Finally got to play WoW last night..

And.. and..

Well it got boring quick.  I found a bunch of stuff with + shadow damage, and bought it all.  I have heard things like “focus on stats not damage”.. but really, I just want to hurt things.  I noticed a difference already though, so I’m not really sure what the heck is up with those “stats” focus ppl.  Anyway..

So Now as a newly dubbed (and now halfway to 17) 16 lock, I was hammering lvl 20 critters/orcs in Redridge Mountains.  This is another example of how fast I level when grinding with this guy.. Not saying it will always be the case, but I spent less than an hour on and lvl’ed and got halfway to the next one before my rested bonus went bye-bye.  Plus I seem to be collecting “black whelp scales”.  I am pretty sure I have SOMETHING with my main (that does leatherworking) that can use these things, but I haven’t bothered to check yet.  Cash is getting low, so I am thinking it’ll be time to run stockades a couple times a week again.. (sigh)..  lately I have been sending stuff that doesn’t sell at first try to my enchanter to DE.. This has been going relatively well, but I miss that money.. that 30-40s I get for that green crap that drops in stockades.  Why do I miss it?  Well I am almost always the poorest guy playing at any given time.. why.. Probably because on my main.. I only get warrior drops.  And he is the farm guy right now.. crap mail, and an occassional crap plate, that nobody really wants.  My pally can/will use this kind of stuff.. but right now he’s standing at goldshire doing.. nothing.   Can’t help but think that eventually the lock will be a better “farmer” since as a 16 he kills 20’s and 21’s.  Stands to reason that as you go on enemies get harder, but my skills should increase.

With turning 16, I got.. dut dut dut DAAAA.. Instant cast corruption.  Which means, I am now going to dump some points in destruction for the shadowbolt increases.  I have been trying to do the “drain tanking” thing.. and its okay, but I like the kerboom life drop of htting someone with a shadowbolt.  plus if I read the talent description right, it increases shadow damage for x amt of seconds after a crit or something like that.  I am just PILING on the shadow damage.. if I find a warrior who is like a bigillion in shadow resist, I’m a dead gnome.. period.

Next milestone is 18, when I get the soulstone and stop caring about getting killed.  Well it will be cool to see anyway, I’ve never been rez’ed or anything like that outside of a BG, so this will definately be a cool thing.  I also get another fire based spell that is good.. well it seems good anyway.  30 yard range, and I think 1.5 cast time.. so really fast.. and can burn mages at a distance..

Mcgoo, out.
