Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

I got on this evening after having a VERY rough day at work.  Things are not going so well economically and a lot of cuts and bad stuff happening so everyone is pretty down.  Needless to say I needed a good WoW session badly (my stress reliever).  Amazingly the WoW gods saw fit to smile on me this evening blessing me with many great heroic PUG runs.

I started off doing my Wyrm Rest daily while looking for a Heroic CoS.  I had both the regular and heroic dailies so I thought it would be a good one to do.  I got invited by a tank who then found all the DPS.  It was an entirely melee group with a DPS Warrior, DeathKnight, Feral Druid, and the Protection Warrior.  It was even more amazing that the DPS warrior was good! I don’t think I have ever seen this before, he was actually beating the Deathknight or staying about even!

We were trying to do a speed run for the drake.  If you get to the guy fast enough, I think it’s 20 minutes you can get the Bronze Drake you see me flying on earlier in the post.  I got the drake on my second attempt, you really have to be fast.  We were good but not good enough.  We didn’t make it to the spawns fast enough I think.  It was a good group though and I always enjoy complete melee groups.

After that I thought I’d try to get over my fear of bad PUGs and do a Heroic HoL.  I really want the epic pants off the last guy and as I was telling Inien they aren’t going to just fall out of the sky.  Not only did I actually find a good PUG, but it was a great PUG.  We had a truly exceptional Pally tank, and Boomkin.  The Deathknight was sub-par but it didn’t matter.  The pally started off with the first boss “anyone need the achievement” and ran in when the guy was buffed.  We owned the guy easy and I got the achievement, the first of many for the night.  Then when we got to the last guy they asked if we wanted to run or stand, I didn’t think I could heal it so we ran, it didn’t go according to plan and we got hit a lot by his thing but Holy Nova saved the day.  I do believe I could just have everyone stand there and I could use it to keep everyone alive.

After that the awesome Boomkin asked if I wanted to do Heroic Nexus.  The same tank was coming so I figured why not.  We needed DPS so I got Inien to even come.  It was a really great group and a lot of fun.  Again we went for all the achievements, but we were not successful on the split personality one.  Guess we didn’t kill the mirror images fast enough, almost inconceivable.  We did manage Chaos Theory but that one was so crazy hard, and also got Intense Cold.

After we finished that Inien realized he only needed 5 more badges for the Mage set Robe.  So we started up a group for Heroic Violet Hold which was the daily for that day.  There was a tank waiting for us practically and we started pretty quick.  We got all the easy bosses (again thank you WoW gods) and finished what’s her face easy.  She even dropped her Epic mace which I gladly took.  I call it my Epic Mace of not Screw Mace.   So tired of every mace I find looking the same!

Inien looked pretty spiffy in his robe.  I do believe that is what I’m going for next, of course mine is the Priest Robe

Lastly I finished out the night with some of the exciting mini game of inventory management.  I thought I’d throw out a shot of what my bank/bags look like these days

All in all I got 16 badges for the evening, a bunch of shards, a new Mace, over 8k rep had fun with no frustration and in only a few hours. Great end to a really really crappy day.
