OK, this happened Thursday night. Regulars to the massive WoW thread may remember I posted:

> So I unlocked the Shadow Wardens tonight. Holy shit, if those are the easier dailies, I am not looking forward to the Talon Druid line, not one little bit. That “Enduring the heat” quest drove me up a damn wall. Broke my gear, big repair bill, finally had to google it to learn how to finish the quest.

What I failed to mention was another reason those quests seemed so hard. My spells just weren’t hitting very hard at all. I was doing much lower damage than usual, and just couldn’t seem to figure out why.

So I log on yesterday–on the character that had some much difficulty with those quests, and what do I see? I had my damn fishing pole equipped instead of my weapon. Ran a full set of dailies like that. Was marveling last night at how much easier the quests are when I actually equip my Tol Barad staff :smack:
