And its been a while...

Sooo it's been a while since I posted. That pesky real life has been annoyingly inconsistent lately, so I took a break from my usual writings to go deal with it. And again. And again...

But I've made it almost to patch 3.1, and I find this: http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/04/12/the-light-and-how-to-swing-it-patch-3-1-and-you-part-ii/

Yes, that high pitched squeal is every prot paladin in the Wow-niverse having a game-asm. Yay for viable pvp on a prot spec, not to mention the hardened goodness of the pve changes. I can't express it better, but I do have a new shopping list of glyhs to attmept. Now I'm just wondering if I'll be getting talent points back to respend amongst the new goodies.

Had some drama with the former guild. Best I could figure out is that the GL got annoyed at being the land of alts, not having good attendance at raids, and generaly not being #1 in our hard core raider's books. Which isn't hard to believe when most of them were on during prime time, and the GL works nights. Makes for difficult raid scheduling. The things I got annoyed by was signing on to mass insecurity as alt after alt was being kicked by the GL/other officer and no one was explaining to the rank and file why there were toons flying out the doors. Especially folks who'd been there from the beginning and were well known and liked. Sadness and chaos all around. I ruminated on it for a week or so, talked to everyone involved, and eventually decided that I needed to be elsewhere if I couldn't stomach the leadership style. Sad to not be in guild with some of the folks I left behind, especially since I switched servers to play with them. But I can still harrass them from my handy dandy friends list instead.

Still struggling with gears, although now that the bf has hit 80 (yay for him!), I'll be towing him through a few heroics perweek. I'm ahead of him on the gear scale by far, but the more we hit, the faster he'll catch up. He got 2 upgrades in the first instance we hit.
