WoW players reflection on Warhammer online



I'd like to write a few words regarding my opinion of Warhammer online.  I've purchased the game last month, and played it for about two weeks.  There are many things I liked and some things I did not like.

Here are some things worth mentioning:

Public quests - this was a very cool idea.  You get into an area, most likely because another quest sent you there and suddenly you're killing of monsters is contributing the the overall quest goal.  Everyone in that area contributes to that goal, without needing to be in the group.  There are stages, where the last stage is usually a boss that needs to be put down by at least 5-7 players.  Everyone participating gets to roll for the loot, with the once who participated more will then get a bonus added to the roll before final numbers are determined.  This is alot of fun when there are alot of people in the area.  However, if there are no other people in that area during that time, or you're playing off peak hours, these quests are undoable by your self.


Change of blog style.



I've decided to switch my WoW Blog Theme to reflect my playing with my Druid.

Medivh is down. I'm PVPing in Beta



Today Medivh server has been down all day long.  Very dissapointing since I wanted to level my druid more. Meanwhile I've been playing on the beta server.  I've been doing some PVP in the battle grounds as well as some PVE agains level 80 mobs.  Here is what I found:

Druid - Love PVP, PVE is also cool.  I've respecked heavy balance and a bit of healing.  Moonkin for PVE and Moonking/Healer for PVP.  I like the PVE, but PVP is wicked.  The Hot Healing is soo cool in PVP.

Mage - Love PVE.  I specked fire so far, but it's awsome.  I can two shot a mob easily.  However in PVP i did not enjoy it.  Probably because for PVP i need to spec frost.  Next time I'll try that.

Shaman - Tried all three specs, not very successfull in PVP, and PVE is kinda boring.  Shamans are too confusing with all the totems and spells.  Not my cup of tea.
Hopefully my regular server will be up tomorow to play my druid.

Oh by they way, cleared out ZA for the first time with my lock.  It was cool.  Great group with my guildies.

I've picked up Inscription



I've decided to pick up inscription on my druid.  My druid, who's my newest favorite Alt. is the second character I've created when I originally began playing WoW.  He fell out of my favor, and became my main banking and AH toon.  Originally he was herbalist/alchemist.  However, I've droped alchemy and leveled enchanting on him to DE my unneeded greens and do DE arbitrage in AH.

I was playing around with the idea of picking up inscription on my druid, since he had herbalism already.  The other day I was scanning the AH for the glyphs for sale, and after buying a couple, my decision was sealed.  Today I've droped enchanting ( I'll level it back up to a needed level to DE on anouther alt), and began my journey to gather some lower level herbs and level inscription.

The two glyphs I've picked up were:

Glyph of Rake

Glyph of Rejuvenation

Both glyphs are great and pretty useful for my leveling as a druid.  One will help with the runners when I'm in cat form ( most of the time), the other will help me during those times when you're almost dead, and throw a Rejuvenations on yourself before going back into cat/bear form to finish the mob off.

Right now people are making a lot of money with inscription, simply because it's new and market is not yet saturated.  People can charge what ever they want.  Also, the minor glyphs are not trainable, you have to discover them.  They are selling for ridiculous prices right now.  In the future Inscription may not be as profitable as it is right now.  However, at this stage of WoW, i have plenty of ways to make Gold in WoW even without a crafting profession.  So inscription will definitely will be useful in playing and leveling.

I hope that in the later game there will be glyphs that are discovery only or reputation, that will make this profession profitable as well.  So far, back to gathering peace blooms and silverleafs :).

Druids are cool and I've survived Patch 3.1 and Warhammer



I have not blogged lateley.  Mainly because of not palying as much, as well as playing Warhammer Online.  I'll write about Warhammer in anouther post.

Playing Beta, I'm beggining to really enjoy PVP with a premaid level 80 Restro Druid.  Resto Druids are a lot of fun.  It's almost like playing an afliction warlock only in reverse.  Hot Hot Hot.

I've began to level my druid, who has been my bank, and I'm actually enjoing it.  Druids are weared.  Either you love them or you hate them.  I'm starting to love mine.  Maybe my next alt.  But hey, they never survive past 45. LOL

Well see.
