No, really. I miss my mana bar.

I REALLY miss Sacred Shield. A lot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I miss wanting tier gear. I just picked up my T11 shoulders because they dropped and because they&#8217;re marginally better than the Chimaeron ones in terms of base stats (crit vs. mastery). That might be the only piece of tier I pick up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I miss the old lockout system! If you zoned in to an instance that was already partially cleared, you were saved. If you were in a fresh instance where you killed a boss, you were saved. EASY. I know, many people enjoy the flexibility, but we ran into more lockout issues tonight. Total bullshit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Auberdine. I spent a lot of WoW time in Auberdine while levelling Kurn. And a friend of mine from one of my stats classes was farming furbolgs for Timbermaw rep and he made his hearth the inn in Auberdine, way, way back in the day, before BC came out. I was at his place once and he showed me his toon (level 60 warlock) and showed me why Auberdine was his hearth &#8212; one flight point from Darnassus (AH\/bank\/etc) and one or two flight points away from Felwood, where he&#8217;d spend most of his time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I miss the occasional true tank-and-spank fight. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love a lot of the newer mechanics we see&#8230; but sometimes, a tank&#8217;n&#8217;spank is just what I crave. :)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I miss Valithria Dreamwalker! Well, not her. And not flying. But I miss the fact that it was a &#8220;heal this boss to full&#8221; fight as opposed to yet another &#8220;kill this before it kills you&#8221; fight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Most of all, I miss the knowledge that I had accumulated over 2 or so years. I&#8217;m stuck relearning everything, all the mechanics, all the player abilities and such, so that I can do my job of leading raids better. I just wish I could know it all NOW, you know?<\/p>\n<p><em>Yesterday: <a href=\"http:\/\/kurn.apotheosis-now.com\/?p=1797\" target=\"_blank\">Your Desktop Background<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Tomorrow: Your favourite spot (in game or outside it)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is part of Saga\u2019s 20 Days of WoW Blogging Challenge!
