Ducks in a Row

Like most of you I have been working on lining everything up for the upcoming expansion. Mostly this involves professions. I have settled on levelling my warrior second and will do mostly pvp with him. I am a leatherworker and alchemist on my main toon, the shaman. So to compliment those two professions I am levelling skinning and herbalism on the warrior. This should provide some added side benefits in pvp for the warrior which will get an increase in crit and a self-hot.

I believe patch 3.0 is close to coming live. The pre-bc patch that was released prior to BC was six weeks in advance, I feel like the same timeframe will probably be employed here, save a week or two. I am very interested in trying out the new talents. I hope others are as well. Getting a za run together in heroes has been hard for quite some time now, understandably so. Maybe the new patch will provide some much needed incentive to do that. Have a great week.

Its Freezing up here!

My last several days in game have been spent in the frigid lands of Winterspring. I am grinding out the last bit of reputation for my Frostsaber. This has been a slow and somewhat grueling task. At least for the most part I have good people to talk to on vent or a good show to listen to on the tube.

Overall I have really come to terms with my class and how useful it truly is within PVE raiding. Our totems going raidwide will be a huge buff to shaman utility, in my opinion. As well as the change to "spell power" rather than damage vs. healing pieces. This will allow me to heal effectively as well. There is a chance I will be going enhancement to maximize our raid setup. I was asked if I were open to this idea and I most certainly was (provided enh shamans in beta are corrected). Windfury numbers are just plain fun to see explode over an npc's head. However I do still enjoy the shaman pew pew and caster utility elemental brings to the raid. But I am totally commited to seeing all the content possible in the next expansion.

On the pvp front, I still would like to get involved a little more in the coming weeks, especially in the arena. I will probably grind out honor on my warrior and shaman both.

Decisions

Well, I have had alot of decisions to make both personally, professionally and in game! 

On the personal/professional side of things. I sold a farm that my family has owned since 1954. That was a tough decision, I essentially grew up there, learned to drive, farm, cuss, even have a dip or two, (which I hated and still do!).  Keeping it was just slowly causing it to depreciate so selling it was really my best option. 

Onto the game! 

I will be staying a shaman, nature is my calling!  Lightning bolts are where its at! 
This may even be my pvp choice if things are improved. Otherwise it will be my warrior or priest. 
See everyone in game!
