Leveling and Early 85 Shenanigans


Woot 85! It took me a surprising amount of time to do it again, (damn you real life for infringing)!The leveling experience was just as fun as it was in beta, if not a bit better because things felt a bit more polished. Opening zones were a mad rush the 1st night, but once I broke away from the pack everything was much better. Deepholm was a little grindy but I think that’s because the map has you flying in circles a lot. Uldum was a blast, with what is probably the best questing in WoW I’ve come across. Twilight Highlands was a good zone, but not super great. I think on its own it’s fine, but following Uldum almost anything would be a letdown.  

Now that I’m 85 I’ve slowly been working my way though dungeons, crafting, and the AH to get geared up enough to be competitive in raids. I’m struggling a bit with my Disc spec as opposed to Holy, which seems pretty strong at the moment. I’ll most likely duel spec both for the time being. I want to contribute in raids, but we already have a good Holy priest, so I know my raid would prefer the diversity of me being Disc; I just need to play with the spec more. My gut feeling is it will be stronger with higher levels of mastery because I already understand many of the nuances of the revised play style. I’ll post again when I have some better numbers and empirical evidence.
