Haven't posted in 4 months. Took a little time off WoW for a while, but started back up about a month ago. Don't play every night, but probably a few times a week. I've finished leveling my Mage to 30 which was a boring process. The Mage is one of my least favorite characters, but I grinded and finally got it done.
Next was my Warlock. I quickly got him up to 30 in Duskwood and the Wetlands. I really enjoyed playing my Warlock. I like the mechanics behind the life drain, life tap and soul drain. If I used those abilities appropriately then there was very little down time.
I guess since I was really enjoying the pet class I went ahead and moved to my Hunter instead of going to my dismall Druid. I'm working in Redridge now with my Hunter and have leveled to 22 so far. Althought he mechanics are different I'm still enjoying the Hunter class. There is very little down time and I can take on quite a few mobs at once.
One other note I would like to mention is I've been reading up on Cataclysm and the changes that will take place. I'm very excited about the additional flight points and the streamlining of the leveling process. It appears that the different zones now are specific to 5 levels instead of some zones overlapping. For example right now I've been following this recipe:
Elwynn Forest
Westfall
Redridge
Duskwood
Wetlands
Stranglethorn
It would be really nice to take out the Wetlands from this equation and I think that is what Cataclysm will do. The Wetlands is just too far away for me. Once I get done with Duskwood, I would like to just go to Stranglethorn. Right now though it's too difficult to go there when I'm about level 27 or 28 after completing Duskwood.
I can't wait for Cataclysm to come out. With the new class/race changes I may restart some of my non-human toons. I believe the Druid is the only one that cannot be Human. For some reason I'm partial to Humans. :)

Check Point - 3/30/2010
Thought I would post a blog about how I enjoy the different classes. I've played them all (except Death Knight) to at least level 20, which I know isn't that high, but I felt like letting you know how much I liked or disliked the classes during the early stages of the game.
Paladin
The Paladin was my very first roll when I started WoW over a year ago. To tell you the truth I didn't much like the Paladin in the early levels (I think up to 20) because I thought the mechanics (judgement, seals, etc.) was confusing. The whole game was new to me at the time so I think the Paladin was just too challenging for me. That is why I rerolled to something easier, the Rogue, which I will get to next. I also didn't like the fact that I couldn't pull mobs to me because there was no range weapon or spell that I could use.
I then started playing him again to level to 30 and got the Exorcism spell which solved the pull issue. I also began to understand the mechanics of using the Paladin and in fact I really started enjoying the class. I love having a strong spell for pulling in mobs and also being able to melee with the mobs. After the fighting is done, all I have to do is heal myself. A very self sufficient class. Especially since they can also wear heavy armor. Right now this is one of my favorite classes, although if I do end up pulling to many mobs, I tend to die rather quickly. I have to time my heals right.
Rogue
This, I suppose, would be my main character although he's only 4 levels higher than my second alt. I rolled him second because I thought it would be an easier class. I wouldn't say that the rogue is easy to play but it was nice to have something different than the Paladin at the time. I'm not much of a stealth guy as I felt it took to long to move around. But I did use it if I was going up against multiple mobs. I really liked dual wielding and also the poisons. After leveling the Rogue for quite a while though, I got burned out. It seemed like I was doing the same thing over and over again so that's why I rolled again.
Warrior
My 3rd character and he is almost to 30. At first I didn't care too much for the mechanics of the Warrior, but I have learned over the past month to really enjoy it. It is becoming really easy to kill multiple mobs, even if they are higher level than myself. All it is is charge, rend, block, revenge, thunder clap, and so forth. The only bad thing is I have to use bandages quite a bit, but lately that hasn't been the case. I may fight 3 mobs at once and then after they are dispatched I look down at my hp and only about 10-20% is gone. That's basically filled up by the time I get to the next group of mobs. I'm really enjoying my Warrior.
Mage
My Mage is my 4th character and I rolled him because I wanted to try out the true caster class which I rarely do when playing rpg games for some reason. I haven't played my mage in several months as he is next on my list to level to 30 once the Warrior is done. But, I think I remember enjoying the mechanics behind the mage. I would frost the mobs and then hit them with spells until they were dead. Created my own food and water so didn't take long to recoup between fights. I look forward to getting back to my Mage this week (maybe tonight even).
Warlock
For my fifth character I wanted to try out a pet class. I was really wanting to stay human as I knew the starting area better so I went with the Warlock instead of the Hunter. My warlock is at 23 right now and I actually really enjoy playing this class as well. The Void Walker as the tank is very nice. It makes it pretty simple to level with the Warlock. It is difficult sometimes to manage the Void Walker and make sure he doesn't pick up too many mobs. Although when this happens you can simply start high tailing it away, because once a couple of mobs focus on you, you're in big trouble with only cloth armor. I can't wait to get back to this class as well.
Druid
For my sixth character I decided I wanted some new scenery so I went with the Night Elf Druid. Ugh. This is my least favorite character. I've already played a Mage which is basically what the Druid is in regular form, just a lot less powerful. I had already played the Warrior, which is the bear form, but with a lot less options. I just got the cat form at level 20, or maybe I have to do some quest for it first, not sure, but since I have already played the Rogue it seems like it would pretty much be the same but with less options, like bear form was. Maybe it will be better, I'm not sure. I tried to play the Druid in Bear form but it was so darn boring. I thought regular form was at least a little interesting, but unfortunatly I died a lot because my spells were not that powerful. I know a lot of people like the Druid but I just haven't found anything to like yet. Hopefully it gets better, but I'm not looking forward to leveling him to 30 when the time comes around.
Priest
After the Druid I wanted to come back to the Human lands so I rolled a Priest for my seventh character. I didn't think I would like the Priest much so that is why he's my last human character. Something about healing didn't excite me too much. But when I started playing I actually grew to enjoy it. It was nice to hit mobs and be able to have some powerful heals to keep you alive. The only problem was the mana drain. I have to stack up a lot of juices and take breaks between fights. He's at level 20 right now so I look forward to seeing how he does on the way to 30 in the next couple of months.
Shaman
The next character I was just trying to get one of the last classes in. So number eight was the Shaman. I wasn't too excited about using totems and even after leveling to 20, I'm still not that excited about them. They're ok I suppose but they annoying as well. I suppose the good thing about the Shaman is that he can survive since he's not too squishy like other caster classes. The Shaman never really excited me that much.
Hunter
The final character (since I don't have a DK yet) was my Hunter. Not sure why I left him for last, mostly because I couldn't get a Human Hunter. I wish I didn't wait so long though, because I really enjoyed leveling my hunter to 20. Much like the Warlock, it's great to have a tank out there while you sit back and shot your gun or bow and arrow. It's really simple to play the Hunter and leveling is a breeze. I can't wait to get back to him.
In order, this is how I would rank the classes (from worse to best):
9. Druid
8. Shaman
7. Rogue
6. Priest
5. Mage
4. Warlock
3. Warrior
2. Hunter
1. Paladin
So I suppose Paladin wins out so far, but it may just be because I've just played him recently. We'll see if my feeling change in my next check point blog.

