Shaman Healing

Finally got my lovely shaman to level 60, so I've reached the Outlands part of the game. Got myself Dual-Specialisations, so now I've got the enhancement and restoration trees covered. I do have 1 problem though...

I am not confident in my healing ability!

So I need your help. Know any good blogs about shaman healing, or just a few pointers of your own?? Please, please, please, please, please (I'm not begging, honest!) help me out. There are so many dungeons and good healers are a rarity. Bad healers, on the other hand, are a dime a dozen. Don't want to be one of those bad healers, oh no!

So Hellfire Ramparts and beyond await my healing expertise. Where do you suggest I get the advice I need??

Days and days of pain!

That's right. Days and days of it. Not my pain though. Animated pain. Assassination target pain. But it's good pain. Soul cleansing pain.

Yeah, I've been lost in the eyes of a beautiful game since Thursday night and it has been heavenly bliss. (I bet I'll get slapped for that, but it's worth it!) I was a fan of Assassins Creed 1 but AC2 has exceeded my expectations over and over again.

My favourite part so far, other than the assorted killings - both main plot and secondary - has been the not-so-subtle reference placed in the game for nerds everywhere. Uncle "It's-a me, Mario!" gave me a good laugh and when you can go down the well (think giant pipe) next to Mario's house to find treasure, that just sealed the deal.

If you want a walkthrough, you'll have to look elsewhere, but I can assure you that there are many, many, many sites and videos that show you exactly where to go and how to get there with the minimum fuss.

That's it from me for now. People to kill, chests to be looted, Codex pages to be discovered and deciphered... the work of an Assassin is never done.

It's coming!!!

Assassin's Creed 2, 3 days to go. 10 hour shift on the day of release...

What did I do for Karma to smack me about this way?

On a happier note, I got the 50 mount achievement on my Death Knight in World of Warcraft last week, so I received the fantastical Albino Drake. To get to the 50 I picked up the Sunreaver Dragonhawk, so now I have 2 pretty looking mounts to zoom around on. Not faster than the others by any stretch of the imagination, but much nicer to look at. Now if I could only get my A into G and grind that Netherwing rep I'll have another mount... one I doubt many DK's have.

The Miserly Horseman

The 2 week holiday of All Hallows Eve in WoW has ended and the Horseman is well and truly dead... till next year anyway. My problem with the Horseman stems from the fact that I had a plan in mind and he didn't stick to it.

I had a solid group of guildies with me for the duration of the holiday, so every night we went into the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard and summoned the delirious Horseman time and time again. With at least 7 lvl 80's to call on, we figured we had a good chance at getting the Horseman's Mount. Well, we didn't. We didn't have any chances at all, because it just wouldn't drop! The different rings the Horseman holds dropped plenty of times. The Helm dropped a few times (although it didn't drop for one of the guilds up and coming alts. Next year Barbarian, next year.) and I got it on 2 different toons, but I was really after that mount. Looks like I need 3 more still for the 50 mounts achievement. Back to the Champions Seal Grind!
