I'm a pure resto druid at heart but I succumbed to the power of laser feathers at least until 80. Starfall, Force of Nature, Barkskin and Hurricane is a cool combination.Ninielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102677569988012002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14483569.post-56673875746131410722008-11-29T16:17:00.000+01:002008-11-29T16:17:00.000+01:00The difficulties are there, you just have to find ...The difficulties are there, you just have to find them. some of the achievements on heroics are challenging, but yeah having to wait for that is a long time.<BR/><BR/>I'm still mostly in t6. I've replaced a couple pieces with blues/epics out of heroics and 80 lvl dungeons.<BR/><BR/>I agree that wrath is easy. I think blizz is trying to make everything accessable to everyone. and I can only hope that there is something challenging later one for ppl who want to be challenged. that you need only find it.<BR/><BR/>for example.. killing one of the bosses in the violet hold, without killing any of his adds... that strikes me as a challenge.. perhaps it won't be when you outgear the content though.<BR/><BR/>I reserve my judgement.<BR/><BR/>lvling resto was significantly easier this time than it has been in the past though. i was taking on 2 camps worth of mobs at a time and just thorns + hurricane + heals and wait for them to die.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14483569.post-69598807956683852562008-11-28T09:52:00.000+01:002008-11-28T09:52:00.000+01:00Good points and I'm glad to hear it! My perspectiv...Good points and I'm glad to hear it! <BR/><BR/>My perspective really is a lot different this time around. I entered Outland with almost a complete Feralheart which was completed at level 65 I think. Had I've been wearing Dreamwalker I'd probably have kept it until level 70. This was just voiced opinions from my guildmates so I'll find out what it's like at 80 soon on my own.<BR/>I have noticed that 10 lvl 74 mobs hit me a lot harder than 10 lvl 70 ones and my gear is still the same so that makes sense ;) <BR/><BR/>I predict I'll swap out my T6 for blue level 78-80 instance gear and quest chain rewards. Hoperfully I'll have time to enjoy some heroics before getting dragged into 25 man Naxx and have gear thrown at me, hehe.<BR/>In terms of gear I suppose the biggest difference between Outland and the old world was gear itemization, especially the amount of stamina that was added to the new Outland gear compared to the old raid items.<BR/>It seems the gear difference has been flattened out a bit in this expansion hasn't it?<BR/><BR/>That picture up top is a bit old by now, that was T5 (I've never owned anything pvp-like except the trinket and I don't do arenas or BG at all on my druid, not sure why really). I entered Northrend in six pieces of T6 and two Sunwell items so that's why I think it's easy to nuke mobs. Let me log on to my mage in early Karazhan gear and I might cry like a baby about hard it is in Northrend ;)Ninielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102677569988012002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14483569.post-2261389401677439352008-11-28T08:53:00.000+01:002008-11-28T08:53:00.000+01:00Just about everyone except DK's and recently rerol...Just about everyone except DK's and recently rerolled characters (like mine) outgear Naxxramas or at least heroics because of 3 reasons:<BR/>- easily attainable arena gear in TBC<BR/>- SWP badge gear and 2 years to farm badges<BR/>- no more attunements for BT and MH<BR/><BR/>Those 3 combined have ensured that everyone (except aforementioned people) are at least on a tier 5 level of gear.<BR/><BR/>Back when TBC was launched, people from guilds that had cleared BWL and/or AQ40, and definitely those who had cleared 40man Naxxramas, breezed through leveling, heroics and entry level raids as well. They only failed at Gruul/Magtheridon because they were tuned horribly wrong - poor design, not lack of gear.<BR/><BR/>The only difference between then and now, is that you (nor me) weren't one of those raiders. You are now - you're sporting tier 5 gear or s2 arena gear in that picture at the top of your blog. Flashback to 2 years ago, you would've outgeared most heroics and early Karazhan as well. <BR/><BR/>On my hunter I didn't have any raid/badge/arena gear and I can tell you that some quests leveling up were indeed challenging, and I expect to be struggling to keep up in heroics. I definitely don't look forward to seeing the first WWS's of raids I'll be on. I do need to gear up first, and I'm looking forward to it :)<BR/><BR/>Ask any hardcore raider and they'll confirm this is nothing new - it's just new for scrubs like us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05502662230977513162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14483569.post-21382728693982861932008-11-27T17:22:00.000+01:002008-11-27T17:22:00.000+01:00/comfortYou shouldn't stare at the screen or be de.../comfort<BR/><BR/>You shouldn't stare at the screen or be depressed, if you are then just log off for a while. You seem like an awesome and talented person so if you're bored with it then don't play for a while then see if it's fun when you get back. I've been bored with the game from time to time too but then I remember that it's the social bonds and achieving personal goals that make it fun.<BR/><BR/>The new content will probably become harder! It's been stated that Naxx was designed to be very "entry level" for new raiders so Blizzard can safely design the next raids to be harder knowing that everyone should have full Naxx gear making it easy to tune it I suppose.Ninielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102677569988012002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14483569.post-72606480968150113872008-11-27T17:06:00.000+01:002008-11-27T17:06:00.000+01:00Amen. I'm level 78 right now. Sometimes I get on a...Amen. I'm level 78 right now. Sometimes I get on and don't do anything because I don't know why I'm doing it. Sometimes I think I should race to 80 to blow through raid content, but I'm scared I will get bored really really fast. Other times I think I should be looking for gear upgrades, but then I remember there is no point anymore. So I stare at the screen in Dalaran feeling depressed.Aertimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615534190276350761noreply@blogger.com
