Megaera down!

This afternoon, was reserves on both characters, so wasn't too stressed about raid.  Got tagged Knitten a bit before raid, so had to grab some gems to add to her new belt (the SPA rep belt that I got yesterday).  This boss is so much less stressful as DPS than heals XD.  Shou did a bit more heal, Chiantos about the same, and Bellze about what Alter did the other night - but Gichin tanked instead of Arglen, which means he was throwing heals out too, and I think that's what got us through the kill.  Did the G-R-G-R-G-R-G strat that we spent most of our time on the other night.

Wiped a bunch on Ji-Kun, I was on nests (specced SV, with Lynx Rush but really debating that choice given that it's only available every 2-3 nests), learned a bit how the feathers work, how to time the nest moves, etc... best try was around 8 or 9 nests and boss around 45%.  We didn't end up trying too hard to pick up the buffs from catching stuff in the air, but we may have to work on that more in the future.

Spent a fair bit of time yesterday with G and WoL trying to figure out what Alter could have done better to make Megaera more successful.  Shaman are not in the top ranks of healers-for-Megaera.  Looked at the top few shamans on Meg - turns out they're all on a crit build - so spent some time today reforging and regemming to try that vs a mastery build.  We'll see how this plays out - Meg LFR went fine - didn't try to preserve mana specifically, and still had mana left at the end of the fight - but LFR is a faster kill and less raid damage so... hard to say.  Not really well-critted though; most of my gear has a chunk of mastery on it (most of which got reforged to crit).  Will go through the bank to see if any of the in-reserve gear might have better itemization for a crit build, but I don't think so (did look at it a little today).

Yarnie made almost 10k in sales this morning, and Knit around 3-4k... which is nice cos Bebel upped his skinning today and I bought all his MoP leather (he may farm it for me :D), and Alter bought another Eye for her Kri'tak (combo of Kri'tak + Orb = more crit and more intel and I think more spirit than the Ji-Kun staff I was using on the heal spec).  Still debating the Jade Spirit... but probably not on the RF version of Kri'tak.  Maybe on Jin'ya for the DPS spec, esp since upgrades are coming soon...
