Jumping Ship Into Chaos

Sadly, WoW seems to have been losing it's appeal. Most of our Alliance guild has either stopping playing or xferred their characters off server. So the few of us that remain decided to look for a more active guild to join up with. We wanted one that was at about our level of raiding (even though we're not planning on raiding just yet) and wasn't so big that they wouldn't be able to et to know us. So in the end we transferred to <Lunar Chaos> on Alleria. So far seems to be working out well for us.

Break Time's Over

Around the time of my last post something became very apparent: I felt obligated to play WoW.

This had only happened once before, but not nearly as bad. And back then the solution was to only log into vent, but not WoW and I was living alone so WoW was my social outlet. This time around, WoW was not my only social outlet and there was no vent.

I think I was actually getting over WoW, but I missed my toons. Plus, I found out a bunch of my college buddies are now all playing again, albeit on Horde side, but still it was on my Horde server. So I came back to the game. But I came back with a new attitude—I was going to play for me.

Sure I feel left out when Jake is playing all night, I'm not and I see all my friends online. But after talking with Sheltem, we're both kinda of relieved to not have to try and hold a guild together anymore. It's a huge weight lifted. I still wish I was playing on Mirax and Rhysati more than I am, but I don't feel pressured to play if I don't want to.

Time for a Main Change

After four years of playing melee dps I'm kinda fo tired of it as my main spec. Yes, I still love the feeling when I pwn my opponents and I love the new Templar's Verdict annimation. Somehow swinging a sword over my head feels incredibly epic. But it's getting to the same boring old "beat-shit-with-stick" point that it doesn't feel challenging or exciting anymore. Not the way that it used to. My other half is currently loving how snappy Retribution is. He says it feels like Ret did during Wrath, but I don't feel the same sense of pure ownage. Especially without Consecration or Holy Wrath, both of which I used to use as part of my rotations for a good 4 years. This combined with a longing I've been having for my Shaman has made me seriously think about maining the shaman for Mists. Achievements are account wide, I've got my pets, mounts, and Over 9000 already so really the only thing holding me back is the fact that I leveled the paladin to 90 and not the shaman. Additionally, on the horde side I'm going to be leveling a shaman to 90 there and I dont' want to get burnt out on shamanism, but I know I'm going to be asked to heal in raids and right now I think I'd rather be tossing "jeebus beams" than Flashes of Light.

Cheater That I Am

So I've been cheating on Mirax. I've been cheating on the Alliance and my guild. I've been leveling a Horde Shaman, Zorkelle. I rolled a Horde because my friend Ryland plays on Horde side and since he leveled his Alliance DK to run with my Alliance toons I figured I'd level a Horde to run with his Paladin. I've been having fun with it. I've also been leveling my Warlock, Scerra, and I have to say it's really odd not playing a hybrid class. Especially when I get stuck in groups with fail healers and as a lock am doing the most healing =/
