What Once Was, Isn't but what Isn't Might Be?

What Once Was, Isn't but what Isn't Might Be?

That's about as confusing for you to read as it was for me to write as I was coming up with a good title for my post.  Rest assured that this won't be another babbling rant.  Yes, it will be a lot of babbling, but not a rant.

What Once Was, Isn't.  

That means, I was a tank in tier 1 raiding content for Cataclysm with my raid guild.  Let me be more clear, I was an off-tank on quite a few nights and occasionally asked to heal.  

So...

I once was a tank.

Isn't?

In tier two raiding content, I'm healing almost all encounters and only occasionally being asked to tank here and there.

I isn't a tank anymore...kind of.

I didn't really think too much about it as we made our way through the first night or two of raiding.  I tend to think very little about the potential loot drops and more about the fact that I'm just happy to be bumbling around with the raid group.  It's an awful lot of fun most of the time.

But when we downed our first boss and a resto druid chest dropped, it dawned on me that I really had no idea what spec I was really supposed to be looking at as my main spec and which was an off spec.  I passed on the first two resto pieces and one potentially feral piece until I decided maybe I needed to check in with officers.

I mean...main spec in  previous raids was always bear.  Off spec was resto.  Surely that wasn't still the case.  But I wasn't sure.

When I inquired about this, you know, because inquiring bears wanna know...I was told that it seems like my main spec is resto for now, but that might or might not change.

That was kind of the conclusion I already had.

I guess I've never really been in a situation where this mattered before.  Previously, I always ran with 10 man raid groups because the guilds I ended up really just weren't big enough for 25 man raid groups.  So either I was the only one in the entire run that could wear any leather, or I was the only druid.  We rarely had rogues with us.  They seem to be a rare find these days.

And warlocks.


Where the hell have all the warlocks gone?  I WANT MY CANDY!


Oh right, stay focused...I don't even remember what I was talking about anymore.  I just finished working on a few things for work and basically my mind still all wrapped up in that.  I guess I felt guilty for not posting and thought I'd share some random stupid experience I've had since my last post.


And apparently people in my guild are either starting to get used to me or are starting to like me?  I don't know.  Some of them are randomly being more social toward me than before.  It generally seems to be shamans that attach themselves to me.  Not sure why.  Because we share animal forms?  I really don't know.   Just saying.  


So I'm going to retreat back to my RL for a little while.  Hopefully I'll be back to post sooner, rather than much later.  Until next time...


MUCH LOVE!


PS:  So far, guild progression is - Some solid attempts on Beth'ilac, Starting Baleroc tonight and we've downed Shannox and Rhyolith (and basically have them on farm WOOT WOOT).
