Bears and Wolves Hate Me

It’s true.  I started leveling an Alliance Mage so I could participate in some of the Gnomeragan.  It has to be nearly three years since I leveled Catramoo, so, I forgot how it was insanely difficult at the low levels.  There’s the low armor, the cloth armor, and the low survivability before you can easily gain mana back between fights as well as nuke things.  But more so, even though I was on level, I pulled every bear and wolf in the Goldshire area.  And then, I went out to Auberdine and did it again, this time with bears and cats.  It takes a special person to be able to aggro all that wild life.  File that one under odd World of Warcraft talents.

This Week in World of Warcraft

The holidays are gone.  I was gone for most of them so I felt like I was playing a bit of catch up when I got back into it.  My hunter has a fair good number of gear upgrades.  I could afford to upgrade my chest piece to T9 from T8, but, I haven’t felt rushed about it.  I’m nearly there, so it’s only a matter of time.  I’m still trying to get the Orca Harpoon from Heroic Halls of Reflection.  I’m starting to believe I can get a better weapon from raiding at this point before I get that drop.  Autoshotmoo has also found 93% of the Inscriptions in the game.  I’m hoping to make that 100% in time for Cataclysm.  Bit by bit, I have been delving into my Exploration achievement and I almost have this one complete.

I started tanking again after a long break since May 2009.  Even in just my T7, it feels like a different game.  Sometimes, I still mess up, but, considering we made it through Regular Halls of Reflection on my level 200 gear…I think it’s not so bad after all.  I got off my butt and did some Jewelcrafting dailies.  I know everything will be replaced in Cataclysm, but, gathering patterns gives me a sense of satisfaction.

Before January is over,  I also want to get my mage one piece of T9.  I realize that stuff falls from the sky these days; this in no way means I’m not going to enjoy it.  Tyrolos also gave me some enchanting supplies.  I’m hoping to get some sweet points of Tailoring and make my Epic Flying Carpet along the way.

Finally, I have the leveling bug.  It was on my Resolution list to level Mewmoo to 80 before Cataclysm.  I’m at 75, so, if I delve into it every chance I get…well, I think it will definitely happen.