I played my Druid last night, but skipped the leveling of my skills and went directly to just leveling my character. I spent a couple hours around Redridge and got half-way to level 19. I really dislike my Druid. His mana goes too fast and once that's gone his health goes fast as well. Maybe I have the wrong gear for him..... I will play again tonight, but if my wife plays then I'll be playing my Warlock.

Another long weekend and I was able to get in some more playing time. I finished leveling my Warlock to 20 and bought a new mount. Then I realized that he gets the skill to summon his own special mount...oh well. Next I am supposed to work on my Druid, but I think the Druid is one of my least favorite characters and I really enjoyed playing my Warlock so I went ahead and kept on playing my Warlock instead. I'm currently at level 22 right now. I've got my wife to come back and play as well. She's a level 18 Rogue so I helped her level last night. Maybe I will play my Warlock when I'm playing with her and level my Druid when I'm playing by myself. I'm going to be really busy at work for the next couple of months though so may not get a lot of time to play.

Played a little bit last night. Leveled my first aid to 225 for my Warlock and then started upgrading his gear. Read up a little yesterday on what stats the Warlock is supposed to have and I was doing it the wrong way previously. I was focusing on Intel and Spirit when I should have been focusing on Stamina instead of Spirit. So no I'm changing my gear accordingly and trying to find stuff "of the Eagle" instead of "of the Owl." Some of the items out there are way to expensive though so I've been having to create some stuff with my other alts. So far I've made/bought:
Big Bronze Knife - +3 Stamina
Thick Bronze Necklace - +3 Stamina
Double-Stitched Woolen Shoulders - +5 Stamina
Forest Cloak - +3 Stamina, +2 Intellect
Blue Overalls - +4 Stamina
Greater Magic Wand - just better than the one I had before
The rest of my armor is good enough I believe. I will then need to create 2 rings. Then I should be ready to get to level 20.
I also went ahead and got my Hunter his elephant yesterday since he is already at level 20. I could do the same for my Paladin since he's at level 20 as well but I currently don't have enough gold.

Meet Dotsmadafiv, my Demonology Warlock.....
My Warlock is fairly simple to play as I just sick my minion on the mobs and just pound on him from afar. Here are his stats:Level - 18
Strength - 25
Agility - 28
Stamina - 44
Intellect - 61
Spirit - 60
Armor - 265
Mining - 84
Tailoring - 150
Fishing - 152
Cooking - 150
First Aid - 150
Much like my Mage I've concentrated most of my Warlock's stats in Intellect and Spirit which he is ranked #2 in both. He also makes my bags and cloth armor for my squishy characters. He's ranked #5 overall out of my 9 total characters.

Played a few hours again last night. Quickly leveled my Warlock to 18 in Redridge and got my new skills. I am now working on my Hunter and trying to level his Jewelcrafting. It looks like it's going to be expensive. I was able to get to 100 before it got too late and plus I ran out of money again. I had my Mage sell off all his dusts and shards at the auction house. Hopefully I'll have a lot of money in my mail box tonight. I have to buy a lot of bronze or silver bars to level up quickly. Looks like pretty soon I'll be needing iron and gold bars as well. I'm sure those costs an arm and a leg. This looks like it's going to be a long process. Oh well, the things I can create look pretty helful although they are for levels that look much higher than most of my characters.

