I've been kind of bored with WoW lately. I wasn't leveling my shaman, and I wasn't doing anything with my warrior except for raiding once a week (at most... ZA didn't go off last week). I've even become bored with Brewfest already. Then two things happened.

First, I respecced my shaman. I went Resto, and started healing instances. So easy, and yet so fun. As long as the tank is the only one taking damage, all I have to do is throw the occasional Healing Wave and keep Earth Shield...

The brewfest boss, Coren Direbrew, drops the equivalent of 41 badge trinkets. You might not want to pay 41 badges for [item]Gnomeregan Auto-Blocker 600[/item], but a couple kills for [item]Coren's Lucky Coin[/item] might be worth it. Or better yet, you can get [item]Empty Mug of Direbrew[/item] and save yourself having to buy [item]Bloodlust Brooch[/item].

Healing and spell damage trinkets also exist, if you want those:
[item]Direbrew Hops[/item]
[item]Dark Iron Smoking...

It took us three real tries. One of our PuGgers accidentally aggro'd before we were ready, so that was a fake try. The first real try, we got him down to 2% and I got crushed for 7.6k. It sucks, but it happens, I guess. I was spamming Shield Block as hard as I could, but I guess he slipped one through.

The second try, I picked up Mag when he released, and got no active healing. I had Earth Shield up, as well as a stack of Lifebloom, but that wasn't enough to take the 9k cleave....

So, apparently, there is less than a week left until the Mageroyal Syndicate takes on Magtheridion. It's kind of hard to tell, because there has been significantly less fanfare involved as compared to our Gruul run. Nobody's really talking about Mags, and there are only 10 or so signed up for the raid. Which, honestly, makes me wonder if it will go off.

Anyway, in preparation, I will likely be going about things in approximately the same manner as I did for Gruuls. Instead of an unstable...

I seem to have lost my avatar, and I don't know how to get it back. I have a profile picture, but no avatar (which shows next to my posts and comments).

In other news, this week will apparently be a Kara run for my guild. My girlfriend will be running on her priest, so I'll be relegated to doing something non-WoW. Oh well, whatever. Maybe I'll play guitar or write or read or something.

I would like to PuG some Kara at some point, though. I don't really do it with the...
