Ding 80! Took me long enough – I must have spent almost a week at 79.5, I just didn’t have the energy to play.
Along with hitting 80, I needed to decide how I want to play my main. I had been mulling over the idea of changing spec once I got there, and had a list of things that was pushing me towards anything but the boomkin. Don’t get me wrong – I love my fluffster – but it’s difficult to get a group together when you’re just DPS, as a healer or a tank I could get one practically with the click of a finger.
So then came the toughy… tankage or healing? I think you can decide from the title which spec I’ve gone for…
That’s right… I’m a tree! I stole my talents from the lovely Phaelia from Resto 4 Life, as I had no idea where to start, and I’ve been using her gear list while trying to gear myself up somewhat. So far the main change I’ve made is basically kitting myself out in the leatherworking PVP set – yes, I know, it has resi, but at least it’s boosted my mana regen enough to just about be able to handle healing in the easier instances.
You guys do know I used to be an innervate-bot back in my vanilla-wow days… right? It was the only way I got to see MC and the like, and I was pretty good at it back in those days, so in essence, I really am going back to my roots – both figuratively and literally! 
So, that’s what I’ve been doing recently… how about you?

Gratz to level 80
I am also thinking what to do with level 80 … but I still have some levels ahead of me.

Gratz for getting to 80!
I also respec’d to resto today, wanted to see how that works with my gear and because we needed a healer for our instance group.
But now I’m thinking… I love playing resto, or boomkek, but I think deep inside me I’m still feral, so what should I aim at?

Grats! I’m right there with you – just hit it on Sunday. Now the gear fun for raiding begins!
