My WoW life and other interesting tidbits.

Yup, one more 80

*sigh* Another one?

*sigh* Another one?

I swear, I’m taking a levelling break.  Even I’m bored with putting 80s in my toon collection box.  This actually happened a few days ago, but work has been busy and the baby hasn’t been sleeping, so time to do anything outside of those is minimal.

This one is a bit special for me.  This is my toon that I’ve totally levelled up on the Alliance site and in The Other Side guild.  I actually have a Horde druid who raided some T7 and now just sits dormant on another server.  I was tempted to faction transfer him over, but I was so close to 80 already (75 at the time faction transfers came out) that I didn’t bother.

What’s interesting is that I’m trying Boomkin as my alternate spec along with my Tree spec that I love so dearly.  Boomkin has an advantage over Feral for me for two reasons.

1. Less bag space wasted because you have a big gear overlap

2. Can actually do decent AOE damage on heroic trash.  It’s amazing how useless you can feel on 3 and 4 mob pulls.

I’ve only ran an instance or two so far, but I’m liking it.  I actually haven’t healed at all yet, even though I’m totally setup and gearing for it.  Until I feel my healing gear can compete, I’m PUGging as a DPS and rolling on the heal-y gear (of course, I’m asking first).  I figure a week or two of that, and I should be in good shape to heal heroics and T7 again.  I can’t wait.

Otherwise, I’m just running dailies for the time being.  I want to get at least honored with Hodir for the shoulder enchant and will probably stop doing it after that.  I just can’t be bothered grinding those dailies…  they’re pretty terrible.  I’m finding that I’m actually caring about this toon, as opposed to my hunter.  If it wasn’t for all the achievement points on Cila, I’d seriously consider making a change on mains.  I love the idea of being useful in 2 of the 3 main roles… something I don’t get on my warlock or my hunter.

Another 80 in the Stable

WoWScrnShot_101209_211922.jpg-1Breylyn, my hunter, has finally hit 80. It was actually a little frustrating at the end, to be honest. 79 was a very quick level, which was a first for me. Usually 79 might as well be two levels. I generally do it in Storm Peaks, but I dinged in Zul’Drak, so went to the Basin instead.

Armed with my trusted Tour Guide, I proceeded to run through Sholazar as quickly as possible. I’ve never done Sholazar as far as I did this time around, and it was pretty enjoyable… and then with 5% left, I hit Returned Sevenfold. This quest is REALLY hard for a hunter to do. Unfortunately, it was the only quest I could do in Sholazar, so I attempted it 4 times before giving up.

With nothing else to do, I had to head off to start Icecrown for my last 5%. This took about 10 minutes.

I immediately went to Stormwind, got my dual spec, and talented up my second spec. I decided to go with the most popular Survival spec out there, the 0/15/56. I grabbed all the proper glyphs (Explosive Shot, Kill Shot, Serpent Sting, Feign Death, Revive Pet and Mend Pet) and some 80 blues off of the AH.

I then went to Crystalsong, tamed myself a 78 Sinewy Wolf, specced him with a solid PVE spec and was on my way.

I was ready to go and run an instance to figure out this new spec and see what kind of DPS I could do… but no one in the guild was on so I was stuck just logging off and going to bed.

*sigh*

I’ll let you know of my progress with Survival. It should be fun to learn something new.
