Hi Peter,

I thought you must have given it away again. LOL!

I now have my lock Baltic half way to 69 and wandering around Blades Edge. Just before hitting 68 I managed to solo the banner planting quest at the top of the tower in Bloodmaul. It suggests 3 people for this quest. I was life tapping and bandaging and potting but made it through. Locks are OP!!

I have been struggling a little working out the right gear for him. He is deep afflicion so I have been stacking spell damage pretty much to the neglect of any other stat. He has the Netherweave set and I swap around items for the set bonus to further improve as I can. Tailoring is close to 375 and I can get him there while making the frozen Shadow Weave set. Unsure about doing this. As my guild is now farming Kara, Grull, Mags and progressing through SSC, I will be able to take him pretty much straight into Kara and probably pick up T4 gear pretty easy. I wonder if the epioc tailoring set will last very long.

Very tempted to take up Alchemy as pots for raiding are very expensive. Would also mean picking up herbing and levelling both together. Probably a bit of a grind but considering I spend at least 100g on pots for a progression raid it may well be worth it.

Kolan has not had an upgrade since picking up the Dragonspine Trophy from Grull a few weeks ago. I finally completed the trials so the next Mags kill will ge me the "Champion of the Naru" title and a nice ring. Still hanging out for the T5 gear and the huge 2 piece bonus for BM hunters. I'll never have to heal the pet again.

Cheers

I haven't bothered that much in gearing Maexyn but I normally pick up +spelldamage gear (follow link to pathetic armory page). Her stamina seems ok, she can enter a fight on 50% after a couple of mana taps and still live. Gearing through the AH is tough as there are no bargains: +stamina/intellect greens start at 10g, only the +spirit crap is cheap.

I have been wondering about demonology recently, specifically whether it is as boring as affliction can be (dot dot dot mana mana drain life drain life drain soul repeat). It's the wait for the global cooldowns between each one that gets to me, it makes it feel like walking through treacle, plod plod plod.

Then again, once in outlands aren't there lots of demons to enslave? haven't tried that yet. I could practise on the Hellboars in Blasted Lands although I'm going to try to skip those boring animal part quests this time around, even if it means extra grinding in Searing Gorge.

Must try howl of terror in the cauldron, see how many dark iron dwarves I can agro. Soulstone ftw.

Her stamina seems ok, she can enter a fight on 50% after a couple of mana taps wheras the druid would have a heal at 60% (regrowth heal + HoT). Gearing through the AH is tough as there are no bargains: +stamina/intellect greens start at 10g, only the +spirit crap and crafted detritus is cheap.

Maexyn is powerful but cat druid is prob more fun, even with the caster woes.
