Leatherworking 400 and Dual Spec

Didn't do too much today.. Servers were down and I didn't get much sleep last night. Kagem and I played with our Horde Paladins and got to level 17. With the little time I did get to play Damere I finally got my Leather working to 400 and finally purchased Dual Specs. So now I can swap between Assassination for solo-leveling and Combat for when I run instances. (I miss Blade Flurry for increased DPS in 5-mans).

Tomorrow hopefully I'll get close to level 74 and get a few Nexus runs in. Maybe :)

Another Utgarde Keep Run!

This will be the last time I run Utgarde Keep on normal. I finally finished the quests for it. Next time I run it will be Heroic I hope. The run started out shaky. We had a lvl 69 Deathknight who tried his heart out but kept dying. When to my surprise the level 80 Paladin switched to Protection and carried us the rest of the way through.

Special thanks again to my buddy Rosellia who joined me this time. Also thanks goes out to Toa the Shaman, Narrian the Death Knight, and our savior for the run Bossuber the Paladin. Excellent run, great heals Toa and don't worry Narrian! You'll be kicking major ass when you get a few more levels. Would group with any of these guys again!

Blizz never ceases to amaze me sometimes.

Besides digging through crap, sometimes Blizz never ceases to amaze me with the cool stuff you can do during quests.. Here's a pic of me surfing across the chasm to Valgarde Keep on top of a flaming harpoon.

Little stuff like this makes me smile.

Level 73 - Now back for some unfinished business!

So I got level 73 today and then decided to head back to the old-world to work on my lockpicking that I'd been procrastinating on forever. My skill was in the low 100's so I headed out to the Wetlands to work on it. Currently my lockpicking skill is at 150. Got a ways to go yet. I have over 20 locked chests in my bank that I've been saving of the course of leveling this toon. A lot of money to be made in what I could possibly auction out of all of those. And they're taking up room in my bank.

Other than that I had to leave Portent. I hadn't heard from the GM's in well over a week now. It's a shame because I had high hopes in them. So I've been surfing the WoW forums and applying at all different kinds of guilds. I'm hoping to hear back from the GM of From Beginning to End today. See how that goes.

Oh and REPENT! THE CATACLYSM IS COMING!! lol

And it's Official!!

I'm watching the Blizzcon 09 Live Feed right now.. But yeah.. Cataclysm will be World of Warcrafts 3rd Expansion.. and there is so much amazing new content coming to WoW that I cannot possibly post everything here right now.

Check out Wow's main site, or Wow.Com, and MMO-Champion for all the new news.

But I will be be rolling a Worgen Warrior and Human Hunter come Cataclysm.

BlizzCon 2009!

On the eve of BlizzCon 2009, I thought I'd post my predictions to see how close I am to being right. I want to say right here and now that this is all merely speculation.

As far as their next MMO.. I wonder why they would ever stray from their three cash cows. StarCraft, Diablo and World of Warcraft. Unless their next MMO is something closely tied to what they have now.

Could their next MMO be -

Starcraft Universe?

World of Diablo?

World of Warcraft 2.0?

We all have heard the rumors of Worgen and Goblins for the next playable races, but I wonder.. Can Worgen be Warriors? If so I am soooo rolling one. And I want to know more details about these crazy race to class combinations.. Tauren Priests and Paladins still freak me out. And Dwarf Shamans and Gnome Priests do as well.

Also I want another Hero Class so bad! Come on Runemasters!!! They have to make something to balance out these crazy OP Death Knights.

Will the new dances finally be implemented?

And I hope that the level cap will exceed 85. One can only hope!

Well thats all I have for now. I will post the trailer for 'Cataclysm' here tomorrow if it's released. I can't believe I have had off since Monday and now i'm gotta work while BlizzCon 09 is in full swing. Can't find out any of the juicy info until I get home from work. By then everyone will be buzzing with all the sweet new expansion details.

My Revenge on Utgarde Keep

So finally I found a decent enough group to complete Utgarde Keep. The group was composed of Zodyak the Prot Paladin, Beralak a Mage, Opusdei a Shadow Priest and Tranzformrz a Rest Druid. We had no deaths and no wipes, unlike my last attempt here. Many thanks to you all.
