Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

So I finally get logged in tonight and what do I see, but the Stormwind croc fishing daily!  What did I get even though there is a 70% chance for a croc supposedly, I got rusty metal…  What is up with that!

Anyways after doing that and betting on a pet in the AH I went to get in the random queue and got a group instantly.  Unfortunately my luck for really fast dungeon runs finally ran out and I got HoS.  The tank was great, and we had a Mage that did 46% of the damage.  Between the Pally tank and the Mage they were doing almost 70% of the damage, so you can imagine how stellar the other two dps were   It was a bad rogue, and one of those terrible DK alts everyone has.  I think we were rolling up to the second boss when Snookered was talking about how time consuming it was to solo Heroic Underbog and I told him I’d join him when we were done.

I wanted to join him because Heroic Underbog was all I needed to finish the BC Dungeons achievement.  We finally finished and I join him just as we were coming up onto the 3rd boss.  Of course then I get a call from work that some disaster was happening so I go afk and try to figure it out and eventually come back to help while he is killing the 3rd boss.  Not long after that we get to the final boss, I get held in the air almost the whole time but I have enough stuff to smack him with + my dots that we got him down pretty damn fast.  Then I got my achievements!

So as far as the title of this post is concerned, the sad part was I just realized it was my first Achievement of the year   Almost two weeks exactly into 2010!  I should do some achievement runs this weekend too.  What I really need to finish is my loremaster, and of course get in some damn raiding!

I think it is time to go on a badge kick again.  I decided I want to set my goal of getting my Adorned Supernal Legwraps.  I already have the perfect gems to stick in it too.  This is probably my last large attainable healing upgrade.  I could go for the horribly ugly Gown of Spiritual Wonder but it wouldn’t be much of a healing upgrade, just a stamina and possibly regen upgrade.  It is sooo ugly I’ll have to continue to think about that.  I still want the old badge offhand but the pants will be a much larger upgrade so I think I’ll go for those first.

On that note I made sure I did the Heroic Daily   There wasn’t a lot going on but managed to find this group that needed a healer.  It was a pretty good group of people.  We did end up talking about some stuff that led one of the mages to think I was too old to be playing WoW, he was 15 from what I gathered.

I’ve been playing video games for the better part of my life.  I was the generation that was basically born into them so I don’t think I will ever not be to be honest.  It is part of who I am.  I don’t care if I’m 50, while now someone might think that is odd for a 50 year old to be playing.  When I’m 50, all 50 year olds would have grown up in that generation.

We had an interesting scuffle before we started with a bunch of horde harrasing people at the enterance.  Luckly I put on my PvP gear and they never got the best of me.

I did a little bit of Dailies afterwards but not many, didn’t quite have the energy.

I took today off being that it is my birthday.  I debated if I wanted to use the time today to farm for more badges or to work Fesster towards 70.  I decided I felt more like burning things and played Fesster.

I was questing in Zangamarsh while in LFG for Slavepens and Underbog.  Some guys asked if I wanted to do BF and I debated, and finally decided yes.  On my way over to BF I ran into a Fel Iron node that pushed me up to 375 mining yay!

It ended up being just me, a Paladin and a level 70 Enhancement Shaman.  Both were in the same guild and the Shaman was confident he could take care of everything.  It turns out he was quite correct!

This was the only part we were unsure about.  The endurance test before the second boss.  We actually did pretty damn good.  I thought we were all lost when I miss clicked and had one of the button pages bound incorrectly and it messed up my buttons and I had to rebind some stuff to fix it.  Finally got that working and fear bombed as much as possible while using my Succubus, Frost grendes and Fel Iron bombs, as well as Shadow Fury to hold off the mobs while the Shaman did most of the damage.  All I had time to really do is be a big distraction while the Paladin kept us alive.  I died just before the boss came out but the Shaman killed the boss is like 10 seconds so it was ok

Little bit later, and after some more questing I ended up in an Underbog group.  It was fun and I was beating the pants off the 66 hunter and the 70 rogue for the most of the zone.  See we had a paly tank so I was able to basically AOE every pull.  Eventually the rogue was so mad a level 64 was being him in DPS he started dragging mobs away from the paladin to kill them   In the end I got a robe that dropped off the last boss I was able to gem nicely.  Now I just need to get my meta gem and I’ll be sitting pretty!   I’m just so happy I am finally out of a tunic!  This left me really really close to 65, in which I did a few more quests and finally ended up with 65.

After getting 65, I went back and finished the last of my quests in Zangamarsh.  Thalios and some of the guys in the guilid wanted to take me on a run of something for my birthday so we went to Sethekk Halls.  It was a good run I got tad bit over 30% through 65 from it.  And for once managed to complete that quest on someone other than Laneer!   Both Mooku and Laneer the mage both managed to not get the first item off a boss and never finished one of the damn quests hehe

So I’m well into 65 now, and have finished Zangamarsh, not a bad day if I do say so myself!  So the halfway, well halfway through 60-70

So this was the first day that I remember and it was still not a great day. I was so tired of being in bed I got up and tried to play.I was first did the Heroic daily which was BF and I healed it without any trouble, and we did good. Though I did so how miss one of my badges which left me cursing.Then I did a heroic underbog, where we one shot every boss, and only wiped once when someone pulled a patrol and a pack at the same time :b We almost won that too!Best of all I did this all while with my Holy DPS spec, in my healing gear of course. Which means I don’t have to really be fully healing speced in order to do heroics yay! Which means I can actually do DPS roles if needed or wanted The other big deal was I finally got the fish finder book yay!
