Tuesday (16 Mar) - Still Catching Up

Just because Rakta dominated the weekend does not mean that there was nothing else going on.

Philly tinkered about, getting 23% of the way to level 78. Wildshard has promised her that he is going to craft a set of Frostsavage gear for her, but he better get cracking. The gear is an excellent starter set for pvp, and Philly can start wearing it at level 78. Philly noticed Sis wearing that set, and she immediately wanted it.

JB has been playing almost exclusively in elemental spec over the past months, and has enjoyed the ranged DPS role. Yet JB was raised as an in-your-face melee enhancement shaman, and she recently broke out her set of enhancement gear for sentimental reasons. While the gear had been well cared for, the set was very dated, and not something she would dare wear around at level 80. Bringing that gear up to present standards was a daunting proposition. JB thought long and hard about what she wanted. First and foremost she was now a near full time pvp player. Her best gear was pvp based, gear that many pve groups looking for raiders would frown on. And to be honest, dungeons and raiding were more to Wild's and Phillie's liking than JBs. JB wanted grab DER in a headlock and tell him, "You did this to me, buddy. . . and I like it!" Pvp is now in JB's blood.

In pvp the next best thing to lighting up opposing raiders with Chain Lightning and Lava Burst is laying down the heals to keep the pew pewers going. So JB made the break from her enhancement roots, replacing that spec with a healing spec targeted to pvp. She can't wait to try it out.

Wild finally got around to working on his mouldering Tailoring profession. In recent days he's taken the profession from skill 425 up to 444. Wild just needs a lucky skill up on a frostweave bag to hit the max 450. Those skill ups burned up all of the frostweave and lots of other mats, but it also got Philly a ton of cloth gear she can wear from level 78-80. Oh, and that included the Frostsavage pvp set Philly was drooling over, so now all she needs to do is get to level 78.

As for the guild 25 man raid Tuesday night, there were thirty raiders signed up. Wild was back on the Standby list, and did not get an invite. That was expected, though, since Wild got to run on Wednesday last week.

The better news is that Bd, the warrior raid leader for the MM group, is back! His job situation has changed again, giving him hope that he may be able to start running the wed/thurs ten man again. Wild is already signed up for the guild 25 man for Wednesday, but if not invited, perhaps BD will be able to get a ten man going.
