This week was the mount week! I even got three mounts in one day! So let's start with the mounts.

New mounts this week

Amber shardhide

Bought this one after getting revered with Death's Advance. I love it!

Summer wilderling

Finally got the wilderling. Have been farming this for a long time.

Rampaging mauler

This dropped from Konthrogz the Obliterator in Korthia.

It's a cool and unique mount.

Shadeleaf runestag

Starting to get so much anima that I can waste a bit of it, buying recolor mounts.

Swift Gloomhoof

Did the questline/riddles to get the swift gloomhoof.

A very beautiful mount. But I wish it didn't have a bridle and saddle.

Silvertip dreadwing

My garden finally paid off! The second mount I get from here. The previous was the night fae one that I have trillions of recolors of already.

Right after I got the mount, I got its kid too! The Stonewing Dreadwing Pup.

A bat mount is worth all the junk I've gotten from my garden for ages.

Maelie

And finally, I got Maelie! She escapes, so you have to find her again for 6 days. She is in a lot of strange places in Korthia. And not up every day. I love the unicorn mounts without harness and saddle. But there shouldn't be too many of them. If there are, they will become boring.

Finally riding Maelie.

Raiding

The guild took down Sylvanas on normal! And we took the two first bosses on heroic. The day after, I joined a pug. It turned out that it was a community of puggers that raided together. I was invited to join them. Not sure how much I will be raiding with them though, since I don't want to get loot locked for when we are raiding with the guild. It was easier when the guild was on normal, because I could pug heroic freely. The atmosphere in the community raid was nice. We were on voice, and the raid leader was good. I got my last shard this raid too, so I now have the unholy set bonus.

Torghast

I really struggled with Torghast this week. Think we still are a bit undergeared for level 12. After trying out some different specs I ended up clearing them as resto. As resto I really struggle with dealing enough damage, but as Balance or feral I struggle with the survivability. The second trip I got the heart of the wild anima power so I actually could do some damage as resto. The guides suggests using feral affinity in Torghast as resto. But that didn't really work out for me. Much easier with balance affinity because you can be ranged, and moonkins are way tankier than ferals.

Ulveblomst

Wing 1: 1/5 shards as resto with balance affinity
Wing 2: 4/5 shards as resto with balance affinity

Mythic plus

We did really good in m+ this week! Previously we had only timed 2 15 keys. This week we timed 5! (We timed spires two times). Affixes was Fortified, Bolstering and Quaking. Bolstering is kind of the dps-es problem if they manage to kill the tank with it. But quaking is really bad when you're healing. If you see the life of all your mates ticking down, and you can't pull off a cooldown because you will be interrupted. Every aoe heal I have has a cast time or is a channel. As a dps, you only loose a little bit of dps. But as a healer it is really scary. I downloaded a weak aura to watch for it. But I have so much to focus on so I forget to look at it.
