Musing's on Balance

So Howling Fjord and Borean Tundra are where Mohg is plying this stealthy trade. As I've been getting back into the swing of playing him again, I've been pouring through the internet looking for rescources on playing rogues, gear, talent builds and general insight. Unfortunately most of the best sights I used to visit are no longer active. This seems to be epidemic in the Twisted Nether of blog land. All the people that used to maintain really solid, active blogs have stopped blogging and some have even stopped playing.
There is a good and a sad side to a lot of this. A lot of these players seemed to have set aside their families and real lives to play and share their experiences with us. They have slowed way down or stopped to go back to RL and their families. Who can blame them? It's never a good thing when a game replaces real life and real people.

The part of this experience that I got somewhat involved in last year, especially on my other WoW related blog Zuluparadise, is the communication about the experimentation that was happening then. People would actually discuss fairly fully the cause and effect process that was happening and the results were pretty interesting. The blogging community, I believe at the time was actually coming to a point where I would prefer to get the specifics for the classes I play there, rather than heading over to Elitist Jerks and having to deal with their arrogance. The information gained this was was also good because you would hear a lot more than "that's just the best way to do it."

So now, I have ideas about specific things that I cannot bounce off others who may have already been there so I have to rely on my own testing and watching other players on my server go, "your an idiot, newb." Ah well, things will work out fine, I just have to get there to really start playing the way I want to.

So...... Life in Azeroth

[Zuluki] Last week Zuluki nailed level 79 and is taking a short rest from slaughtering gorilla's by the thousands for their leather. She passed 440 in Leatherworking so she can now craft anything she has the recipe for. Epics here I come!

[Mohg] In the mean time, Mohg has decided that Howling Fjord is his playground for now. He hit level 71 this morning and is well on his way towards level 72. He's going to stay in the Fjord for a while knocking out quests like a madman. I've respecced him back to Combat Daggers/Fists. I like this better than swords, I need one more fist weapon for my main hand and life will be good. Slowly but surely he's making his climb to 80. Happy days.

[Dhargaul] Dhar is taking a break, though not needed. I really am shooting to generate enough funds for Dhar to get dual specced (Enhancement/Restoration) so until then he's not getting much play. Hopefully by the end of the summer he'll be there.

[Pallasathena] Not seeing much play.

[Helstorm] Not seeing much play except for the occasional dungeon run for loot.

[Yrkoon] Taking a short break before finishing the memorable STV!

The Rework of this Blog

So, I"ve decided to combine my attention hopefully into a single blog. I'll be maintianing my blog for Zuluki for a while longer before I decide to retire it and move all my convertations and thoughts to this blog. From here on out readers will hear of my exploits as I play all my different toons. So keep tuned as I'll also get on my soap box from time to time ranting about game related issues.

Feel free to leave comments.

Dhargaul.

Coming Back

Hey all, I"ve been gone for a long time. I'm still around slowly leveling, though I do have to admit that I've been leveling other toons more often then I've been playing here on my shaman. So without much further ado, I'll break into what has been happening in the last 6 months here in the next few days. :D
