Today is the last day of the school holidays - HURRAH! Non-WOW part first….

Over the last week and a half we’ve had our family ‘holiday’ consisting of days out from home. I’ve done Legoland, Laserforce (pew pew), Oasis Beach Pool (swimming, waves, spa, rapids and general fun), Sea Life Centre and dinner out with Mother in Law, a Zoo Park (with white tigers and Binturong - I LOVE Binturong - they are gorgeous). We’ve also completely kitted out daughter’s bedroom with new desk, dressing table and storage units for girlie things as opposed to Lego.

Binturong remind me of me - going a bit grey at the edges but still with a sparkle in their eyes

On the WOW front it’s been a week of mixed things. I’ve not really been able to sign up to raids because of going out and getting up early and being generally shattered from walking around Legoland. I managed to get in raids for a Heroic Rotface (more loots - I won Trauma because it apparently drops for them all the time) and normal Putricide kill, had a few tries on Blood Council Heroic before being swapped out and a Sindragosa kill (even moar lootz… Sundial of Eternal Dusk) - that was a bit manic!

The whole 25 man things is kind of scary having done 10 man things for so long. There’s so many people everywhere, so many more boxes to watch, so much going on. I finally cottoned on to having Tuskarr’s Vitality on my boots (not quite sure how I missed having it before) but it really really helped on Sindragosa and I managed to run out safely AND turn round first - woo hoo!

It’s been a bit hit and miss for being invited. I got miserable one night having sat outside ICC for a couple of hours unable to do any quests or anything so I was in the raid and available. There were 6 other priests in the raid, so I was obviously not first choice. But, the good thing with being invited for hte easy stuff they have done lots before is that I clear up all the priesty loots which are good upgrades for me but all the other priests have already. Not that I’m in it for the loot, but you know - when it is there and nobody else wants it

Last night was better. I got in from the start. We were working on Heroic Putricide - talk about a baptism of fire! It was completely manic, but good fun. Ooozes everywhere, plagues to pass about, goo and slime to avoid. My biggest disappointment was being asked to go Holy! I’ve so forgotten how to be an effective Holy priest. Time to get the Power Auras working again I think.

We had 9 or 10 tries over 2 hours and almost got to the last phase. It was progress and I felt like I did OK. We then killed him normal and went to duff up Lich King. People were asking for a bio break, having been going for over 2 hours, but we decided to give it one try then have a stop.

Lich King 25 man isn’t much different to 10 man. You get 3 Val’kyr instead of one, but apart from that it seemed just the same to me. We one shot him! Bloody rubbish loot as usual, so that is the same as 10 man in my experience too

Over the weekend I did a fair bit of a 10 man run (as Disc- YAY!) and managed to snag one of the achievements for the meta thingy…

I’m not going to be able to raid for a week now because of school restarting and needing to be up early after 9 weeks of lie-ins. Also, work have decided that I am needed for a meeting in Germany on Monday and Tuesday next week, so am off jet-setting then.

Plans this week are to work on remembering how to be a Holy priest. Damn I miss Disc. It’s such an ego boost for a priest to be top of the healing meters. Ah well, as long as I’m raiding again I’m happy I’m still not 100% sure I’ve done the right thing in moving guilds, but at the moment it’s feeling OK.

Oh, and I made friends with more people…
