So Blizz has just given the two week notice for S4, and I’m glad my druid is all ready for it, near-capped honor, marks to get most things she pleases… problem is, my priest isn’t.

I love my priest. She’s my first love. She’s my best geared PvP character by far. I’m not stopping playing Elysiane, no way. Thing is, her stuff isn’t up to date, being that I have been focusing hard on my druid for the past few months. I always slacked getting S3 nonset epics for her because she had the S2 ones, and let’s face it, the difference isn’t vast.

She does need new things though now that S4 is incoming – I definitely plan to land her the new necklace and belt, and the S3 boots and bracers for now. Thank God I don’t need ring upgrades, but I WILL need a mainhand upgrade, Light’s Justice is so one year ago.

It all comes out to about 90k honor, and all the primals for the enchants… add to this the fact that I actually said screw it and splurged on the S3 gloves just yesterday, you can imagine how “ugh” I feel right now.

One positive thing is though, I could resilience cap or come very close with new gems and mainhand, so that will hopefully be some motivation. I’ve been getting rid of stamina in favor of resilience lately, and it seems to work better than the other way around.

On another note, I was playing my priest today and thinking how playing different healing classes with different strengths has taught me things that ended up making me a MUCH better priest. My druid taught me how to sneak drink breaks at the most convenient times. My paladin taught me how to never get caught in the open and how to LoS most effectively. My shaman taught me how make sense of chaos – dropping totems, healing, Bloodlusting, Purging, and doing all of those at appropriate moments. I feel that all of those combined have made me a much better priest, and in a way, I’m glad I spent most of this season not on my priest but on my druid and paladin instead. I feel amazed how most everything has become second nature to me by now, things that I spent entire S2 in ignorance of (S1 was just pathetic, I played as 20/41/0 on a rogue priest priest 3v3 =P).

Now to go grind that honor… /die

So I was just reading the Elitist Jerks thread, Stupid Things People Do.

Then I decided to do a WSG, I haven’t done a WSG on Starlet in some time, and I wanted some “real” PvP instead of AV over and over again.

Round 1:

A warrior picks up the flag and carries it to our base. He’s got a priest and me guarding. Our flag is much in the same situation, Alliance flagroom with a few guards. Both flags get attacked. Luckily, the Alliance FC dies before ours.

Problem is, our FC is 2 steps away, literally, from capping, and he ain’t. He’s too busy getting those few last HKs.

Night elf druid grabs the flag and gets the hell outta Dodge. Soon after our FC dies, we lose the round.

Round 2:

Mage grabs the flag, same priest and me guarding. We run to our tunnel without much excitement, in our tunnel the mage gets Cheap Shotted.

And promptly Ice Blocks.

Luckily I was fast on the clicking and grabbed it, but by that time the cavalry had caught up and got me, we lose the round.

Round 3:

Warrior has the flag, warlock and me guarding. I am too busy bitching about this stupidity to a friend and miss the warrior getting ambushed by a couple of mages and a druid. FC dies, we lose the round.

No, but srsly.
