When I do get picked up by a group, I ask “am I healing or hurting?”. When they tell me that I’m healing, I tell them that I’m a noob healer. Then I notice that everybody usually targets me. My assumption is that it’s to inspect me.

Some dude said “LOL, liar, nice gear noob”. That’s when I have to tell them “my healing gear is epic, my healing skill is not”  – I’m going to macro that cuz I’m tired of typing it. I let them know that I’ve never solo healed before and that I’ve only healed 10 and 25man raids where I always have someone to somewhat cover my ass.

Now, having said all of that, HEALING IS FUN SHIT, despite what some people think!

Perhaps it’s because I’m new to healing and am only used to tanking or dps’ing, but it is very fun to me! In the first heroic VH I did, there were only two deaths (sorry random mage, I blew my Holy Shock since I momentarily forgot which mouse button it was keyed to; here, have a Sacred Sheild – woops, I’ll rez/buff you in a few seconds) and no wipes. I healed another VH later (after the reset an hour later). Then I healed heroic UK, despite my not-knowing how long I couldn’t heal after the last boss does his silencing thing. In case you’re wondering, I got silenced, so I didn’t wait long enough.

In other news, I finally got my ring enchants, 2x19sp for my holy gear and 2x32ap for my ret gear! My enchanting is at 405 now. I don’t plan on advancing it further than that, but it might happen eventually. My unbuffed spell power is over 2k in my holy gear. My self-buffed ap is just under 4200 in my ret gear.

My glyph selection is very weak at the moment, for both of my specs. The scribes must be making a TON of money right now – good for them. It’s amazing that some people will buy a glyph for 300-400gold.

I (re-)started fishing too! I’m up to about 200 so far. The new fishing dailys are pretty cool. I really like that I can start to level my cooking with the new fish that I’m getting. Being able to fish from outside of VH is very cool stuff. I find that if I can fish while I’m in LFG, I don’t get so bothered at how long it takes to get a group for <insert random heroic name here>.

My WoW server, did not apparently.

I’m a jewelcrafter. I’m a casual player. If I don’t get to play a lot (more than 30m) on a given day, I do like to do one thing at least and that is my JC daily.

I’m normally able to wake up, get showered, shaved, dressed and eat some breakfast and then I’m able to squeeze in my JC daily, all before I have to leave for work. I wake up around 5:30 or 6am EST. The JC daily usually takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

I woke up this morning, logged in to WoW and went directly to Timothy Jones (the JC daily quest giver) and … nothing. There was no blue exclamation point proclaiming “Hey! I have a quest for you to do today!”.

The dailys reset at 6am EST on the server that I play on. It was 6:42 am when I strolled up to him to accept my quest. My guess is that at 7am, he will offer me a quest that I won’t be able to accept unless I log in tonight.
