Today I got a nice change. For the last few days now I kept getting Stonecore as my daily dungeon. I was starting to wonder if the word random was deleted from the dungeon finder or something. But today I got a different one, and as with all the other dungeons in WoW, it made me moan when I saw the artwork of the loading screen. This time, it was Grim Batol. The entire run took us about an hour and a half, and I was glad it wasn't much longer than that because I was on a tight timeline. I miss the days of quick and easy Lich King dungeons where it was easy to tank and easy to nuke. I quit healing a while ago, and it was long before they changed the talent trees and made the tree of life form a spell rather than a shapeshift. If it's one other thing I miss about the WotLK days, it's doing the twist. :)
So, an hour and a half. After the first bit where we fly around on red dragons torching enemies from on high, we notice that the healer is decidedly afk, so we boot him. Whoever initiated the kick had written in a reason, "Sexual harassment", which wasn't true of course, but it made me laugh and confirm the kick. We got another healer, and pretty soon we were on our way. A while later we finish and I got a new staff, though I had no need for it. The one I had was almost it's equal, though I'd lose two stats to two other stats, and I decided to keep the one I already had.
It wasn't until then, when I'm back in lovely old Stormwind, talking to the repair vendor and selling gray items, that I was looking over my two sets of gear, going between dps boomkin and bear tank weapons, when I realized something.
I tanked Grim Batol with my tanking gear.... only my helmet had been in my bags, and I was wearing the Chef's Hat all along. Then I remembered why... I had made two stacks of fortune cookies before I qued for the random heroic.
I just had to wonder would it really have made any difference with or without my helm? Huh... Well, anyway, I got my valor points of the day on my druid, even though the helm made me look more like the Swedish Chef...
