Week 8 - Priest Appreciation!

My favourite!

Since the EU release of Classic WoW, this has been my favourite class. It was edged out slightly by the Druid in beta, but by the time release came around, the Priest was my firm favourite. I've always been a healer at heart and no other class gives you more than one healing specialisation to choose from. I am guaranteed that each expansion I will find a healing spec that I like with two options to choose from. Over the years, my preferences slip from one to the other dependant on changes made to the class, but I always find a way to enjoy healing with a priest.

My main character, Swanhild, had very little to do really. I worked on her fishing for a while, trying to finish the reputations with Margoss and the Fisher Friends, but I didn't get as much WoW time this week as I had family visiting. I did complete the rep grind with Margoss and all but two of the Fisher Friends though. I still have to earn the drowned mana to buy the items from Margoss but the hard work is done there.

Swanhild in her Disc transmog  set with Erik the Singing Sunflower (always my favourite pet)
I love the transmog sets I have for this character. They were carefully designed to look like they were wearing as much metal as possible as it almost feels wrong having a Dwarf in just cloth, even if she is a Priest. I do like the way they turned out though and I love this specific set of shoulder armour with its subtle wings.  I am currently trying to decide whether to allow this character to race change to a Dark Iron Dwarf in BfA. She has always been hugely sympathetic of Moira's storyline and it would fit...but I'm not sure I can bring myself to change the appearance of the character I play the most often. Besides, there will already be several others in my character list that I will switch over. More thinking required.

So aside from doing some fishing on Swanhild, what did I do with the rest of the time I had for Priest week? Enter Phoxxie the Goblin! While I do already have 110 Goblin Priest I don't really like the server she is on, and I figured it wouldn't take long to use the 100 boost I had sitting about and level a new one on a different server. I had started this a week or two ago but had only taken her to 105 so far, so I pushed the last 5 levels to finish her off. I still have to finish her class hall stuff and get some gear on her as I mostly levelled through invasions but that's one more at 110 at least.

See you all next week for Rogue appreciation (or a little more like Rogue tolerance in my case).
