It’s about time the most recent post on my blog not be about doom, gloom and rants. And it’s because I’ve been grinning like a kid in a candy store over the weekend! 🙂
In my last post I mentioned that I’d applied to a hordeside guild and raid team. The update since then is that I did all the homework I could so it wouldn’t turn out like my experience three months ago. I listened in on a raid in mumble, asked a zillion questions and provided logs to make sure I was the healer they wanted. I liked what I heard – it had me laughing the entire time, and that’s always a good sign. Long story short, they picked me and a hop, skip, jump later there I was healing again.
I was a little nervous ofcourse – the first time stepping into a real raid in the last three months and it turns that the first boss I’ll be dealing with is a heroic one! I crammed the best I could over the weekend to catch up in strats and such, hoped to high heavens that I wouldn’t blow up the raid too often. Needless to say it’s been a very fun weekend of raiding for me. The team is fantastic and I’m still grinning even when we wipe.
And last night, I got something in the mail that I simply couldn’t stop grinning about!
Finding a team that cares about you and invests in a player seems to be a rarity nowadays. And I was overwhelmed when I was given these awesome boots to replace my raid finder ones. The last time something like this happened was during my happy raiding days in Cataclysm on my druid.
I think I’ve found the right team with cool people, who seem to have the right balance between progression and fun. 🙂
Stay tuned as I catch up on my healing perspective posts!
I’m happy for you. Keep us up to date. It sounds like a good match.
Thanks 🙂
Also, holy crap I JUST posted it – how did you see it so soon lol!
I *might* be subscribed to your blog, and I *might* get push notifications to my phone for emails… maybe.
Derp. Yeah I totally knew that. Totally!
*quietly googles push notifications to phone for email*
Woot! That’s wonderful…
🙂
SHEWZ.
I figure if I keep talking up goblins, you’ll racechange to one eventually.
But you know why I couldn’t go goblin!! The green skin clashes with mah FASHUNS! 😀
Says the person with purple people in her header. You get used to green! They’re both cool colors.
LOL. Well you know, I have this horde shaman I brought over to the server. And she’s a panda (of all races). I admit I gave in to the double rested experience just so I’d have a realistic shot of getting her to 90.
Maybe sometime in the future I’ll racechange her to goblin because I love their totems so much. But after just coughing up for my priest, I’m feeling kinda cheap atm 😛
Grats. That’s a lovely gesture and says so much about them. Glad you’ve found the right guild even if they are Horde and thus not filled with Gnomes.
Thanks. I will always be a gnome at heart. Sometimes in my head I RP Lilien’s latest contraption – a live walking talking blood elf – to help with the transition. 🙂
It’s obviously a mechanical suit of some kind!
Saya I am so happy you found a good place! I had been sad for you but now… You’re horde and happy!
Heroics zomg… I will have to ask you for advice!
Thanks Navi! I’ll be trying out your Durumu tips this weekend. Swapping healing tips is always awesome 🙂
Grats on ur new raid team!
Glad you found a good match and are having fun 🙂
Thanks! I’m hoping it all works out! 🙂
