The blog post... OF DOOOOM!

Okay so I was SOOOO close to being done with this blog post when I tried to upload Jbean's request to the site when it refreshed the freaken page and I lost it all. Thanks Jbean. -_-; Hopefully I can remember what I put the first time.

So this post is long over do by days... unfortunately with work and sleeping a good 15 hours one day, it kind of pushed this back and back and back and back... But I am here now typing this out (again...) I am sacrificing precious sleep time for this too. >< But any who onto the updates!

Almirmiel
My level 85 Priest just hit 85 on April 19th 2011 and within 2 hours was already doing Heroics. I put myself on a 2 week deadline to get her ready for raids. Its progressing really well, even though I am still wearing 3 pieces of pvp gear I am already at an item level of 345. Thanks to Evo, I have great confidence in my healing skills even now when I still believe they are craptasic. Other than tweaking my spec a bit she is doing really good for being fresh out of the gates of 85. I refused to make the same mistakes I did with Ignasia and wait to till the last minute to do my reputation grinding. I started RIGHT when she turned 85 and hit her first dungeon. I already have Guardians of Hyjal almost to Exalted, it's so close. And she is currently working on Dragonmaw Clan which is a little through Revered.

Ignasia
The one. The only. Iiiiiiiigggggnasia! Okay so she's not that awesome, she gets an introduction. Yet. I'm becoming very impressed with this character. She is now pulling on average 12-15k dps in Heroic Dungeons. She is becoming top on the charts for anything she runs. And speaking of runs. -smiles- I finally managed to find a group that was capable of downing a raid boss. With 8 other strange players, Magiere and I finally managed to down Magmaw. I unfortunately didn't get anything out it except the experience of being able to take down the adds with only 1 other person to help. Magiere on the other hand managed to get a small upgrade. It was very fun and really exciting due to it being my first raid boss that I've done in Cataclysm. I managed to finally prove myself as being a skilled player to others, which was the biggest loot from that experience. (Now if only Damage Control could see it.)

Requests

Omg I have blog requests (that hopefully does not refresh my page again). This means people actually read my blog. -holds hand over mouth gasping- Its so amazing! I love requests so if anyone has anything please let me know and you may see it up here. This one is from Jbean, an officer from Damage Control. His first request was to buy a shirt that said he was awesome, but I refused only cause I didn't want to buy something I may only wear once. So he agreed on just a picture on my blog. And here it is: 

"Jbean is awesome!"

Unfortunately for him I know someone who out ranks him in my books. This guy has helped me out so much in the last few days I thought he deserved a sign as well. So here it is:

"But Evo is better"

Thank you again Evo for everything you've done for me and the countless hours of sleep you sacrificed for me. Even now I still crave to hear that sweet Aussie accent. -smiles- You make running dungeons worth it for me, again. I can't wait to get back online and do it all over again... night after night after night after night.

So I want to wish every one Happy Easter! I hope everyone is getting fat off of candy and chocolate bunnies. I will be going to my family's house here in less than an hour and I still haven't slept at all since I got off work. Wish me luck. I will have been up 24 hours come 8:30pm. I'm really hoping I can make it through dinner. I will see everyone after the holiday.

The Come Back

Okay so for those like two people that were reading this blog. I'm finally updating again. The race between my Rogue and Priest still continues. However, my Priest is now sitting at level 83. While my Rogue has stopped short at level 60. Just for the record, I would like to note I really hate Burning Crusade questing. So for some reason I can't bring myself to level much more by myself on that character.

Almirmiel: 83 Holy Priest
The journey to being Raid Ready has begun! I'm not making the same mistake twice with rep grinding. I'm getting all my tabards now so when I hit 85 I can start going for my epic items. Some of my Horde Cities are already exalted as I try to work towards my 50 Mount achievement. I wonder who will get there first Almir or Iggy? Lol. Iggy is only 6 away too. As for healing right now, OMG is it difficult! I feel like I've been nerfed to nothing. My heals are currently complete crap. I'm deeply considering not doing any dungeons till 85. Shadow spec I must say is amazing though. I blow through quests. I'm very glad I picked this class to be my second to 85.

Ignasia: 85 Fire Mage
So all the while, Iggy has sat on back burner. HOWEVER! I have been doing her daily heroic to get her... dun dun dun... her second piece of Tier 11, the chest piece. Now I'm working towards getting Haunt of Flies. Which shouldn't take me long at all to get if I really set my mind to it. After getting my chest piece I sat on Rawr twinking my gear. I upped my dps alone (unbuffed) 400 points. This was only after gemming and reforging so that I was again hit capped. Yes, you heard me... hit capped. -sticks out tongue- I was VERY proud of myself tonight, I did a BH pug run and was number one dps at 15k. I thought getting second was good but now its even better. I can't wait to get the rest of my gear. UGH I hate Hellscream's Reach though. I hate it with a passion. I need to stop putting it off though.

Guild Updates
Damage Control is currently recruiting skilled raiders. And for those of you reading this blog not in Damage Control. Understand... even after all this -points around to the progress through the blog- I am still not a raider for them. Yeah, so you better be good if you think to apply to the guild.

However, I have started raiding with University of Suramar (Remy's guild). They have unfortunately not been able to down the first two bosses in Blackwing Decent. Hopefully though, this weekend we are trying for Bastion of Twilight to see if we do any better. So also on that note: University of Suramar is always looking for people to run with week after week to hopefully down these raids. You don't have to be in the guild, they are just looking for good consistent people. Please send tell to Voenyzhena in game if you are interested.

Kat: The Player
So work is getting better. Next week I get three days off, which I'm greatly looking forward to. I've had more time to play World of Warcraft recently. It probably shows with how quick Almir leveled. I am still very depressed with Iggy though. More than anything right now I wish I could be raiding with Damage Control. I just got my shirt I ordered in the mail tonight.

It reads from top to bottom: Damage Control, Ignasia, Blood Elf - Mage, Surmar

 

 I saw the shirt advertised through Blizzard and figured I was so happy to get into Damage Control I might as well get something as a memento and so I did. -smiles- I will probably buy more, maybe one for Almirmiel when she hits 85.
