Tier 6 for me!

Grabbed my first piece of Tier 6 with the gloves off Azgalor last night. Seems like we have the fight pretty well down now, but we did get sloppy right at the end and almost wiped when the tank went down at about 5%. We were able to finish him off before he killed Thrall. The gloves are only a small upgrade over Worldstorm Gauntlets from Solarian that I have been wearing. However, once I get another piece for the set-bonus then T6 becomes the clear winner.

I also am starting to slowly move towards building up some spell haste rating. After I got the gloves last night I switched a couple of Luminous Pyrestone I had in yellow sockets over to Quick Lionseye. Spell Haste gives more raw throughput once you have plenty of healing, you just have to be sure to keep a balance and not go too far with it and gimp healing or regen. I think it scales exceptionally well for a resto shammy spamming Chain Heal on the raid.

On Sunday we are starting or first real efforts on Archimonde. We ran in a couple times last night just to practice air bursts and get a feel for dodging doomfires. We did not even bother setting up heal assignments or trinket rotations, so I do not even consider those real attempts. We did manage to take him to 80% without even trying, so I am not too sure how hard he is going to be. It is a complete retard check, so hopefully we are low on retards. I think if T6 helm drops I will be blowing a lot of DKP to get the set bonus. 10% off each cast of Chain Heal is uber! When spam casting it is equivalent to over 80-115ish mp/5 depending on which rank I am using.
