I really didn't expect to hit the end of Wrath burnout that I did. But I dealt with it by leveling a small army of alts. The week before the shattering I had:
- 4 level 80's
- Druid - H
- Priest - H
- Hunter - A
- Paladin - A
- A level 73 rogue
- Various bank and other alts
The shattering opened up a lot of new interesting quest chains, so my little baby mage banker set out to do some of those and leveled from level 6-41 in a little over a week.
Then the expansion came out. I went from having not enough to do, to having no idea what to do first. I made my obligatory goblin and worgen, they are both sitting at around level 10. I dithered around on my druid doing archeology for about 2 days and questing and picking flowers, and not knowing quite where to start.
Now, at the beginning of December I made a list of who I would level first, and where they would go along the way. I had to throw that list out the window after about a week. I thought I was going to level my hunter and farm ore to give to my paladin to level her jewelcrafting, but no. It's a lot cheaper to just buy it off the AH (at least on my server A side) and save anything my hunter gathers for her own engineering efforts. I race changed my priest and thought that would help me get the urge to level her, but no. She and my hunter are still sitting at level 80, probably playing chess with each other. Well my priest isn't completely bored, I've been feeding her cloth and greens.
Of course I leveled my druid first. She's my main. I am mostly on top of all the resto druid goings on (I'm looking forward to 4.0.6 and the decrease in rejuv's mana cost, I might be able to raid heal again!), and she has a raiding guild that needs her. It would really make sense to level the alt that could help support her with enchants and stuff next.
But, noooooooo, I fell in love with my paladin while leveling her to 80, and want to get her to 85 next. Shockadin is really quite fun to level with. Plate wearing ranged dps FTW!
Here we meet some problems. The guild my paladin and hunter are in is basically a bank guild. It will take quite some time before I see any guild perks. I won't have anyone to run heroics with that I know. She did a lot of pugging on her way to 80, but those were much more forgiving conditions. I don't pug with my main, let alone an alt that is going to have much less time devoted to her gear, and support from guildies. I could try to find a guild for her (and for my friend's alliance side characters) that would have perks and the occasional tank that would take my side in things. But she's not a main. And when I get alt ADD again, I don't know if I will continue to play her much. Like my hunter.
Oh well, I'll figure something out.
