).
After that, we guys went to DTK. It was mad easy for us to PWN all the mobs. We killed all fast and no mistakes. We had some problem on the stair after 3rd boss. Those mobs would fear periodically on the fight. Paladi got fear and went other mobs. He managed to survive for a while but mobs got him. We kept fighting on those adds and the caster got me due to healing aggo. It looked like a wipe. Somehow, Renren shadowmend himself while Wass pulled all mobs away. Renren casted the battle resurrection on me and I casted the battle resurrection Paladi. Pkny back from FD. We healed everyone full and fought those mobs again. It was not fun but It brought us all the attention back. After we cleared the rest of the mobs, we engaged the boss. We had him many times in past week. the pattern on this boss fight was dps boss to certain amount of time(or health). Boss would turn us to skeletons and we kept hitting and drained HP from boss for heal. Then boss would turn us back to normal. When the transition occurred, boss hit us before we completed backed to human (We had no gear effect on skeleton stage). So boss one hit and KO renren. That was a wipe. After 2nd time on boss, Pkny pet was able to taunt boss after the transition. Then we got him again with this bug. Everyone were not feeling any tired. Then, we went to UK and then called. It was like 5 am on Sunday.

I went out with my gf at last night. The Xmas tree was so beautiful at Rockefellers Center. Then I headed home and logged on. Beros whispered me for healing in Naxx. WoW. It was my 1st run in Naxx. We had 3 bosses down: Thaddius, Loatheb and Gothik the Harvester. 1st , Thaddius was similar to heroic Mech boss fight. At the beginning, there were 2 mini bosses on Thaddius room. We needed to down them about the same time because we need to move to the next platform to engage the boss. 10 man would split in 2 groups and dps down the mini bosses. The mini bosses fight would have some periodic chained lighting and tank throw. I got the trick on 2nd time but we got Thaddius enraged. We got him 3rd time. Then we moved to Loatheb which was a Dps racing since all healing effect reduced to zero and I had 4 sec to heal in every 21 sec. It was a good dps racing. We one shot him. LoL. Most of dps had over 2k dps. It was a crazy run. LoL. Gothik the Harvester was a nice run. 1st we had to stay in 2 groups on two rooms. We had about 20 waves of mix of elite and non-elite to encounter. Once we had 20 waves done, boss would show up and engage. We had me, kyoka, renren uglykid and detho on one side. We had barantir, sherider, wiseman, islowlykill, and beros. 1st time, we had no problem on healing and dps our side. However, beros side wiped somehow. And all the elite came to us. Somehow, Kyoka managed to alive. XD . On 2nd attempt, uglykid joined to beros to clear mobs faster. We had 4 people (Detho, kyoka, renren and me) to bring down all 20 waves of mobs. Other side was looking good as well. When we engaged boss, we had no problem to bring him down. It was so sweet.  Beros had the problem on his internet. Then we called for the raid. After that, Paladi invited for last heroic. We went to DTK because renren wanted to get his tanking ring. As Paladi mentioned, PUG on heroic = real heroic. Grouping with us, we were like doing normal instance in heroic. We finished the whole Heroic DTK for 20 mins. You could image how fast we pull and how strong we were. However, renren didn’t get his ring. But, Pkny did get his crossbow from Heroic Gundrak. Congratz. Tonight, I think I will go to heal in Naxx again. If no healing needed, I would go for heroic and farm more badges for healing gears.

Good day Vs Bad Heroic

Last night, it was a bad night for wow. Why I called a bad night? No Heroic reset from Blizz last night(supposed all heroic instance reset at 11 am EST.). So, we (renren, Paladi, Pkny, Wass (in dk) and me) had 4 heroic instances saved from Wednesday (VH, COT, HOS and Gundrak). Renren was invited for tanking Naxx at 11:30 pm. So, we went to A’N for daily heroic. It was nightmare. No one knew that bosses could reset themselves. We wiped many times before we reached last boss. Last boss Anub'arak had unpredictable target on Pound (shouldn’t that skill target on tank only?). Wass and Paladi died due to Pound on them instead of Renren. So, we figured out and repositioned all of us and we got him in 4 men. Again, Wass got pounded on the side of the ring while renren was tanking him near the center of the ring. When he was going to pound, i had called out for pounding and ran away from it. Anub'arak just went to Wass and pounded him. No way i could save him (br in CD, nature's swiftness in CD as well. WTF).

