My Rogue made it to level 80 – yippee!
Level 80
A quick stop in Dalaran to vendor junk, blast off my level 80 Fireworks (why don’t we get anything for level 85???) and I was ready for Mount Hyjal.
Fireworks in Dalaran
I had a plan.
I would blast through the starter quests, replace as much of my heirloom level 80 gear as I could, probably get to level 81 (or 82 if I was lucky) and then finish off the evening spamming trade for a BS to make me a rod I needed for Enchanting.
It started out well enough – go to Moonglade, get a ride, see Deathwing/Ragnaros, blah, blah, blah…
Picked up The Earth Rises and Inciting the Elements.
Yeah, the starter quests.
I couldn’t kill anything without dying at least a couple of times for each mob.
The inciters were particularly difficult – I couldn’t Sap them or get behind them and they stomped me into the ground before I could knock a quarter of their health down. Recuperate didn’t do much fast enough.
So…I became very friendly with the Spirit at the graveyard.
Guild Chat:
Me: I can’t kill these mobs in the starter quests
Guildie: What spec are you?
Me: Sub
Guildie: O_O
Guildie: Not to be a dick, but how did you get to level 80?
Me: a miracle…
Yes, I am living proof that one can get to level 80 without knowing how to play one’s class – at all.
On the bright side, I can pick pocket like a boss.
Switched to Combat spec (and filled in the talent points I had neglected for Combat), equipped my sword and promptly got stomped back into the ground.
Yeah, I forgot how to play Combat.
It was getting late so I dragged my sorry behind back to Stormwind and made plans to read up on Combat before trying again.
It’s going to be a long, long road to 85.
It seems fitting to end this depressing post with a suitable screen shot of my main and play a little game: Find the Shadow Priest.
Find the Shadow Priest
Nothing for me in Looking for Loot this week either. Both the main hand/off hand weapons dropped that I need, but I didn’t win either one.
Oh, and Elgar…you know that helm token you wanted?
It dropped in LFR Part 2…
