And the fur will fly! Hopefully...

Took Loke into two instances last night: AN and UK. Tanked both. They went well, but the UK run was much much smoother.Now, Loke is a feral bear that wants to get out there and prove that he can tank, even as a bear. My personal tanking experience has always been a paladin. So... some mental adjustments have to be made. Thankfully the runs went smoothly. But the group conpositions were radically different for each instance. Not so much the classes, but the players attitudes. A lot of what Kaly said...

The little priest who tries too hard

So yesterday, Kaly and I decided to do the RaF program so she could powerlevel a paladin. I created a priest. And it's been interesting since.Poor little girl is level 16 now, with her trusty backpack full of quest items and about 46 copper to her name. She's missing skills, can't talk to anyone in the world, can't trade with people. She's a ghost of her future self. Though she does have a bank she can use... o.O Kinda frustrating. But we've already done the account upgrade and scheduled a monthly...

?

Kaly covered a lot of what happened last night in her blog. These are just some of my own thoughts about the state of things.1) I feel that I need to speak with Garris about Oingaboinga. Kaly and I both were uncomfortable around him, and I for one don't want to do any raids with him. I suspect Kaly feels the same way. However that puts us into a delima.2) Without the "alliance" that we've formed with Garris, we don't really know enough people to try and throw together any pug raids of our own.3)...

Shaman Healing Equivalency Points (Shaman_hep)

So... I downloaded two mods: LoggerHead and shaman_hep to help point me in the right direction for my haste vs. crit issue.After installing ActivePerl and letting LoggerHead record a couple of 10/25 man raids and a few heroics, I get this as a result.For healing output:1 SP = 1 SP (0.2946 hps)1 Crit rating = 0.7013 SP (0.2066 hps)1 Haste rating = 1.6260 SP (0.4790 hps)1 INT = 0.3625 SP (0.1068 hps)For mana regen:1 MP5 = 1 mp51 Crit rating = 0.0683 mp51 Haste rating = -0.1911 mp51 INT = 0.2219 mp51...

Haste vs Crit balance issues

So I've definitely noticed a difference in how I heal heroics versus raids.Heroics, I need tons of haste for that slow slow Chain Heal. Raids, I need crit for huge Lesser Healing Waves.Unfortunately, I'm not at a gear level to be able to swap pieces out for haste/crit depending on what I'm healing.Maybe if I just insist on tossing Lesser Healing Waves around during heroics, see how that goes, instead of using Chain Heal so much.All I know is that when I need a heal RIGHT NOW!! it's too late. I can...
