Resto Druid

I decided to create a new toon in World of Warcraft and chose Tauren Resto Druid as the class and race.

My wife is playing a Holy Priest and claims to really enjoy it. We both play horde only.

I will post more pics during the leveling process and talk about Resto Druid Healing macros and good dungeon instances to run and learn healing.

I have played a Holy Priest, a Rogue, both frost and fire mages, in the past, as my guild needed "healers" but I wanted to see how "restoration" went in regards to healing players during dungeon instances. I am also attracted to the idea of being able to wear leather armor, instead of just "cloth" as a mage.

Sethekk Halls

Last night we did the Sethekk Halls instance, which is part of the Auchindoun dungeon. This group of instances are for level 65 and up, and include Mana Tombs, Auchenai Crypts. You can find this dungeon in Outland's Terokaar Forest.

Here is a screenshot of our group getting ready at the summoning stone at Auchindoun about to enter Sethekk Halls.



This can be a challenging instance or an easy one depending on your group, however crowd control is a must and having a good group is a must. Many of the fights include multiple mob pulls and can cause wipes. Watch out for the exploding ghosts! Some of the monsters in Sethekk Halls release a slow moving, but deadly ghost. You cannot kill them, just avoid them before they explode!

The final boss is Talon King Ikiss.

Creating New Characters

Creating new charachters is easy in World of Warcraft and you may find you create a few before you fin the one you like to play most often. With the Burning Crusade expansion you can now be a Blood Elf. Simply choose the race and class, pick a name, and login to play. You can play as an Orc, Gnome, or a Night Elf, and even the Undead.
