It’s been a while and somehow I’m already level 44 on my main paladin Sevotarthe. Most of my play time has been on the weekends, and I’ve enjoyed early morning sessions slowly but surely making progress.
I’ve been mainly tanking and healing when I group into dungeons, and I’ve been pleased by how good the groups have been. Everyone has been nice and helpful, and rarely have we even wiped. My favorite dungeons are probably Razorfen Downs and recently Uldaman. RFD is much more straightforward, and as a paladin I love all of the undead mobs, which make holding agro so much easier. Uldaman feels like a sprawling archaeological dig site and it gives a real sense that I’m exploring a lost city and ancient ruins. There’s also been a popular strategy when fight the last boss Where the group runs him to another room to avoid some of the adds he spawns, and when he’s chasing your group it feels like an epic escape.
My professions have started to take a back seat, and I’m going to recommit to working on my blacksmithing before I get to level 50. I’ve got a lot of mithril to mine, but I enjoy progressing the professions to help me make my own gear.
I’ve started flagging myself for pvp when in the open world, and it’s been a lot of fun having the occasional skirmish between willing Horde players. It’s one of the things I like about playing on an RP realm because PVP is something players opt into, and if I’m not in the mood or I don’t have the time I can opt out too. With phase two coming out this week, I am very excited about the increased world pvp. Some epic battles await, and some of my most fun, even in defeat is still to be had.
My goal is to get to level 60 before the new year, and it looks like I might be able to make it happen. Not sure what I’ll do once I get there, but I’m enjoying the journey. How about you? How are you enjoying classic wow?
