Respected / Loremaster / Gear

Just to let you all know, while I am sad to see me doing this, I find that I rarely ever use my Holy spec anymore. The guild that I run with ((and more specifically the 10-man group I go with)) has two druid healers who come along, and they both can handle the raid heals quite well. Because of that, I have made Discipline my main spec with Shadow as my off.

Now, I haven’t played in Shadow since I first hit lvl 80 and got myself duel spec, so I will need to get back into playing it ((as well as start to gear it up some)). I can say with the ease it is of getting Triumph now in the game, I already have the 5 tier sets for my shadow set, just need to gem them and get some trinkets / rings that are more tattered to DPS rather then heals.

I’m not sure if I will be keeping the shadow though; even if I decide not too, Disc will become my main focus with the other ((shadow or holy)) becoming my off.

I think this is a good move for me, and I will need to start practice in using more shields and less renews. That is where I am having the most trouble right now.

And in other news, with the release of 3.3, I've decided to spend more time working on the Loremaster achievement ((at least the ones for Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor)). I know that the next expansion isn't due for a while now, but I want to try and get as many of the Vanilla achievements as possible before then. Who knows what will happen when Cataclysm does come out.

As of right now, I am just a few hundred away from having the Kalimdor achievement, and around 150-ish for the Eastern Kingdoms one. I'm not worried with the Outlands / Northrend ones since Cataclysm isn't suppose to mess with them that much. But once I do get the Old World ones, then I will start on Outlands then move to Northrend.

As for gear, the only new gear I got myself was a new belt: Braid of Salt and Fire from Ick in The Pit of Saron.

I still have not completed Halls of Reflection on Heroic yet. I did it on normal for the quest line, but I want to get though it on heroic to see what drops are there. The group that we normally go there with are having some trouble just dealing with all the mobs that are ranged. We are trying various theories and trials to see which works best with us. So far, we did the best while staying in the middle of the room, but once one of the casters ((mainly the mage)) focus' on me, then we tend to wipe, so we are working on ways to deal with that.
