One more hurrah for a great tree

One last salute to Resto4Life and the excellent Phaelia:

(To the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious)

It's Bloom, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Nourish, Swiftmend, Rejuvenation!
Even though stacking all those heals brings much frustration,
If you cycle well enough you'll be the raid sensation,
Bloom, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Nourish, Swiftmend, Rejuvenation!

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

Because I was afraid to heal back in patch two point o,
My GM gave me a slash-gkick and told me just go,
But then next patch, I respecced and got invites through the nose,
So I set up my keybindings and this is how it goes

Bloom, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Nourish, Swiftmend, Rejuvenation!
Even though stacking all those heals brings much frustration,
If you cycle well enough you'll be the raid sensation,
Bloom, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Nourish, Swiftmend, Rejuvenation!

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

She travelled all 'round Azeroth, helped and never hid,
All who spoke of her blog said, "Now there's a great druid."
When kings, warchiefs, and GMs want to get advice from her,
She blogged her bark off and became a shirt entrepreneur!

Bloom, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Nourish, Swiftmend, Rejuvenation!
Even though stacking all those heals brings much frustration,
If you cycle well enough you'll be the raid sensation,
Bloom, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Nourish, Swiftmend, Rejuvenation!

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

(You know you can cast that backwards,
which is Rejuvenation, Swiftmend, Nourish, Wild Growth, Regrowth, Lifebloom,
but that's not good for regen, don't you think? Indubitably.)

So when the feral has your tongue and mana doesn't last,
Just summon up her guides and you'll learn to heal oh so fast.
But choose your spec carefully because it could change your life.
(For Example? Yes?
One night I healed for my guild, and now I'm Resto4Life.
Oh and a lovely guild it is too.)

Lifebloom, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Nourish, Swiftmend, Rejuvenation!
Bloom, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Nourish, Swiftmend, Rejuvenation!
Bloom, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Nourish, Swiftmend, Rejuvenation!
Bloom, Regrowth, Wild Growth, Nourish, Swiftmend, Rejuvenation!


(Yes, I know that's a bad cycle; I exercised artistic license there.)

I may have never met you online, but thanks for all your help and hard work for resto druids everywhere! Many happy trails!

A tree uprooted

I know I said my next post would be a look at Ender's Game, but this came so suddenly that I felt I had to throw in my two cents.

Today, Phaelia, the grand poobah of Resto blogging, the queen of Resto4Life, announced that she will be giving her last post to her blog on March 19. Phae's blog was actually what led me to first respec to restoration with the arrival of patch 3.0 and inspired me to start work on this tiny blog. In fact, just last night I was looking at her site and trying to find a way to get Tree For Hire into her World Tree druid blog network.

Phae, we will miss your presence here and wish the best for you, especially with your little sprout on the way. Thank you for your inspiration, and may you always have three stacks of Lifebloom rolling.

Recently bloomed

Well, I've finally gone and done it. After trolling WoW blogs for a while, I've finally decided to throw my hat into the ring and make a blog of my own.

In this blog, I'll be blogging on life in WoW along with some small quips from my real life. For example, I intend to soon post an entry on how a recent reading of the novel Ender's Game brought to mind guild leadership in WoW.

As far as gameplay articles are concerned, I'll be focusing on the perspectives from my play on mains as Scyuk, a Tauren druid specializing in restoration, and Luminoct, a Blood Elf warlock specializing in affliction, both on Tichondrius. Expect mana regeneration rants once 3.1 hits. XP

Well, thats all for now, but stay tuned.

See ya online!
