Blaugust 2022 – 16 – Dragonflight Alpha
You wouldn’t think it seeing my blog, but I’ve actually had access to Dragonflight Alpha for quite a few weeks.

Blaugust 2022 – 6 – The first night
I feel like the first time raiding with a new team is like going on a first date with someone…

Blaugust 2022 – 3 – Raiding with the Silverbacks

Someone like you
In a game that I dive in to to escape from the world, I found I wasn’t able to fully escape because I just kept seeing parts of myself in it.

Classic adventures
Last week I was fortunate to learn that I had been granted access to the World of Warcraft Classic Beta servers. Anyone who’s followed my blog knows I’m a bit of a nerd, and a big part of me loves to contribute to these early access servers. I like feeling like I’ve helped contribute in…

Bye Bye, Pandaren
Tomorrow patch 8.1.5 arrives in World of Warcraft, and with it comes the much-anticipated allied races of Kul’Tiran humans and Zandalari trolls (along with a WHOLE bunch of awesome content!) I am beyond excited (as usual) for new WoW content. But I will admit I’m feeling bittersweet. Since I first learned of the Kul’Tirans being…

Children of the sea
It seems the Warcraft development team are back at work, because this week the first official Patch 8.1.5 PTR went up. And there’s a lot of great stuff in there. As usual, Wowhead are going through and presenting us with a peek at what’s to come (and doing a darn good job of it, too!)…

On the move
It’s been 2 lockouts since Realm disbanded. It’s been weird not raiding. I played a whooole lot less. The break was nice in a way, but to be honest one of the main reasons I wasn’t playing as much because there just wasn’t anyone else around. It got very lonely very quickly, and it was…

My BfA levelling adventure
How has it been a month since Battle for Azeroth launched? Holy moly time passes quickly. I suppose a bit part of that is about how completely flat out I’ve been in game. Which leads me in to the topic of this post, and the last Blog Challenge topic (I know I’m late!!) How do…

Pre-patch makeover
I really love a new pre-patch. There’s something about it that makes me feel like I’ve got a clean slate. It’s a new beginning which means new opportunities to kick butt in game and have new adventures. It’s also an opportunity to have a bit of a spring clean and a makeover, which is exactly…

BfA Alpha Elemental Shaman thoughts (so far!) ~*SPOILERS*~
~*This post contains pictures and information relating to the Battle for Azeroth Alpha. If you don’t want to know or see anything relating to Alpha, please turn away now~* EDIT: MArch 16 – a new build went up last night with a couple of changes that will hopefully address some points below, so expect a…

Mythic not-so-sassypants-anymore!
We did it! After all the dramas we have gone through as a team over the past couple of months; after losing so many players and recruiting and trialling others, we are finally at a point where, not only have we defeated all the mythic bosses we had killed before, but we have now got…

Thank you Coolidge!!!
I’ve said quite a few times how wonderful the WoW community can be. From organising fundraisers, to helping each other out, to just being super awesome people. This week I was lucky enough to be the recipient of some generosity from the WoW community.

Seeing Azeroth in a new light
Like so many other people, I have been running around taking screenshots using the Inky Black Potion. What a wonderful addition to the game that little potion is!!

Classy! part 2
One of my goals during the summer down time has been to unlock all of my class halls. Today, I finished that. This is Part 2…

Splishy splashy woes
The new raid week started for us last night and we absolutely powered through a full heroic clear in no time at all. Then we went in to mythics and cleared Mythic Nythendra on just the second pull. We headed off to spider bird but only managed to get 1 pull in (which we got…

Z & Cinder’s blog challenge – favourite Legion dungeon
My lovely friend Zeirah and I are challenging each other with a weekly blog post. We choose a topic and both write about. This week’s topic is our favourite Legion dungeon.

For Azeroth! (part 1)
Legion has now been out for three weeks. It has been an amazing three weeks, I have to say. The Emerald Nightmare raid opened last night, so I thought it would be a good time to reflect on how Cinderstorm got to this point.