After A’N, renren went to tank Naxx. Paladi respecced to protection for tanking. It had been long time Paladi respecced. (currently, he just got his tanking gear in Ret spec). Amazingly, he didn’t let us down. Having couple months as dps, his tanking style is like a truck. Body pull in most case LOL. It was great to run with DTK, Nexus, and UK last night. After 4 heroics, I had 20 badges (after I purchased the trinket (cost 40 badges) for healing). 120 more badges for chest and hand (maybe).
During the LFG moment, we guys discussed the gears between Heroic and 10 man aka Naxx. The result was really interesting. Paladi said that if there was heroic dropped had 300 armor less, 70 hp less but 30 more def rate with a gem slot there, he will simple go for heroic rather raid. Well, I presumed that the Epic (purple) gears should give your more benefit than Rare (blue) gears. I didn’t have time to study for comparing heroic Items and 10 man raid items yet. I hope I could do some research on it.
After all heroics, 2 achievement made. One exalted with Wymrest Accord. Two, I had completed both quest line for Drakuru: Guru of Drakuru. Before I went to bed, I shopped around AH for some gears upgrade. A cloth shoulder and an off-hand healing were bought. Those 2 new gears pushed my gears to 164X (if I remembered correctly), and my healing in tree over 1700. YES. That was the min healing required to heal in Naxx. LOL.Tonight, no raid, just Heroic.

There are 3 more pieces of gears I need to replace. 1st healing boots, 2nd healing ring (must have +sta, +int, +spt ,+spell and lv80), and last new idol. I checked that a good ring will dropped at heroic DTK, Boots ( no idea), Idol (badges?) I will go out to have dinner with my lovely GF and head home for another 3 maybe 4 heroic tonight. I hope I could have some fun tonight. :D

HeRoIc Vs NaXx

Another missing chance on Naxx.

It was fun with Paladi, Renren, Wass (in DK) and Pkny doing heroic together. We guys worked as a group before BC launched. We knew what we need to do and what we can do. Paladi finally built his tanking gear completely (good for heroic but bad for raid). Last night, we guys were eager to meet the COT timer for the dragon run. We spent about 5 mins to get 1st 5 waves (plus boss). I was like we were in good shape. On 2nd 5 waves boss, we spend about 4 mins to finish them all. I was like wow. Paladi was right that we had enough tanking and Dps for this timer. Then we head to the house. On 3 waves in the house, Renren and Paladi were misunderstanding about which group Renren was supposedly to tank at. We wasted about 1 mins on it. After the boss, we rushed out on the “secret passage” and aggo all the mobs as fast as we could. At 2 mins left on the timer, we engaged the extra boss. We had brought that dragon down within 2 mins. Congratz to Pkny who won the dragon. A day ago Paladi got his mount. Now, Pk got his mount. I think we could get one bronze dragon mount for each of us. LOL and Pkny suggested that we could sell the bronze dragon mount for 1000g. of course, we guys are joking about it XDD.

Besides the heroics , I had enough lv80 badges to exchange my healing trinket. It was so nice that my healing had reached 1617 healing bonus (unbuffed). Also, a cloth healing pant from heroic VH dropped on last boss with the dps druid staff. It is so nice that my healing had improved rapidly on past few days.
You can see that my healing was about 13xx on 3 days ago. Now, I am 1617 healing bonus! Just 2 days (I had enough 40+ badges in 3 days, about 12 badges per night). If we kept doing heroic every night for 12 days, I think we will all have t7 hand + chest and some trinkets and ring upgraded. Let me see if guild had open spot for a healer. If not, I kept looting badges like we had in old days but in rapid farming style.

Out of Luck vs Less Luck

Well, too late for logging due to the addon problem in WoW.

All spot filled (just 10 man Naxx) in short period. Plus CT-raid wasn’t working accordingly. After an hour waiting, I decided to drop raid and hoop to Heroic. Paladi was looking for healer and kept whispering me for heroic. He needed lv 80 badges. so do i. I heard that Paladi won the dragon mount in COT: strath for timer event. Congratz. Back to Heroic, formation was strange. Renren, Wass(in DK), Pkny, Paladi and me
Cat talent in bear form. Anyway, we wiped twice in A’N which was daily heroic. !st wipe was chain put on 1st boss. The caster got me. 2nd wipe was on 2nd boss that renren ran to the boss for achievement! Well, it was fun. Then we had another ran in Heroic. Renren kept mentioning about VH. Paladi hinted that renren want to have his feral staff. So hack it and we go. We wiped once there. The water element boss was bad that aoe knock back made me LOS to heal everyone. On 2nd attempt, they pull out on area and AOE knockback didn’t affect my healing. We went smoothly after that.

I noticed one I had my bracers and main weapon upgrade from the Wymrest Accord Both are nice piece boosted my healing to 1571 (unbuffed). My mp5 is still low on return (mp5 in combat is about 30x). I needed more items to improve spirit and spellpower. Also, the healing spell was about the same amount or over comparing when I was level 70. I can easy keep 5 man alive without mp5 drained. It was one nice notice I wanted to see when my gear upgraded. Btw, all healing pieces (good healing pieces) were cloth LOL. I am paper tree again XDD

tonight, I hope we can more heroic. I had 25 lv80 badges already. I need 80 for chest, 60 for hands and 40 for trinket. Let me gathering those 1st before I went to Naxx. 

