World Of Warcraft: Tomb Rage!
So, I will admit I have been playing world of warcraft on and off ever since “The Burning Crusade”. However, my ability to ‘maximize’ my toons skill, talents, abilities, weaponry, and armor…is…well, appalling. So much so, that I had actually had a total stranger come up to me and freak out on me. Mind you, if I am running an elemental shaman I am good to go! However, I decided to branch out and try all other classes, and was met with failure. I created a Draenei Death Knight for the Alliance (go a head Horde and have your hoots and hollers about that). However, I did not do ANY research into this and just jumped right in. So every time I gained a new talent, I would simply pick one that sounded like it could help me. Now, playing as long as I have played, you would have THOUGHT I would have KNOWN better…but I wasn't thinking. So here I am, sitting in Hellfire Peninsula on Overlook waiting for the damn flag to move up so that I could claim overlook for the alliance and complete this stupid pvp quest…and another Alliance death knight walked up to me and started freaking out on me! First words out of his mouth (well..out of the chat) were “DUDE! YOUR SET UP IS HORRIBLE! YOUR TALENTS SUCK! THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE!”. Now…most people would have taken offense to that. Okay, let us be honest, almost EVERYONE would have taken offense to that. I, however, busted out laughing about the whole thing because, unfortunately, it was true, and I knew it. What made me laugh even harder, and had my husband who was raiding in Destiny looking at me funny, was his guild mate was whispering me and apologizing saying that he means well, and just gets over excited and cannot control himself. So I told the guild mate, “I'm not offended, I think it's funny because I know it is true, any other tips and pointers you can give me?” so he sends his guild mate back after me! The amount of information that came pouring out of him for a death knight was AMAZING to say the least. Now remember, I said I played on and off since “The Burning Crusade”. What I really mean to say, is that I have three kids and they come first so if I'm tight on money, my games are the first to get cut off. So much had changed with World of Warcraft since I had last hardcore played. He gave me tips on the glyphs that would work best for me, which talents would maximize my survival rate with the particular specialty I had chosen to go with. Some of the tips he had given me, I would have NEVER picked on my own just because it didn't sound very useful. Boy! Was I EVER wrong! Remember, I did NO research into this prior, and I have never really played Dungeons ‘n’ Dragons so I am not very strong with character stats. So after he explained everything to me, I went and changed up my talents…and lo and behold! I was dying OH SO MUCH LESS! Who knew! So Before you go into a TOON RAGE because someone said your setup sucked, give'em a chance to explain WHY the setup is bad, and decide for yourself if you choose to listen or not…because, honestly, chances are, you're probably not as much of a noob as I am when it comes to creating your toons. Even, still, any and all advise that could improve or maximize your toon, could always help turn the tide for your choice of either Alliance or HORDE!
