I have not stepped into firelands yet on my main(blood dk) but have watched my wife down trash and the first boss and I am excited to test my skill. Although as some have mentioned the worry of firelands getting old quick and having nothing to do I am the opposite since I have stepped into the world of bear tanking. I just hope to be able to do tirelands on both tanks before having. To learn something. New again.

I got dragged into a guild trash run for the first time last night, and it was the most fun I’ve had for ages. Our only drop was a LW recipe, but the encounters were not as hard as I had feared, and our mostly-inexperienced group coped really well, only wiping a couple of times. I loved the atmosphere – of the place – like Molten Core but with a great feeling of space – I can’t wait to do it again.

My wife did a trash run yesterday and she loved it. Her pug grp did seem to have trble handling the molten lords…tanks didn’t seem concerned with switching once their stacks reached 3.

BBB, my worry is that 4.2 will grow old quick (by august) and then we won’t have anything to do till December.:(

Playing on your main IS much more satisfying! I just, as in Tuesday night, resubbed my 6-year old account. My experiment of starting all over with a new account failed. The past few months have been fun, especially playing as a newb through most of the revamped zones. But oh what sweet relief to logon and play my level 85 Mama Druid.

She stepped foot in Hyjal at level 80, but only for a brief moment to check out what the druids were up to. So I have to quest through the zone to access the new dailies. By the by, I should let you know that I chose to level her in waterworld after reading your post about how awesome the zone is for druids. I had the time of my life playing in the water and leaping and bounding on the sea floor!! Your screenshot of doing the latter in bear form was particularly instrumental in this decision. =D

Anyhow, I quested up through restoring Goldinn’s shrine and went from Neutral to Honored with Guardians of Hyjal. In just one night. I had to quest through two entire zones to get honored with The Earthen Ring! Has there been an increase to faction rep gains, or were there just not very many Earthen Ring quest givers? I don’t mind. I was able to upgrade a few pieces last night.

So, I just sorta went off on a tangent there. I basically wanted to comment to add a “Me Too!” with regards to playing your main. I’m gonna take it easy on the alts for a bit. I have a lot to do on Mama Druid!

I would also like you to know that, coming from the perspective of a full-time working parent, your recent posts about end game content are appreciated. While I will be more likely to pug it when the time comes (as opposed to leaving my level 2.5 family/friends guild), I am glad to know that the content is accessible and experienceable (yay, a new word!) to players with schedules such as ourselves. Thank you for that.

The smaller turtles are rootable and stunnable; it’s funny to see them spinning in place as you nuke them from orbit. Don’t cast spells on the big turtle when he has the shiny spell reflect shield up.

There is NOTHING like having a couple of turtles treat you as their own personal ping-pong ball to keep you humble. There should be an achievement for most bounces without touching the ground (or dying.)

We lost our shadow priest over the side on the first molten lord because they couldn’t see the fiery poufs of boom. Oops.

Then we killed a corehound and stared suspiciously at the smouldering corpse for a while waiting for a boom, but nothing ever happened.

It’s going to be a fun tier!

(And lots of stuff is skinnable!!)
