Priest Talent Specs
My lovely Azeroth Adivsor posted some re-spec information for me to use with my Shadow Priest.
I don't think I'm going to respec yet. I love my Shadow. And I'm doing quite a bit of grinding still.
But the thought has crossed my mind to do an experiment. Save my talent information and screenshot my bar button locations (anyone know a better way) and then grind with Damage Meter on for a while. Note the DPS and mana/health efficiency and then respec. Then do it all with my new spec. Then compare.
I wonder if one of these specs can out-DPS my Shadow. I am doubtful.
On the other hand though... I've heard rumors of the "dual-spec" coming to WoW for several months. Even without losing my Shadow, I may be able to give one of these a try.
What do you think?
With your final talent points arriving, you finally have the points to complete the ultimate group healing spec. This spec is tailored toward offering great regen, healing power, and versatility in a group or raid environment. It is generally accepted that with a deep Holy build you should focus on gathering gear that has a lot of Spirit. Talents like Spiritual Guidance make this a must-have stat. This spec also has Improved Holy Concentration and Empowered Healing to make you a very strong tank healer while talents like Circle of Healing and Divine Providence bolster your group healing capabilities. With this spec you are the ultimate group healer and will be welcomed in any heroic or raid group.
If you plan to solo but still want a viable group healing spec, know that this spec maximizes your DPS and regen but maintains strong group healing abilities. This spec picks up Divine Fury and Searing Light to maximize DPS from your Smite and Holy Fire. It also includes Spirit Tap for regen and even Divine Spirit to increase your regen and DPS. This spec is good when you are grinding small groups of mobs by shielding yourself then casting Mind Sear and Holy Nova to bring the mobs down. You will even be able to cast free Smites from Surge of Light procs.
The Discipline tree holds many of the best PvP talents, but do not overlook the Holy tree. By picking up a few of the PvP talents offered there, you can be a viable PvP Healer and instance group healer. This spec takes you all the way to Guardian Spirit at the bottom of the Holy tree. This can be invaluable in PvP by giving you time to land heals on a target close to death. If your target receives a killing blow while Guardian Spirit is active, they will be instantly healed to 50% health. This spec also includes the basic PvP talents of Spell Warding and Blessed Resilience to keep you alive long enough to get heals off. Overall, this talent build offers a nice compromise between group healing viability and PvP survivability.
WoW Patch 3.0.8 – First since WotLK
Blizzard has released their first patch for the WoW expansion, The Wrath of the Lich King. This new patch includes quite a few changes that I think are great. Read down to the full post for all of the patch notes that Blizzard posted in the WoW Client.
The first one that is most notable is about Death Knights. I foresee a LOT of Death Knights being created. Now you can instantly have a Level 55 toon on a new server. This is an advantage that I think is not desired. But for those who honestly want to roll a Death Knight, having to run another toon just to begin your 'real' character isn't desired either.
"Players may now create death knights on any realm once they reach level 55."
For those Tauren's who wanted to ride a Hawkstrider, or the Night Elves who wanted to ride a Mechanostrider, you now can!
"Racial restrictions on mounts have now been lifted. Night Elves on mechanostriders? Tauren on raptors? You're not seeing things."
I'm going to need someone to fill me in on this a little. Someone who can actually use this. But it sounds like it might be kind of neat. Maybe.

Bekah will have a Black Eye
Bekah will have a Black Eye
We had an accident today.
Scott Snell came by the house to say hello. Bekah loves visitors so I got her up from her 'quiet time' in her room and let her visit with Snell.
She decided that she wanted a Candy Cane and got very excited about the idea that Snell should open it.
So when she started running to him, she ran into the table and it knocked her to the floor. She cried for almost a minute but was then fine and back to normal.
But she's going to have a black eye tommorrow.
Glyph Calculator
Suntao's Glyphs
If you need to figure out which Glyphs to use with your character, you can head over to WoWDB.com's tool Glyph section.
You can jump to the Glyph's the I am using as of this date.
It's a great way to learn which Glyphs are available for your class.
Campfire Need No Wood
Campfire Profession
One feature in World of Warcraft that I feel was included but is never used past level 5 is the Campfire. As soon as you realize that you need to carry Flint and Tender and Simple Wood, they stow it away and just claim that it isn't worth it.
And I agree. Bag realestate is valuable.
Well a simple change in the new patch now allows you to create a campfire without the need for Simple Wood.
Now combine this with the Gnomish Army Knife (which everyone who does any professions should carry) and you have a super good deal.
Bekah and Green Crayons
Green Crayons
I was cleaning around the house while Bekah was watching one of her kids music dvd's this morning.
She was playing with her toys and crayons and books.
Today she decided to chew on one of the green crayons. She has it all over her face and on her clothes.
This is the first time that I've really caught her eating the crayons. She's done so good till now.

DandyID
I've started using DandyID and I love it. Over the years I've signed up with many websites that host a profile about myself to share my achievements or stats.
You should check it out.

Migrating to a new Server
I've spent much of this afternoon moving many of my web files to the new server that I'm using. The other server needed a big software and hardware upgrade.
I decided that it was easier to move everything to a new box instead.
I will work over the next few weeks to get the other websites and users moved over as well.

This is a Photosynth that I made from World of Warcraft - Icecrown Citadel area using screenshots from the game. I took these shots using my Blood Elf Priest, Suntao, on the Boulderfist realm.
