Dead Gnomes Society

One of the questions on our guild application is to describe your “crowning glory” or best personal moment in WoW. I actually have three of them. And they all  happened on my druid.

I love druids. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with my druid. I’ve been pretty one-dimensional this entire expansion, heals or GTFO. Two of my crowning moments have, naturally, been as a healer. They both came in Cataclysm. The first was the day after I ding’d 85 and accidentally solo-healed the first boss in Tol Barad (he was the only one active at the time). I was in greens and some dungeon blues. The second time was in Dragon Soul, I ended up solo-healing heroic Warmaster from the start of Phase 2.

The third crowning moment came last night. And I wasn’t even healing. Hell I wasn’t even dps’ing. Well I was… until This happened……

I was finally getting the chance to dps as a kitty, for the 2nd time in flex. And I didn’t do too shabby if I do say so myself! Oh look, Aly learned how to dps!

AND TANK!!!

We were doing Malkorok on Flex. I’m not sure what the hell was going on, but everyone around me just died. I didn’t even realize the tanks were dead until I heard Tai yell “Oh no it’s up to Aly!” Or something to that effect…without even thinking about it I popped into bear form, hit my Heart of the Wild talent, hit taunt and barkskin and mauled the crap outta that fucker! It was down to me, Tubbs and Sarah (Rezzie – shoutout!). Tubbs went down, the boss was at 1%. Sarah went down. I GOT THIS! BOOM!

WHO SAYS BOSS LADY CAN’T TANK!!

That was pretty epic.

Druids can do everything! I can almost do everything! Except boom. I can bring the BOOM but I can’t.. you know…chicken boom. Oh well. Fun times!
