Meomeo

Race: Tauren
Class: Druid
Current Level: 85
Date Created: 11/??/2009
Realm Location: Ner'zhul
Current Spec and Gearing: Feral with Bloodthirsty Set



Description: This tauren was my second toon (first Horde character) to be created and now my primary toon after Alehs. Feeling stressed out from my warrior dying all the time, I went on my druid. I tried to experiment with what I wanted to do with my druid, and Balance and Restoration wasn't for me. But once I keep trying with Feral, I felt like I found my WoW sweet spot for dishing out damage.




In PvP, I died quickly but it wasn't as frequently as my warrior and I could choose my battles a little better. So gaining gear back at 80 was a lot better for my druid than for my warrior. Although I didn't get Wrathful gear during the season, I did obtain most of it when it was free. Of course, no shoulders were available, so I never had them.

In PvE, I advanced very well with gear to the point I eventually had T10 with two heroic pieces. And around late November of last year, I got Kingslayer. I understand that I had the 30% buff, but most of my groups usually don't go that far or we would be stuck at Professor, Blood Queen, or Sindragosa. So it was depressing not being in a good grouping until a good PuG came in to help us. But yeah, Patch 3.3.5 was the prime of my druid.

Then Cataclysm came in and still gave some fun for my druid after I painfully leveled my warrior. However, when I got up to 85, problems began to rise. Since it was very early in Cataclysm, I couldn't really do instances so quickly since most of my guild was on and off (the realm is West Coast, but I'm East Coast; blame my Alliance friend for signing me up there). Not to mention PvP was a severe grind fest. Luckily, the 1800+ honor points came in and support my gearing as well. But all was not too lost in PvE. As of right now, I currently have heroic gearing with 4-5 epics ready to be use. The only problem is that my guild can't pass Magmaw or Halfus when I was active. Every time we died and it only got worse each passing week. So I hung up my poor around February and went back to school.



Hopefully around late April or early May, I'll start playing again and make my druid shine. I know the Great Druid Nerfs were nasty back in February, but I seen some feral druids climbing back the ladder (PvP isn't dead, just a little harder now; can't say the same for PvE though since melee isn't too valuable for most fights). So all hope isn't lost if I play my druid a lot better.

Alehs

Race: Draenei
Class: Warrior
Current Level: 85
Date Created: 9/??/2009
Realm Location: Ner'zhul
Current Spec and Gearing: Arms with Bloodthirsty Set



Description: I created this character back in mid-September 2009. This was my first character I use for WoW time, mainly for PvP. I had various reasons as to why I wanted a warrior. Mostly, it was to live up to the name a bit. If you spell Alehs backwards and put an "i" between "l" and "a", it's actually Shelia. Shelia was based off of the tank in the Red vs Blue series. The Blue side took the tank in, and did wonky stuff with her to try to corner the Red side. So being blue (Alliance and Draenei), and based off of an in-game specc (Warrior Tank), this was an interesting name for this lady in plate. Sadly though, things change, and she wasn't really a tank nor indestructible. Defeats the purpose referring something that you're not is somewhat awkward.


Around the time I was 80, it wasn't really easy dishing out damage due to my low output. Heck, most of the times I don't really do that much damage with this character due to having a poor weapon. But as soon as I obtain this weapon, it was slowly going up and I was taking down people. Very late in the previous expansion, I never really killed the Lich King (much less get passed Professor due to bad pug groups) and only obtain a few weapons from there. My PvP career wasn't so great either since I didn't went that far with the previous system for arena teams.


When Cataclysm kicked in, I leveled pretty quickly with this character. However, once I reach 85, I nearly abandoned this warrior since she was poorly geared and was practically free honor to anyone that gives me a second glance. Tol Barad Peninsula didn't help that feeling either, but the area did geared my warrior quickly due to the 1800 honor boost that happen around Christmas Break. Eventually, I was able to do some damage upon my opponents. Since this was primarily a PvP toon, I didn't do much with her when it comes to PvE. No raid experience with her yet, but only has been normal dungeons as Fury.



Hopefully, I'll get back into WoW again to probably use her for some PvP action. I wasn't perfect, but I did like hacking and slashing at things close with her. They still need to fix Heroic Leap though. That ability is atrocious.

As Of Right Now...

I'm not actively playing. Now I understand that you may call me silly and telling me you can't say much without an active subscription. Well, there are a ton of things I can still talk about WoW. Like the interesting content that Boubouille posted about the current and future updates about WoW. The plans of what I'm going to do when I get back on WoW. And maybe a few posts about my characters that I played a lot. In fact, you'll probably get to see my first one the next time I post, so stay tuned.

Welcome!

Just making a new blog for my experience with MMORPGs, or Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, and especially for a game called World of Warcraft, or WoW for short. I'm going to post here once and a while with screenshots of previous times and posts about the current state of WoW. Most of them won't be too long, but I'll inform you if one of them will be. I hope you'll enjoy my postings and watch this blog. Thank you for visiting! My next post will consist of what I like about this MMO and what's hot and not about it.
