Updated Buckets

Looks like I've settled in on Mariwocket as my pre-cata main. These processes are mysterious. Intellectually, I know Djargenstad is a superior main. Shadow priest DPS is fun and somewhat interesting, and there's a ton of utility in having a priest.

But Mariwocket has demons. And more demons. And can turn into a demon. And at level 85 gets some wild demon soul ability. And they went and fixed my biggest complaint: destruction DPS was boring. It's not boring anymore, it's actually the most complex rotation of the specs, far more interesting than even spriest, and it rewards with very good DPS. So there we are.

Before cata goes live, I'd like to get Mariwocket the explorer title. Easy enough. I also want to finish my Kurenai grind and get her talbucks. Probably won't be able to get the PvP ones, since nobody ever fights in Halaa anymore, but I'll keep an eye on that possibility.

I'll also farm ZG as much as I can for the two mounts in there. Turns out, demonology spec is great for farming oldworld instances. Hellfire is a channelable AoE that moves with you while you move, and does respectable damage. Couple that with your pet's brostorm, and you've got a TON of movable AoE. For bossfights, you get 36 seconds of metamorph, which turns you into a respectable tank. I've tanked heroic instance bosses by accident while testing out my metamorph (ripped aggro, but the healer noticed so I was okay). In a similar vein: I need to do Kara a little. I want to learn mongoose, and if I can regularly farm Attumen solo, I'll be able to try for his mount too.

I want to get the Northrend and Outland loremasters done, at least as much as possible. I don't know how far I'll get in those progressions, but it looks like those aren't going to change in the Cataclysm, so work there shouldn't be wasted (I'm afraid of doing Old World loremaster chase, because work there may well be wasted).

I'd also like to down the rest of ICC, including the LK. My current guild has the chops to pull this off, but as a 10-man guild, we have some timing problems. We're also smeared across five time zones (some Atlantic Canadians in the guild), which doesn't help.

Mariwocket needs a Turkey pet.

That's about it. I'm more-or-less done with Justice Point purchases. Future earnings in that department will go toward a blue or two at 85. If I get really bored, I could do more tourney dailies. I'm a crusader already, so access to the odd heirloom when the alt urge strikes might be handy, and there's always a few 100-badge mounts I could shoot for. Remains to be seen.
