Our guild is planing on 10 man stuff since we are a casual guild more than raiding guild altho that seems to be changing this time round.<BR/><BR/>So I have to rather rush for my gear to earn my dps spot in our progression group. Rather scary, since I feel like I am a rather mediocre mage, but cannot play any other class. But at least i am consistent dps wise.Brethlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220984148406878964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-2656895018854516312008-12-02T18:37:00.000+01:002008-12-02T18:37:00.000+01:00I have never done anything glorious for milestone ...I have never done anything glorious for milestone dings.

For me there's a deadline. Reaching 80 is essential, but I also need to be prepared for raiding gearwise. I love raiding, but it certainly puts a bit of stress on you if your gaming time is somewhat limited. Still I guess you've got a few choices to make yourself. Your choice is about what's fun to do.. mine is too, but also about how-to-prepare-the-best-way-for-raiding.<BR/><BR/>@Gevlon: oh, I can't help envying you a bit about all the gold and gear you've collected. You're really a master in gold making, and I admire you for that. Still I guess I'm well off too having a nice, well working raiding guild which I sincerely think will last for a very long time and will remain my home. That's a jewel you can't buy for any gold in the world. So I don't complain.<BR/><BR/>@Wtfspagetti: thank you! Sorry about putting silly ideas into your head, especially since I wasn't caught by the ding-with-style bug myself.<BR/><BR/>@Esdras: getting the mount at 77 is a huge help. And the xp demand doesn't increse as much as it did in TBC, so the last few levels weren't really bad. I've got no idea how long it will take me to full epic gear. It took me at least over 6 months in TBC, probably more, I don't remember. Time will show if it will be quicker here.<BR/><BR/>@Dragon's Den: if you haven't already done it, perhaps you should save that funny dress-up-like-a-murloc-quest for this occasion? Wouldn't it be lovely to ding, running around in that suit?<BR/><BR/>@Ixobelle: welcome to our little pub, I hope you'll feel at home! I have actually sneeked into your blog a couple of times, following links from Alt Fanatic. I'd better come around to put you on my blogroll so I remember to read all of your posts, because they're really worth reading, I love your style and the fact that you're not afraid to write LONG posts.<BR/><BR/>Levelling up I kept thinking - maybe I should try an aoe frost spec to speed up a bit - but I turned up sticking to non-aoe-ing fire spec, since I was too lazy to adapt a new technique.<BR/><BR/>@2ndNin: thank you. I'm not rolling yet. Three heroic instances completed so far. But I guess I'll get up the speed eventually. It's all about finding a working group and then sticking to it, then you can make three or four after each other. That makes a lot of badges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-62991727709038399492008-12-02T13:59:00.000+01:002008-12-02T13:59:00.000+01:00I must admit to making a vanity 80 ding.Though mor...I must admit to making a vanity 80 ding.<BR/><BR/>Though more for getting to say "I want this nightmare to be over" then dinging than any particular location.<BR/><BR/>Good luck in heroics Lar, soon you too will be rolling in those silly badges :P.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18415648946567949701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-85832147995174796352008-12-02T12:53:00.000+01:002008-12-02T12:53:00.000+01:00First time reader, followed a link from Tobold's. ...First time reader, followed a link from Tobold's. <BR/><BR/>he whole 'don't want my XP to be overly complicated near 80' hit a chord.<BR/><BR/>I specced my lock to a specfic spec that will allow me to just gather up 20 mobs, and AoE everything down, and the first 80 in the world was a lock using this same spec.<BR/><BR/>I tried it for an hour or so, and while impressive, it took the fun out of the game and went too far in that extreme mentioned above.<BR/><BR/>I've been questing, and while any time I need to kill a mob, I usually just pull 12, I feel like just grinding out my last level in this fashion alone would be ... I dunno... gross. The option is always there, but for now I'm not in a huge rush for that last ding.<BR/><BR/>Wrath isn't going anywhere, no need to hurry up and wait for the next one already ;)Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024497755617725448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-13715238932525698892008-12-02T12:31:00.000+01:002008-12-02T12:31:00.000+01:00Hey ..gratz Larisa.Now you've set me thinking.

Unfortunately for me my guild is made up of people who live in the same city as me and not a raiding guild. It looks like PvP is going to be my default end game... that and heroics. <BR/><BR/>I am still trying to think of a way to make my level 80 ding something that is at least amusing. No ideas yet.Funeralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589014144738003907noreply@blogger.com
