Back at work!

Took yesterday off, since I was feeling right sick at the office on Tuesday and left work early.

A lot of the day, probably too much, was spend dicking around with my paladin on World of Warcraft. After a painful round of Deadmines, it's safe to say that I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH HER.

Hybrid classes in WoW are tricky things. I have a druid and shaman too, but either feel as... awkward as a pally. It's a support class - I GET that. Thing is, I want to like the class, but I don't want to be stuck feeling like I'm going insane while trying to level. I think that I can build a reasonable tank out of her if I respec and upgrade some of my gear. The problem with tanks is what do you do with them while soloing.

I tryed building my warrior as a tank - it didn't end well. At that point warriors were seriously broken and it was impossible for me as a Protection speced warrior to kill things fast enough to stay alive. So, Protection warrior became Fury warrior.

I haven't been enjoying soloing too much with my pally. I thinks the problem is she's specced Holy and I HATE healing. I may respec to Retribution or Protection. Bah.

I thought the rule of thumb with warriors was to sunder and then use taunt later. Odd. Mind you, I saw the winners that usually run Deadmines with Kate last night. We had a warrior come in to tank orignally with a 2-hand sword that broke five minutes in. Oh, and he didn't sunder.

The "peeling" I think Kate is refering to is Righteous Defense, which is sorta like a warrior's Taunt, but the mechanics are a touch different. Instead of casting it on a mob, you cast it on the player being attacked.

Well there is that but I was actually referring to me running towards you and the mobs attacking you instead of me or you coming to save my behind. :P

Speaking of that, after the DM run I dinged 20 and got my "light-up-the-ground-sorta-aoe-with-high-aggro-attack", which will make it easier to dump the aggro off of you and onto me.

That is correct. I was being sarcastic. Sarcasm communicate on the interweb as well.

Wha? Me makes no sense. That should of said "Sarcasm does not communicate on the interweb as well" or something to that extent.
