The Cauldron

35 pages was enough for the previous version of this thread. Please continue in this expansion to the original thread.

So here's what's been going on with me:

• I'm waiting for my Figureprint to be made and shipped.
• Uneventful Karazhan run last night.
• PTR 2.4 is interesting.  Lots of new daily quests. I got [Muckbreath's Bucket] the other day.
• Interesting post on how to read and comment upon WowWebStats.

lol, nice pun.

Well, I got a new trinket in kara. for mana regen and 48 int. Now in boss fights that last 5+ minutes I wont run out of mana till im out of mana pots lol.

ZA is goin OK. we need more geared 70's though cuz no one wants to do ZA. so we get stuck on the 2nd boss.

We got Aran for the first time tonight.  It took us a few times but we finally downed him.

I got [Boots of the Incorrupt] for my healing set.

Well, Mike and I were getting a bit bored of the usual guild drill (and drama) so we went and tried a PvP server. We had great hopes of a more dynamic atmosphere and lots of world raids... not so. Mostly it was just the odd opportunist kill, there was more world PvP back on our PvE server....

But I got my toon to level 20 with an impressive 32g... so we ended up transferring back to Aerie Peak. The toon is actually an Alli Shammy (I do love Shammy, it's such fun to play - and really underused on Alliance side,) called Absolutte. It's official, I am an alt-oholic!

She's currently level 29 and getting lots of Darnassus rep so she can ride a Sabre rather than a silly Elekk. We had a fun run through Gnomer and SM which got me heaps of blues I cant wear yet. Not sure what long term plans are, but it's nice to be away from the guild drama and play for fun for a bit.

Stephenn finally got his Primal Mights together and a guildie made him some [Battlecast Pants]. I added a Runed Living Ruby, a Glowing Nightseye, and a Runic Spellthread.  So they have +35 Spell Dmg, +20 Sta,  +9 Spell Dmg, +5 Spell Dmg and +6 Sta.

Grand Totals

156 Armor
+68 STA
+27 INT
+95 Spell Damage
+3 Spell Crit

wow! those are very nice pants! Im almost all epic'd right now. I just need my boots from kara (or badges) and my T4 shoulders from high king maulgar.

I went with a guild to TK They Eye the other day. We cleared to the first boss easy. But a healer and 2 dps left, and no one else wanted to go so we could continue. it was a bummer but TK was pretty awsome.

Here's what Stephenn looks like these days. I added Robe of the Crimson Order the other day and that almost puts my +spell hit at the cap (77 for shadow priests).  Only 4 points to go and I'll be at the cap. w00t!  I'm looking for a Cloak of Entropy to top it off.  Then I'm saving badges for the Studious Wraps unless my T-4 glove token drops off Curator.  It dropped a week ago but I lost the roll.

You look like a human version of what I used to look like!!!! I had those robes, still have those shoulders (not for long though) and I had that staff for the longest time! lol. not impressing me with all these blues.

Well it's all good because I wasn't trying to impress you.  Dont believe the hype about purples vs blues. SP's need different stats than a lot of classes and for us some blues have better stats than the available purples. For instance Spell Crit isn't desirable at all for us (In PvE that is).  It's a balancing act. I'm always near the top of the threat meter. In fact I usually have to tone down the dps so the tank can maintain aggro. If I crit I steal aggro from the tank and the boss is on me. Priests dont tank well.

The staff is going away soon.  I got a nice new [Starlight Dagger] in Heroic Slave Pens last night.  After putting Major Spellpower on it and Getting [Orb of the Soul Eater] for my off hand, it'll be much better than the staff alone.  I'll trade a little Int for +spell hit and no Spell Crit and I'll be hit capped.  w00t! But then I'll have to put off getting the gloves that I want.

Now with the changes coming in 2.4 I need to look at what PvP gear might fit in well.  When that comes out we'll be able to buy old PvP gear with Badges and Armor tokens.

Lots of purples are better for me. I occasionally find a blue thats better, but I do a lot of damage how I am right now. Do you buy badge items? They are pretty good.

Yes, a good portion of the stuff I've been mentioning over the last few weeks are from badges.  The Carved Witch Doctor's Stick, Orb of the Soul Eater, and Studious Wraps, are recent mentions.  G'eras doesn't have many items that work great for Shadow Priests.  A few, but not many.

MaxDPS.com is pretty cool.  It gives you a list of all of the gear upgrades in order of usefulness, sort of like the armory does, but with more information like where you can get it. etc. Plus it's a lot faster.

Gear for Shadow Priests

That would be nifty if I was playing one of my 70's at the moment. It'll be handy if I choose Absolutte as a main, at the moment I am gearing her from instances that Mike and I have been soloing - it's awesome... I always win the rolls. We did a quick run through ZF with my level 37 and his 66 feral dr00d last night and it was super easy. I couldn't hit much so I just waited behind and threw the odd heal to Mike.

I'm collecting the Blessings deck now. All I need are the Ace and 7 and I'll have the whole deck.  Hopefully before the next Darkmoon Fair.

For this week I have specced feral just to play around. My dps has dropped a lot but its still fun in battle grounds.

Still looking for the ace of portals. I wish I could solo scholomance...

What? No Trees?

I got the 7, just need the Ace now.  It was going for 700 gold on the AH.  But someone bought it.

Avatar by me.

lol, I changed back. I did a heroic with some people and my dps was below the tank. I got them another dps and left cuz I was doing horrible, and in battlegrounds I kept trying to use my trees, only to find they werent there.

But im glad to be balance again. <3 Moonkin

I was so broke after getting the Ace that I had to go fishing to earn some gold.  Guess what I caught?

Now I have to wait until the 10th to turn the deck in and get the card trinket.

Mr.Pinchy!! Grats!

We did gruuls last night. I got my T4 shoulders and we kept on going. We got gruuls to 10% and our tanks were dead and healers got pwned. with the remaining 12 dps we got him to 1% and wiped.

Ok check this out (on my blog)
