Insomnia

This is going to be a ducky day. I can tell already.

Tankadin Healing

My little level 17 horde paladin tanked Ragefire Chasm tonight...

I managed to get myself into Vault of Archavon (10 & 25 man) and Hyjal Summit (25 man) PUGs last night and did surprisingly well.

Change...

In an attempt to improve my threat per second and clean up my action bars, I changed my tanking rotation, key bindings and macros and just spent the last 6 hours farming Argent Dawn reputation and runecloth in Stratholme, hopelessly trying to get used to it all. What a clusterfuck trainwreck that was. I can tell this is going to take a painfully long amount of time to get right. :(

The good thing is that I am now 66% revered with Argent Dawn and 55% revered with Ironforge from the runecloth. Also, with my new 4500 gear score, I survived a very sloppy, failed stealth attempt in the gauntlet where I was silenced and rooted for nearly the entire fight against 12 trash mobs and a boss - the same thing (minus the boss) that killed me the first time I attempted to solo that dump.

Mission Accomplished

After two days of hard work and a shipload of gold spent on the quest chain itself and items required, I finally got my Charger feat of strength along with the skeleton key to Scholomance. It would have felt better had I not already purchased my Charger and epic riding skill to be sure, but I still feel like I have done a major accomplishment especially since I soloed the entire thing, only dying once when I ignorantly aggroed too many silencing and crowd controlling mobs at once in the Gauntlet at Stratholme with a sudden surge of over 2200ms latency.

Paladin Charger Quest Chain

My new paladin tank is now 79, so I decided to take a break from level questing and such to do my epic ground mount chain for the feat of strength. What... an... expensive... pain... in... the... ass. I am going to solo this so we'll see how far I get. On my way to Stratholme right now to get the holy water and I still need to find one more Arcanite Bar and kill Araj the Summoner to get the skeleton key for Scholomance.
