An update.

Right it's been a while since I said anything, now as my readership is so small, that should be no issue. But I thought I'd put up here what I've been up to for my own sake, even if no one reads it.

Recently I've been doing something I never thought I would do, ICC10. First I had a SAN run on Athru. Hmm, maybe I should explain about Athru, originally he was my high level bank alt/epic gem crafter, but I was bored one day and thought I'd level him just for the craic. So I got him to 80 and started the slog of gearing him up, pugging as a healer (he is dps) just to get groups easier. So on two consecutive days, the first being the day he hit 80, LFG gave Occulus up, on both runs I got a little present, so that meant spending 5k I wasn't planning on spending, good thing he's the bank alt. So into ICC Athru went with SAN, poor guy was healing, but we did well and one shotted most of the bosses though on Festergut we had one wipe. Athru picked up a shiney, but best of all he got rep and got himself a nice ring.

Next up is Afaon, he too has been inside the icy walls of ICC, spread over two nights he and the group he was with managed to down all bosses but Sindragosa and The Lich King himself, which I think is a fair old achievement considering, I was tanking and not quite sure where I was going or what I was doing most of the time, picking up his own ring along the way and a few shinies. Admittedly wipes happened, but there was no drama and fun was had by all, well I think so, I know I had fun at least. I have also been building up Afaon's Ret set and even doing some heroics as dps, it makes a nice change from the stress/pressure of tanking.

The rest of my toons are progressing in their own way slowly but in the main successfully. I had plans but I've decided me and plans don't work out so I have 'would likes' instead, 'I would like to do this', 'I would like to do that'.

All in all I can say I'm playing my game and having fun with it. Thankfully, I was worried for a while there.
