Last night, I was in on my first-ever ZA clear. It was fairly easy, and we got three out of four chests, even with two wipes on eagle. It was my first time seeing Zul'jin, and it was a little crazy, especially the Dragonhawk phase. I get the feeling our DPS decided to ignore the threat wipe on that last phase change, as big ZJ was kind of just rampaging all over the place. We still downed him in one shot (just like all the other bosses, save for Eagle). I wasn't really surprised at how easy the...

My guild cleared ZA last night, for the first time. I haven't had any word as to how long it took, or any loot that dropped, but we now have the screen shots in our ZA Mortuary thread on our forums.

Yeah, I was off having real-life fun at a concert. It kinda sucks that I wasn't there for the kills, but hey... I got to see one of my favorite bands for only $5.00

I can only hope that this doesn't kill all the enthusiasm for ZA, as I'd like another shot at Malacrass...

I haven't tanked much since the patch. I'm just getting that out there. About the only thing I've tanked is the Headless Horseman, which, as we all know, is a cinch. But it still gives some insight on tanking rotation. I'm going to assume you have Sword and Board. It's a no-brainer, and if you don't have it, you should get it. Honestly, not much has changed, and a lot of people will find this to be a pretty useless post, but without further ado, here's the GCD rotation.

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...

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....
