Also a congrats from me!

I think, if and when possible, you should raid on who you have the most fun with. For me, that does usually mean a hunter. But right now a friend of mine and I are forming a new raid team for casual, non-progressive raids once a week. I'm personally torn between being his tanking partner on my warrior or trying my hand at raid healing on my druid.

Thanks both :)

That's kind of the issue I'm having right now. I can't decide! I love them both to pieces so it's hard to choose a side. So I leave it to the guild. And then the guild goes into war-mode :| So far it's been a case of, "bring this toon to this fight and the other toon to this fight". A temporary solution that is working out so far, but that means neither will get all the gear they need! xD

Random stuff happened over the last couple of days, namely a guildie spamming heroic and scenario runs to get his red direhorn mount from the Sunreaver Assault as fast as possible. I noticed, while we were messing around with our direhorns, that the red one is oddly... small. As in barely bigger than a hunter pet.

Cute! And it goes faster because of it. And because it's red, of course.

I was also surprised to have this little fella drop for during a ToT LFR run.

I don't play the WoW Pokémon game so he won't be getting much use, but to have found out it only has a 4% droprate from ToT was pretty nifty.

For the longest time I'd put off doing the Dominance Offensive rep until recently, when I noticed I was so close to hitting exalted with them. I have to admit, I really quite enjoyed the lore quests. And couldn't help but chuckle at Lor'themar's bench-flip x) Anyway, say hello to my two new pretty wyverns :3

Those look much better than the gryphons. Poo! Grats.

Also AFAIK the golden dino for the alliance is smaller too.

Sorry for the lack of updates, nothing much amazing has happened this week. Yup, Attumen and Onyxia are being stingy as always. I did manage to get exalted with the Sunreaver Onslaught however and picked up my own runty crimson direhorn, who I've named Dante :3 I think he and Cera like each other~

In other news Foxy Fighters finally downed Horridon last night! Hooray! And Varethyn got a nifty new chest piece. I was also amused to find that Horridon is skinnable. Though all I got from that was 8 pieces of exotic leather and some intestines xD

Another boring week so far it seems. Attumen and Onyxia are determined to not give me their mounts. Between Varethyn (hunter), Ireneus (monk) and Kithren (paladin) I'm up to 48 Ony kills and 117 Attumen kills. Bah. I've been considering making one of the gem panthers, too, but those orbs are expensive. I have enough now but ever since this one guy pretty much took over the entire AH making gold has become somewhat difficult. Still chugging away at those dinos in the meantime. No eggs to count yet but I'm sure something will happen soon now that I've figured out how to solo the pterrorwings.

In other news we took a break from raiding ToT due to lack of healers. Instead we finally managed to clear out all of 10man HoF and made it to Sha of Fear in ToES before having to call it quits. Quite the achievement, even though we got no useful gear beyond new shoulders for my monk xD

I feel like I'm talking to myself here.
Both Var and Iren have eggs now. Let's hope neither of them are green! :D

Don't worry, I do read, even if I fail at commenting most of the time. >.> Endlessly jealous of those wyverns, I adore them and hate the gryphons the Alliance gets. x.x And yay eggs! I... am not patient enough to farm them.

Yeah, don't worry, I read too, just not always in the mood for commenting or I don't wanna look like I'm being lazy by just saying 'Congrats' cause I have nothing better to say. xD

Same here. I rarely comment on any of these mount journals, but I do so love reading and admiring them. :)

That's good to know :) Sorry, I get paranoid when people don't talk to me D: I see all the other popular threads and think, "What did I do wrong?"

People only followed mine cause I used to give out free TCG pet loot cards... xD I kid, I kid. There's always the odd post you make where you're like 'zomg look what I can do' and then no one responds and you're like '... okay. :c'. But nah, I'm aware that people read the things I write... sometimes... I get kinda paranoid too. If only there was that whole stalker thing like on Facebook where you can see who's looked at your messages and when. >___>
