Damage

At times, when I am not healing with Elewë in instances, I step in to dps. El has a set of gear, and a talent specialization she can switch to, which allows her to turn into a moonkin, a sort of giant, antlered, owl-like creature. In this form she has access to special abilities and her damage spells become more powerful.



To demonstrate what it looks like when a few kinds of dps fight a target, I took three characters to the target dummies in the Alliance city of Stormwind. The characters here would use these abilities in instances, or out in the world on hostile beings.

Elewë, as a moonkin:




Luinil, as an elemental shaman:




Epicharis, as a destruction warlock:



As you can see, I favor caster-dps. XP

Turtle boats and WoW chores

Yesterday I worked and then had to prepare for a raid at night, so I didn't have time to post. Saturdays will be a no-post day, most likely.

I have good news though! Our guild has been working so hard to "down" a very difficult boss named Sindragosa, and last night we were finally successful. So, three cheers for my teammates!! Afterward, we spent some time on the Lich King, who is the end boss in the most difficult, and last, full raid dungeon of this expansion. We have phase one down fairly well, which is nice, but there is a lot to work on. More on that another time.

Earlier today I worked at the bookstore, and when I got home I couldn't really think of a post. So, you guys get to see me do some WoW chores. I made them interesting though. XD yay!

First, I took a turtle boat to Borean Tundra. heee



Then, I did a "daily"(repeatable quest, which can only be done once a day) for the Kalu'ak. Dailies are a decent way to earn gold.



After that, I did a bunch of fishing. The "Pandaren" monk pet you see isn't part of Borean Tundra, he's a "vanity pet" I can summon whenever I like. He practices kung fu when he gets bored. XD

Grizzly Hills

It's another work-day post today. :P Grizzly Hills is a zone in Northrend, and the best place to fish up salmon. That's why the bears love fishing here too. :) Have a great Thursday everyone!

My Main

In WoW, most players have a character they designate as their "main". A main is the character you might raid the most with, spend the most money on, or maybe it is the highest level character you currently have. While the reasons for referring to a specific character as "main" will differ, it generally indicates that you make this character a priority in the game.

My main is Elewë, a female, Night Elf Druid. Druids, in World of Warcraft, are people in tune with nature, and their bonds with it allow them to draw from it's power to aid themselves or others. They are masters of shape-shifting, and can, with the appropriate form and talent specialization, play any role in the game. They can tank as a bear, melee dps as a cat, cast spells to dps as a moonkin, or heal others in their tree of life form.

Out of all the classes I have played, and roles I have tried, I find I am at my best, and have the most fun when I am healing with Elewë. :)

Elewë

This character is Elewë, my "main", and here she is in Borean Tundra, on her blue proto drake.

El will be the subject of my next post. :)
