Respecced and re-geared to enhance

In preparation for my goal of 2200 in 3's next season, I spent an hour and a half respeccing enhancement and collecting a stack of PVP enhance gear.

I had a lot of stuff lying around in my bank and a large collection of tokens and honor and a few arena points helped round everything out. I'm wearing 2xT8.5 and 3x the PVP set plus a bunch of other PVP items. I lack good weapons (I have an ilevel 200 and 213 fist and mace respectively) but my dps and burst seems reasonable.

I did an AV, several EotS (the daily) and an Isle of Conquest to get used to the spec. It's a lot of fun. The only achievement I picked up was Flurry although I got several wins for other achievements. We also won the same Eye of the Storm 1600 to ... 2. If it was 0, that would have been another achievement. Finally, in the same BG, the game bugged out while I was the flag carrier with all 4 bases held and refused to cap my flag for a third achievement.

My take on EotS achievement is that they look pretty easy compared with some like "win AV in 6 minutes" that needs a dedicated group.

Finally, I forced myself to do all 8 of the Argent tournament solo dailies before going to bed. I think the one I hate the most is the duels. Dueling 7 mobs is very tiresome. It's not like there are every any surprises, just the same button presses over and over. Still, I want my portable mailbox.

Feast of Winter Veil pops when the servers come up. Hopefully I can bust through most of the quests tonight.

Remember to Share (300 Toys)!

This one has taken a while. I finally picked up 300 toys (and thus the mount for the achievement) after starting to seriously work on my Archaeology achievements for the first time. I've been doing the fortnightly Legion archaeology quests for a while (and thus had 800 skill) but I completely ignored this profession in earlier expansions as it seemed seriously boring. With some knowledge and a good addon, it's much better however. Some tips if you're just starting to work on archaeology: 1. Download the "Archy" addon. This addon does several things: first, it shows you the location and completion status of all digsites in the current continent. Second, it automatically sets the closes one as a waypoint for TomTom. Third, it indicates when it's possible to solve an artifact with and without a keystone, so you don't have to constantly check your archaeology screen. On top of that, the distance indicator shows when you are in the correct range from your ...

Beta update - best achievement EVER!

It probably won't make it to live. But check out this feat of strength from the beta:

A Song of Wind and Water

I've been working on Oracles and Ogri'la rep every day and have about four days to go. One thing I've noticed about these older daily quests is that there is little provision for high-level players that one-shot everything. Two quests in particular stand out as being annoying until you learn the high-level trick. The first is Banish More Demons in Blade's Edge. This involves placing a portal on the ground then killing demons within a few feet of the portal. The portal has a one-minute cooldown and you need fifteen demons. It was a slow exercise in frustration because kiting further-away demons was difficult sue to all my abilities one-shotting them before they got near. In the end, I learned to use the Shaman's "Purge" ability to aggro mobs without killing them and pull them close to the portal. The second, and more annoying, quest that isn't scaled for high-level players is the Ogri-la's Song of Wind and Water .  This involves weakening ...
