Redefining the Impossible

WoW News Issue 246


Mayzyn and Mayxyn

This post is little more than to show off this screen shot:

I found a nice shady spot

I found a nice shady spot

The Warrior and the Priest spent some time in Westfall fighting defias lowbies in a cave. I had one wipe which was enough to pursuade me to have the priests Inner Fire up at all times. The fight was a tricky one, the warrior had a couple of melee guys going and the priest had a caster lobbing fireballs at her. The caster was too far away for the warrior to pull agro with a thunder clap. The priests 'Fade' had been serving me well but it was on cooldown. I'm learning a lot about agro management. Hunters/warlocks have threat generation on autocast, I'm having to do it manually.

The next thing I need to remember is Power Word: Shield but there is a lot to learn here.

The Warrior was weilding her new blue two-hander and very nice it was too, two-shotting level 13's. She had to level up her two-handed mace from 1 to 90 but that is easy with a priest around to spam Renew heals.

Warrior dinged 19 early on and the Priest ended the session very close to 18. I discovered that I had neglected to pick up the stormwind flight point on the priest as she was summoned straight from ironforge so I ran her back to Stormwind killing pigs on the way. It was interesting to try solo priest play and as I suspected, it sucked, still boring with lots of mana breaks. Anyway she dinged 18.

It took a few days but the girls Armory profiles are now working. Nice that Mayzyn has level 16 engineering. She's never made anything but for once I am exploiting a racial profession buff.

I'm mildly tempted to have Mayxyn as a jewelcrafter except I have absolutely no interest in Gem cutting. Gems are for raiders and pvpers that would grind for a month just for 3 more agility. Methinks Gems make bugger all difference in 20 second solo fights.

Actually, jewelcrafting has some very nice trinkets, rings and neck pieces you can make, it's not just about gems. wowhead.com/?spells=11.755

Mayzyn is scooping up all the ore she can find, I'll see how much is left over from powerlevelling the engineering to powerlevel the jewelcrafting (some hope). Or maybe I will read the wowwiki jewelcrafting page and see what there is to compete with one of those flying machines. One of those would be much cooler than the 'pauper pidgeon' that maevyn flies.

I see the rings and stuff on the AH, some of it is quite attractive and it is dumped cheap.

How you been peter. I havent wrote on here ina while. Ya I have jc on my druid. All though it is low level I can still make quite a bit of gold. I think its on thing im going to have to level soon. Anyways ya priests are boring I was thinking of making my priest a shadow priest which may help killl things faster. I do not know yet.

From what I gather shadow priests are ok from level 40-ish e.g. once they get shadow form. Looking forward to seeing her on a big transparent purple elephant.

A priest at 18 feels a bit like the druid before bear or cat and is about as interesting. Reminds me, I haven't visited the class trainer for level 18 yet. Probably due for another type of healing spell.

Ya thats what I thought as well. They get a lot of good moves at that level. Until then you might as well level with a partner as heals.

Level 18 is 'dispel magic'. Not that useful for low level soloing and I'll have forgotten it's there by the time I reach any dangerous casters (e.g. orge fire sheild guys).

Oh, one thing I didn't mention about the Priest/Warrior combo: if the warrior gets disarmed one can continue to kick arse.

Warrior is about as interesting as a pally to play. They can do ranged pulls though and 'charge' is fun. Warning: I trained in 'throwing knives' at lvl 10 as I thought they would give infinite ammo compared to guns/bows but there were no throwing knives on the AH under level 15. Being older and wiser now I think one should choose a warrior ranged weapon for stats.
