Yesterday I ran the champs and Eadric in HToC during my lunch break. Then finished up the Black Knight when I got home. Smoooth sailing for a change (i.e. no Paletress!).

Then I did the daily heroic, Utgarde Pinnacle. This was only my second clear of that instance, because Skadi is generally a brick wall. This time, not so much! I guess I've been gearing up since last I tried it, and Skadi -- though a challenge, who did manage to kill my (soulstoned) priest when Hand of Reckoning was on a stupidly-timed cooldown -- dropped without a wipe. Nooo problem. That's great to know, 'cause it's the daily regular today.

I did a quick HVH run, 'cause it's easy badges, and then went to do yesterday's daily regular in HCoS. My last time through here, I was doing it at breakneck speed with everyone flasked, for drakey reasons. This time I thought, ahh, a leisurely run for a change, how nice. Stopped to loot, drank, just basically in no hurry. Partway through the town hall I realized, waitaminute, if I DID make it to the Corrupter, that'd mean an extra badge. I picked up speed a little, didn't stop to skin the dragonkin, but sorta went faster. With this totally lacksidasical approach, totally without consumable buffs, I still killed the Corrupter with 3 minutes to spare. Wow! All those HToC runs really made a difference.

And then fished.
