Legion Countdown - Three Days to Go

Legion Countdown - Three Days to Go

The countdown to Legion is down to three days. As of 27 August there were three players that still needed to finish their preparations. Progress report:

    (1) Jezzibael (JB) completed both the Kharazan and Dalaran episodes, becoming the first non-tank character to get it done. To put the icing on the cake, she also took on two invasions and raised her gear level from i649 to i687. She now meets all requirements for Legion.

    (2) Phillypurdue had made no plans at all as of just a day ago. Her gear was a mess and, frankly, she wasn't sure she could remember how to be a shadow priest. Doing the  Kharazan and Dalaran episodes along with the battlefield with the demons got her blood boiling. She is now ready with a gear level of i664.

    (3) Wildshard should have been an easy fix. However, the patriarch of the Horde family has been "on vacation" for so long he had trouble finding his socks, much less locating his gear and preparing for battle. Wild retired as a balance spec druid and might have been content to stay that way. But Wild overheard Jocy asking JB to "keep an eye on Wild, he may need help getting through this." Later, when Wild learned that both horde and alliance families were going with tanking specs, Wild's stubborn streak came out. Soon, a terrible racket was heard in Wild's abode, drawing the attention of numerous onlookers wondering if something was dying in there. The subsequent ROAR had the crowd hastily falling back. Wild emerged in BEAR form.

Wild has largely been a healer throughout his career and exclusively healer in raids. For solo work he takes up the balance spec. One would have to go back to Wild's earliest days to find a time when Wild would don bear spec, primarily for seeking treasure in old dungeons. Beginning now, Wild is ready to take on the garb of a Guardian Druid. There's just one teeny tiny issue. Most of Wild's gear is +int gear, not the agility gear of a tanking druid.

Amazingly, that hurdle didn't seem to bother Wild. Wild completed all of the pre-requisites and then faced off in several invasions to prove he could not just survive, but thrive with a gear score of i669, even though six pieces of gear are still +int. Wild vows to fix that before Legion Launch.
