Lethal Shots

Another week, another mental vomit from me.

• Server upgrades and extended maintenance today? If 3.1.2 didn’t drop today, but I bet it will next week.
• More Naxx and no Ulduar over the weekend. Sure, Naxx is fun and all but I really want to see the new content. Just need to get guildies (and me) geared up more.
• I’ve been doing loads of healing on my Shaman. Several heroics, and even a Naxx-10 and OS-25.
• Graphic glitches suck, especially on movement intensive fights. Namely Sarth. It is impossible to dodge flame walls when they pop in and out of existence.
• See previous point for why I ALMOST completed OS-25 on my Shaman, after two wipes I bowed out so they could find another healer. No point in continuing if I was just going to die right away.
• I’m starting to play the AH some. Mostly trying to make money off the professions I have already dropped a ton in to level. I’ve made a little profit so far, but nothing to brag about.
• I think I have settled on my Paladin to level next. Now I just need to decide if he will be an Inscriptionist or Alchemist. Both offer potential AH profit, but Alchemy would probably be more useful to me.

Well, my mind is dry-heaving now so I better stop. What’s your mind spewing?

This weekend saw my first serious foray into Naxxramas. And it was a blast. Bosses were downed, loot was had, and meters were topped.

Friday night the guild went into 25-man Naxx. This was my first trip into Naxx on Heroic, so needless to say, I was a little nervous. My biggest concern was that I would end up being carried through by my guild. But that turned out not to be the case. It came as a huge surprise to me when I ended up topping the meters on the first boss of the Arachnid Quarter. The rest of the night was much of the same. We cleared the Arachnid and Plague Quarters, one shotting most bosses. The one fight I was looking forward to was Heigan the Unclean. I have read a lot about the fight on other blogs I follow, but this was the first time I ever experienced it myself. I am proud to say that I danced the dance and stayed alive the whole fight.

Saturday, we put together a few groups for 10-man Naxx. The group I was in ended up clearing the Arachnid, Plague, and Construct Quarters in a little over 4 hours. This was only my second trip into 10-man Naxx, so I had some of the same worries as before, but I was comforted by my experience in Naxx the previous night. The run was outstanding in my eyes. We one shot most bosses. And much to my pleasure, my damage meter showed me to be be in the top 3 DPS on almost every boss fight.

Then on Sunday we cleared out both 10 and 25-man versions of VoA and OS. I have already both of those several times, so nothing special there.

I can’t wait for the weekend to roll around so that I can step back into Naxx. Though this time I plan to save my combat log so I can upload it to WWS (or WMO, heard good things about it) since it is more accurate than an in-game addon.
