Sorry I haven't posted in the last couple of weeks. Work has been busy lately and my wife and I are having some work done to the house so its been hard to find time to play and post as well. During this time I also built my first computer! I have always wanted to do this and finally decided to give it a try. I have a friend I met through my wife's work who is a computer guru and he helped me through the whole process. It was really fun! The best part for me was picking out all the components. The actual building part took a whole day! I found that having patience and good troubleshooting skills are essential for the whole process. We ran into a couple of stumbling blocks along the way. First, the bios was not recognizing all of the ram we had installed. Initially, we though that one of the memory modules was bad, but after using a process of elimination, we finally figured out that the bios drivers needed to be updated. Second, after we had installed all of the components, we couldn't power up the system. So we slowly had to retrace our steps and found out that the USB connectors were not properly seated on the motherboard. The system works beautifully now and WoW looks absolutely amazing!
Anyway, back to WoW stuff. Annariel is half way through her 60's and still going strong! She just finished all the quests in Terokkar Forest and is now questing in Nagrand. Here are some of my observations of shadow priest so far: (1) As I have mentioned many times before, it is probably the most mana intensive class I have played. I find myself drinking more often than with any other class. Hunter's have aspect of the viper. Warlock's have the life tap, drain life combo. A shadow priest has spirit tap and vampiric embrace, but it doesn't seem to be enough when leveling solo; (2) Unless I am missing something, a shadow priest has no effective AOE damage. If I have a bad pull and get more than 2 mobs, I usually have to use Psychic Scream and pray that I can get away before dying. (3) A shadow priest can do some serious damage against single targets!