Pre-patch adventures
I knew going in to this new patch that there would be some big changes, and that things might not work. So I didn’t hold my breath that things would be ok.
-
Decision made
Regular readers will know that I’ve been ummming and ahhhing about how to level in Legion – do I want to make it as quick as possible by levelling as DPS but potentially causing troubles for my healing artifact? Or do I want to power up my healing artifact from the very beginning but have…

Call of the World Shaman
Somebody on twitter reminded me of the Call of the World Shaman quest line from Cataclysm the other day. I did this quest chain once on my paladin but I was so new to the game at the time that it didn’t mean a lot to me then. It was interesting, but I didn’t know all…

Changing of the tides
One of the good things about keeping expectations in check is that when you are looking forward to an announcement, if it’s not super exciting, you’re prepared. It’s for this reason that I’m not overly disappointed with the Restoration Shaman changes announced in the Shaman class preview blog shown today. The short, initial reactions from…

Glyph of Ascendance
So I just learned about Glyph of Ascendance! I’m really excited about this. The Wowhead video above shows what they all look like. The only downside is that I already struggle with wanting too many other minor glyphs! But… this is super cool so I think Glyph of Ghostly Speed will go for awhile. Now,…

Mythic Blackrock Foundry
I’ve been raiding with my new team for a couple of weeks now. We are currently 5/10 mythic, which I am incredibly happy with. Sunday last week we managed to get down Mythic Flamebender Ka’graz and Mythic Gruul on the same night, which was an awesome feeling. Wednesday just gone had a few people missing…

Purple fire
I made a new transmog yesterday – a purple fire set. I really like it. I think it’s something a bit different, anyway. 🙂 So naturally I had to take some screenshots the dark place behind Scholomance. I love the new earthquake 😀
-
It’s elemental!
I’m still doing my trial with the new raid team. This week seemed a bit rough – they had a few people missing, but thankfully were ok with pugging some people so we eventually got the 20 to do mythic. Then content that they normally get through quite quickly took longer than usual, so it…

Legendary Tarecgosa
Well, it took me 9 months of on and off farming, but I have finally finished the Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest legendary quest line. During the countless Firelands runs I did, I managed to see Flametalon of Alysrazor drop twice, but never managed to get the Crown of Flame from Ragnaros, or a heroic chest piece for…

Thank you Sleeping Fox!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited about these. I commissioned the incredibly talented Sleeping Fox to do a chibi of my shaman, Cinderstorm (top) and my boyfriend’s monk, Thorfu (bottom). She finished them yesterday AND LOOK HOW DAMN ADORABLE THEY ARE!!!!!! I love them so much!! ❤

Blasting the elements
So raiding went alright on Sunday. We actually did quite well, one-shotting Heroic Flamebender as well as Kromog (who we only got down for the first time last week!) We spent most of the night progressing on Iron Maidens. I had talented in to Elemental Blast as this is apparently what all resto shamans should be using, and…

I have some lovely followers. Thank you to everyone who messaged me after my giant whinge the other day. You’re all wonderful and kind and lovely. ❤ I do feel a bit better. I’ve taken trollmonk’s advice and checked out the class forums on MMO Champion. The Shaman forums seem pretty good. People asking for…

I’ve been feeling a bit crap about things lately. It’s why I haven’t been posting on here all that much. I’m going through a “I completely suck at this game, why do I bother playing it” phase. Mostly it’s because of my raiding performance lately. It’s tough being a resto shaman sometimes. It’s not often…

Healing Heroic Highmaul – The Butcher
The Butcher getting in to the Festive Spirit! I’m putting together some short healer-based posts for each of the bosses in the Highmaul raid tier. Hopefully they’ll be useful for some fellow healers (my focus is on restoration shaman as that is what I play). Let me know what you think! (Read the Kargath Bladefist…

Brawler’s Guild – all done!
Brawler’s Guild – done! Yet another thing that I didn’t think I’d have the skill or time to do. Out of curiosity I took my shaman in to Brawler’s Guild to for a bit of a muck around. I figured I might get through the first couple of ranks but that would be about. I’d…

Challenge Modes
For the past two weeks some of us guildies got together and worked our way through the challenge mode dungeons. At some silly hour on Saturday night, we finished our last one! Gold wins for us all! Of course we immediately ran off to put on our new transmog set and get our phoenixes. We…

WoD beta testing- through the dark portal
Emerging from the dark portal (shame none of my transmog works in beta!)
