Couple of new blogs to follow!

OutDPS.com and BigHitBox.com both seem to have a lot of good info on them, so I'm adding them to the Blogroll.

Lots of changes since last I posted!

Still got those same damn trinkets, but I'm rocking all sorts of new gear. I'm dual-spec'd to Prot/Ret, got some T8.5 Legs for both specs and even had the time to get myself a shammie to 80: Sansai

Hopefully everything is going well for everyone out there in Azeroth. We're about to see the 3.2 PTR come up, so it should be an interesting time again testing out new builds and the like, and even Tier 9 bonuses!

For more 3.2 info, head on over to MMO Champion.

Naxx Speaks!

Apparently it wanted me to have some gear from the construct wing, jeez!

Sand-Worn Band
Hero's Surrender
Chestguard of the Exhausted

And then we had some troubles on Gluth.... Damn Dawg! :)

In other news, we've gotten a few new members lately and if we can get them geared, we might actually be able to do Naxx10 at some point here....

Yay, almost epic'd out!

Now I just need some trinkets, and I'll be epic'd out again! :)

Got myself some Bracers of Dalaran's Parapets, Inexorable Sabatons and Ancient Aligned Girdle this week, so I'm set but for all of the upper tier raiding equipment.

Heather got some very nice Leggings of Failed Escape this week as well, so we're doin' pretty good in the loot department! :)

As for the PTR, I just can't seem to bring myself to spend time on there without people I know. If everyone in the guild was going to go to learn new content, that would be one thing. But since we're still working on levelling alts and recruiting, it's a secondary, far off thing...

Regardless, I'm glad to see that MMO-Champion keeps updating the talent calculator! Very helpful to see some of the different tree changes and how they affect the greater picture.

What is all this hubbub over 3.1? Seriously!

I mean, come on, we know that how things start on the PTR is very rarely how they end with regards to the freakin' talent trees and spells we're all looking at.

CALM DOWN, FOLKS! :)

Paladin-wise, I'm pretty cool with what we've seen so far and the talent trees obviously need a little work, but I'm really glad they put the prot tree on a diet. I'll be able to do something like 0/54/16 soon instead of having to dump so many points into the tree. It'll be nice to have some freedom.

Re: Dual-specs
I really honestly can't wait to be able to transform with a 5 second cast and a gear switch from a buff pally tank to a Holy pally healer. It'll definitely be great for our guild (as I know how to heal, I just really don't like spending the money to bounce back and forth) and for the state of the game in general, as I've definitely heard a lot of "TOO MANY TANKS" and there's always tons of DPS out there... :)

Maxed Professions!

450 Enchanting, 455 Jewelcrafting!

Nakama's Knicknacks is now open for business on Blackhand, biy0tches! :)

I even blew the Abyss Crystals to get the 40 Stamina to Bracer enchant. Whew!

--Jed

Apparently keeping the same legs is for the birds!

Yeesh, I go through plate legs like a new baby through diapers.

Did Obsidian Sanctum 25 today and got....

Dragon Brood Legguards!

Now if only I could be so lucky with some bracers, a belt and a freakin' chestpiece! :)

Developing Alt-itis developments:
Oubai is up to 26 and lookin' good. I very much love hunters and read BigRedKitty just about every day, both for information for my wife's character as well as entertainment value! :) I just need some extra time to work on her engineering and tailoring.

Keiei is finally somewhat re-outfitted after his harrowing server transfer and I can hopefully get done with Stranglethorn Vale in fairly short order, get to 40 (currently he's 36) and get him on the way to the Plaguelands, then Outlands, then Northrend! :)

In guild news:
We've got our forum up and running, our own 25 man Ventrilo server set up and a 4 tab guild bank going. Now we just need to freakin' do some recruiting! :)
