Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

Just when I got on this evening I see Tue was recruiting to do a mount run on ZG.  They were also going to make a pit stop on the fish boss for Turtle Books.  I decided to join and wanted to attempt Hakkar my only classic Raid achievement I didn’t have.

We ended up going with 2 other guild Priests besides me, Inien and Tue.  It looks really funny when all 3 of us popped our Mind Sear   I kept thinking of Ghost Busters, don’t cross the beams!

Our Hakkar attempts didn’t go to well without a second tank.  The silly guy kept mind controlling me and I’d end up killing everyone.  We made a few tries at it then decided we’d come back with another tank next time.

In one of the attempts I drank a bunch of Pygmy Oil and turned into a Pygmy Gnome, and then Inien threw baby spice on me so I was about as big as a critter!

After the Hakkar attempt everyone left but Inien and I.  We stayed for some rep farming fun.  Now that they changed it so you get full rep even when you out level an area you could effectively farm rep here.

I was sitting at just about Revered when we started and got a little over 12% rep while we were in there.

We did two bosses after everyone left as well.  We might be able to do others but we only tried two.  The Snake boss was super easy I figured he would be.  Then we went to bat lady.  I assumed she would be super easy too, but I forgot about her healing…  Inien and I fought with her for 14 minutes till we FINALLY got her down.  I didn’t think it was ever going to happen.  Basically Inien could only counter spell every other heal.  I didn’t have enough mana to go on for long, in fact if this was 3.1 we wouldn’t have been successful.  At the very end she was low, I got spooky out for the 2nd time and made a final DPS push, between Inien and Puddles and Spooky and I we finally killed her.  It was such a relief, and satisfying kill.

It is sad to think I wouldn’t be able to do this in 3.1 though   Or maybe it would have been easier if I had a shadow build  I could have switched to I could have done a ton more damage   Was a fun way to end the night anyways.

Wowhead finally has PTR talent calcs on their site, I hate using MMO’s, great info annoying calculator

I was looking at things and if we went live right now I would probably go with a Disc build looking like this.  And a Dual Spec shadow build looking like this.

My son was down for a nap so I got on to mess around a bit.  I did the cooking daily and decided to see what the cooking daily was in Shatt.  Sure enough it was the one I was missing for the achievement.  So I ran off to collect mana berries.  After completing that achievement I thought I should get the outland cooking achievement.  So I set off to find various fish and meat throughout outlands.

I ended up needing one of the rare feltail so I decided to do some highland fishing schools assuming I’d eventually get one.  Plus I was getting fishing skill-ups which is all good.  I thought very briefly in the back of my mind, oh and I might get mr pinchy (ya right followed of course).  Because I did ALOT of fishing of furious crawdads in my time.  I used to supply people in guild with all the food I would get.  I have never seen the little guy once.    Well maybe it was my MUCH higher fishing skill, or maybe it was incredible luck, but I got Mr Pinchy!  Simply amazing!

After getting Mr. Pinchy I figured I fished enough highland schools, I think I did about an hour of fishing.  I checked with an alt and sure enough the enormous feltail I needed was on the AH for a meer 4.5g.  I was willing to pay the price to save time and got it.  After that all I needed was some fish from the Deadwind area near Karhazan.  Again I fished tons of these things in my time, stupid achievement system!   Anyways I successfully got my outlands cooking achievement.  I need to finish off my northrend one now too.

I would really like to end up with my chef title given how much I cook   I would also love the salty title too but that would mean I’d need to win the fishing contest I always forget to go to
