Biting the Bullet

So, after a few months of break, I finally decided to stop goofing off and get back into raiding. I dropped my guild (that was basically me, my alts, and a few real life friends) and joined a newly established guild of quite a few experienced members. I brought one of my RL friends with me, one went to a BT/MH guild, and my roommate stayed in the guild since he currently doesnt have time to actually raid. It is kind of refreshing jumping into a guild and people actually supporting your ideas on bosses rather than the old "You're not the raid leader and I dont have to listen to your ideas even if they do make sense." I have actually raided with alot of these guys, including their main paladin tank whom respects me as a good tank...so I feel its going to actually be a good place for me for once rather than being outside of a clique guild trying to struggle to keep my head above the water.

They really wanted me to join, as I got whispers from about 8 of their members over the course of the weekend because apparently they really needed a prot warrior. As of current, we have 2 prot pallies and myself, all well geared and well experienced. I wont be arrogant to say i am an excellent tank, but compared to probably 70% of the tanks on my server, I definately get noticed. If we manage to find us a well geared feral druid, we will be set for tanks with probably the best setup you could ask for.

I ended up spending all my time and gold this weekend, mostly saturday and sunday, farming primal shadow (freaking 30g apiece on the ah this weekend...of course it was the weekend I needed them so prices jumped) for my resist set. Late sunday night, I had finished it. I did the normal Kara, which took a bit longer than normal due to some people not paying attention. (We wiped on netherspite for the first time in a long time and i actually had to tank him for quite a while without a red beam...that was fun.)

I did...after 6 months of Gruuls, finally get my shield to drop off of him in one of the worst gruul pugs I had ever been in. Luckily it did not have my name attached to it as I was not the one leading it, but it all turned out in the end. I also did some ZA on sunday, only to have the undergeared OT out roll me on both the malacrass helm AND the zul'jin trinket. Which was fine, I probably would not have used either and would have passed them to him...it was just irritating that he loot whored both items. Typical reasons why I never pass in a pug...ever.

I cannot wait to start raiding on Tuesday. For once, I am excited to be back to raiding in WoW. Its about time I get the urge to raid..
