Someone is a TANK

Ashenvale, Southeast of Iris Lake Approximately 10:30pm server time. -------------------------------------------------------- A bear charges out of the woods towards Muij. Its menacing roar shattering the quiet forest babble. Muij quickly surrounds himself with a shiny white shield of holy light to lessen the impact. The first bear is followed by a second. An answering roar comes from behind Muij as Gryphaen veers. Her bear form lumbers past him and intercepts the first bear. The second bear also sees her and throws itself at her. Muij quietly fades back out of their sight and heals the Druid's wounds as quickly as they appear. The second bear notices the holy light on Muij's hands and starts to turn... only to have a symbol of blue jagged lightning appear over his head as Gryphaen lets loose an ear piercing roar that weakens both bears. They both attack the Bear-druid with renewed focus, but the roar was too loud and has attracted other attention as well. Two s

Very much impressed

How do you people keep up with all your blogs? Dammy just put all my favorite blogs onto an AAA reader and I've been randomly reading some but number of new posts that I need to read keep on adding up. And this morning, since I skipped the YMCA due to a neck straining that I have no idea how I got it, I tried to catch up. And failed miserably. I simply cannot intake that much info into my brain. And so many I put back on the shelf for later because it was well-written, had good info in it, and it really deserves at least 10% of my attention (sorry, the other 90% is taken up with Orclette, hubby, family, work, etc.). And it piles up. So I am very impressed with all of ya's who can keep up with their homies. Whee! I used homies in a sentence. Just be glad you're seeing it typed and not said aloud because it would sound really strange coming from me. Dammy's priest, Muij, and I (Gryphaen) parked ourselves in Ashenvale. I don't like Ashenvale. I might have m

The wall of PAIN.

In leveling a couple of different toons lately I keep smashing into this brick wall that frustrates me. Less xp when in party. Why? Why? Why? I understand that you don't want to give the same xp as a person would get solo. Then everyone would group and level super fast just by grinding. But as it is? I honestly abhor grouping when I want xp. I don't care if it helps me get this quest done faster. It slows my leveling down to such a degree that it isn't worth it. EVER. I'd rather respec at 70 and learn to play then. Like everyone else does. Group to complete a quest/instance... sure(as long as my primary goal isn't leveling). Yet I still party. This is because ideally partying is fun*. I pay a monthly fee to play with others. Thats it. So even though I KNOW it will slow me down, I party with my wife and brother. Why? Because it makes wow more enjoyable. Even though it gives me the feeling I'll never reach 70. Besides if I just soloed the likelyhood

Much, much better

I respecced feral, bought new gear, was pleasantly surprised to find really good deals on AH, and I got my water form. I hate water. In RL I don't quite hate it but I have a strong distaste for it. And in WOW-I just can't move very well in it. Dammy tells me that it's just like land movement but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. Water form helps in that I'm in no danger of dying from lack of air and I move so much faster which means less time spent in water-HOORAY but still no love there. And if you've ever played druid you'll know that in order to get water form you have to spend a lot of time in the water. A guildie was incredibly nice and let me tag along with him as he was also getting the water form. Little orclette woke up halfway through our arduous quest and he was very understanding when I put myself on follow and let him do all the work (we had to run through Wetlands as he didn't have the flight point for Westfall, which you have

So I went link crazy.

I feel so much better about my alts now. Thank you. Fio is a ninja person ? Dang I wish I could somehow sneak into AC. Fio + TJ + Squeeing + Hobbes... so much. Pookie is the biggest reason to play a hunter. How do YOU reader? Yeah figuring this out took me forever. They should explain more of this stuff in Shaman class. Iffin we can do this in patch 2.4 I'll be one VERY happy panda. I'm not one . But you may be. Are you? I didn't even USE my bank until about a month ago. I make more alts. Until the old becomes new and the new becomes old. And for the big FINISH! I like Tiaras R Us . How does one play a feral druid anyways? Only Klaki answered so far and its been like 100000 meeelion hrs since she posted the question this morning. I'm very curious. And no I'm not just asking this question so I'll have an excuse to link another thing. I'm asking this question so I won't get EATEN for posting on top of her.

Horrible, horrible, horrible

That is how you would describe what happened last night. I, through dint of persistence and perseverence, got myself to 1/3 of the way into lvl 19 and was all prepared to ding 20, finally get my cat form, and become an awesome cat/bear druid. We all log on, my druid, Dammy's warlock, and brother-in-law's hunter. The hunter is the leader but he really doesn't like being in that position so there were frequent discussions over where to go next. We ended up in the wetlands which was just a bit high for warlock and self but we decided to give it a go. I'm following along, healing, because I'm a resto druid, popping out faery fire and the moonshine thingy every once in awhile. Things are going ok, until a mob aggroes me. No problem, I don't start running around in circles (which I found out was a bad thing to do if you're the healer). I park myself next to the hunter who has the tanking pet. He ignores me. The warlock ignores me. I start healing myself but the mo

Lazy

Bleh I got lazy and spent time with my wonderful awesome daughter and watched the superbowl with friends and actually did 'work' for my employer. I know, I know. Where are my priorities you ask? I have no excuses. Except for a beautiful woman I like to kiss and a cute gurglebutt I like to hug. Lame aint it ;P. My horde characters are in no hurry to level. They enjoy doing what they do when they do it. But my little gnome feels very much the pressure to be older NOW. She wants to help her guild, she wants to feed littlebies gold and shinies and potions. Its all very intense. Gamedame asked what I(us shamans) like about playing a shaman. And since my previous post slightly opted out of this I'm sticking this paragraph in here all crosswise. Most of what I like isn't usable in combat. I like fishing in the middle of a bay. I like ghostwolf at lower levels. I like the burst damage and how it makes you feel. I like the shiny orbs glowing around me. I like ressing people and
