Red is the New Blue!
It seems like only a few weeks ago that I was gleefully squeeing over my awesome new tier 6 shoulders! Oh, it kinda was. Ah well, as is the way of things I’m slowly starting to phase out my old gear and replace it with new shinies and, inevitably, the shoulders had to go. I’d be a little more sad if I wasn’t replacing them with t7.5 *ahem*
If it isn’t shoulders as wide as I am tall it’s shoulders as tall as I am wide!
That was going to be the end of this delighted-shiny-lookit-what-I-got post but then we went back to Naxx after I’d half written the post and, well… [Chains of Adoration], [Quivering Tunic], [Wraith Strike], [Atonement Greaves], [Legguards of the Undisturbed], and [Girdle of the Gambit] all in one night. I think I took something from almost every boss – despite asking the Paladins if they wanted anything even if it was mail but, no. I guess there’s some benefit to being the only resto shaman raiding at the moment…
Well, at least our guild now has a very nicely geared shaman. These, along with my new trinket ([The Egg of Mortal Essence]), have increased my stats rather a lot – from:
- Healing: 1545
- Mana: 15.9k
- Mp5: 358 (whilst casting)
- Haste: 137
- Crit: 20.55
to
- Healing: 1931
- Mana: 18.5k
- Mp5: 381 (whilst casting)
- Haste:288
- Crit: 22.39
Almost 400 +healing in one evening, not to mention a nice chunk of mana, crit and haste. I am a little wary of the haste, though, so I’m going to poke through my gear and see if I can sort out a haste heavy kit and a regen kit alongside a balanced one. Too much haste is pretty useless if not downright dangerous in some fights so I want to be able to make sure I control the amount I have. Oh and I need to go recheck the values for it again *makes a note*. I’m also still, sadly, using green gems as couldn’t even buy the blue quality ones from the auction house! There were simply none of the kind I wanted so my stats will see a further boost from that once I have it sorted.
In other news…
Someone mentioned in guild that a raid to kill the opposite faction leaders was going on and I leapt at the chance to do For the Alliance!, scoring myself another bear – [Reins of the Black Bear]! Really, though, it should be called a slightly-dull-grey bear rather than a black bear…

Gratz!
When did ya do For the Alliance?? Was that after Naxx last night? Damn, trust me to miss it. /sulk
Az: Aye XD
Softi: Was, like, after last Tuesday’s Naxx or somesuch – You know how long it takes me to getting around to posting stuff! :P There seem to be raids going almost every two or three nights at the moment.
DANG!!!
Congratz on the gears. Reminds me of the kara run way back in the day where I made a crazy jump in stats like your self.
good read
Nice bears! How many did you have in your leader-killing groups, if you don’t mind my asking?
Oh those lucky alliance shamans, all blue, always sought-after. My guild runs with 4 restos, 2 elementals and hopefully soon an enhancement shaman. Anyways, I’m loving not to be wearing cloth ^^. Shamans really get their share of loot in Naxxramas.
Hmmm, I’m very jealous of the loot- Grats on it :)
My shaman’s sitting almost at 77, and this post has given me more of an incentive to get my levelling butt in gear. Thanks ;)
