Level 72

Okay, this time around it was a lot fast. Maybe due to the fact that whatever they are brewing up at Vengeance Landing, I caught it in real life and got to stay home most of the day.

So major changes in the looks category. I stuck going with all gear that boosted my Spell Damage, and while lost out on some health and mana, boosted my Spell Damage a decent amount.

As for Howling Fjord, it’s done…at least I think it is. I did a round robin and the only quest I could find that I had left was Utgarde Keep so maybe I’ll try to get a group for that one then check around again.

Currently sitting in Borean Tundra and man is that place busy. HF was a quite calm zone while BT is running amok with fights and battles. It’s crazy!

Level 71

 Okay a little time on the update but these new levels take forever!

So level 71…nothing new in the outfit catagory except maybe a new cloak… and a redo of the talents. I am offically Demonology again, quite fun actually, just to get through a majority of the leveling in Northrend and breeze through the group quests solo style.

The Fel Synergy talent ( the one that heals your pet for the damage you do) is a very nice addition since the last time I was Demonology. I can pump out some major DPS as 21/50 specced and keep him up on multiples easily by spreading the dots around.

I have found my love of the class all over again and sya “Begone!” to those crying over supposed changes coming in 3.1.

I was here before the changes with The Burning Crusade and before, I’ll still be here after 3.1, as will many long time Warlock lovers out there.

Now back to leveling…

Warlock Tier 8

 So can you say “Holy Shit!” ?

I can, and that’s just what I said when I saw this picture at MMO Champion.

Now on a Human male it looks kind of off, but that’s what you get for going Human. Undead is where the “Hawt Sex Look” comes in but we can talk about that later.

That set looks amazing and hopefully I can get my rotting ass into leveling mode some time this century so I can possibly fill a spot on a run and maybe get some of that gear.

When RL Calls…Hang Up!

No really.

Here I am back in the game and looking forward to LEVELING and getting into the new content and I have yet to hit the first level into Northrend.

Why?

Real Life…

It’s hard to have a hobby that you really like and not be able to do that hobby due to things not under your control. I know family and all comes first, but when you have a goal of getting a damn proto-drake and a flying carpet..RL needs to take a damn number!

The Hold Up

So lately I have been trying to get acquainted with my self on how things work as an Affliction Warlock. Changes, and lots of them, have come around and sort of changed how everything works now.

Corruption is now instant cast, the new top tier talent is a Direct Damage AND a heal, and over all the components of Affliction are so awesome I don’t know why everyone is off running to the Death Knight (FotM for sure!).

So I am get back into the swing of things and trying to get the handle of using the Felhunter over the Imp as a pet ( still running my own tests on that). Trying to figure out the whole stats now that Spirit is somewhat useful for us, and just getting down to business as usual.

I think the biggest hold up is the jump in required experience for levels. I have lost count of the number of quests I have down around Howling Fjord, but I am still not 71 yet. Maybe tonight I can step out of that Burning Crusade level cap and into the Northrend leveling curve…

Fashion Maven

Okay so here I go into the great wide zone known as Northrend. New continent, new mobs, new dungeons and the expectation of new gear.

So I post this now to reference back to my level 70 days of the gear I had before venturing out into Northrend and acquiring thus new gear. I am sure, after remembering what the new stuff started looking like in Burning Crusade, that I will look like a rotted corpse from the early 50’s if the gear looks anything similar to how it did back in early BC.

Let’s hope that Blizzard learned their lesson and realize that super supreme evil Warlocks do not like dressing up like clowns. We despise clowns…dare I say LOATHE clowns…

Holy Cow!

 Okay so I left for awhile..okay a few months. I did come back though..and I came back to the old favorite…Poxus.

Man hve things changed. All my talents are screwed up right now after going through what I thought was agood build only to see it isn’t after the fact.

The trip to Northrend was fun. I went to Borean Tundra first and while the Nerubians are my favorite species from the RTS game…I had to go Undead and go there first.

More to come.

Affliction a Go-Go

Can we get some Affliction loving?

Wait, what?

We Did?

Beta?

Oh hell yes!

That’s right you Warlock, evil loving, purveyors of mass sustained situational DPS, Affliction Warlocks officially kick some butt in Beta.

Been in the PTR myself to work on the talents and the meshing of all those Dots, Direct Damage and Draining death dealing spells we have. I have seen the dark side and it is filled with you evil bastards! Get ready, our time to shine is coming and it will be glorious!

I’ll have a more complete coverage of what I am going on about after a few trips this weekend through a few dozen creatures and share my joy with you all.

Passing the Time

I am not worried about progression or any of the sorts at the moment. I run 2 weekly raids with the guild and those are Kara fun runs. I am not actively trying to hoard gear for the coming Xpac. I am not out farming mats for my Death Knight alt (Lichenstien!), although I might at another time. I am currently relaxing and waiting.

There is no need to rush to do things. I am almost leveled out in my secondary professions (fishing/cooking) and just trying to take it slowly and enjoy the calm right now. I am trying out things on the PTR though, and Affliction is a very fun build but I need to do more to test Haunt out.

I am looking forward to trying the Metamorphosis spell out later this week. I liked Demonology while I was specced that way and wouldn’t mind seeing how it has changed. So nothing new going on, just relaxing and enjoying my time.

It’s Time

Or should I say it is about time. I finally got my professions maxed. Both Alchemy and Herbalism have been maxed to 375. One of my goals have been met and now it is time to move onto the others.

I am still working on Alchemy though as I need to finish my Elixer quest (just need the Black Morass runs) and then working towards some shiny Alchemy specific trinkets. I need the Sha’tar rep and the Sunwell rep but neither of them should take me long to get hopefully.

I started on my Cooking and Fishing too to try and get them maxed somewhat soon. After that I just have to farm dailies to gather up some gold, and maybe get an epic flyer before Wrath comes out. Would be nice but not too worried about that at the moment, just the others.

So far life has been good after my transfer to Cairne. I got into my old Shaman’s guild again, got to raid in Kara some and just having a decent time. I can not complain and finally feel like I am in a good, fun place in this game once again.
