Tuesday (28 Sep) - About That Raid - Never Mind

Now, don't make anything of this, but while Wild has been cooling his considerable heels, little Philly has been busy behind the scenes. Who's Philly? Oh, well, I guess it's been awhile. Philly is a priest. A Horde priest on Silvermoon. In Happy's guild. Starting to remember? She's level 81 and had aspirations of greater things, but that was before ... whatever it was that side-lined her. Probably a little bored with life - but now she's back, because now it's Wild's life that has gotten a bit boring.

Philly cleaned herself up, got rid of a couple of bags worth of old pre-Cata pvp gear that was really pretty useless in the here and now, and straightened out her spell rotations and talent specs for DISC and Shadow. She's keeping her goals very simple, starting with a little pvp as a DISC healer. Philly had a lot of fun with that back in the Wintergrasp battleground days, and pvping was sounding fun again. The shadow spec could be used for leveling, or maybe some dungeon runs ... but slow down, let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

On Tuesday night Philly tried out a random pvp BG and found herself in Warsong Gulch. Neither the horde or alliance teams knew what they were doing, but we were a bit less bad than they were. We capped their flag somehow, and Philly thought we might actually be getting a little organized, but no, we fought mid while both flags sat in their bases. Ok, Philly got in some good healing practice. She was really pretty rusty. I also realized my mouseover keys were not set for mouseover use, so Philly had to do the clicky-clicky thing for the whole fight. Eh, have to fix that. Not using the Nostromo, by the way, that's strictly Death Knight use right now.

We did win 3-0. Philly died a lot but still led in healing with double the heals of the #2 - although there may be some problems with the stats since it also showed a hunter second in healing. Hmm. Oh well, no matter, Philly had fun and is going to fool around some more. She was already 74% of the way to level 82, and that one WSG win pushed her up to 85%. She only had 55 honor, though, having used a lot of what she used to have on heirloom gear for Hunter Fortress and the allie cousins. She's back up to 202 honor now.

Then there was an Isle of Conquest. I barely remembered this place and Philly had never won a battle here, which I knew because Horde won and she got the achievement. Now 91% to level 82 and she has 292 honor. She led all comers in healing, too. This is fun.

The next BG, Alterac Valley, was a loss, but Philly followed that up with a second Isle win and with that Philly DINGED! to level 82.

Don't be surprised if Philly wanders off again, though. She's keeping things very low key. But it's nice to have her around again.
