About a bubble away from dinging 76. Now that I wont be bouncing between characters I will hopefully start to pick up the pace. Pretty certain I will be 80 in time for season 5, hopefully with enough time to work some professions. I’m debating between mining/skinning and mining/herbalism. Probly go with the later. Excited to hit 77 and test out the wicked aoe spot in the latest Doomcaster vid. I am sure I will die several times getting it down, but hopefully I can level like a mofo. Enough blabbing, its pouring like a faucet out and I got leveling to do!

With all the back and forth about which spec I was going to do on my druid for Wrath, my mage slowly started making its way into most of my game time. It wasnt long before my mage actually passed my druid, and the new back and forth was whether or not to keep my druid as my main, or to dub my mage the numero uno. As hard as it is bump my druid down to alt status, I really am enjoying my mage and excited about learning to play it better in pvp. Tho I still plan to play my druid regularly, I just cant get pumped about trying to make it work in arena with an odd setup. I may even go back resto once Mooyagi reaches 80 and pair up with a rogue or warrior. I think mage/rogue will be a lot of fun on once I get the playstyle down, really I don’t see how anything could be boring on the mage, tho I will admit I hate questing on my mage. Mainly due to all the frost immune mobs i keep running into, but I could really care less about PVE in general.
With that said I will probly even redo the blog to be a little more mage-like. I need to bust out some screenshots for a new banner, right after I peep some term life insurance.
I have been having some pretty wicked lag since the expansion, so when the free transfer from Mug’thol to Chromaggus came up I tried to get some of my friends to transfer with me. Noone was really interested, and since it was the same sorry battlegroup I decided to just let it go. After a week or so the lag wasn’t getting any better, it actually seemed to be getting worse, so when I saw the free transfer from Mug’thol to Drak’tharon I decided I was going regardless if anyone came with me. Luckily Tyler took the bait and we prepared to move our chars, no moving companies, just a quick cancel on all our auction items and cleaning out our mailboxes.
My connection is easily twice as good to the new server, tho it may just be due to the low population of the server. At first I was put off by just how empty the server was, but I soon realized that it allowed for a lot of 1v1 against the other faction. It’s so hard to get in a good fair fight on Mug’thol cause the alliance always travel in big packs.I just hope within the next week or so that a least a few more people will trickle in.
The expansion is just around the corner, and I suppose I am in a pretty decent spot. I got most of the stuff done that I wanted, but I wouldn’t mind grinding out a black wolf mount on one of my characters, and I could use my epic flying skill on my mage. Other than that tho I will probly just chill for the next two weeks, maybe do a little dueling. I plan to level skinning agin (for the third time) but that shouldnt take more than a day to finish. I have been watching some videos after the patch and am growing very jealous of the graphic detail others now have in wow. Makes me want to look into some wholesale electronics for a better computer.
Last night we decided to knock out some hallows eve quests and finally check out the headless horseman. I missed it last year cause I was still leveling my lock and was already boring out on the class. It was pretty fun tho a bit easy, but I did make out like a bandit. In one night I got the broom, 2 rings, and the pumpkin helm. No clue if that’s really any good, but I’m not complaining. I’m also not looking for the best diet pills, but if you are it shouldn’t be hard to find a link to some considering my page is FULL OF THEM! Ah the broom makes it all go away…so free…
With so many changes to a lot of core feral talents and abilities I really got a good taste of how confused I now am of both pve and pvp strats, and really need to take some time to refamiliarize myself with them. I also am having trouble deciding where my points are best spent. I am currently looking at maximizing my shred damage, which will also help out in pve. I think I am only 4 badges short of getting the everbloom idol, which will just be kickass. I did a lot of back and forth and reading on berzerk vs omen of clarity and from what I can tell:
For tanking - less auto attacking to proc omen, rage is no longer an issue = berzerk
For cat pve - lots of auto attacking to proc omen, sustained damage>burst = omen
For pvp - omg burst, lol feared=berzerk
Cooldowns are currently a love/hate situation atm. While I love finally having some cds, I hate waiting on them to ready. I plan on giving rend and tear a whirl tonight, glad I saved up some gold for all this respeccing. Btw could I have any more links related to appetite suppressants? Seriously.
One of my guildies has recently decided to step into the world of prot tanking, and relieve me of my tanking duties. This couldn’t have happened at a better time with my new focus on dps. The best part is that ill never have to worry about a spot once we get him geared up. No more marking targets for me, no sir. I believe he is currently one piece shy of his starter set, which we will most likely finish tonight. Instances are a lot less stressful not having to worry about aggro and marking, and hopefully this will make me more interested in pve, as I need gear something serious. Tier 6 makes my welfares look like wholesale fashion jewelry. =(
I have recently been checking out some of the supposed 3.02 “compatible” mods, and am finding that a good lot of them aren’t really as working as they claim to be. After weeding out a lot of the trouble makers, I am left with a lot mainly mods I have previously used like xperl, bartender, and sct. The thing is tho, in my preperation for this patch and wrath I have grown a bit too comfortable with the default interface. I agree it looks like it could use some weight loss pills, as it covers the majority of the screen. I used to love all the extra info gained by using mods, but I just can’t get used to them now. With more emphasis on keeping bleeds up, I assume I’m just going to have to suck it up and get used to them again, tho I may give it a few more days in hopes that more bugs get ironed out.
My mage is coming along nicely considering how little I play it. I think I’m a bubble away from 66, which I plan on getting in some mage time tonight. For the first time the other day I stepped out of the frost tree and gave arcane a whirl. I wasn’t all the impressed, but I am now realizing just how wrong I was playing it so I’m tempted to give it another shot. The mana regen is hard to turn down, but mainly I want to test it out in some instances. After the last patch mobs are dying so fast I can hardly get off a frostbolt, and my overall dps is a joke, but hey at least I can turn peeps into baby penguins! Playing my mage really bums me out with how low I have to keep my spell detail down. I’ve already maxxed out my computer memory , and wonder whether a new video card would help. I never knew what I was missing till I hopped on my druid and cast Starfall with the detail on high. It’s hard to go back after so many destructive sparklies =(
I hate that they have locked one of the major glyph slots until 80. I had a nice little treo going on PTR, and was not prepared to ditch one when the patch hit. I went with both the Rip and Shred glyphs, as they seemed to be the best buy for feral so far. I let go of my Healing Touch glyph, as in the end it just didn’t seem to be worth it. Maybe I will check it out again at 80, but I really can’t wait to see what other glyphs they have in store after the expansion.
