My guild finished our weeks worth of raids early on Wed so I was able to login on my Druid and go into SSC with Onslaught (the guild who I tagged my Druid under) I was able to get there right in time for FLK which was great since I still needed the quest. Having only been in a main tank role in TBC, I must say it was interesting seeing these encounters from another pov. Mid FLK fight, i heard a healer call out of an intervate to whom I eagerly responded " I GOTCHA LIL BUDDY" It was great feeling valuable (not that being the MT aint important, its just that being a hybrid in a raid and knowing that I was the one that made sure that priest didn't run out of mana felt good inside... yeah I don't know.. SHUT UP! It just made me feel important)
We made our way for Vashj after FLK and with my gimpy gear I miraculously pulled #7 on DPS meters. I was able to get my first vile and was that much closer to being attuned. Next day we had started TK. After we had finished a very messy first pull the CC meters were linked in raid. Shottie was on top with 4... OHEMGEE did this make me blush. I belive I had totally spaced out and forgot which character I was playing. We got to Al'ar and they had wanted me to tank... cool! Them using 5 tanks for P1, four of which to stand on the balconies... not so cool! Prior to the raid the guilds leadership had asked me to help them shape up their tanks, having them mindlessly stand around on the platforms is certainly ain't the way to help them train (if you can even call it that) I got 6th on VR and 880 dps on Solarian (GG ROFLCANE!) Unfortunately the guild was not able to beat KT that night since they were attempting to attune 6 or so new people. But overall I had alot of fun. I got slightly more comfortable with the Druid's dps cycle as well as the furry tanking.
I feel farily comfortable when I have to shift into bear and tank since the cycle is very close to that of a warrior. PvP on the other hand is a pain, im starting to enjoy being feared about as much as being stunlocked by a mace rogue. My gear is no where near to the level that it should be thus making PvP very frustrating.

Being able to play more than one character well is something I am very proud of. My tank is 'me' but to fill needs in my new guild, I have been playing my resto druid in raids (3/6 SSC-1/4 TK..not cutting edge but were getting through) I am top 3 in effective healing almost every night even grabbed the tops spot once or twice. We have a superhuman pally who kicks my ass most of the time, though.
But Saturday night my ZA run got cancelled and we patched together a couple of Kara raids for badge farming. We started out "hope we can get to Prince maybe) I was on my tank and he is tagged as an alt in the guild. We had a few other alts and just a handful of raiders. Full clear. We had once squirrly trash wipe where a couple people were AFK and a group of mobs from well above us ganked us. We wiped twice on Netherspite, who was our last boss. We dominated, though our DPS was a little light and the boss fights were a tad longish. I felt particularly good about Prince as we had a decent spread of infernals but I had to run him across late in the fight. I took the Shadow Nova jump and intervened a pally who was out ahead of me and got right where I wanted to be.
I like to think I am a very good Wow player but I tend to stick to more casual guilds, partly because I play with my wife. I have time to play so I work on alts. I have two characters fully raid capable and I could probably hod my own on my mage.Posted 12-03-2007 at 08:29 AM by Horacio
