Long Time, No Post

It's been a couple weeks, time for an update.

I'm hoping in the next week to be able to pick up my ilvl 245 ring, the Heartmender Circle. I'm about a week's worth of daily heroics away from buying it. If I can manage to squeeze into some raids along the way, it will shorten the time a bit.

I've also purchased the pattern for Black Chitin Bracers. Also ilvl 245, and they have a socket. I am two Crusader Orbs short, but with prices falling, shouldn't be too long before I am able to grab them. Now... just have to find a leatherworker who is willing to make them in exchange for a free epic pattern.

Together, those two items should raise my gear score by 58 points, putting my score in the 2560+ range. At the moment, though, that would only bring me back into the top 20 restoration shamans in the realm. And by the time I get them, it will likely not even do that for me. I'm probably doomed to be in the 20s for quite some time.

I am, for the time-being, once again Headmaster (Guild Master) of The Order of the Phoenix. I'm hoping there is not as much turmoil as there was the last time. At least the guild has some excellent officers, it does help.

And how's the whole haste gear thing going? I love it. It works quite well. I still will end up on the verge of running out of mana at times, but it's not bad. If I can continue picking up more haste gear, I'd like to be able to get my Chain Heal down to 2 seconds without the help of a totem -- but that's going to take a lot more haste.
