Caving to pressure

So you know how I posted yesterday that I didn’t have to run any heroics?

Well, I had that post sitting in my drafts for a few days before I actually got around to hitting publish.

I did get to 460 with what I could scrape together outside of heroics.

I did get to Revered with the Order of the Cloud Serpent in one day and bought the first four panther patterns.

I did run both halves of MSV and Sha prior to the Tuesday reset, netting me a belt off Elegon.

With no coins, I opted to only run them once.

On Tuesday, with my near-instant LFR queue time, I ran both halves of MSV again.

I got the same belt off Elegon.

Oh, and a Spirit of Harmony out of one of the fail bags.

Sha gave me gold.

I was stuck at 464, not enough to open up HoF at 470.

What about the new 522 neck?

Crunched the numbers on Ask Mr. Robot and came up to 4-fucking-69. One point shy.

Still no coins (because now you run new content to get coins for old content, lolwut?) so no reason to run MSV again.

If I wanted to run HoF that week I would have to bust ass to get the VP for the neck AND I would have to *shudder* run heroics to do so.

Swallowing my hate was hard, but short queue times made the medicine taste better.

And surprisingly, the groups I got were all pretty good. (Except the one time I ran with some guildies. MOTHS TO THE FUCKING FLAMES. If it was bad, they stood in it. So much frustration.)

I scored a few trinkets that weren’t any better than what I had, but the ilevel was a tad higher than my stone and I got a DPS helm that can sit and look pretty in the bag while artificially inflating my ilevel to the 470 required for HoF.

But by that time I was exhausted and had to go to bed, leaving HoF for the weekend.

Ever have a weekend that doesn’t go like you planned it?

Yeah, I had one of those.

So run HoF on Monday night, right?

Um, yeah, no.

I am continuously amazed that such a thing as 6 AM exists and even more amazed on those rare occasions when I find myself seeing it in person.

My work day ended and found me puttering listlessly about the house, unable to focus.

By the time I sat down to log in to WoW it was all I could do to post auctions.

But this week!

This week I can run MSV again, perhaps get another belt off Elegon to vendor, and then off to HoF!
