Yea, level 1 earth shield. Respec'd to restro and didn't even realize i had to get new training. duh!

As far as raiding goes, something quick like the one we actually finished the other day is cool during the week if I have time and am game for anything on the weekend between about 6AM and 7PM server time.

I was actually super excited when we downed that boss. I kinda thought we were a long ways away on being able to actually kill something other than trash and it was a bit disheartening. My gear is a bit better now than when we first started. And Z has a lot more HP now. That helps I guess.
