The Nerubian Conquerer is mine!!!!

I had a very good night in Naxx yesterday!  Not only did this amazing gun drop for me, but I also got my Tier 7 Leggings!  My rolls have been horrible lately, so I was really fortunate to get these awesome upgrades =)  The only thing left for our guild to accomplish before patch 3.1 comes out is to down Malygos.  Our first attempt did not go so well.  We will be trying him again this Sunday.  I have a good feeling that we will do it!  If we are successful, I will get a new title, "Champion of the Frozen Wastes"!

My Death Knight is coming along nicely as well.  She is 75 now & is questing in Dragonblight.  I decided to have her learn Mining & Skinning so she can supply my other characters with mats.  Let me tell you, leveling those professions from scratch was not fun at all.  I think that since DK's start at level 55, they should be able to start 2 professions at the equivalent level.  To have to go back to the starter areas to level your skill is just a horrible time sink.

My Death Knight turns 70!!!!

Well I'm back to accomplishing my original goal of having a level 70 character for each class!  I think it might be time to start the process of leveling all my alts to 80.  If I think about it too much, it becomes an overwhelming prospect.  So I'm just gonna take it one leveling project at a time.  Since I've been enjoying my Death Knight so much, I'm gonna focus on getting her to level 80 next.

I find Death Knights to be the ultimate leveling class.  They can take on multiple mobs at the same time better than any other class in my opinion.  Think a combination of Protection Paladin & mage in one package and you kinda get the idea of how powerful these guys are.  My DK is specced unholy right now & I love it.  Her AOE damage is insane & with abilities like Bone Shield and Death Strike, she can survive quite a beating & heal herself too!  Add a permanent ghoul pet for extra dps and you have quite a powerful character!

However, what I am most interested in trying with my DK is tanking.  It seems that tanking with a DK should be a very unique experience.  I've tanked with my Druid, Paladin & Warrior.  So far, Paladin has been my favorite tanking class, but I have a feeling that the Death Knight will be just as fun =)
