I’m more powerful now

Time to update my WoW scenario.  About 10 weeks ago, I made a post about playing a horde druid. At the time I was level 70 and I’d been levelling my arse off to get to 80. Well, I finally made it, and then seeking to improve my character and play with a larger group of folks / meet some new friends etc.. Kim, Ben, Oui and I went to play with a guild called “ten”, who amazingly didn’t mind us coming along on their Friday night runs.

So far it’s been fun, though they are less organised / structured than our previous guild.  There are the usual couple of attention-seeking, high maintenance young American teenagers, and the odd grumpy bogan Aussie misanthrope who throws foul language around to ward off possible impending niceness. Somehow it all works and it’s a fun group capably led by just two remarkably patient men in their 30’s/40’s. Last night, we did four wings of 25 man Naxxramas to the light background music of Queen, Cold Chisel, Hot Chocolate, Credence, The Trashmen and Jeffferson Airplane. When a Kiwi piped up and suggested perhaps some Dr. Hook might be good, he was howled down for his bad taste. Lots of fun. Our music selection came from the Itunes of the anonymous “Outlawed DJ” through his Ventrilo mike. It was awesome.

I’m really happy with seeing my character improve, and finally not be the lowest in the groups I’m in. Here was my dps for Patchwerk last night. 4030 last week, 3600 the week before.

I picked up two pieces of tier gear and am starting to have a nice little set of gear now, though I have yet to try the Malygos fight yet. Here are my updated screenshots.

Since joining my new guild, I’ve been able to play pure dps as there seem to be a ton of tanks, so I have forgone most of my tanking talents except for Survival of the Fittest, so my bear stats look poorly. Look at that terrible dodge! Thankfully my cat is very nasty and lethal as a result.

Final comment? If you are a feral dps you MUST install the FaceMauler mod. It upped my dps by 450 last week. Even if it is cheating a bit.
