WoW 3.0.8 Patch arrives!

It finally arrives! The long-awaited patch. As a druid, I do love this patch. I'm not gonna list what changes happened in the patch. You can look it up if you want to, but it's also listed when the update has been downloaded and patch installation is being applied.

Druid update



I actually dinged 80 less than a week ago, I think. As you can see, during my last 250k to level up, I colored the entire Northrend map for experience hoping it would be enough to ding me. It left me with 40k to level and an "Explore Northrend" achievementl! I did a couple of quests after that in Zul'drak to get my level. Shortly after that, a friend of mine started to form heroic runs to gear me. He also brought another friend of his. Both of them were very good geared. Holy Paladin and a Boomkin. With the Boomkin geared and skilled, it made up for my lack of dps. I was in cat form with bear tanking talents and no kitty talents. Eventually, I am now decently geared and have been tanking heroic. Here's my armory link at the moment, although sometimes I would log out in my crappy kitty dps gear. I still have a few pieces left to get from other heroics that just won't drop. I also need to get my alchemy up to make up for me not having Jewelcrafting and Leatherworking for the extra stamina buff they provide.

I'm still new with the instances so I'm still getting used to the boss fights, but most of them are pretty easy. Actually, they are all easy. During my first boss encounters, my friend would whisper me general knowledge about the boss and I'd be quick enough to catch on. This was during our first boss encounters. The only thing that makes the boss fights harder is when the rest of your group don't co-operate and/or do not know the fight themselves.

Anyways, hopefully I'd be able to get the rest of the gear I need and start learning raid dungeons. On another note, I've been soloing old contents like Ogri'la prequest bosses and other instances like Onyxia's Lair. It's really fun, I love druids!



3.0.8 Patch

When I logged on earlier, first thing I did was switch to bear form to see how much armor the patch gave me. I was expecting to gain a few Ks but what I got was ginormous! My armor went from barely 20k to a whopping 30k! Tanking Heroics now became so much easier. I can even pug (pick-up group) them now. Aside from that, the game also introduced a butt load of bugs. Our Heroic UP run for daily came to a halt when the 3rd boss bugged out. But I'm still very happy with the patch!
