Again, After A Long Break From Blogging...

Thanks to IRL obligations over the last 3 months, I have barely had time to play WoW, let alone blog about playing WoW!  I am finally done with my latest theatrical exploits, and recently have had a few days to relax and spend some time playing the game.

I still am loving my paladin.  She will always be my main.  With the latest changes, paladins are becoming more and more like the Gnomish Army Knife of healers, moreso now than ever before.  We can AOE heal, we can tank heal, we can run into the middle of things or we can stay further back.  Full raid heals are somewhat lacking when compared to other healers, but if called upon to step in for a dead healer or whatnot, we can get the job done.  I am still somewhat irked about the loss of speedy movement burst that we used to get from our insta-cast Holy Radiance, but meh.  Just means I have to keep my head up rather than staring at my health bars so much!  Also am still not digging a full set for my paladin, all I know is that I want the Lightbringer Helm (from Tier 6).  I still am waffling about if I want to really go after a whole set for my Paladin, or put together something that really is unique and something that no one else will be wearing!

I have tried to heal in the Looking For Raid and it went fairly well.  Though I feel like the LFR raids are so dumbed down, a monkey could at the very least DPS their way through Dragon Soul.  I will say that it's a good way for smaller, more intimate guilds to start raiding and those people who lack an overly active guild but still want to raid can go out and do so.

A while back I had started up a priest for the purpose of having a tailor and inscriptionist, and have come quite attached to her.  Holy Priests are quite a different animal compared to Holy Paladins, but I am enjoying playing this new character.  She is now 77 and I would LOVE to get the Incarnate Set (Tier 4) for her, as it is simple, classy, and perfect for her back story.  The only other tier I might go after on my priest is the Sanctification Set (Tier 8), but that's only if I am feeling REALLY ambitious.  :3

And to finish this post, here is a random shot from my screenie folder...
