Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

I started off tonight by being late.  Had a family evening out and I was hoping to get back by 8 but it just didn’t happen.  The guys waited for me though which was awesome.  They just did Onyxia10 while I was late.  Of course I missed out on that, but no biggy

We started off ToC10 as the Pros we are completely owning the first boss.  To my surprise he finally dropped that wand I had been eying in his loot lists, the Rod of Imprisoned Souls.  This was particularly exciting for me because it was all I needed to get to be “epic”!  I thought I was going to have to wait till that wand in the new 5 man dropped.  Of course the guys had been telling me that it used to drop all the time and every caster in the guild had it.  It was a definite nice upgrade from my i200 wand from Naxx trash.

On the 3rd boss, the horde group we wiped once on them.  Then changed our strategy a little and got them the next time around.  It is a fight that is different almost every time you do it because of your combination of classes and theirs.  They dropped the Blade of the Silver Disciple which I thought I’d take for my shadow set.  I don’t have the best offhand for it yet, but there are a few good ones in the new 5 mans coming out.  They were going to shard it if no one wanted it.

Then on Anub’arak who we also completely pwned, he dropped the Cold Convergence which no one wanted and they were going to shard.  I didn’t say anything Red and Barbarus both asked me about it.  I got to thinking about it and it was a very nice upgrade except it lacked any regen on it.  In the end instead of them sharding it I decided I would take it and use it as main spec healing staff.  The loss of the effective 28MP5 from the other staff is made up by the added Int, Crit, Haste and Spell power I get off this one.  I just felt bad getting so many things though Red and Bar kept telling me not to, shards are worthless to the guild.  I have gone entire runs not winning anything too I am just silly

So I left there with a nice Wand Upgrade, Great new Healing staff, and a DPS dagger.  Then I realized after we were done I had enough badges to pickup Heartmender Circle!  This turned out to be great, it totally balanced out the stuff I swapped out with the staff.  I was going to stop wearing my Inscribed Signet of the Kirin Tor for something better.  I’ll just have to swap in in now and wait 30sec to teleport.  The heartmender brings regen to that slot I didn’t have, and more crit and spell power, int and stam, while I loose some haste.  But the Cold Convergence brought me back the haste from the ring and more, and the ring almost made up for the loss of regen.  I love it when this happens

So all in all I got 4 upgrades tonight so I am that much more powerful!  I am also done with all the healing things I needed from Triumph so I’m going to pickup DPS gear if I get anymore Triumph badges

After we did that we decided though late to just go clear some trash in Freya’s area.  You can get some badges from some of them, and there were lots of herbs in that area.  Someone had been keeping the instance alive cleared to this point to farm herbs in fact We did that for a while.  The area was very pretty, I haven’t ever been that far before.  I was nodding off though, and managed to last long enough to finish all the trash then we called it a night.  I had a really good time though!
