I was reading a new post over at World of Matticus, about how he had learned to heal effectively. It got me thinking to how I figured out healing as a resto druid, and it was this...The hard way.My first healing character, and my first raiding character was my Holy paladin, Domni. I started in BC, where healing consisted of spamming FoL as long as you could. In WotLK, it got a little better, you

I was having a chat with a guildy yesterday, a fresh 80 Death Knight (also his first 80). We ran a few random PuG's together, and I kept reminding him to "try and stand behind the mobs when you are attacking", to which he replied "Why?". Why? Well, the reason I gave him on the spot was because a target can't parry when you are behind it, only dodge, so more of your attacks land, and you do more

I'm casual. I've done about 3 VoA's, a half-naxx, and 2 Ony 25's. I've been reading a lot of gear guides, filled with long lists of obtainable "Best In Slot" gear I can get in ICC and the ilk. This does not really work for me since I'll most likely never see any of this content. So, in response, I whipped up my own little wish list of the gear I can obtain on my schedule. I think I'll call it the

So, in true Backrubs fashion of poor timing, I have decided to launch my blog the day before I get my wisdom teeth out at 7:30 in the morning. So, instead of the "lazy druids gear guide" I was going to work on, I will later regail you with tales or oral surgery. Maybe evena picture of my swollen grill, if it so pleases you. Update later today.*Update*Back from the dentists. Was only supposed to
