For Foreluney

My new friend Foreluney wants me to write about him.  This is sort of challenging since I’ve known him for all of 3 days.  But I like the guy, and I like challenges, so… what to say about Foreluney?   There’s something about the way that we met that seems important to me, so let’s talk about that.

3.3 Wheeeeeee!!!

Patch 3.3 hit the PTR today!  I’m pretty stoked about this development, as I’m sure many of you are.  I’ve been downloading the patch for the last hour or so, and it’s nearing completion.  I will probably take a premade character for a spin on the PTR this time around as a) I’ve never done [...]

Merchandising, Enterprising Me

I’ve been doing some thinking about how to make a bazillion dollars and never have to work or worry again.  Sometimes I do that.  Generally I’m in charge of inventions, while my husband is ostensibly the research and development/marketing guy, but between you and me and the wall… he doesn’t live up to his full [...]

Terribad

Last night I was full of fail.  Not just fail around the edges.  Fail pervasive.  Fail massive.  Fail epic.  Total fail. Here are the factors that contributed to my complete and utter chock-fullery of fail:  

Humbled

Not only did I join a new guild yesterday, I had my first raid with them in Heroic Ulduar.  Wow!  I had such a great time!  But over the course of the 3 and a half hours that we raided, I was incredibly humbled in two very different ways.

Replenishment: So that my cup runneth over…

Edit:  This post needed an overhaul because… shock of shocks… I messed up the math.  Thanks so much to Mythology to pointing out my misstep so that I could get this post back on track.  Be sure to read the comments here for more insight. In a comment to a recent post I did about [...]

Take 2 aspirin and call the healing lead in the morning…

Ok, so I’m back in the saddle here again on the blog.  I apologize for my somewhat extended hiatus.  I had much to take care of in the way of my personal and professional life, and just needed some time to decompress, sort our my priorities, and, I admit, indulge in a bit of wound [...]

Taking the Lead: Preparations for Giving Healing Assignments

We had a guild meeting last night to discuss some of the issues that are coming up for us in terms of raiding such as attendance and progression.  It was a good discussion in which everyone who wanted to was able to ask questions and make suggestions, and my hope is that we made some [...]

How’s your rep? Factions Raiding Restos Should Farm

One of the responsibilities that raiders take on is to raise their reputation with various factions in order to obtain items or enchants from them that will buff their performance.  Some of them also offer just cool perks, like achievements and titles, that you might be interested in picking up.  However, it is often hard [...]

Soothe Your Nerves, Druids. More on Innervate 3.1.2

I’ve spent the last day thinking a great deal about the changes to Innervate that are on the 3.1.2 PTR, tossing it around in my mind, throwing it at walls to see where it sticks.  I did try to do some testing of Innervate last night, but I don’t have much to report because I [...]
