The druid, the hunter, or the mage. I have 3 level 70s who I want to get to 80 at some point, but bearing in mind how little play time I have at the moment, I’m going to have to narrow it down to one to play through, and so far? I haven’t a clue which one!

On the one hand, I have Softthistle. My main. My first ever character. My first 60, and 70. I’d love for her to be my first 80 as well really - boomkins do rock after all, and I feel connected to her character more than any of the others. Well, we have been together for almost four years now, what do you expect? 

She’s also in the most awesome guild of awesomeness with another certain blogger who is, funnily enough, also pretty awesome. I love playing with these guys, although I haven’t had much time recently, it is by far the best guild I’ve ever been in, with some of the best players I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. 

Zackii The Mage is also in this guild, but he’s not really in the running for first to 70. He’s a fun alt, but still ‘just’ and alt all the same.  

Then there’s Maryliin, my hunter. That there is Manson that she’s with. He’s a strange little monkey, but damn he does some awesome tanking! Maryliin was created when Noobiewan was. We leveled these characters up together, and had a blast doing it. I re-moved Maryliin from Bloodhoof where Softi et all are back to Stormrage so I could play with the Noob. I figured since I wasn’t playing her much on BH anyway, at least she’d be back where she belongs and, hopefully, able to level up again with Noobie when the time came. 

Oh, and the new hunter changes? Awesome!

So the time is almost upon us, and I am still unsure of which character to make my priority with leveling to 80. On the one hand it *should* be Softi, at least in my mind, she is my main after all! At the same time I want to level with Noobie like I always have in the past, like I did when TBC was released. Therein lies the problem. 

Maybe I’ll get a pros and cons list of my options here… I don’t want to just up and leave my Lightwalkers buddies, but I also miss playing with Noobie!

Damn you limited play time!!!

Anyone got any insights on this? *sigh*

[note: I realise I used the word awesome way too much in this post but, well, I couldn't think of anything else to be honest! It's my word of the moment - sue me! ]

You know when you just don’t know what to write, but you don’t want to *not* write something? Yep, that’s what’s happened to me today. For the past couple of days actually!

Last night was MH, 4/5 were downed, hopefully the archibutt will go down on sunday (*fingers crossed* come on Lightwalkers, we can do it!!), and I might get to see BT sometime soon too.

I got me some t6 gloves from Ass galore (woot!) so I’m officially rockin now. Or is that hooting? Must check that out…

I’ve been attempting to get some gold together, I think I’ll be getting Maryliin (the hunter) her epic flying mount after all since it’ll make mining (and therefore farming) much easier, but at the same time… epic flying for a farmbot? Will it really be worth it? Ok… another thing to check out. Hmm.

Zackii has been trying to get rep, grinding up his enchanting and tailoring, AND grind gold at the same time. Needless to say that’s not going too well, but he’s getting there! I’m having much more fun getting him geared up than I did with Maryliin, she’s just kinda been left to it really, I just can’t seem to get that ‘into’ my hunter state of mind these days.

I tried a fire spec with him, I *really* tried, but he was just! too! squishy! Plus he kept burning himself, so he’s back to a deep frost build. A really deep frost build. Uh, ok… and ALL frost build. Don’t hit me Mages-Who-Know-Better-Than-Me, please? I mainly solo with him at the moment anyway, unless I’m in an instance, but, but, I just like him specced that way ok?

*sigh*

I know, I know… I need to sort it out right? I’m workin on it, I just love my non-squishy frost spec so much though, and I don’t *really* know what I can do that will increase dps but still let me have my ice barrier. I *love* my ice barrier! I feel so safe inside my ice barrier. Did I mention I like my ice barrier? Well, I do!

You’d think, that with all these level 70s (three!), I’d be contented with trying to gear them, doing dailes and such, but… just a short while after dinging Zackii, I am already getting that leveling itch again. I know  I *should* level my lock if anyone, she’s sitting at 57 and wants to see Outland before the expansion after all.

My stupid brain keeps thinking *shamanshamanshaman*. I swear, the altitis is a hard thing to kick, especially when you like the process of leveling - it’s an addiction!! Gaah!

So, I guess really I have been doing quite a bit in wow recently… off I go to do some more!

/hugs!

Finally Cat the Ghost Saber has a name…

Ready?

Wait for it…

Tac!

Wanna know why I chose that name?

Actually it’s not because it’s Cat backwards… I didn’t even realise that coincidence till later (yes you can all laugh at me… Noobie all but disowned me!) but because he ‘pins’ things down while I pew pew them to death.. har har har.

Funny, no?

Also, I started a babydruid at the beginning of last week and she’s not lvl 34 - go me! Baby Softii is on Aurik’s server, I thought it’d be a good idea to see what it’s like to solely play on ONE character instead of bouncing about from alt to alt like I tend to do.

How long do you think it’ll take me to get her to hit 70?
