Final presentation for the thesis this Saturday (yea, welcome to the mess Keio is -_-). I've been working on the presentation while taking time off to level my priest and rogue. Or more accurately, I've been levelling my priest and rogue while taking time off to work on the presentation :x
Started on TBC quests just after I dinged 58 for my rogue because I had cleared all the Blasted Lands quests and had no choice but to go through the portal. Finally levelled to 60, and that was the most excruciating 2 levels ever (not to mention the fact that I already don't have a liking for Hellfire Peninsula levelling). It was terrible because loads of my attacks would miss (25% chance of miss on level 62 ftw), which means I couldn't get combo points, which means I couldn't do special attacks etc. I then casually opened up my quest log... and found that the quests were all orange to me. No wonder -_- Even half the mobs I fought were orange to me. Got my ass saved by a Goblin Hunter (i.e. opposite faction) when I accidentally pulled too many mobs and was almost going to use Vanish to save my skin. Maybe I should've run a couple of dungeons, hit 60, then head through the portal.
Specced Shadow for my priest, and am having a surprisingly easy time levelling. Meet Azaleia, all decked out in resplendent purple! I think I'll keep the piece just for transmog purposes. I don't feel as squishy as the last time I levelled a mage, possibly because in the event of pulling more than 1 mob, I can just throw up Power Word: Shield without breaking Shadow Form and tank the damage while trying to burn down the mobs as fast as possible. Have only died once so far around the level 10 to 15 range, and I think that was when I survived pulling 2, nearly OOM-ed, and accidentally aggroed anotheralmost immediately after. Compare this to the mage whose first death was at level 5 or so. I don't know whether I'm OOM-ing so much due to (near) chain pulling or it's normal for priests to OOM. Anyway, just finished up the Arathi Highlands quests, heading to The Hinterlands next! Was considering levelling via dungeons (to help get over the fear of healing in dungeons (will possibly OS Holy) but I had already specced Shadow. Just unlocked dual spec, though... I kinda feel like questing until maybe TBC because I haven't quested in these areas before. We shall see.
Guild Dragon Soul run on Friday night, presentation on Saturday morning, and friend's Firelands run on Saturday night!
