    Some folks have signed as tentative for the ICC trip I'm running on saturday, but it seems to be in need of tanks.

    so, tanks! sign up!
    I would, but it's scheduled to start at 5pm, which is 6am for me. I wee bit too early for my (Australian) Sunday to start unfortunately.

    It gives you four hours to sober up after 2am, which is more than enough to be ready to raid. I fail to see the problem here.

    Excellent work tonight, Beasts. Magmawr, Golems, Halfus and Double Dragons all one-shot (that 5% wipe on DD doesn't count). Onto progression tomorrow!

    Smooth night tonight. Cleared Halfus and Double Dragons, then went on to kill Magmaw and Omnitron in BWD. One-shot every boss except Drakes, which was a two shot.

    Maloriak and Atramedes tomorrow!

    In my case its unfortunately true since every time I missed a raid tended to be the times progression was made.

    Which I realized and reciprocated by under-performing in turn.

    I'm very curious about shaman healing, because Favin and Gev were at some points half of my healing output. I heard Resto was pretty weak, and had hoped 4.0.6 was fixing it. Maybe the Wild Growth buff is just OP, but my mana took a nasty hit this patch.

    Wild Mushrooms make Magmaw parasite AOEing so much easier. I'm seriously just thinking of taking Hurricane off the toolbar completely given how much it's been eclipsed.

    Pity we couldn't get Arks the achievement that the rest of us got a week ago as I managed to get a parasite onto me while trying to kill them off with Dibby.

    I am always bright green with envy with how much paladins and druids can pump out while barely denting their mana bar. It's quite possible that I just suck though.

    It might be a little different now with the mana nerfs, but Shaman healing still feels quite meager comparatively.

    I'm nearing enough valor points to buy a set piece on Favin. It feels like the guild still needs healers (I honestly wasn't expecting to get into raid tonight being five minutes late and having not signed up at all). I don't think I've used my elemental spec since that very first run that we ever tried on Omnitron. I enjoy healing, but it does suck to have to pick now with the set gear coming up.

    yeah, shamans just seem really behind in the area of mana efficiency compared to paladins (and maybe druids, but mostly paladins.)

    More than once I've been in baradin hold at 30% mana or something thinking "okay, gotta be a little bit careful the last third of his health" only to accidentally target the holy paladin and see him trucking along at 70% mana or something.

    they usually don't outheal me, but that's probably because that fight might as well have been designed for rain and chain heal.

    This patch has put druid mana in a pretty comparable spot with Shaman. Last week I didn't even use potions on Magmaw and just used tree to wrath spam. This week I had to use my concentration potion on the first head phase.

    I'm not ooming or anything, but I have to be on the ball with my regen trinket and innervate now. I'm not sure if I can even use Glyph of Innervate if there isn't another non-feral in the group.

    I honestly haven't kept up to date with all of the changes with 4.0.6, but in the healing department it seemed less improving Druid and Shamans and more balancing Paladins with the rest of the healers. If there are any Holydins that can confirm the changes this week. Not sure about Priests either.

    I dunno, my healing has gone up a good amount (pulled 13k on Halfus this week) mainly because Wild Growth doesn't suck balls anymore. I also specced into Genesis, which gave me 4% more hot healing.

    However, the nerf to clearcasting and toning down of the rejuv buff has really balanced the insane AoE healing I possess now.

    Man, the Worgen starting zone was awesome and tragic and had a real sense of heroism to it. You were fighting right next to the goddamn king, fee chrissakes.

    But yeah, our little alliance guild never even got off the ground. Not yet, at least.

    It is hard to feel bad when you are drunk. However, point taken. I shall cease and desist with my thread derailment.

    Have you guys decided on a time to hit up Ulduar for Rusted Proto-drakes? I know my 25-man was lackluster and I wasn't able to complete it, however the 10-man should be very doable and would be interesting to see the difference between hitting it now at level 85 than it was at level 80 but ICC geared.

    I plan on running one on saturday to get some rusty drake action. The week after I want to run naxx and get some more cheevos. Probably can 25man naxx depending on how many people show.
