Not a real post

In completely non-WoW related news, Feedburner decided to move my account to Google, meaning the feed link was changed. The old one should still work (redirect to the new link), but it could just as well stop at any time. If you have any problems, feel free to hit the updated link on the right.

Might as well blab a bit about last night too, just so you can't say this post is completely unrelated. Did some more running around Northrend on AlierahDK*, and ran Oculus again (as DPS, though). The run went pretty smooth, but there was one thing that happened that I wonder what the "proper" way to handle was... As I said, I wasn't tanking, although I offered to. Instead we had a Pally tank. We down the final boss, and a nice tanking ring drops which both me and the tank want. Now, if I were DPS-specced, it could have been argued that I shouldn't Need it since it's for an off-spec. If I were tanking, there wouldn't be any question - of course I could Need it. But what happens when it is for my spec but it isn't what I actually did in that run? In case you're wondering I ended up passing on it, since it wasn't such a big upgrade over my current tanking rings, but it's still an interesting question.

Also, when I mentioned the other day that I ran Utgarde Pinnacle, I must have been on something, because apparently I haven't been there yet. I did try to run it last night, but it seems like no one wants to go there, for some reason. I even called it Utgarde Pineapple to try and lure all the hungry people lurking on the LFG channel, but it didn't work. Maybe I should offer cookies.





* If I'm going to be playing both of them for a while I'll need some way to tell them apart, so from now on we have AlierahDK and AlierahP.

Now what?

I don't know if it's related to not posting for a while, being busy, or what, but I'm having a really hard time finding things to post about. Well, that's not entirely true - I have lots of ideas, but they all seem too small to justify a post all by themselves. Thing is, with Christmas and New Year's, over the next couple of weeks I've got a vacation in Guam (sun and sea, yay!), a ski trip (snow and ski, yay!) and probably a business trip to China, so that means that even though things at work are finally getting less stressed, I still won't have time for anything. BUT... I'm going to go ahead and make myself post about stuff, even if it is only so I can say I posted something and try to get over it. You have my apologies for all the half-baked boring posts that will probably follow.

So why not start my "half-posts" with what happened over the weekend? My DK dinged 70 in Nagrand and went on to clear Blade's Edge. I must say playing an OP class is a lot of fun - there's hardly anyone else out there except for me, but since I can pretty much solo every quest* without help that's not a problem. I'll probably do Area 52 and Shadowmoon Valley too before going out to Northrend since I haven't quested in either of them, so it should be fun. I did get a chance to go to Northrend, though - I hopped on a boat at 68 to go train my trade skills. Can't say I had a chance to actually enjoy the place, though. I'll do that when I finish with Outland.



* OK, so I didn't try Durn... And I had a group for the Ring of Blood. There's a limit to even what a Death Knight can do. I think.
