Ad now for something completely different…

My little Druid is up to 34 now, officially making her my highest alt (she finally surpassed my hunter/bank), and it’s almost to the point where I’ll have to actually start caring about my spec. I’m not that crazy about Feral, as I’m pretty used to casting, but from what I’ve seen, Balance is really inefficient in terms of mana. I realize Moonkin form adjusts this a bit, but the concern is still there, especially considering that I’ve been wearing caster gear to stack Int. for the last few levels (having outgrown running around in Cat form), and the amount of leather gear aimed at boosting mana seems to be minimal. I’m also beginning to notice what a pain it is to level on a low-population server. I leveled Raizi back on a higher server before TBC. Rococo leveled (at least at the beginning) on my old server, and then leveled the rest of the way just after TBC, when there was an influx of traffic. Laika leveled for a while during the post-TBC frenzy, and then I took a break from her, until finally returning a bit later, but there had been enough players around to PUG instances in her early days, and by the time I returned to her, well, she was a ‘lock, so needing a group to take down elites wasn’t that necessary.It’s just struck me now that I’ll be in a zone, and there will only be three of us. Forget doing actual instance runs. I usually end up begging the Mister to run me through something because it really is that much easier. As much as I hate it, I also feel like I’ve paid my dues, having legitimately run instances with three different characters. It’s not like I don’t know the game mechanics, or the boss fights (BLADES OF LIGHT!!!) or the layout of each dungeon. Plus, who wants to wait three hours to amass five people? Not me. I hope they open us up to transfers soon (incoming, that is). 

 

Ding!

My little lock is now up to 70, as of this morning around 1:30. I’m fairly pleased. The other day, I respecced her to Affliction, as I’m planning on doing some BGs for a while. I haven’t BGed Laika in a while, nor has she PVPed as Affliction, so this could be rather fun. It could be nice to be on the other side of a near insta-death.

My next project is my Druid, who is currently sitting at 24 in TB. She’s Balance right now, and I think I’ll stick with that. Moonkin form appeals to me.

Randomly, the Rampage battle group had almost 13 hours of downtime today. Here’s hoping it fixes all of the bugs and lag.
