So I got the set. I pushed really hard for a few days, and sacrificed a bit to push my tailoring to 375, and finally created my robe. The set is pretty cool. All of my curses and shadow bolts return a bit of life back to me. I've also re-socketed all of my pieces to add +hit bonuses for raiding and instance runs.



I will say one thing. It was a lot of work and resources to push my tailoring to 375. Tons and tons of mats. There are many people who say that it for a clothie it is almost a required choice to have tailoring to make one of the epic tailoring sets. I don't know if I agree though. Yes, the set allows you to have great gear without doing much instances or raiding. However, it is not a cheap set, and is very time and effort consuming.

Here is my main dilemma with the set. I've invested so much time and resources into it. What did I get it for? It's not a PVP set, so it's not really for PVPing. It's a PVE and Raiding set. But I am not big on doing instances and raiding. It is so time consuming, and frustrating to get a good group and for everything to go smoothly. Add to that the fact that my family members want immediate attention while I'm in a dungeon, and it equals pretty frustrating experience. So, for regular questing, I would have been fine with stuff I got as quest rewards and stuff tailors desperately sell in AH to help level their tailoring. It now seems almost like a waste to me. Maybe I've been better with an epic flyer? :(

Recently my friend switched to playing horde, from playing Alliance. He finally saw the light! :) Actually the main reason he switched, was because he likes playing in the battle grounds and he was constantly losing there.

So he rolled a priest, and I rolled a Mage. We went with Undead first, but then rerolled to blood elves, for the aesthetic reasons. Well he's priest is of course at a much higher level then my Mage, since he plays him exclusively and I split my time between the warlock and the Mage.

Well after getting my Mage to level 24, I have to say I don't like playing with him. The nuke nuke nuke drink routine is not me! I am so spoiled with my warlock of grinding with no downtime, this drinking is very annoying. Also, if you get the mob on you, two hits and you're dead! So i can say that I'm dead a lot!

I think I'm rerolling a Shaman. I actually enjoyed levelling my Draeni Shaman, until my friend stoped playing the Alliance, and so did I.

So why shaman, well I like the idea of hitting with spells, but then being able to take the beating if needed, and also healing yourself. Similar to Druid ( which I have at level 22 and still found easier to play with then my Mage), but less switching around from for to form.

Shaman will be my utility character. I am not one of the people who loves to play with others too much, so a character who can take care of himself is what I need. A Warlock was that for me with Voidwalker, and especially once I got my Fellguard. I hope that Shaman can be his own utility knife.

I've been trying really hard to tailor my Frozen Shadoweave set for my Warlock. However, after spending tons and tons of money and time to either farm the primals or to buy them, I start questioning myself - is it worth the effort? It seems that I can probably find a lot of nice upgrades just doing the instances.

So far I got the shoulders and the boots, which are pretty nice. But they cost me a lot! I also made a huge mistake of making the shoulders twice ( i wanted to make the boots the second time). Finally the robe is not only very material intensive, but requires 375 tailoring. My tailoring is about 367. The only decent way to get up to 375 is to make imbued netherweave robe or tunic, which will be expensive to make and don't really sell that well.

So where am I going with all of this money talk? Don't I get enough money from questing? Well yes. However, I've set my eyes on the epic flyer, and I'm on NO BUYING policy until I get it! :( Let's hope that's soon. Until then, robe can wait, and I'll far the cloth to get my tailoring up.
