Cross-realm dungeon finder = awesome

Along with pretty much everyone else who plays World of Warcraft, I am ecstatic with the new Cross-realm dungeon finder tool. Since this tool has went live, I've been doing more dungeons in a day than I used to in a week. With my limited play schedule, it often made it difficult for me to find a group for a dungeon except on Fridays and even then unless we already had a healer, and myself as a tank, we usually spent a good deal of time flying between dungeons, deciding which ones to do, looking for dps/healers, etc.

Now, Friday nights for me can afford usually 4-6 dungeons, 2 Emblems of Frost guaranteed, 3-5 emblems per dungeon, plus the 2 extra emblems for each random done after the first, coming out to 20-42 emblems, depending on the runs.

Myself, I've replaced several pieces of gear and started to bring my level of tanking on par with some of the other well geared and well worn tanks on our server. Being as our guild hasn't been able to do raids as a guild in some time(something I'm trying desperately to change), raiding is still something I enjoy a lot and would love to get back into, if nothing else but to see Arthas fall and who takes over the Lich King's duties.

Others in my guild have seen a surge in gear as well. My supervisor and resident glass howitzer has seen an increase in DPS and recently hit a personal burst DPS record of over 7k. We've been forced to relearn how to do certain fights, such as Prophet Tharon'ja in DTK. It has forced us to be better players and do things differently than we were used to at times.

I have no complaints and hope the tool only gets better, though I'm not sure how this is possible really.

Got something to ask or add? Leave it below!
