First Post – WOOT!

Just so those of you who stumble upon this know, I have no intention of this actually going anywhere. I don’t have delusions that this blog will become the biggest hit with the WoW community since the announcement that William will be the end raid boss of a massive quest chain to retrieve Donna’s dolly in Wrath. On the other hand, I get the feeling that the whole reason people read these blog things is that they have a strange need to hear other people’s thoughts, mundane though they may be.

To that effect, I’d like to say that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing here. So I guess what this will be is a documentation of the things that I discover as I play further into this game than I’ve ever done before (which, really, is not saying much).

Today, Throrn (my beloved Nelf Hunter) dung 62 and picked up Steady Shot, which means that I’ve only just started toying with dps shot rotations. I will say that the basic steady/auto/arcane rotation works really well. At 62 I’m pulling in about 430 sustained dps against mobs my own level. I’m wearing pretty crap gear, too. Feel free to armory me at any time (http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Crushridge&n=Throrn) and make fun of my gear/professions/spec/stats. Your flames feed and sustain me.

Deutirium, my 19 twink rogue and founding member of Crushridge’s <The Periodic Table> twink guild, is coming along very nicely. I made some choices in building her that I wish I hadn’t and am thus suffering for, mostly the choice of Nethercobra over Nethercleft, and in some of the gear shortcuts I took to avoid cost/time constraints. I still need to pick up the fishing boots and hat, and somehow get a Libram of Constitution onto the hat. Boar’s Speed will be going on the boots, and I’ll be putting Lifestealing onto my PvP dagger (still don’t have Shadowfang or Assassin’s Blade, but *fingers crossed*).

Well, I guess that’s all for now. I’ll keep everyone updated on my journeys through both Outland and Warsong Gulch.

Until next time, ladies and gents, be safe, buckle up, and always use protection.
