Why is Jess sleepy? Well that big heavy Wyrmclaw Battleaxe might have something to do with it. The Left Claw is a small guild with three tanks, so we take turns tanking and DPS. It’s been an interesting challenge for me to improve my gear and performance to become, at best, adequate. And I get some encouragement like “well, you’re almost doing as much DPS as the tank” and “maybe you should try harder.” Of course a certain resto druid is fortunate I didn’t take screenshots of recount summaries when she specced boomkin for a recent heroic Utgarde Keep run. I think she was too busy dancing. Boomkin got back.
My preference lately has been for arms. I like the randomness of it. It does take a bit of practice to do good DPS with arms because of the intricate timings and rage management. (If you are interested in PvE arms in WotLK I highly recommend you read this.) Fury is just terribly boring for me, and I get frustrated listening to all the misses from the autoattacks. But I plan to give fury another try once they make the change to Bloodsurge, and maybe pick up a pair of new swords for it. I want to enjoy fury, but I’m just not there yet.
The other reason why Jess is tired is that she’s been spending quite a bit of time trying to organize her bank. Because of the different hit caps for arms and fury, and because I’m still not sure about the best combination of hit, crit, attack power, and armor penetration, I’ve been keeping quite a collection of gear in the bank.
