Lots of updates

So...we finally downed Rag! After a good month or more of farming and crafting fire resistance stuff and doing all that...the guild managed to 1-shot Rag last week, and we 1-shotted him again tonight.


On our first kill, he dropped leggings of transcendence! I couldn't believe it! I'd been passing on prophecy so I could be on top for the next time prophecy pants dropped...but instead I managed to snag my tier 2 leggings! Awesome! I also got them the ZG enchant the same night...all in all pretty sweet:)


Then later that week, we did Ony and we got a double helm of transcendence drop! And what do you know...I still have enough dkp to snag one:) So now I have 2 of my tier 2 set already...pretty exciting:)


Unfortunately I wasn't able to even really enjoy getting my helm, as there was guild drama going on and stuff...so that was rather annoying. We're working on starting BWL, but right now I'm just kinda annoyed with the game and with a lot of stuff...guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I won't quit...but I think I might need to prioritize my playing time, or stop going to every 20 man raid or something. I think I'm just annoyed with the attitudes of a lot of players, and that type of thing. I seem to be pissed off when I'm in raids more than I'm enjoying it, and that's just not how I want to be. I play this game for fun, not to get angry or to feel like it's a job. Ah well...guess there will always be drama, whether it's irl or in-game...when you deal with people, you'll always have issues and annoyances.

Here's a current picture of my sexy self...

OMFG....It finally happened!!!

I GOT BENEDICTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have been waiting months to be able to say that! On Monday, we dropped Domo and our first Eye of Divinity dropped! We had decided to award it based on lifetime dkp, so another priest and I rolled, and I won!!!! I was so psyched! Later that night I went to just see what the quest would be like, without any buffs or any preparation, and I died very very quickly:P So, went and did a little research, found a great video that showed the quest being done, and the next day I went and farmed up some pots and got some guildies together to go take a "real" shot at the quest. For some reason, I didn't think I'd succeed in that first real attempt...but amazingly enough I did! I was (and still am!) so very excited!!

Basically the quest requires you to save a bunch of peasants from skeleton archers, and you have to save 50 of them before 15 of them die. There was something like six waves of peasants, and while you're healing the peasants you're also being hit by waves of undead. The undead are easy to kill with some oils of immolation and a thorns buff, so the main thing is to stay alive and bring the peasants to safety.


The rest of the day was spent farming up mats to put the +55 to healing spells enchant on it, then Zenos and I pvp'ed a bit, watched the fireworks show (irl), and went to bed. All in all, a VERY fulfilling fourth of July! Couldn't ask for a better day to get my Benediction:)

The staff can be either Benediction or Anathema, and there is a 30 minute cooldown between "flipping" it from one version to the other.





























The picture at the top of the post is the Benediction part of the staff, this is how the Anathema side looks:


I'll use Anathema for pvp, with Benediction being used for raiding and everything else:)
