This post is chock full of WoW

So, yeah, WoW post. Gotta love being on vacation!

Last night, I went on my first ever real raid in WoW. And by "real raid" I mean an actual Raid Instance designed for more than 5 people. I volunteered to fill out the ranks of the TSGA (The Small Guild Alliance) of Aggramar on day 2 of their Molten Core run. We took out Golemagg and Sulfuron, but triple wiped on Executus (after getting him down to two Elites left). Two Cenarion Belts dropped, and I was one of only two druids remaining after the raid was called, so I got one. There had been 4 druids total, one had the belt, another had what I think was a better Epic belt, and the third had a world-dropped Epic belt. Me? I was wearing Wildheart Belt. Still am, actually, since I'm six bubbles from 59.

It was a bit tricky being two levels lower than the rest of the raid (but I never aggromonkeyed, thank you very much) and being Feral Specced, so I was pretty much on healer duty the entire run. And I didn't totally suck at it, but I only really had Rogues and Hunters to deal with.

Today is maintenance day, so it's also known as housework day. And the day my brakes get replaced on my car. So, I'll be poor, but my car will work, and I'll have a clean-ish apartment.

Off I go!

Molten Core is fun the first few times you're going through getting loot and experiencing bosses. Lucky on the belt drops - bracers and belts are royal PITAs to get because it's completely luck based. There's been a few times my guild's run the whole instance without a single BoE.

We had three belts drop. Two Cenarion and one Giantstalker. And they got a Cenarion the previous night doing the first part of the instance. A couple pieces of Feralheart also droped (Robe and Bracers, but Robe is BoP obviously). Lots and lots of epic drops. I'm looking forward to doing it again (possibly this weekend!)
