Working on my drood some. If I can burn off her rest bonus regularly it should go fast. I think I'm gonna make her a boomkin at 80, and second spec tank. I'll probably be lousy at both, but that's what alts are for, heh.

That's about it. Nothing special really. I'll get on that series this weekend.
