Naxx will be mine, all mine, bwahaha!
Last night, we managed to take down Spider, Plague, and Construct. The last one we 9-manned because Super (my husband) had to head off to work. There were a couple of wipes this week also, but mostly individual deaths (including my own when I DC'ed during the Thadius fight, grr...). Kady got the token for the epic priest pants, yay, as well as a new ring (and I got another new ring today from CoS), I've only got a couple items left whose i-level is lower than 200. Ulduar is not that far away! :)I had a difficult time healing CoS today, we wiped on the first boss and I felt bad because I couldn't get the right heals off fast enough. I ran out of mana later, thankfully I purchased Runic Mana Injector Kits off the AH eariler, and having a Runic Mana Injector helped a lot. I definitely think CoS is one I'll have to practice. One of the things I had trouble with was focusing while zombies were coming up from behind and attacking me. I have my bubble and Fade within easy reach, and believe me I was spamming them whenever I could, but I had trouble balancing healing with getting the adds off me and healing myself when necessary. I have a tendency not to look at my own health for long periods of time, which is definitely a bad habit that I need to work on.
I'll have more hunter info soon, I've just been stoked about healing Naxx and heroics that I've been having too much fun to go back to Ladelyia for much more than a couple dailies. We may end up doing 25-man Ulduar with BK this weekend, if that's the case, Ladelyia will definitely be the one that goes because she's properly geared.

I came, I saw, I healed.
Kady healed Naxx! We did Spider and Plague in one night with only two wipes (and one shouldn't count because it was to those stupid gargoyles in Plague...) and one was because me and my husband DC'ed in the middle of a boss fight. Not cool Comcast, not cool. But other than that we did really well considering how many alts we had in that group. It was me, Alendia came as his druid to heal, Alindras came as her DK to DPS (just until she gets some better gear, then she'll be tanking), and Drenath came as his warrior (off tank). So almost half the group was alts and only wiping twice (and they really shouldn't count anyway) is freaking awesome. I healed and LOVED it! I was worried at first, having only been DPS in Naxx before, but I was also worried about healing heroics and have been doing pretty well at that too, if I do say so.
I've decided that Kady will probably be my main now and Ladelyia will be my alt, but this isn't to say that I won't play both, I'll just prefer to heal. I'm hoping what this well enable me to do is go on multiple locks of Ulduar and Naxx, since I now have multiple geared 80's. So if our sister guild runs something and need an extra hand, I can bring my hunter and not worried about being locked out when our guild runs something. Kady has picked up some AMAZING gear over the last couple of days. I went ahead and spent emblems of heroism on Handbook of Obscure Remedies and with the help of the AH, a guildie or two with mining and a blacksmith from BK, I was able to have a Titansteel Guardian crafted for me in less than 24-hours. Garaba deemed me Naxx-worthy after getting the mace and off-hand. I got a new belt from trash mobs or one of the bosses, I can't remember. Lotheb dropped the token for the epic shoulders and I had zero competition since our warlock was playing her DK, Garaba has ones from Ulduar, and my hubby had gone to work. They are pretty sweet looking shoulders and Garaba is jealous because they didn't drop for him. I'm almost revered with Wyrmrest, so I'll be able to buy the Sandals of Crimson Fury from them soon to replace the ones I've got.
I ask Garaba how I did healing during Naxx and I think I may have scared him with my awesome healing skills because he made a comment about me stealing his job ;) Wouldn't hurt him to have a little competition anyway, he long ago beat me in the highest epeen competition we were having. He's miles ahead now, so at least this way I can give him a run for his money in dungeons and raids :) What's funny is, I'm pretty much as awesome as I am because of him. He showed me the mouse-over macros he uses, gave me tips for my action bar, introduced me to Grid, and helped me re-work my talent tree (it was really bad, I'm crap when it comes to picking talents for any of my toons). I was ok before all that, I could get through regular dungeons without the party wiping, but usually there were one or two casualties along the way. I got progressively better with each thing he showed me. So I'm definitely the healer I am today because of you Garaba :)
And if I do end up whooping your butt in heals, it's your own fault for making me this awesome XD

WoW Comic Coming Soon!
The girls of Gates of Dawn started working on a comic yesterday during the "guild meeting" (which constituted the boys and Alindras playing D&D while Nayana and I played WoW, Guitar Hero, and took a nap XD).
A script was written and artwork is currently being drawn, we're hoping to post some of the comics here, or at least post links to them, in addition to posting a link to the blog wherever we do post the comics :)

Missing Leatherworking :(
When I do instances like VH on Kady, and there's not another skinner/leatherworker in the group, it pains me to see the number of corpses just littering the floor. For example:
The tank had to pull mobs through the corpse because we couldn't see them come out of the portal. This is what happens when you don't have a skinner and it makes me sad.

Kady hit 80!
I just got Kady to hit 80 tonight and I'm super excited! I can't wait to take her into heroics and start gearing her for Naxx. The best part about our guild having already cleared Naxx several times on our mains means that we shouldn't have too much trouble getting alts geared and running them through at a reasonable rate. I'm sooo excited about being able to heal heroics and just sticking with the Holy spec. Currently, I'm reading blogs about talent trees and researching which heroics I want to focus on for gear. I'll write again once I've accumulated some knowledge, made some decisions, and hopefully add some more gear to my set :)
I spent somewhere around 200g on learning all my new spells and another couple hundred on level 80 shoulders and gloves from the AH, as well as some gems that I neglected to buy sooner for some other pieces. I love being an herbalist/alchemist, not to mention this being my second character, I haven't spent as much money as I did on my hunter, so even after having just gotten Cold Weather Flying only three levels ago, and dropping all this money after hitting 80, I still have over 1K gold to spare. My big thing now will be swift flying, after being spoiled and having it on my hunter for so long, regular flying seems sooooooo slow and I simply MUST raise another couple thousand gold for swift flying. The nice thing is that I've started the Argent Tournament dailies, in addition to the other Icecrown dailies, so I can have two level 80's working on dailies and earning money, which means Kady will get swift flying muuuuuuch faster than Ladelyia did and I won't have to borrow money from guildies ;)
