Ugh . . . I'm going to be Bald Bear Belly soon.....

So in the past couple of weeks since 3.2 hit, I haven't been able to run much at all. I have passed a kidney stone (ouch) and had the stomach flu. And when I'm that sick, I just don't like to sit at the computer for very long.

Now, on Monday, I am having a total hysterectomy. So I will be in the hospital for 3-5 days and won't be feeling up to tanking for a while. Damn. Well, at least I should have time to do dailies during my 6-8 weeks at home. Gold for the win!

I have been trying to compile a list of gear from 10 mans that would be upgrades and I hope to have that posted up here soon. If not before Monday, then probably the next week.

Patch 3.2

So the patch hit last night and I got to play around with it a bit. We went and ran the new 5 man dungeon on normal 4 times and heroic once. I am shocked that my dodge went down quite as much as it did, but that could also be because I replaced my Alchemist's Stone that had stam and dodge for the The Black Heart which has 126 stam and a chance to grant 7056 armor for 10 seconds. I don't know what the internal proc rate is for the armor bonus, but I will say I saw it quite a few times last night. Of course, the first time it happened my whole group was a bit confused. It gives an animation of wings above my character, and since we didn't have a pally in the group, we really didn't know what was going on.

I don't know how much cat dps has really gone down yet. I will have to wait and see. I tanked last night or did shadow dps on my priest so maybe this weekend I will have time to find out.

Not much changed on my Disc priest. I know Penance got a longer cooldown, which sucks, and Prayer of Healing got nerfed. But as far as actual changes, not much happened to change my rotation.

I played around on my 56 shaman a bit with the totem bars. I think that is just sweet!! I love that feature! I have been leveling her in my spare time and I fully intend for her to be my next 80.

I am hoping to get some more play time this evening, but with real life stuff going on too, I don't know that I will.
