Ragnar-O's

Truth be told, I couldn't think of a title for this post so I just picked a random achievement we got recently and went with it.  I'm having sort of a writer's block or something this morning.  I'll remedy that with another cup of coffee.

Quick Updates:

• My shaman has her 4pc tier 12.  Still waiting on other drops though.
  My druid has her 4pc tier 12 and heroic shoulders from Shannox (H).  
  We've killed heroic Shannox...twice now I think.
• We made a few attempts at Heroic Staghelm.  
• We're going to keep working on our heroic progression list.

I am finding that I should really research a few classes so that I stop being horrible at them.  I'm "good" with my shaman, but on the report card it says, "Room for improvement."  I'd like to learn more about my mage, death knight and warlock too...I just lack motivation to do so.

I also found that trying to balance out my gear once I got the helm token and the new shoulders made me miserable.  I hate math.  I hate it with the fury of a thousand suns.  Between the helm and the shoulders, I ended up with a ton of extra haste but I wanted to try out some mastery on my gear so I didn't want to press past the next haste breakpoint.  So I reforged this, then re-gemmed that, then reforged this and restored the first thing, then changed another gem, then changed this enchant, then changed it back and reforged something else...When I logged out, I was at 2013 haste rating, 8 points above the 2005 required.  That's not too shabby.

But I guarantee you that next week, Beth'tilac (aka: Spiderbitch) will drop the helm I had been waiting to see for the past...well since the first two druids got theirs.  I kept passing on it figuring it would drop again fairly soon.  Four weeks passed and it never dropped.  I guarantee that next week it will drop.  Why?  Because I've already upgraded my helm.  Hopefully somebody in the group will be able to use it.

Speaking of the raid, we normally have 4-ish hours of raiding.  The only boss we had to kill last night was Ragnaros though, so we were done with loot and random raid shenanigans within 2 hours.  It was sort of eerie.  We still have raid night on Monday, but with all of the Firelands bosses down...I'm not sure what we'll be doing.  Maybe we'll go back and try heroic Blackwing Descent or something.  Heroic Conclave?  Who knows?

I'm really wanting to try out the new gear with the 4 piece bonus though.  Swiftmend will now heal a nearby raid member for the same amount it heals the primary target.  I have a feeling that's going to come in really handy.  I just want to see it though.  Maybe I'll play in some five mans tonight to test it out.  

For now, I'm going to bounce though.  The coffee just finished brewing and I'm going to go get a cup before it's gone! 


Until next time:  Be Happy, Heroes!