Heroic

Last night, i had my very first heroic badges in Northrend. when i was home, i had my dinner, finished dishes, showered and then logged. Paladi whispered me immediately for healing in Heroic Gundrak. I had 4 pieces of lv 80 items and mixed with all lv 78 or maybe the old outland items. i was kind of scared from last run on Heroic A’N because the group could not keep up with chain pull. But Paladi kept convincing that gundrak was easier than A’N. Then I joined and travelled to ZD. Paladi was discussing with me during the whole fight and pinpointing all trick parts in Gundrak. It ran so smooth with a bear tank (30k+ HP WTF?) I died once due to Implied from last boss. Then, BR was a plus from bear tank (really thank you for that nice BR). 5 badges, One instance. So sweet! And I loot 4 times from 1st 4 bosses. Yes I was like up, up, up and up! LoL. My healing bonus was about 13XX (in tree with bonus from talents). Everyone seemed to see a tree getting drop to upgrade his gears. After the boss, I thought it was a call. I was distracted from screen because my GF called me. When I backed to my desk, Paladi and Wass(in DK) wanted more Heroic. Yea why not. Let go for more heroic. Then Heroic Cot: Strath was took place~
the Tank didn’t have any experience in Heroic Cot:Strath. If we had 2 more mins, we could make the timer which we could have an achievement. After 3 more Heroic (A’N, UK and VN, it was 2:40am. I called and went to bed. It was fun night that I healed in 5 heroics a night. 18 badges with revered with Wymrest Accord. Couple pieces of healing gear upgraded. I am confident that I can heal in Naxx with my 15XX healing bonus in tree (I presumed that my healing bonus was min. requirement for tree ). Tonight, our guild, very first guild raid, took place in Naxx. I wish I would be home early and got ready . ( but would I get a spot for healer???? LOL we will see tonight)

Level 80

As i expected, i dinged my druid on last Friday morning. After i learnt all spells and some new skills for my enchanting and tailoring, i was totally broken (90g in pocket). :( Theni started to work on quest on ZD(received achievement for quests, I finished the betrayal questline for Drakuru but i didnt complete the cleasing one. WTF) and moved to Sholazar Basin. It was fun in Sholazar Basin with all dailies and quests. However, can anyone help me where i can start the Hemet Nesingwary questline?
I read the questline and it should start at the base camp. however, i didnt receive any quests from there. WTF?

Hello all, this is Darsonsind and welcome to my blog.
Here is some Q&A I ask and answer myself (lol):

Q: Who are you, what spec you are and which server you are playing?
A: I am a night elf druid (restor spec) at Elune server in World of Warcraft.

Q: How old are you?
A: Me? 18. 10 years ago (please laugh, I know it is not funny but just want
to make a joke. So please laugh)

Q: How long you have been playing World of Warcraft (WoW)?
A: 2 and half years. But I stopped about 1 year and half for school and backed
before TBC launched.

Q: Why you choose this name?
A: Hmmm…good question…..When I “resumed” to play WoW which was before TBC, I
created 3 other characters beside my lv 60 hunter: Rouge (forgot the name),
Warrior (Rarily), and Druid (which is her). All 3 names were randomly picked
when I created them. (I admitted I was so lazy about it LOL).

Q: How long have you played your druid?
A: Hmm…I really forgot. Is there a way to check how long you played in-game?
I remembered I created her around September 2006. Then, I was leveling her
and other 2 chars at the same time. Until all of them hit lv 40, I logged
her since then.

Q: There are other healing classes (priest, shammy and pally) in WoW. How come
you choose druid as a healer (druid could be as dps or tank)?
A: Well, it was the case that my 4 others fds and I played together (Paladi,
Pkny, Wassabi and renren). We had tanks (Paladi/renren) and 3 good dps
(renren , wass and pkny). Only position we needed for group was a healer.
Then, my druid became a tree since that day.

Q: Did you feel boring to heal when you were in 5man instance, 10man raid or
even 25man raid?
A: Not at all. I think it is really challenging. Healing and Tanking are the
most important in group or raid. No heal, tank die = wipe. So, being a
healer, keeping everyone in full HP in group/raid is the first propriety.
Also, druids have a huge advantage on healing. Druids can keep throwing HoTs
while running around (LB, Rej, Wild Growth, Swiftmend {15 sec CD per cast
with Glyph that wont consume Rej effect} and instant big heal{3 min CD per
cast}).

Q: What level you are currently?
A: I am currently lv 77 and wrapping up all the quests in Howling Fjord.

Q: What is your expectation on your druid?
A: Seriously, I want to have a little chat with the Lich King =). Before that,
I need to level up and gather all leather healing gears.
