3.1 has been alive for a week and 3.1.1 is dropping today. I have been busy preparing for a major upcoming conference where I will give a talk. In the past couple weeks and I have more or less neglected this blog. For people who find my thoughts interesting my apologies.
I don't generally do character updates on this blog. But today I am going to make an exception and indulges myself on a few fleeting thoughts.
I am somewhat overwhelmed by the amount stuff I need to do in the game at this point. I have a lot of toons in development and only very limited amount of time to spend (before incurring massive wife aggro).
Here are a brief update on my latest passions for each of my major characters:
Priest
Duel spec is so much fun! I picked my second spec for him on the first day! I was really surprised that he can dish out close to 1500 dps unbuffed on his healing gear (a mixture of PvP and Naxx 10). Although he won't win any DPS contest, this kind of DPS output is more than sufficient for any questing/instance needs. I have forgotten what independence felt like on him. Now finishing quest is a breezy I have started to run all the high level quests in zones like Icecrown that I have skipped over.
The argent tournament is also a nice addition. I haven't had time to complete the quest chain to start championing yet. I get the Valiant later today and move so h ecan move to the next part of the quest chain. There is already a cool purple dagger I have my eyes for a cool 15 champion's seals.
Fishing daily is another daily quest I am having a great time with. In addition to the gold/rep I get from it I have picked up a nice little additions such as a pet and some grey yet nice looking hat for my bank alts.
Hunter
I want the new spirit beast as from Zul'Drake! Unfortunately she isn't easy to find. My hunter has been hovering over Zul'Drake for the past week. I login briefly each day to check around the zone to see if I can spot Gondria. No luck yet!
I don't expect the hunter to develop in any significant way until I get this new pet. Since my priest can DPS now she will probably stay parked for the foreseeable future.
Warrior
2 Bubbles from 80. Yeah! Now I have to get ready to gear him up to tank Heroic and Naxx. I imagine he will be very expensive to gear tank generally are. Thank goodness my reserve funds which is almost back to a comfortable leve after the purchasing of the third epic flying mount.
On a sidenote my funding level has been helped by a windfall in Inscription. Duel spec has been a great boon for scribes. Rare glyphs were selling like hot cakes and fetching between 30-40 gp each. I was wise enough to stock up herbs and glyphs before the expansion and flipped them into AH during the first couple days. Conservatively I have made between 500-700 gp profit. Not too shabby. Unfortunately nothing last forver, now most glyph have fallen back to their original prices. Back to flipping white recipes for small profits.
Paladin
My paladin is 44. I only play him with my best friends. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. When he arrived at his mailbox waiting for him was a set of 4 mooncloth bags and 200 gp neatly stacked in his first message. He has the best of everything money can buy. Before he ran any instance he had the best BoE blues from the AH. When he started to blacksmithing the hunter would go run around badlands and farm ore for him to smelt. For a while there were no blue weapons at his level on sale on the AH. As result the priest would ran wintergrasp daily so he could accomulate enough wintergrasp marks to get heirloom sword for him. Decked out in blues and browns, my paladin can solo handle 6-8 mobs at his level. That is what you get for maximum pimpage. He is the last toon I will level so I will be going all going all out for him.
My best friend, his wife, and I are running 1 classic instance per week with just three of us. So far we have blew through SM and Ulda in about a hour each. This week on the menu is ZF.
