In a Rush

Last night I wrote my first blog and it felt pretty good. I laid down to go to bed and realized I didn't even mention a few key aspects of my boring raiding life... such that I had left Peacetime to join Evocati. They have been a great guild to me. They are lead by the more raid orientated members from Peacetime and we are actually getting things done which is a huge change of pace for me. I am now an officer in the guild and I am very happy with how we are progressing.

Even recruiting is picking up. In the last two weeks we have gotten two new resto druids. Scratch that apparently we now have three new resto recruit. I have yet to talk to the third recruit that much who joined yesterday.

Anyway Drudi is the first recruit that we received and Akari our Raid leader did a 10 man naxx run with him last week. Though Akari was trying to help Drudi heal better he wasn't making much headway. I had a sit down talk with him on Sunday and had him respec. From his performance in the 25 man Maly he seems to be doing much much better. Drudi is young and still has a long ways to go but its a road I look forward to guiding him on.

Later that day I got to interview our second new recruit Beasst. His gear wasn't bad mostly gear from 10 mans and he looked like he was ready to jump up to 25 man content. I have yet to heal with him but I am looking forward to truly testing his performance this weekend. By his stats he sounds fine and he raided in BC so hopefully he will find a new home with Evocati.

Now our last recruit, as I just found out today when I was checking our guild armory to see how many druids we had, I happened upon this guy. I have only seen his gear on the armory so I cant make much of a judgement on him as of yet but I look forward to having a personal talk with him later when I get on.

I like to have a chat with all the druids in the guild when they join to assess where they are at and the direction they want to go in. I think it is important that I know all aspects of my class so I can help out other in guild druids that may not take as vested of an interest in there toons.

And just to add we have a druid named Papito that plays as feral but always jumps in as resto in a pinch. He has been a solid healer even for it being his offspec.

Anyway to finish up my chat on resto druids. When the guild was originally formed I was pretty set on raiding boomkin this expansion but we were always short on healers so I stepped up to the role and haven't looked back since. Also when we had started raiding there were three druids that we raided with regularly. A resto, a boomkin, and occationally a feral druid, who was my old class leader in Peacetime, would come with. Originally getting gear from ten mans was like pulling teeth. It didn't help that we raided with three DK's and a mage. On average we had seven people rolling on one tier token. But much has changed as we jumped to 25 mans. The other resto druid that I had faithfully healed with though most of my beginning Wrath experience left the guild. We were pretty low on druids after that when we started 25 mans. Usually it was just me as resto and a boomkin.
