Disappointing Night in Azeroth
I logged in last night to finish up the quests I had in the Charred Vale and finally accomplished that feat, minus the group/Elite quests. With that done, I was supposed to grind my way to within 3 bars of level 25. Heck no!! I hate that little hell hole of an aggo zone. I don’t think my mana ever got over 78% before another mob would wander in and start in on me all over again. If I had a nickel for every time I had to mana shield 3 times before getting another Frost Nova while running toward the basin wall, I’d be a very rich man.
I decided that was not the place to grind, so I’m messing with Joana’s plan a bit and skipping on to the next area before I’m ready because the mobs are actually 1-2 levels lower than Charred Vale and if I kill enough of them, I will be able to complete a quest without too much trouble.
I’m pretty ticked at myself for not uploading one of my best screenshots ever.
EDIT: I got it now, click the jump to see the battle unfold.
Appreciate What You Have
It is so easy to overlook or underappreciate those things which come easily to us. I am a textbook case of that. This is a tad long for making my point, and I’m not out to bang my drum, but here is what you can do when you pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
I finally got back to getting back to college. I received my A.A. degree in 2005 after taking my sweet time (8 years) to get 61 credits. [Read more…] about Appreciate What You Have
Changes to Professions Coming
I just read on WoWinsider.com that changes are coming for professions. After reading all of that, the only change I may make to my professions is to actually fish now. I know, I know, it’s a great money-maker, but I just can’t stay awake after 8pm sending out a lure, wait 30 seconds while intently trained on the bobber, and then clicking it IF it moves. While 20 seconds isn’t short, it’s a lot shorter.
Are you going to make any changes/switches in your professions because of the upcoming changes?
Ding 24; Charred Vale Sucks
Talk about aggro zone! I can’t bend over to loot without aggroing another one of those stupid harpies roaming on patrol. It took me waaay too long to hit 24 because my spells were too weak for the area, so I teleported to Org to train and only got in improved fireball. 🙁 At least I got a talent point to put in Frost, increasing Frost damage another 2%.

Reader Participation Results
Based on the feedback yesterday, I spent the last 2 hours tweaking my CSS files and politely cursing my CSS skills as I kept hacking away at padding and ids and classes until I got what you see in the upper right corner. I will update it as often as I like, and will entertain putting up your screenshots if they rock. The only thing to consider for them is that they should look good in a 2.5:1 width:height ratio.
Thanks for all the suggestions yesterday, and I would consider this a smashing start for my new weekly feature.
