The intro, thats not an intro...

Well it's my inaugural post.

I considered a proper introduction, gaming history, other characters in WoW, why I chose to create a blog for this character, etc.

Well, I don't really want to do that. However I will answer the last question.

So why did I start a shammy blog? Simple, I didn't see any others out there updated regularly and thought I'd give it a shot. So here goes.....

Shaman being a hybrid class are capable of filling many roles. Melee DPS, Caster DPS, and Healing. Each spec allows for group support with the totems a shaman has at his or her disposal.

Well, I leveled like pretty much everyone else, I specced enhancement. I did know that I would respec at 70 to one of the other trees. Mainly because there was a lot of bad press going around about level 70 enhancement shaman. Also, I wasn't really interested in doing content as melee DPS. Initially I thought of going elemental, but quickly changed my mind and decided I would become a healer. Why? Being alliance for my entire time in WoW I had never grouped with a shammy until the expansion. Even then, as the army of newly created alts began to shrink, and the novelty started to wear off, I very rarely encountered a restoration specced shaman.

So there it was, restoration was the tree for me. If only for the reason that I didn't know how it would work out. I didn't know what I would bring to the table when it was all said and done. If anything, it would be an interesting experiment.

In short, further tests need to be done, but results thus far are very positive.

The intention of this blog is to relate my experiences as a hybrid healer in a guild just starting its journey in to Kara. It seemed like the perfect time to start a blog of this nature. Nothing like documenting your awkward phase, eh? Just like looking back at photo's when you were 12 years old rocking a hyper-color T-shirt and a sweet rattail.
+= Awesome.


Anywho, in future posts I intend to write about such things as gear and stats, my role in instances, the fun of falling on our faces as a guild in Kara, and anything else I can think of.
