Look at that corpse right there. Do you know who that is? Arch Druid Staghelm, most arrogant, nasty, rude, ignorant, level 10 baby druid abusing jerk on Azeroth. And he is DEAD! That’s right, DEAD. I’ve waited six long years to kill that bastard after the way he treated my druid at level 10 on her bear form quest, and the way he talked about Tyrande. You’ll see Kae from Shades of Kae standing there, and that Pally down there tickling Staghelm’s feet, or stealing his shoes would be our fearless raid leader Twice. It may not have been the druid that killed him, but it was one of the team.

My priest. Jesswyn. I don’t know how it happened, but I have completely fallen in love with the priest class. I know, I’ve played a priest, on and off, and even deleted her once, for the last four years. But I never fully enjoyed her, until I went full shadow. Then they screwed that spec up with crit and I deleted her. But Blizz restored her a year after. I recently just leveled her to 85. She hasn’t been used since she was horde side with The Purge. The last thing she raided was Naxx. Before that? Kara.

Now, I don’t know what happened. But it just clicks. I find boss strategies easier to pick up with her, I don’t get flustered as much with spell rotation when I have to move or stop casting. Maybe it’s because I’m not also trying to concentrate on HoT uptime and healthbars in an unfamiliar healing role like I ended up doing with Jessmyn the Druid after the resto changes? I don’t know. All I know is…the class I resented for so long, the toon that I had such bad memories of a former guild explosion with, is my main.  The guy that taught me how to heal as a priest, and how to start off as shadow, and listened to me gripe for all those years would be laughing his ass of at me right now. If he still played. Kinda miss that guySad smile

Since patch day, I’ve spent many hours in PvP to get her transmog set, and many more to get justice points and get her geared up a bit.  I’ve run the new heroics, and got to be with my guildies in learning the new raid encounters.  And we absolutely steamrolled Firelands. I forgot how much fun that is, even though by end time last night I was almost face to keyboard from a stupid cold.

So, Jess has decided she’d like a little more health. Ok. Alot more. She’s tired of being a one hit plunder. Well, PvP gear has alot of stam…nice healing bonuses and intellect. Why not? First priority? Bracers. I started off yesterday with 4200ish honor points. It’s AV weekend, so I jump in. Eight times. We won two. That’s ok, I get honor either way. I healed random allies, I mana burned casters. One seriously tried to wand me to death…their wand hit for 300 my renew ticks for 665…quite amusing *smite*. Holy priest vs balance druid was a nice long fight too. Roots? dispel! moonfire? dispel! The most amusing was the horde warrior that tried to kill my Spirit of Redemption. I am already dead, I’m floating as an angel due to that fact!

That’s where the funnies ended. After my 8th trip, I decided to quit. I had accumulated an estimated 3,419 honor. I thought that was pretty good!! Until it rolled over, and I only got 1,309!?!?!?! WTF may I ask?? I understand theres a difference between estimated and actual but that’s a pretty hefty jump! I’m a little disheartened about getting the three veterans pieces I want right now. By the time I have that much honor apparently, I’ll probably have enough heroic badges! Oh..wait, that’s why I’m doing BG. So I can survive in heroic Slave Pens instead of dropping dead when a danged mob looks at me. If someone knows what caused such a huge difference between estimated and actual, please comment. I’ve rarely done PvP…and I know I pretty much suck at it, but I’d be happy knowing. I did figure out to go in fully buffed and in my DPS gear so I can have more health.
