Last week I wrote a post looking at the lower spire of Ice Crown Citadel from the perspective of a holy priest who occasionally likes to be discipline. Now, because I promised, here are some tricks and tidbits I’ve picked up while healing on Sairyn and Fluffikins. Again, if there are any other tricks you [...]
The Priest and the Lower Spire
Posted by: Eda on: February 19, 2010
By now, all my healers except poor little Nesme have seen the Lower Spire of Ice Crown Citadel (don’t feel too bad for her, though, since she did just get Quel’Delar). I think it attests to the ability of Blizzard to create a raid where I’m not snoozing until I get to the last half [...]
Not Which, But When
Posted by: Eda on: February 4, 2010
A few days ago, Professor Beej posted a guest post at World of Matticus asking readers which of the healing classes they chose, and why they felt it was the right match for them. The answers were insightful, and got me thinking. Do I feel like any of my healers suite me better than others? [...]

Fried brain is fried. I had my weekly meeting boss encounter this week, and let’s just say we barely escaped the enrage timer. I wanted to pick my brain (and maybe yours) about whether or not socket bonuses are worth gemming for (mostly in regards to my pally). But, that kind of thing requires supreme [...]

I am not the best healer. That little sentence doesn’t bother me. It never has. used to. But not anymore (and I think I’m a better friend for it =D) I am not the best healer I could be. Oh, now that sentence? Hmm. Well, it’s honest. But gosh how I wish it weren’t. When [...]

Who’s ready for a science lesson?!? *pauses* I said, who’s ready for a science lesson?! *crickets* Well, since it’s my blog, you’re going to get one anyways! HA! See how I tricked you there? When humans are under stressful, threatening, or incredibly exciting conditions, we tend to respond with a basic “fight or flight” instinct. [...]
What are your ticks? (Part II)

Last post, I started postulating about the idiosyncrasies we imbue in our characters. I barely scratched the surface of the physical when I started realizing that maybe, just maybe, I should separate the physical habits from the mental ones. Not that I believe they’re separate entities; they are very much connected. I just thought it [...]

While battling the Midweek Meeting Boss (fyi: we came thisclose to wiping), I noticed something very interesting about our Snottidin-esque raid member: every time she was making excuses for her (lack of) performance, she completely closes her eyes. It’s like adverting her gaze to the extreme. Because all I really do in this weekly encounter [...]
Hammer of….Whatever.

<Drum Roll Please> May I present, Nesme, level 80 Holidin! Healadin? Shockadin, or am I just dating myself now? The last few weeks, Nesme has diligently pushed her way through Northrend (and remembering why it’s so awesome to be a paladin in a land rife with undead), until finally dinging the big eight-oh late Saturday [...]
