Ceres, Draenei Priest

My plan at first with Ceres was to level her to 70 and heal in raids on Mannoroth - her name back then was Voice. I leveled her with a friend of mine, Tendertotems (a Draenei shaman) but as I got higher level (between leveling her and Shaeldre on Bronzebeard) I was hearing more and more discontent amongst my guildies at level 70. I slowed down leveling and around when she was level 65 or so, my guild disbanded.

Rather than find a new home on Mannoroth, I decided to go ahead and transfer her to Bronzebeard. I'm not really 100% sure why I decided to go through with this since I already had a priest there, but it has allowed me to have one shadow priest and one holy priest on the same realm, which is kind of fun.

Last night, patch 2.4 came out. I did a run of Magister's Terrace where I got 2 DPS upgrades (sigh :P) but I also went around and bought the 5-pc blue pvp set from the reputation vendors. I'm looking forward to giving PvP a shot with some resilience.

I think I prefer Ceres as a 5-man healer, but my druid as a raid healer. I haven't completely decided yet, though. Ceres has been in Karazhan and various heroic instances and 5-mans at this point - probably more heroics than my druid. I really enjoy the ability to fade to discourage enemies, rather than just.. Barkskin and hope for the best. As far as PvP healing goes though, both characters are a total blast.

I'm really interested in going back to a PvP build (heavy disc) and trying out arena again. Last time I did 3v3 with her, it was with 2 hunters, I wasn't disc, and it was just impossible to stay alive... hoping for better next time, especially now that I have resilience! Sitting at about 171 resilience now.

Cerelinde, Night Elf Priest

Cerelinde (once known as Voice, on the Stormrage server) was my third character to hit 60 and my first character (at least first that I actually played with any regularity) on a PvE server.

She leveled as shadow but spent the majority of her time in instances healing. At level 60 I joined a raiding guild. I cleared Molten Core, Zul'Gurub, Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, and Blackwing Lair with them. Due to big time real life issues, I stopped playing her shortly after our first clear of Blackwing Lair, but I missed her a lot, and eventually transferred her to Bronzebeard so I could level her to 70, months after Burning Crusade came out.

But Cerelinde wasn't only a raider - she also was the only character I did any extensive PvP with. Due to raiding on two characters (this one and my hunter, Ceres, on Mannoroth) as well as college and a boyfriend, I never really was able to attain a balance between these things and PvP to get my rank very high - I peaked at Knight-Captain. Regardless, I did regular Warsong Gulch matches with my team - Janson, Krysania, Yodamor, Verithas, Maix - they were only some of my team members and even though I'm now having fun with Cerelinde at 70 on a different server, I still miss you guys :) Even though I didn't play with them for months prior, leaving them was one reason I didn't transfer for so long.

On her way to 70, I mixed up shadow and holy leveling. I was doing instances with my boyfriend for a while, so stuck to Holy for maybe 5 levels, but he "officially" quit WoW (again) and I went shadow and zoomed to 70.

At 70, Cerelinde is my shadow priest, and one of my favorite characters to play in an instance. Even with pretty crap gear I can still dominate the damage meters and feel that I bring plenty of utility - healing in a pinch, shackles, and of course VE and VT. She has more or less left her PvP days behind - I prefer to heal in PvP so my resto druid and my holy priest (neither of whom I've written about just yet) are my preferred PvP characters. I still sport my "Knight Captain" rank proudly though!
