Back with no Plan

Yes indeed, I’m back in the game. Let’s start with some off topic stuff first:

Paris was great fun, even if the weather wasn’t fantastic. We went to some decent concerts, fantastic restaurants and of course I joined Mrs. drug on her shopping tours until my feet were bleeding. Back in Switzerland I started my new “job” which is one of the reasons why I didn’t write a post earlier. Actually it’s not really a job but rather doing some experiments which will lead to my dissertation which leads to a good looking title I can put in front of my name. I’m not sure yet if it was the right decision to start my work at the place I am. I could have done a smaller thesis during university but I just never could motivate myself to do it. I could have done a small thesis now and try to earn some money at the same time, but surely the end result would have been much less scientific to what I’m doing now, which is a 4-5 month project in a laboratory.

But that’s not the only reason why I couldn’t get myself to write a post earlier. And yes we can finally talk about WoW again now. The other reason was, that at this point, some weeks or months before Ulduar, I find it not that easy to write a solid post with crucial information for resto shamans every 1-2 days. I have some ideas and drafts in the pipeline, but not that much so please do tell my what you want to know.

In game I missed the first night of raiding, so Sartharion and Archavon were down and Naxxramas clear. This left me with a night of Malygos, where we tried the 6 minute achievement. Very enjoyable night, many tries with a good learning curve and very different from the chain killing of bosses in Naxxramas. On our best try we missed the achievement with only +3 seconds to the achievement timer. We couldn’t do full 4 hours of tries, because if you don’t stop at around 8% of Malygos health he will die anyways.

A nice guy from our guild organized our first Naxxramas25 alt raid. Very cool as well, even if I brought my shaman along, which is a little bit annoying if you don’t need any items and outgear the rest of the raid. But healers were more needed than my alt tank and I had no raid ID on the shaman. And after all it’s not that easy to put together a half guild alts half random Naxxramas PuG, so I healed. We had 5h30 min until Kel was down which is ok.

Plans I have for the next weeks:

• Get some elemental gear and reach the hit cap
• Get more tanking gear for my tank alt
• Start farming for Ulduar
• Maybe continue one of my alts

What I won’t do:

• Achievements
• Arena
• Battlegrounds

And now my mouth hurts but two wisdom teeth are gone, yay.
