Grats Horse, that's an awesome staff.
We got the spider boss down in Firelands tonight and I gots me a pretty new robe! Seriously the robe off her is so awesome looking, but it looks rather silly with the toilet bowl shoulders. Look at my priest's armory if you don't believe me. =x I also hit honored, so I got my belt, and I won the roll to decide who gets to collect the embers for the legendary staff, yay! Our raid leader did make the caveat that whoever goes first has to pass on any weapon upgrades until all the other casters have one. Although by that time, hopefully I will have already gotten the first stage of the staff. At the rate we're going (downing one boss a week so far), we should have Rag down in five more weeks, and after that it should be pretty quick to get the 25 embers.
Played around with Willow tonight too. I think I'm going to heal with her now, since I really don't find boomkin fun anymore. It's kind of difficult to enjoy playing something that you know you aren't good at. =x At least it is for me. I might give Boomkin another shot at some point though. It's ridiculous how easy it is to heal as a druid though. I remember it being easy before, during 4.1, I think it's even easier now, which is ridiculous. Although I will admit, I really don't understand the reasoning behind keeping LB up on the tank at all times. If he's low on health, wouldn't it make sense to let it bloom and then put them up again? Or is that considered inefficient? The only thing I miss over my priest's healing, is shields. I really do love shield healing.
