All of our characters have grown, post screens and thoughts on your character. Why you choose the growth path (talents) and how you tend to earn your money and in general, play the game.

My Rogue Phyacia (level 27) replaced my Hunter Asgavann a few weeks back. Hunters are cool n all but something about using them felt really repetitive. plus alliance territory was getting old to me. I will say while Alliance outnumbers Horde on most servers, Horde Territories are far more interesting.

I went undead cause they're cooler than cows, and trolls and orcs look stupid. Undead are where its at. Plus will of the forsaken and underwater breathing = ace.

My growth path is almost pure subtlety so far. Ive put 2 points into assassination to boost evicerate, but other than that its all about the initial strike and building up combo points. I also just recently learned poisons, figuring out how that will fit in now.

I will complain that finding one handed swords and daggers at my level in AH is an exercise in frustration. All I find are overpriced cross daggers and main hand swords. I just cant abide with losing my rear attack/dagger dependant abilities. its key for a subtlety rogue imo.

I dueled a Shaman the other day and got my butt handed to me, its clear to me I need to duel more, but my Duels with Tre and Drinky Crow have always been interesting. Tho I found my rogue build is better equipped for PvE than PvP since I tend to lose power as the battle wears on. owever that should change when I learn a couple particular talents.

Tips to duel shamans? I know nailing their totems is key, but perhaps I should manage my abilities in a different order
 
Fubuki is L26 now, Undead Priest. I'm going Shadow/Discipline as I tend to solo. The teens were kind of a slog, but at L20 you get Flash Heal and Undeads get Devouring Plague, a DoT that heals. Some recent talents have made Fubuki a major force to be reckoned with. Mind Flay, an 11 point Shadow Talent, is an effective and inexpensive channeling spell that does decent damage for 50% of the mana of Smite, plus slows enemies to 50% movement speed while channeling. My Discipline tree has reached the point (6 points) where I'm starting to knock time off of the Weakened Soul of my Power Shield - a 30 second shield with a 15 second cooldown time, while a major mana drain, will keep me damage free and able to fire spells off quickly when battling 1-on-1. Priests only seem to get better from L30 on - and get in greater demand as the instances ramp up - so I'm looking forward to the higher level game.

I'm pretty happy with the Priest class, but wanna roll a Horde alt that's more damage/solo oriented and less of a clothy magic caster. Any suggestions for my Gileas character? Horde kinda got goinked as far as Mail goes...
 
Well most of the Gaffers I know went Horde on Gilneas. I heard Shadow Priests are fucking powerful. I mean not invincible but worth the effort. When Drinky Crow is grouped with me I turn into some kind of super dodging tank. Couple that with my crazy DPS and whooo hoooo. I hope I can find a group for a shadow fang keep run tomorrow. The lowbie group I lead through the instance earlier today was so fun.

Er, right. I intend to roll Horde, just looking for class suggestions.

And yeah, I dunno how we'd do at PvP but for PvE, Fubuki is getting pretty rompy and it's just gonna get uglier for the Murlocs from here on out.
 
Well the comments ive heard towards Shadow Priests are in regards to PvP. I dunno, Since youre magic with your current character, I suggest going into melee. Shaman, Rogue, Warrior or Hunter. That way you have enough contrast so you dont lose interest in either one of them
 
Here is the Alliance and Horde dance party. The good will didn't last long. The Horde then waged a massive battle at refguee pointe. I'd say at least 50 + people were involved over the course of it.



So after the Alliance forces finally pushed back the Horde a counter offensive was waged which involved a handful of us attacking hammerfall.



The whole battle ended up lasting like 4 hours. It was a blast. :lol


Here is a pic of me and my group getting ready to finish off the final part of Gnomeregan.




As for right now, I made it to level 37 yesterday and wanted to get to 38 today but that didn't happen with the down time. I've been in a frenzy of leveling since I hit 33 because I knew I was close to getting a mount. Now that I'm closer can almost taste it. :lol It seems like forever since I actually started playing with this character but everything is starting to take shape. Once I get Blessing of Kings, everything will be golden. :D

damn, it's hard to recommend anything but rogue or hunter for that (hunters can use mail at 40 too). although I would also recommend druid (great soloer, not so great grouper despite being an awesome, and I mean awesome, healer) since you can use animal forms (cat form in particular) to fight like a rogue, sorta. I think hunter or rogue are the better choices though. they're purely damage oriented and nothing about them implies casting. both are good soloers, though hunters are better since their pets are godlike tanks. I play warlock and shaman on kilrogg and they're a pretty big contrast, too (cloth wearing damage dealer with pets vs lone hybrid). one word of advice: if you make a hunter, make him/her an orc since they get the best traits for the horde as hunters. if you make a rogue, go for whatever race looks the most appealing to you. I'd play undead more as a race but I hate the way equipment looks on them - it's all ragged unless it's a robe.
 
