How come Attumen does all the talking?
Cos Midnight always feels a bit horse.

HEEHEEEE.

So… *bit bashful* I was made an officer last night.  :^P  Bleh!!  After all that blabbering I did about why I love being a regular member and would never ever choose to be an officer, no sir not me… (-_-)  Well, Mom kept nudging me gently about it & I was starting to feel like a jerk to keep declining.  And Biggie made it all sound so reasonable- he said my only duty would be to run applicants through test heroics, and since I run heroics all the time anyway, I might as well… but of course I know, and they know, and I’m sure you all know, that the job’s not gonna be that simple.  I’m gonna take Auzara’s words to heart though; I figured out after reading her post that my problem as a guildleader in my previous game was that I was one of the too-generous-with-my-time leaders, and it wore me down.  Now that I know my weakness, hopefully I’ll be able to avoid the problems that burned me out last time.

I’ve been trying out new mods.  At the risk of sounding immodest (hehe xD), I think the only healer superior to me in the guild right now is Socrates.  It’s true he has T6 gear, but even if we had the same gear I think he’s got me beat as far as skill and quickness goes.  So far I’ve been using Blizzard’s raid windows with a mouseclick + keypress method for healing, but I know Socrates uses X-Perl and swears by Healbot (which is weird, from all other accounts I’ve heard Healbot isn’t as useful for druids).  Nevertheless, he must be doing something right, right?  So I downloaded both the other night and joined a Gruul raid to test out X-Perl.

Disaster!  Clearly I’m a creature of habit, and I’ll need a lot more practice before getting used to new unitframes.  I had to relog to turn it off before finishing the rest of the run, it was that bad.  It really sucks because configuring that crap was a real kick in the balls, took me 2 hours to get it all set up in a way I thought I could handle.  TOO MANY OPTIONS!  Exactly why I never played Sims 2, I spent about 3 hours just making a satisfactory character, thought about how long it’d take to build & decorate a house, and fled.  I’m a simple-minded person, I just want some simple raidframes… <;^(

Friend’s recommending Grid over X-Perl, so I’ll check that one out tonight.  If it comes down to it though I can’t see that I’m doing so badly using Blizzard’s regular raid frames, so… we shall see.
