Just a quick update for this week... it has been a busy one - inside and outside of WoW. Being on holidays I have actually had more time to play and it has been a bit of an achievement fest! Firstly - as Syrana pointed out in our Christmas treat - the Winter's Viel achievements have been a blast - and easy to complete in the small time frames. The two worries I had being Fa-la-la-la-Ogri'la and With a Little Helper From My Friends... For Fa-la-la-la-Ogri'la I spent most of the time following round a horde druid or death knight who did all the killing part and then I just looted... not that it was any problem doing the killing (I did do one). Although a pro tip I noticed on wowhead afterwards... you don't need to do the lead in quests any more - you can just start in Ogri'la and do The Crystals quest.
With a Little Helper from My Friends - this wasn't too bad in the end mainly because of one killer Alterac Valley battleground where I racked up 36 honor kills before succumbing to the onslaught... and picked up Damage Control in the process - Beacon of Light I love you!
Apart from that I finally ran Pit of Saron with some guild mates... and it was an interesting experience. Certainly a good challenge after the ezimode healing that most of the regular instances have become. It took us longer than I expected - with a disconnect and me wiping the group once (followed by another wipe)... but some interesting mechanics (like the run up to Scourgelord Tyrannus.
Lastly I've been doing some tanking again (and incidentally used the random dungeon finder by myself for the first time... ending up in Oculus, which only took about 45 minutes) - switching Keluin over to Holy/Prot and it is good fun - even tho I still feel like I have no idea about pally tanking (what do you do with a caster pounding on you from a distance?). This came about because as part of the Blog Azeroth Kris Kringle I wrote for Righteous Defense about how I think Protection Paladins are probably the best class for playing WoW in an Hour. Have a read of the post over there - WoW in an Hour: Protection Paladin
