We found ourselves a guild: Dogs. It’s a nice one. Still Alliance, still Bloodfeather.

Something’s boring me, I think it’s me
It’s come to a point where I log in to World of Warcraft on my druid, check my auction house sales, check the daily fishing and cooking quests, maybe do a battleground and become bored.
I log out and look at my character selection screen: grind heroics on the warlock for emblems? Don’t think so. Level the priest? Zangarmarsh — CBA. Level shammy who is level 6? LOL. Doubt it.
When there’s no raids I can do, it becomes boring, simple as that. I could grind battlegrounds, which is fairly entertaining, but neither do I want to drain myself out for when Ben comes home from work to do arena, or battleground or raids.
Basically it’s a time when we both wish we weren’t hundreds of miles apart. What we can do together as things are now: play World of Warcraft, watch movies/Heroes/Californication and … that’s about it. Damn it all. If we were together, you know, under the same roof, in the same city, we would bring a camera and be going out, (not) enjoying the weather and just hang about and enjoy each other’s company.
Things aren’t made easier by the fact that I have no idea what else to do than do stuff in WoW — the very reason I’m rambling here, at least it’s something to keep me busy for the five minutes it took me to write this down.
Seriously: something’s boring me, I think it’s me.

Meters aren’t everything, but just sayin’
I always kind of thought that an addon for World of Warcraft that automatically takes a screenshot whenever you achieve an achievement (…) was a tad … superficial and pointless. However, being the me that I tend to be, I get one anyway (for whatever reason).
During the past week my druid has attained herself a few achievements, and I’ve found this little pointless addon to not be quite so pointless. I mean: check this out:
Do you see those icons shown in the grid? Yeah, that’s the debuff you receive when you get hit by the flame wall appearing every 30 seconds or so. This is an easily avoidable debuff that’ll kill you without any heals. Can you count how many people are affected by it? Yep, that’s right, nine people. Now, do you see the counter to the left that says 4:54:06? Good. That’s how long the encounter took: from the first hit until Sartharion died. Flame wall comes up roughly every 30 seconds for shortly under 5 minutes. That’s eight or nine flame walls. And these people really failed at dodging those flames. About every 30 seconds ~10 people got hit by that flame wall receiving that nasty debuff. What happens if they don’t get heals? They die. All this makes for insane healing required.
Thank god for Hercraft, a PVP specced (focused on self-survival more than throughput) disc priest who manged to out-heal (absorbed damage not accounted for, mind you!) the other tree and the two paladins by a clear margin. Meters aren’t everything, but just sayin’ … In this particular situation, that’s either poor by the other healers, or amazing by the disc priest: I say it’s both.

In process of being semi-forced to faction change to Horde. I don’t want to be a stupid cow.

My priest is now level 53. Going fast and slow at the same time.

I watched an Ulduar (25 player) PUG
… and I’m amazed by how poorly some people perform. They had seven or eight healers all averageing at 1.7k (rounded up!) HPS at the end of the +10 minute long fight. Yes, they hit enrage and just killed Razorscale afterwards as they managed to get two heroisms up during the fight.
1.6-1.7k DPS. Read that again. Now, read this: four trees, two shamans, one disc priest, one paladin and another priest. Still people died.
