To Start Off

Well I have been debating all day about how to start this blog. I'll start with a little about why I am starting my blog. I have been actively reading blogs since I started raiding in BC. Although I started playing World of Warcraft about three and a half years ago, I was quite a noob in Vanilla WoW and never did any raiding on my mage. I ended up taking a break from WoW and not returning to it until two months before BC released. Ah my mage, the first toon I ever made. Looking back he was spec'd so bad and was just as random and horrible as you can imagine. Before the release of Burning Crusade I rolled a tauren shaman so i could practice playing a shammy before the launch of the new Alliance shamans. As you may have guessed I rolled a Draenei shaman named Deatheous on the pvp server of Malorne.

Deatheous was my first raiding toon and he was elemental spec. The first raiding guild I got in was terrible. We couldn't even do Karazhan plus the guild leader hated me but for some reason seemed to have a hard on for my friend believing him to be the greatest player to ever walk the earth. My friend is a great player, I will admit that, but the GM loved him a little to much in my opinion. When we left, my departure was praised, while my friend was practically placed on a funeral pyre and given a true warrior's departure. Two friends of mine and I decided it was time to transfer severs. I wanted to raid and few of the alliance guilds on Malorne were excelling at the time and my two friends being avid pvpers were also unhappy with the alliance performance in our battlegroup. We made lvl 1 toons and went server hopping to shop around for a new server that would be a better fit for our needs. Also Malorne had a rather small alliance population which lead to there downfall.

We settled on Stonemaul and that is where I have been raiding and playing ever since. I went through a number of not very good guilds in terms of raiding. To skip over the boring parts of being in bad guilds and also after leading my own guild "Its not easy being green" which had too small of a member base to support 25 man raiding, I finally settled on joining a guild called Peacetime Mandalorians. This guild was better than any other I had been in and they were farther progressed than I had ever been. The guild leader was rather inactive when it came to a raiding guild. But the raid leader named Kumii, who is now a friend of mine, seemed to carry out the guilds raiding with excellent leadership. Though we only did some of TK and the first boss of Mount Hyjal, it was still a better experience than any other previous guild.

By the time I had joined Peacetime I had switch to playing a druid as my main. His name is Eliose. I raided as feral in BC and now play resto and boomkin in Wrath.

To catch up on the present, yesterday my guild downed its first Eye of Eternity 25 man. It went much better than I had expected it to go. It seems that guild is greatly improving and also it is growing which I am very happy to see. Next week we will be doing Obsidian Sanctum with drakes up. Two weeks ago we tried to do OS 25 man with 2 drakes up and first off we had a few pugs which didn't help but we epic failed at two drakes. So we knocked the difficulty down to 1 drake. Again this was a failure, hence my surprise at doing 25 man Eye of Eternity and completing it on our first guild run of the instance. Though many of the players who attended have down 10 man EoE before. So go go Evocati for next week in OS.
I'm excited to be posting for the first time. Thanks to anyone who feels like reading my blog.

And I hope to make this a druid blog mostly centered on Resto, but I will talk about the boomkin when I get a chance to do so. I have yet to mess with feral much in this expansion despite leveling as feral, but maybe I might throw some of that around.
