[...] OK, this is about as in-depth an analysis of 3.3 as I gave of Blizzcon. The thing is I didn’t make it to [...]

I bet you had the same issues when you moved back to the US… it doesn’t take long for the read reader to fill… weekends are bad enough.

I have been trying to keep blizzcon stuff… but after listening to 3 podcasts on the stuff (OK, maybe 20% of each.. then I just marked them as listened), I dare say I will be fireblasting individual blizzcon posts pretty soon.

Apart from anything else I need the time to follow Krizzlybear’s world journey.

I had a pally once… now he is just a banker…

I found by level 10 I couldn’t get hurt… which got a little boring.

I think A & B are spot on, especially the gearing…
Spirit… trash..
Of the whale… vendor…
Spell Power… mmm feed me…

Talents of course are the other variable. I think Blizz has spent a bit of time taking talents that were in higher tiers and made them available sooner…

Hey Prelimar,

I am always keeping an eye on the Home of the Gnome, but I haven’t had much in the time to post or even reply… The blog has been great for feeling supported over the last month.

I guess *IF* the Gnomes polish the chrome and add a few more lifts and teleporters I will head back home… but you know, those Dwarfs have been mighty kind to me… and they have the best booze in Azeroth!

No living bomb on my account… it’s one of the few things keeping me sane lately, even my wife has been encouraging me to play (although with a house full of crap, that may slow down a little now).

I think it is a combination… I know even back before WoLK… actually, it was before TBC, when I 1st rolled Gnomeaggedon, I was surprised at how little I was dying, even though I was squishy…

But of course I had paid my dues on my Hunter and Druid.. I knew when & how to engage in combat… and most importantly I knew when to run.

lol, mark all as read.

hat pretty much sums up my same ‘staying on top of’ the blizzcon news flood tactics.

Well I have a side project, a pally I started from scratch, no gold, no bag, no nutting. I got him to 48 so far. I say it’s alot easier, cause a mage is hard to level we so squishy.

Pallies are just OP I think. When I’m downing a 21 elite, at 21, man that’s insane.

I think it’s easier cause A> We know what were doing now B> Gear is in abundance now C> Talents are so much more powerful.

yay, thank you for checking in. glad to hear you’re doing well. we’re still here!

no, on to the matter at hand:

you can NOT convince me that you don’t want to retake gnomeregan! you are a GNOME, man! it’s in your blood! it’s all you and your kin talk about! “FOR GNOMEREGAN!”… you’re seeing the place now in it’s trogg-slogged worst. imagine if the gnomes had time to come in and spiff up the place. it could be awesome.

Well, at least you haven’t cast a living bomb on your account yet. Good to hear from you Gnome!

And yeah, it’s strange how easy the old world is. When I level my druid I ask myself if it’s because of heirloom gear, nerfed mobs or the fact that I have more general experience of the game. Probably it’s a combination.
Those hellfire boars don’t scare me the way they used to once upon a time when I was a young and innocent pigtailed mage.
