I’m not going to lie, I’ve been avoiding this post. At first it was because I told myself “I want practical experience with symbiosis before writing about it”, but even as I sit here today I’m trying to think of other things I can do to avoid talking about the big pink elephant in the room [...]

Error 37? Eh, I’ve Got Your Customer Service Right Here! 8 comments
I was in the middle of working on a post about Symbiosis when I came across some information regarding Diablo III that was so awesome that I had to stop and share. While everyone in the world has been battling full servers, error 37 and a myriad of other Diablo III launch issues, I wanted to take a [...]
Shado-pan Monastery and Mogu’Shan Palace, Druid Style Leave a comment
I had time over the weekend to run the two new instances on the beta. I was level 87 when I did them, and was 100% in the Cataclysm gear that I transferred Beru onto the beta wearing (appx. 405 iLevel, 2700 spirit). As long as I was smart about healing my mana felt fine. [...]
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Wyrmrest Temple 5 comments
At some point the weekend before last, I got a bee in my bonnet to level another character on the live server. For whatever reason, rather than leveling my priest which was my original intent (some how I have five healers at 85, and the priest just can’t seem to make it into the line to [...]
Fixing the Forest, Part III: Level 90 Druid Talents – A Resto Perspective 23 comments
Apparently while I was somewhere over the Rocky Mountains yesterday, Blizzard made a change to the level 90 druid talents. I think that it is safe to say the it was pretty unanimously agreed upon that a change was needed, as the old talents were very lackluster and didn’t really offer any dynamic decisions. Druids [...]
Stormstout Brewery, Druid Style Leave a comment
I had a little bit of time today, so I decided that I’d run Stormstout Brewery. It was the first instance I’d done since hitting 86, and I wanted to get a feel for how my mana held up and if healing felt any different, or more strained. Ultimately, my mana was fine. I was [...]
Off Topic: Celebration 5 comments
I am a little distracted this week, so if I seem off or inattentive I apologize in advace. There are a few reasons for this, but I think the largest of them is that I am making a surprise visit home over the weekend. I haven’t been home for probably over six years, so this in [...]
Life Lessons from Lewis Carroll 6 comments
This may well be the brain dumpiest brain dump that I’ve ever done. Honestly, it’s really more of a stream of conscious, need to get it out of my head, thing than anything I’ve likely ever written before. As such, if you don’t really care about what the bats in my belfry are saying to one [...]
A Picture and A Thousand Words 5 comments
Ok, this post likely isn’t going to have one thousand words, but it does have a picture! At some point after they opened level to 87, my resolve not to level and to just wait for level 90 pre-mades eroded. I blame wanting to play around with Symbiosis. Anyhow, resolve gone. So Brade and I have been putzing [...]
Temple of the Jade Serpent, Druid Style 9 comments
I had some time this weekend to fraps the four bosses in the first instance in the beta, Temple of the Jade Serpent. At level 85, I’ve yet to have any mana problems, but will touch back on this subject when I hit 86. I haven’t reforged back any spirit, and I’m still sitting at [...]
