Well, guess what happened to my Rogue today? He’s now an 81! Yes.. an 81. My second-highest char now. He’s also, shockingly, not getting his ass kicked anymore.<\/p>\n
How my Rogue got to 81 is a long story. Back in GS, I was still wondering how am I going to grind his First Aid up to use Embersilk cloth. Thought of searching for an addon that would assist me in grinding for the mats. To tell me how many more I would need, and what humanoids drop it. There’s nothing like that anywhere. I also stupidly asked Trade chat, which I was laughed at for.<\/p>\n
Alittle later, my other friend, Monkeyguy PMs me and asks if I’m going to stay a Level 80 forever. His words angered me since I already told him before why I cannot. Told him I needed better gear, and I might be forced to start raiding. All he did was laugh.
\nSo I asked the unhelpful person if he knew what else would help me, and he said to continue questing in Cata areas.
\nDoes he not know what I’m saying? I can’t do it!! I had to tell him again that’s impossible for me due to fact I get my ass kicked.
\nHe said, that this is perfectly normal, and to trust him. Who knew those somewhat helpless words would mean something, and would actually help me.<\/p>\n
First I needed to get my FA(First Aid) up, to be at par with Cata. Youtube helped me this time, giving me a quick yet not too cheap way to get to skill level 400. Which.. meant go to the AH and buy the mats.
\nThe process took like an hour, and it nearly made me broke, but I got it done. Now, was the matter of using them instead of food, and also ignore the thought they can kick my ass.<\/p>\n
Back in Mount Hyjal, I tried to kill a few guys. I wanted to see if I did better damage with either Combat, or Sub on two of the same mob. The results were interesting (and so was this chest piece I got from a quest reward).
\nSub does more DPS, but Energy regens slower. I can do more on Combat.<\/p>\n
About the chest piece I mentioned. It seemed that since I put it on, I was taking alot less of a beating than before. It was like I’ve been buffed. Been finding other upgrades for my gear, allowing me to hit harder and survive longer. Looks like Monkeyguy was right. His words were gibberish, yet… were right. And soon he finally dinged to 81.<\/p>\n
. I now see a reason why alot of people like this place, and now have a respect for the area. It’s due to the lore. Getting the ancients to save Hyjal from burning to the ground due to the Twilight’s Hammer cult, and the Firelord, Ragnaros. Some of the quests I haven’t done yet are actually alot of fun. This leads up to actually battling with Ragnaros to banish him from Hyjal and send him back to Molten Core, with three other elites assisting you. And this is where I hit 82. But I found the battle.. sub-par. I wish he fought like…. well.. I never actually fought him because I never did MC. He just didn’t fight like a raid boss should (especially the fact he’s one of the classic yet popular raid bosses). All I can say. Now I’m back in Vashj’ir, kicking the ass of every non-elite I see. I’ve never felt so powerful and confident before. Every Naga I’ve seen, I attack so fucking fast now, and manage to kill them with 95-97% health. Sometimes… they don’t lay a claw on me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, guess what happened to my Rogue today? He’s now an 81! Yes.. an 81. My second-highest char now.

\nNow for another thing I wanted to go over. When I was in Mount Hyjal as Benie, I said the place sucked due to the lack of quests. Actually… what sucked was the lack of my eyes, seeing there is<\/strong> other quests.<\/p>\n
\nSuch as the one of climbing trees and saving bear cubs, then chucking them at a landing pad. And the one where this disembodied voice tells you that you’re now in control of healing “the mountain”, which is Hyjal.<\/p>\n
\nThough he yelled like a raid boss, so I guess that was good enough.<\/p>\n
