Thoughts on encounter types and speccing dual resto
Sep 28th
What follows is a sprawling, this-is-how-I-do-things post. It is not necessarily intended as a guide, it’s more me thinking aloud and pondering how I have adjusted my healing to suit the current encounters, in 10 man raids. Shifting towards direct heals Running with only 2 or 3 healers in 10 man raiding, there isn’t as
Wild Growth bug now fixed
Sep 24th
While nothing has been announced, druids are reporting that the WG bug has finally been fixed. If the above is true, self-casting should now work, even when your target is dead or out of range. While this is obviously kinda illogical, it was still annoying when it wouldn’t fire. It still occasionally tripped me up.
Hard mode Vezax tip
Sep 22nd
The Vezax fight is unique in that you cannot regen ANY mana during the fight (although you will get about 25% back from Lifebloom blooms). Pots, Innervate, MP5, spirit, none of it will help you get any mana back. On normal mode, you can stand in Saronite vapors to regen a little mana, but on
Raid debuffs and how to make your life easier
Sep 18th
One thing I’ve always loved about Grid is that I can set up my frames to change to – OH-GOD-LOOK-AT-ME-I’M-BRIGHT-PINK – pink when someone has a nasty debuff. The rapid colour change to something bright and obvious immediately prompts me to bomb them with heals, run away from them, run to them, etc etc. But
What I miss about large / What I love about small
Sep 18th
It’s not the size of your raid team, but how you use it – isn’t that how the saying goes? This is our third week of 10 man raiding and we’re just tearing it up. Most hard modes are either one-shots or at most take us two or three tries. The only one that is

New rule: if you PuG TOC25, you’re cheating on the 10s ladder.
Sep 9th
Personal soapbox time! Ok, so I may have inadvertantly stirred up a bit of a hornet’s nest on the Caelestrasz forums by making an innocent suggestion that our realm should have a separate progression ladder that only included self-proclaimed 10 man guilds. Someone created a thread to discuss the phenomenon of 25man raiders bragging about
September character update!
Sep 6th
I’ve had a few people ask me what happened to Kiiva, so I thought I would give a little bit of an update of what I’ve been doing in the world of the World of Warcraft. Inexorable reformed First, I reformed my guild. Sentimentalism or masochism, or maybe a blend of the two.. I announced
Resto druid gems – part 2 (meta gems)
Sep 4th
Meta gems In my mind, there are two standout choices for meta gems, the Ember Skyflare Diamond (ESD) and the Insightful Earthsiege Diamond (IED). Of those two, the IED is almost always the better choice, despite what people will tell you. Here’s why. Why the Ember Skyflare is hardly ever right I’m bound to start
My name is Emma and I live in Australia. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was about 11. I won’t tell you exactly how long ago that was, let’s just say long enough.
