Well, we cleared Mimiron yesterday, and that was a lot of fun. We worked on General Vezax for a bit, but just didn't have the dps and he was healing too much. I think we might have it next time, but starting tomorrow and for the next 2 weeks, Steaky and I are on vacation.
Traveling to Denver, CO to visit my brother and a couple of friends, then off to Dickinson, ND for a family reunion, and then we will be heading to Appleton, WI to meet/visit with some of the other officers in our guild. I can't wait to meet them! We have been chatting for over a year now, but none of us have met in person, so this should be fun!
Anyway, I figure by the time I get back, we should have some more news on the state of bear tanking. Ya'll keep it furry!!

A Bearable Situation
So, like many of you, I do try to keep up on my daily blog reading. I find it interesting lately though that most of the feral bloggers haven't much to say. While the Resto bloggers are still chatting it up and disscussing different things, not much has changed for a while for Bears. And that is a good thing and a bad thing.
It is great that things aren't changing and that means that we aren't too messed up right now. But it also means that nothing real exciting is happening either.
My guild has been running 25 Man Ulduar during the week and my 10 Man Ulduar runs on the weekend. Our 25 man has been plagued by many difficulties. First it is summer, hence fewer online players. So we matched up with a similar guild to run 25 mans. And while this is nice so we have enough players, when our top ret pally can out heal 3 of their healers using only his Judgement of Light, something is mighty wrong. I saw this on the WWS (Eff. Heals) for defeated bosses. He was 4th on heals and also 3rd on damage done and 4th on DPS. I was kind of shocked. Then take into account that their GL is their MT, and while he is okay, he isn't what I would consider a great tank. He dies every fight at least once, and isn't that great at holding aggro. I mean, come on!
However, my 10 man is going well. We had missed several weeks due to people being out of town, so we finally got down Hodir, Freya, and Thorim on Sunday. Only took us 2 attempts each which isn't bad since we had never seen the fights before. We would have taken down Mimiron, but we only had 1 ranged dps, a Boomkin, and 4 warriors, so that kind of hurt us. Hopefully this weekend we will have our Lock. But then we go on break again for 2 weeks, but I can't complain too much since it is actually Steaky's and my vacation that is messing stuff up there.
Anyway, not too much exciting happening for us.....

New forms
As I'm sure you all have seen by now, there are new forms for cat and bear. I have seen them all and they are definately different. And above all else, I am soooo glad I'm a Tauren!! I really like their forms better.
I think it is funny that the Tauren cat forms look male and the Night Elf cat forms look female. If you have the designs in game, why can't males have the Tauren manes and females have the NE cat design? I mean, come on, why would a male NE druid want to look like a female cat? But seriously, why do the Taurens look like male lions and NEs look like female lions? I admit the colors on the NE forms don't scream female lion, but the look of the cat does. And what is the deal with the jewerly?
Anyway, just a thought for the day. I can't wait to play around with the different colors and decide which one looks best on Ylee!