I picked a Troll rogue, which is great for the regen. Once you get Vanish you can hit and run, and regain health while youre sneaking away. Helpful for soloing too. Rogues are also great for soloing since you can stealth through to the end of the quest ;). A Troll Rogue with Leather/Skinning is a great solo character that you can have a lot of fun with, and deal massive DPS.
 
one of these days I'm going to play a rogue. never played them much in beta (though that was also back when they were pretty gimp) and I think I'd like a melee type like that. I'm not sure, though, since I tend to be more of a defensive type so I may prefer warrior now that tanking isn't just spamming taunt.

hunter is fun to me, but it can get really repetitive. I just like that they kill fast and have virtually no downtime, plus I love shooting stuff with guns in a fantasy MMO.
 
My guy is is "Schtum", a Gnome Rogue. Here he is in a poorly lit picture. He's the one jumping and cheering.

As you can plainly see, he kicks much ass. I've got him at level 24 now, and I'm loving the rogue life. I just spent all my gold on a dagger at the auction house, and I even had to sell my cloak so I could get the final bid in. It was worth it though, because its TWICE as powerful as my old dagger and daggers are a bitch to come by.

After much decision time, I've decided to make my Rogue of the Assassantion/Stealth type specializing in daggers. The reason being is simple, I'm in love with the insane amounts of damamge ambush can do. I'll probably redo my talent tree as I have 5 valuable points invested in the lightning reflexes atttribute, and they would probably be better spent ins omething assassantion based.

I made the decision to go the assassin route after a two circumstances. The first set of circumstances was when I got involved in a really good group (like the one in my picture). I realized I was most comfortable stealthing, hitting ambush and taking off a huge chunk of life, finishing them off witha cool combo and then moving onto the next baddie while his attention was drawn or vanishing. I feel like the rogue is made for this, and the best way to use him in this type is to build up his assassin/stealth talents using 2 daggers. If I'm wrong, please correct me because I want my rogue to be a high damamge dealing stealth monster.

The second set of circumstances that made me realize ambush was my bag was when the Horde raided lakeshire tonight. I did a hell of allot of damamge to some pretty high lvel guys, relatively speaking. I destroyed a lvl 30 mage when I snuck behind him and hit him with ambush. Took off a huge chunk of life, and then he panicked trying to run while I comboed and finished him off. Envigorating! It was also great to get behind some pretty high hunters and rok them (with a little help from friends).

I've got the whole ninja look down, now all I have to do is make his talent tree better. Got 5 in each group. Like I said before, think its time I take the 5 out of lightning reflexes and put them somewhere better...but I do want that dagger specialization that comes in combat.
 
My rogue is up to lvl 50 and my warrior (who is mothballed until they fix the damn class) is sitting at 43.
 
My Warrior has been at 46 for some time. I've used up my affordable respecs.. if I was smart, I'd have speced fury and soloed till 60, then respeced for defensive.. but I love doing instances. So I'm waiting for family and friends to catch up.

I've got a shaman up to level 31, very fun class, but I've heard they are less useful post 50 in instances. This will probably be my battlegrounds toon.

Started a druid last night to play with one of my brother's alts.. assuming it didn't get rolled back do to all the problems heh.

I have a 20something rogue on a pvp server somewhere. Kal'something.
 
My NE Warrior hit level 32 off of discovery experience on Saturday, so that was pretty awesome. Oh, and I got this nice dagger in Gnomeregan the other day. I feel sort of bad having it because I don't use it much and you can't trade it. I know there are rogues who could really use it. You should try to get it, MAF.

Did my first instances this weekend. Gnomeregan and then the Stockades. I love Gnomeregan, the music is great and it looks like a R&C game. Definitely going back there. The Stockades were a little below my level but I had to do a quest there. Kinda boring but the party I had for the second trip was great. Everyone did their thing and didn't act like an asshole.

As far as making money goes, I guess I'll try farming mobs. The market for leatherworking completely bottomed out about ten seconds after I spent five gold for the next skill level. Heavy leather stacks were worth 80-90 gold and now they're at half that. Mining is OK but I never feel like actually doing it. I've had some OK luck farming at the Charred Vale.

Maybe after I get a mount I'll finally be able to stop playing this game long enough to play MGS3 and MP2. I'm completely ignoring my favorite franchises for a virtual tiger and loving every second of it.

If you enjoy grouping, take that toxic revenger and smash it into little bitty pieces. It is so utter rubbish, just yuck. You'll understand once you chain break some mages poly with that awesome area effect 5 dmg dot. 5 fucking damage.
 
Echos of Pink: Where the hell is Judgement on your bar????

As for myself... because of my moving back to Scotland (with a server that disallows game playing over the net) my lvl 30 Dwarf Paladin is on the shelf... and will be for 5 months. I was initially planning on speccing him in Retribution (damage dealing) but felt, later on, that his abilities in the Holy Tree were FAR greater. I felt that with Holy, I could better control my party, as well as deal a significant amount of damage with mana (coupled with drowing myself in Stam/Int armor). Going One Handed or Two was still up in the air... but I was going to re-spec until I hit lvl 40 (when group XP/lvling is mostly at it's height, IMO).

