my WoW misadventures

Panacea dinged level 50 last night. :D Not long til Outland!

Over the last few days I've taken her to ZF. The first group I was in was quite good and they let me dps. But we only ran the first couple of bosses, twice, because our tank wanted something off the first boss (which didn't drop). I was a little disappointed cos it was a pretty good group. The next group I joined looked like it was shaping up well until a 70 joined. I am trying to level up Panacea without any help from higher level characters, or being run through things, so this was annoying. But I stayed with the group because they needed the mallet and I was the only one with it (I got the mallet by myself. It's so much easier now that getting it doesn't involve killing elites :D). So although the run was very fast and I got a couple of quests out of the way, it didn't do much for my instance skills.

The last group I joined was pretty good. At first I thought I was going to have to heal, cos there was another priest in our group with higher shadow damage than me. But they went offline and didn't come back, so we had to get in another person, who happened to be a resto druid. :D The run went quite well, and I was always at the top of the dps charts, which made me happy. Our tank (and group leader) was a bit obsessive about the dps charts though and kept posting them and berating the lock in our group who kept coming last.. I felt sorry for her, cos it was obvious she was kinda new (she didn't know what AOE was, and we had to ask her to take her imp out for blood pact) and she was trying her best. The tank was also annoying because he never stopped to let us drink. The healer was almost constantly at below 30% mana.. if it had been me healing like that I would have yelled at him, as it was nobody said anything and just tried to drink whenever they could. I think the tank thought he was invincible or something - a couple of times when we were all sitting and drinking he'd run off and start aggroing the next group of mobs. Annoying. And then at the end, he asked if anyone needed Gahzrilla and when nobody said anything after like a second, he said "well I'm out" and ran out. We were all left standing there - we wanted to do the last boss. He told us we could do it if we wanted to.. er, without a tank? no thanks. Anyways, I got all my quests finished up, so no more ZF for me. :)

I wasn't quite sure where to go to quest after that (since I'm trying to avoid Tanaris/Ungoro). I went to Felwood to have a look around, but most of the quests were a little too high for me at level 49. Then I remembered Searing Gorge. :D I haven't been there since my very first toon, Jeski the hunter, who I played a few years ago and only ever got up to level 55. So I took Panacea over there and had lots of nostalgic fun.



I'm quite liking mind control now. :P I'm still getting used to it, but I think I should learn how to use it properly as it's my only form of CC. Instances are usually so fast paced and people forget that priests can mind control, so I'm not sure if I'll need to use it, but if I'm asked to use it it will be good to know how.

Panacea in ZF. I took this screenshot mainly to capture my chart topping dps, cos I was kinda chuffed about that :P


I found this quest I had never done before, in Feralas. It was a nice Neverending Story reference. ^_^
