Druid has made 85. Thanks to my lovely husband who gave me bonus WoW time this week. =D

But level 85 doesn’t mean I know how to heal yet. Much practice is still in need.

With the mana shortage and extra hitpoints, the healing game has changed. I’m just not used to the vast amount of manage management that is now required.

It was suggested to me to go practice in pvp battles, which I have found to be a great way to get a wide range of healing situations presented in quite a short amount of time. Certainly important to stay on ones toes.

The real bonus here is that if I’m healing I dont have to participate in any of the actual pvp stuff. Win win in my book. =D

Well its been a pitiful January thus far. The end here is punctuated with a stomach flu making its way around the house.

Its been fun!! Yeah, I am hoping that after recovery, inspiration will kick in again. But then a whole week of feeling like ass has left me dubious about wanting to do anything besides sleep ever again.

My husband has managed to guilt me into leveling my druid to 85 (in WoW) with his call for guild healing. I was leveling her anyway because I want to get the all classes at 85 guild achievement, but now I am going to have to actually heal. I have no idea how to heal as a druid since they changed everything, plus my head is all fuzzy (being sick and all) that everything I read about it so far hasn’t been making much sense. Sleeping is helping to keep my panic over healing at bay. =D

Anyway, I hope everyone is getting through flu season a little more unscathed then all of us here at the plague house.

Although I have tried a wide range of characters in World of Warcraft, I have not played a healer since beta. Strangely enough the two characters that I have leveled past fifty are both ranged DPS with pets (Hunter and Warlock). Clearly it was time to branch out!

The not playing a healer thing had a few different reasons, the most prominent being: (1) the changes to priests in beta broke my heart and I refused to play one ever again! and (2) my husband plays a holy priest as his main (making reason one very easy to uphold!). Since I enjoy playing WoW with my husband, playing another healer has seemed rather superfluous.

But recently the mood has changed around here. Husband of mine seems to want a bit of a healing break. Maybe he was jealous of my leet deeps, or he was feeling the urge to stray, whatever the case, he is happy to alt it up with me. So he is tanking while I am healing in our awesome druid duo. (Getting pick up groups has been a breeze!!)
