IT'S NOT A DRESS..... IT'S A KILT!!!

So I was out questing with my buddies Koreth and Seidhkona the other day when we got the great idea to go into Ramparts. Seid and I had the quests in there to work on so off we headed...

In this group I have a funny spot to fill. At the time my druid was a nearly full Feral Spec, with limited talents in Restoration (just enough to get omen of clarity) However, whenever the three of us got together, I always ended up being the healer. In no way, shape or form am I complaining about my lot in the group, but I wasn't very good at it when I started. After reading some other blogs, most of all BigButtBear and Resto4life, I realized that I needed to start to collect a set of "healing" clothes. So off to the AH I ran...

/drop huge amounts of gold on new items
/lament loss of gold

So after a day or two of perusing the AH I found some pretty good stuff (in my opinion) I was now ready to be, as Koreth puts it, a true Healing "B" (insert own comments there) So I show up to heal in this outfit (see pic) and Seid says "Wow.. really taking the healing to heart, you showed up in a Dress!" Usually I have no problem with comments from these guys, but a dress? This got my Scottish blood a boiling... and I answered like any self respecting Scot would.

"IT"S NOT A DRESS... IT"S A KILT" Without even realizing what I was saying (jokingly), I was actually right on this one... I was wearing a kilt. Who knew? Needless to say gear was only part of the battle. It wasn’t until recently that I did a respec to resto/balance that healing has really taken off for me. Now I get the chance to wear the kilt all the time, not to mention my healing pimp hat… whats not to like about that…

I am still new to the healing game play and gear, but I am having a blast now learning all these new things, and occasionally stealthing in cat form to do some damage!

Milestone... I think

So last night I broke a personal record in any battle ground... I broke 100k healing!!! I don't know that this is necessarily a good thing that the Alliance needed over 100k in healing during the BG, but I am up to the challenge. This actually was one of the longer BGs that I have done as of late...may have been the longest AV I've ever done! Regardless, I do take some small amount of pleasure that I was able to do this, especially since I just recently changed specs to become a healer. Not bad for someone who has never really done it before!

But even as my pride hat is being worn, I know that there is a big slice of humble pie waiting for me still in the game. (uummm pie...) I have yet to experience any of the big raids in the game, well I guess even the smalls I haven't really gotten to. That is what I love about WoW... there is so much that one can do that the possibilities are endless, or at least seem that way. For example, I just recently joined a small guild on our PvP server. Know I don't know if and when this guild might become a raiding guild, or if we will even get enough members to do so. But if not, I have two buddies that play and we are going to form a 3v3 arena team. And if that didn't pan out I can always just hit the BGs or maybe even try to PUG an instance or two (not the mode of choice I hear) My point is that Wow really does have something to offer no matter what type of gameplay you are looking for. And I haven't even tried an RP server...
