Is Lock a Lock, or is Lock a Mage
My life as a lock is full of ups and downs. I though that I finally found a cool guild I can raid with, only for the guild mates to be nonexistent online as soon as summer began. :(
Out of boredom and desperation and also because I've been enjoying my fire specked mage I resepecked my warlock destro (20/0/41). I have to say that the play style becomes very similar to a mage. But it did not feel like a lock anymore.
From my personal opinion Warlocks have their biggest and unique strengths in the demonology and affliction trees. Destruction is fun, but it's very short lived. You cannot do tings with destro you can do with demonology or affliction, such as non stop grinding or taking down an elite mob by your self. Plus if you want to blast things, you can always go mage, but only lock can have a unique DoTs and or pet/blast. I'm back to affliction and I love it!

Mage playing with Fire
I've been suffereing with my mage for a long time, trying to pick up playing with him only to get frustrated. From the very beggining I named him Moroz, which means frost in Russian. I inteded for him to be frost from the beggining. I've tried so many time to respec him into pure frost frost and arcane and frost for AOE gridning. Yet even after I started to have fun with the frost AOE, i got bored of that, and still got owned by a mob a few levels above me.
Finally, finally at level 30 i've specked into pure fire. Boy-oh-boy. Things are pretty easy now. I don't run out of mana, and mob goes down pretty quickly. Perhaps fire is the way to level a mage after all. :)

You know you play too much WoW when ... p3
When someone who does not play wow, for some reason say - "Jack of all trades. Master of non!". You automatically say to your self - "A Shaman".

Fishing for Fun and Profit
I've rediscovered Fishing. Now my fishing previously was at about 295, which I got there to get my cooking above 350. Then i kinda stopped fishing. I did not feel like going back to Azeroth to fish, and yet I found fishing in Outland a bit tedious since it would take 8-9 fish to go to the next level. Well the other day I wanted a different experience form WoW, so i logged in as Moramor, went to Cenarion Expedition's outpost in Zangarmarsh, bought some lure and began fishing. I actually found it fun.
After catching about 30 fish in open water, I started to run around and fishing in the pools that are sprinkled all around the water in that area. Well, let me tell you, it was actually fun, and profitable. I was catching trunks from the floating debris pools, including the Golden Darter, which sells very very well in AH in raw form or in the fish sticks, which grant +healing bonus. There is also a fish which is gray in quality, but sells for 6 gold!
Finally, I was also pulling out motes of water. These darn motes which when I was making my frozen set I needed so much. I used to kill tons of Water Elementals for those motes. I could have just fished, and got motes, fishing experience and fish for my troubles. Oh well. I am going to try now to fish the pure water pools to see how many motes I get there. Motes from fish and wreckage pools are uncommon, but still come pretty well.
It seems fishing is not something people level or bother with. Well from my recent experience, I would say that you should level it, and use it to get cools stuff and profit at the same time.
Here is a cool site I found related to fishing in WoW: El's Extreme Anglin' - WoW Fishing Guide

Gem Shortage on Medivh!
Something terrible is happenning on my server! There is a shortage of the basic JC cut Gems. I recently got a new pair of Pants in Kara with Three yellow sockets. When I ran to the AH to pick up some nice +6 hit yello gems, to my horror there are none. There are also not too many rare gems in the AH either. I usually don't look too much at those, since I careful what money I spend. However, I've noticed there are not many of cut rare gems either. I've also see tons of uncut undommong gems in AH.
I brought this horrible chain of event to my guild mates. A few of them laughed and said that they guy who used to be the main Horde Gem cutter on our server quick and went to play Age of Connan! This is terrible. Othrer Jewelcrafter have to step up, or we will be gemless :(.
If you are a Jewelrafter on Medivh Horde server, step up and start cutting gems and making money and help us socket our gear!

WoW and you internet provider or Why Verizon Sux
This is not specifically WoW related, but it still touches on it a bit. I've been recently having some chellenges with my DSL provider - Verizon. These challenges resulted in either me having rediculous lag or disconects in WoW or no connection at all. I'm happy to say, I got RoadRunner yestaday, here is why, or as you can say why Verizon Sucks. I'm putting all the rant behind the more line, so you don't have to read it if you don't want to.
