Raiding Dragon Soul – week 1

And onto Deathwing. Nearrrrrrly got him our last attempt, so should burn him this week!

First impressions of Dragon Soul: it’s fun, the bosses are pretty cool. Morchok is too easy even for a normal mode boss, but that’s okay. The real deal will be the heroics, but it’s been fun to get a feel for the fights. So some pretty pictures and brief thoughts: And that was my happy-fun-raid times this week. Dragon Soul should be fun – looking forward to clearing normal and belting up some heroics.

First day of 4.3 – dungeons and transmogrifying

Another fun fight, if you like eyeballs.

Well, I havent’ really prepared any transmog sets, as I have SO many old tier sets in the bank. I have moved most of them over to void storage now, and it’s all nice and organised. What I’m sporting at the moment: I don’t have the gloves, but my current gloves blend quite well. I love the simple moon helm, so I’ll be wearing that for a bit. My void storage still has a little space: I do now feel a little motivated to fill the … Continue reading

New druid guide – aggro!

I’ve just finished the text for a new druid guide about managing healing aggro. You can find it in the Druid guide menu above, or here. It’s basically a five man guide – though much of it would be useful for a new druid healer in raid fights with adds like Maloriak or … =thinks= … =draws blank= Wow, Blizzard have really cut back on add fights. In any case, I hope it’s useful for new druids, as well as any healers struggling in instances where … Continue reading

Magmaw is on twitter

Yes, our favourite anelid is tweeting about life as Nefarion’s captive. Read his daily rants and concerns, he answers questions and loot requests, including: “Now back to me- now back to you. Back to me- back to you. Back to Mangle.” “Halfus just told me plate mail is not biodegradable. Great. NOW what will I do with my leftovers? #ItsNotEasyBeingGreen” “I suppose the hallmark of civilization is forgivene- WAIT, WHAT’S THAT IN YOUR GCALENDER?!” But how does he tweet?- “My handlers are kind enough to apply … Continue reading

Link love

Having recently dipped into the WoW community on twitter, I’ve found lots of knowledgeable and articulate gamers out there sharing their wisdom. A couple of thought provoking articles I’ve read in the last week: A post about Guild Forums with some interesting questions to ponder from Bible of Dreams:http://www.furlinedteacup.com/bibleofdreams/2010/11/why-i-have-a-lovehate-relationship-with-guild-forums.html Murloc Parliament has some amazing articles, but this (combined with the comments that follow) really got me thinking. Great discussion:http://murlocparliament.com/2010/11/18/this-isnt-in-my-contract-when-the-raid-changes-plans-what-are-your-options/

Thinkspace

I’ve decided (finally) to start blogging some of my thoughts/theories/experiences playing World of Warcraft. Most of this will centre around playing my restoration druid (Glowberry) but as I have a handful of alternate characters I play, I’ll probably blog about these as well.Basically my poor GM was getting walls of text every time I wanted to discuss something. So perhaps blogging about all of this will help me avoid inflicting my rants on others For more information about Glow, and my history in playing WoW (and … Continue reading
