Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

When I got on today I did my Inscription research on Laneir, then filled quite a few guild orders for glyphs.  I debated playing Laneir, he has been back at full rest exp for a bit but I really felt like healing.  I got back on Laneer and did some usual of the exciting mini game while I put myself in LFG.

It wasn’t long before I got a tell from a Druid saing want to start a group.  I assumed the Druid was a tank and said sure, though it turned out he was “Feral DPS”.    I use the term DPS lightly because it turned out he wasn’t even close to being able to out DPS the tank.  The run went really smooth for the most part.  We tried for the achievement on the first boss but for some reason we didn’t get it even though we never broke any of the frozen tombs, BOOO!

I lost the tank once due to an extreme amount of burst damage that occurred at the end of the fight but all the mobs died right after.  I lost the druid a couple of times due to him having less HP than me in Cat, and him not paying attention   He died in the last fight before the guy respawns because he got in the smash.  Our Hunter was doing the most damage so I protected him like he was a tank hehe  I’m not like a lot of healers, I recognize the importance of DPS.  Yes I would like for them to watch themselves but to be honest in WOTLK nearly all my group failure is because of the lack of DPS.  I pay attention to who is really doing the damage, and those people are treated accordingly   The last boss ended up dropping that same epic ring I got last time and no one wanted, which no one wanted it again either   He also dropped the Breeches of the Caller which actually were better than the pants I was currently wearing even without being gemed which I won.

After that I flew over to Zul’Drak to finish getting friendly with the Argent Crusade.  I tried to finish before we started but the group came together too quickly (how often does that happen).  I took this screenshot because I really love the look of Crystal Song Forest.

Inien came over to join me as he got on to help me kill that elite group quest worth 350 rep!  He hadn’t done that one yet either so all is good.  We then ended up following a huge quest chain for the rest of the evening for Knights of the Ebon Blade which Inien was working on next.  He needed to get friendly with them so it worked out great.  The quest chain was awesome, you end up getting a disguise to be a ghoul and you do quests for the scourge to figure out what they are up to.

You get a tour of what is going on ala Zangamarsh, or the DK newbie zone.  The base you work out of actually reminds me of the DK newbie area

Here is the guy in charge that you end up doing a bunch of quests for and making him feel good.  He trusts you more and more what a sucker!

The blighted area under the base you are working at.  this is Inien and I forcing the peons to get us blight crystals.

This quest was fun you get to control those big guys who’s name escapes me and they have two abilities.  One is something like fart that is an AOE damage/knockdown and the other is explode.  You have to kill 60 of the troll guys with them.  Getting a whole bunch of them and exploding was fun.  It was a lot easier after I realized I can heal of all things and stay in ghoul form

The chain finished up on top of the base fighting the head troll guy.  Then the Lich King comes out kills him for being a disappointment and threatens you.  It’s pretty damn cool   I really enjoyed the quest chain, and it was fun doing it with Inien.  We haven’t quested together in a while I don’t think.

I ended up with my friendly with the Argent Crusade so I’m all set to start on that one.  I’m almost friendly with the Knights of the Ebon Blade so I’ll be ready for that one when I’m done.  I’ll try to get in the regular daily and pick up some faction on that one in case I don’t get more quests before I’m ready.
