Arise from the ashes

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Like the great Phoenix, my incredibly insignificant level 6 gnome warlock has become my new main for the time being. He is almost not equipped at all.

But it is he that will make me the moolah. Okay so maybe the Phoenix was a bit overstated, but still.. The person I run with the most in WoW has decided to stop his progress as he is wanting to practice more with his main warrior in PvP. In doing this he wants to have an alt he is leveling.

My choices were pretty simple really. He comes with 2 friends from a premier guild that will probably be so ridiculously well equipped as I will feel like poop. So, lets go with the averages…

He’s going to be an ice mage..

Buddies are priest/shaman..

That leaves the roll of the tank (SO not something I can handle), and support really. I don’t have much use for frost mages as I seem to always get out of their frost attacks (except the bolt that slows me.. but as my main is a hunter, slow doesn’t matter to me). He assures me that this is a big deal, and showed me a horde frost mage’s character sheet that proves he’s right. So.. Mage/priest/shaman.. I have been a hunter before, so I’d prefer not to do that. I have a shaman (13), Mage(fire)(15), and Palladin(13) already in the “mix”. I also have a lvl 5 druid, and a lvl 7 rogue (nelfs). But I was forgetting someone..

Mcgoo.

He’s my warlock AH mule I have had in IF since I started my main on lvl 19 and started getting a ton of crap I didn’t want. he’s in all greys.. nothing special going on with this guy at all.

In reality I think the druid would be a better choice since if his buddies aren’t around I can do bear form and do some tanking, or some healing if need be. Honestly though.. leveling a druid before getting bear/cat form is just PAINFUL for me. Why? I dunno.. It seems my druid is not necessarily GOOD at anything at this point. Better long run? yeah. But that warlock gets a free mount.. but the druid gets travel form.. so still hard to compete against free mount. Any advice?

Guilds..