Played a few hours last night and got a lot accomplished. Got about 27 gold from selling my copper and rocks the previous day so was easily able to finish gearing up my Warlock for his quest to level 18. Once I was geared up I went to Westfall and finished up the rest of the quests in the area which was the Defias quests up until escorting the traitor and then the lighthouse quests. I really hate Murlocs. I only died once when I was trying to get back to the lighthouse and turn in my final quest. I was tired of skirting around all the murlocs and got too close to a bunch of them. They froze me and took me and my minion. The beach is packed with mobs and it is difficult to get just one at a time and if you're not careful you'll net 3 or 4 on you and that's certain death if you're only level 16.
Anyway, I was about halfway between level 17 and 18 and it was about 12:30 am so I had to shut it down for the night. I should be able to play tonight and go over to Redridge and start questing to get to level 18. Then I'll start up my Hunter, Dotsmadanin, again and go through leveling everything up for him. I'm not too excited about leveling cooking, first aid and fishing, but I am excited about leveling jewelcrafting. Right now I'm only at level 69 so I'm interested to see what new items I'll learn on the way to 150 and be able to outfit all my alts with their new rings and whatnot.

Played for a couple of hours last night. Ran around Elwynn forest to level up my mining for my Warlock and sold the copper bars in the auction house as I ran out of money which I was using to buy supplies so I can do my enchants. Right now I'm done enchanting my equipment so my next step is to make some Elixirs. My Priest is my alchemist but he doesn't have all the herbs to create the Elixirs my Warlock needs and he's too low of a level to gather (16) so I have to purchase them from the auction house or have my Rogue (lvl 34) go collect. It takes to much time for my Rogue to get them, so I've decided to just buy them. Their expensive and I've run out of gold so that's why I'm selling my copper bars at the auction house. They're going for 4-5 gold per stack so that's pretty nice and I think I put about 4 or 5 stacks out there. Hopefully they've all sold when I start playing tonight, then I should have plenty of money to finish uprgrading my gear for my Warlock. I will also need to make some scrolls with my Mage and probably a couple of armor kits. Here's what I need to do:
Make 4 Elixirs of Wisdom
Make 8 Scrolls of Spirit II
Make 2 Medium Armor Kits
Make Major Glyph of Corruption
Make Minor Glyph Drain Soul
After all this then I can level my Warlock up to 18.

Played a little bit over the weekend. Only had a chance to level my first aid to 150 and buy new gear for my Warlock from the auction house. Now I'm in the process of enchanting my new gear and getting all the potions and whatnot that I need so my Warlock will be ready to level up to 18. I recently switched one of my professions for my Warlock to mining, so I'm currently running around Elwynn Forest tryign to raise my mining level a little. Maybe I'll just make one or two trips. Not too much. Not sure if I'll be able to play tonight. It depends on if the newborn lets me put him down. It's hard to play WoW while holding a baby.

Finally played again last night, but not very long. I got my Warlock's fishing up to 150, so now I'm working on getting my first aid up to 150. Maybe I'll play some tonight.

Didn't play as much as I thought I would this weekend. Worked on cleaning out the garage on Saturday and it was mother's day on Sunday so went with the wife to see Star Trek (pretty good movie btw) and watched the Rockets beat up on the Lakers. I only played a little on Friday night and that time was spent leveling up my fishing for my Warlock, which wasn't by much. I think I might have gotten it up to 95, so I have a ways to go. Another player just gave me a parrot and 3 gold for nothing which was really cool. This was my first pet for any of my characters. Haven't really tried to get pets before. Goes to show you, some people in WoW are really nice. Maybe I'll play a little tonight.

Daily Blog - April 8, 2009
Sorry, I haven't blogged the last couple of days, I've been fighting a cold. I stayed home from work the last couple of days so I played a little WoW, but not too much. Just didn't feel like doing much. One thing I would like to mention before I talk about WoW is:
I HATE KOBE BRYANT
This guy is an arrogant pompous ass! Anything and everything he does is self-serving.
Had to get that off my chest. Anyway, over the past couple of days I finished working on my Mage. I upgraded my armor added enchants, created scrolls and elixirs and went out and leveled my Mage to 18 through the Lighthouse quests in Westfall and also some delivery/collection quests in Redridge. My Frost Mage is pretty easy to use in combat, but I did die a couple of times. When a couple of Murlocks my level or higher get a hold of me then I start having some trouble. Especially when they can use frost to stop me in my tracks as well.
After leveling my Mage to 18 I moved on to Dotsmadafiv, my Demonology Warlock. I upgraded my cooking to 150 pretty quick since I had a lot of fish caught from my other characters. I am currently working on leveling fishing to 150 and then will also work on First Aid. My Warlock is a tailor, but I have already increased that skill to 150.
Should play quite a bit this weekend and should have another blog entry on Monday. Go
Rockets!!!!
