Having played with it for a week, I can say now that I don’t like the t9 bonus.  Well… to be more clear, I don’t like the t-9 bonus more than I like the t8 bonus.  Sure I like seeing the big numbers with all the crits, but if it’s critting on someone who’s at full health, what’s the point?  Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure on healing intensive fights, where everyone is taking damage all the time, that I’m doing a lot more healing.  I have little doubt of that.  It’s just…. I guess (sort of selfishly) I really like casting rejuvenation and seeing it heal the person right away if they are going down fast, or have gotten too low.  It seems somewhat less satisfying to cast rejuv knowing that (in a few seconds) it will start to help them.  I want instant healing on my instant casts damnit!!  Perhaps it just takes some getting use to…. what are your thoughts?

It’s officially October now, Happy Halloween (or Hallow’s End)…. check out my cute little halloween troll on the right —>  If you like her, visit the artist’s website.  

I have also been playing my cow, and we’ve made it to BRD.  Well, ok it’s not on my LFG for a few more dings but I’ve healed it a couple of times now.  I think I am finally wearing more leather than cloth…. now my shamen friend who’s leveling with me is another story.  BRD is the first place he’s gotten any remotely caster-ey mail… shame he needs a couple more dings to actually get it out of his bag and wear it!!