I miss him and I miss the game. Hopefully the standard of play will have increased when I return in 5 months :)

Well I'm a warrior so I don't really use it anyway. I just put it in the off hand occasionally when I'm soloing and want to get my dual wield on. It was nice because it did more damage than my axe did when I got it (level 30) and it's fast so it helps build rage. The added damage is OK, but most weapons at my level that have "chance to hit" type damage don't really do much (and if they do they cost way more than the free I paid for this dagger).

The rogues over at the WoW forums seem to be all up ons, though.
 
Here's my rogue Touco(Tuco was taken) proving he is indeed down with the horde riding the zep to the UC.

If you solo, its fine, but in groups it is totally useless. The proc does absolute crap for dmg, but is area effect so it breaks poly/sleep/mez/gouge/etc... and gets unbelievably annoying.
 
47 Frost/Arcane Mage
48 Shadow/Disc Priest

Got the ultimates in Frost and Shadow because they are both very good for my playstyle, though I'll be swapping to Holy/Disc on my priest in about one level or so FULL SPECTRUM INSTANCE HEALBOT or what not.

I want a tank but low-level warriors really blow IMO, and I don't really want a paladin, since alliance has plenty of those already.

Edit: MAF, totems are going to be a pain as a rogue because targeting them means losing all combo points on the shaman. I recommend trying to work to a kidney shot and try to finish off the shaman while he's stunned if you can-might have to give him a kick to stop his heal.
 
42 (almost 43) Paladin on Bloodhoof


Kinda burnt out on the game, the game hardly posses any challenge and I don't feel like making another guy.

Going to take a break, might jog my interest in the genre again.

I have a 50 rogue, 43 warrior and a 22 Hunter, while I work a full time job and enjoy several social activities. Leveling is just super mega hyper fast in this game if your IQ exceeds your shoe size.

How do I find out my shoe size?
 
I have a 35 Human Rogue and 34 Elf Druid. Just messing about really whilst waiting for the EU version to come out. Definately going Horde for that, Alliance really gets old fast. I aim to do a Troll Rogue, Undead Priest, Tauren Warrior and Orc Shaman.
 
well, if we're sharing levels:
49 orc warlock
23 tauren shaman
next character I'll work on is probably a troll priest, but that's going to be after I get my warlock to 60 (which is like a month away most likely) and my shaman up to 40+, probably higher so I can twink the hell out of the priest to make leveling him up a little less of a hassle.

shamans aren't terrible at 50+ pve, but they aren't capable of filling any main role. it's just a good thing they can actually heal well so they can do upper level instances as a backup healer (they handle the flash heals, priests handle the renews/big heals).
 
If you're in a duel situation and the shaman drops totems before the timer starts, a sap+totem kill is a good start if you can get it off. I might just try a straight melee dump on them, trying to time your gouge at the point at which the shaman shock timer is about to come up again. This will give you an easy BSshot as well as buy some time to get a touch more energy and force the shaman to face you to shock you.

If you get kited with frost shock, the fight is harder. Might want to use sprint when you see the effect go off immediately to try to keep up, spamming BS on the runner.

Finally, I would try to get the evis off at about 40-45% and then kick the inevitable heal that will come soonthereafter, then try to SS him to death before he can cast again.

I would try to ignore totems after the fight starts. You want to get him to the point where he has to heal, and then kick the heal if you can to "close" the fight.

Currently, I just have a level 45 Tauren hunter w/ King Bangalash and a Carrion Bird as pets.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! NICE!!

So did you tame him and then have him beat the crap out of his protectors? LOL!

alas as a Warlock, while my "tameable pets" (aka demons) can get cool, they don't last very long (5 minutes tops the first enslave and then diminishing each enslave after that). I did enslave the named elite demon in Manroc Coven though :D he lasted for about 20 minutes or so before I could no longer control him (cost me like 6 soul shards though :( )
 
Level 20 almost 21 Human Warlock Qynn on Kilrogg

Being the non-hardcore MMORPGer I am, I always have my rest bonus :D. I'm still having a lot of fun though, and thankfully at my own "having a life" pace thanks to WoW's design.
 
I have a Level 2 priest on one of the RP servers. I spend all my time hectoring newbs about spilling innocent kobold blood and encouraging everyone in town not to attack our "Horde brothers" and questioning who is paying the "blood money" for killing various beasts and the "other."

I actually had a crowd around me the other day and I was lecturing the group about their ignorance of kobold culture and decrying their ignorance of Alliance racism and resource raping. I was laughing my ass off at how some people were taking me seriously and getting really angry at my character.

I was basically applying Marxist theory to Azeroth and playing the Jane Fonda role. Good times. I might actually play a conventional character and try to level up, but right now this is a lot of fun.
