Mists of Pandaria

Unfortunately the "epic battle" I was raving on and on about in the last post was a bit lackluster and leaned towards Stormbluff isle and strongly towards Henge of Denravi at the end leaving them the victors of the match. Eredon Terrace has dropped to world 4th and to be honest I haven't really had time to play guild wars 2 since World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria just happened to come out that same week and all spare time went to that trying to get capped on at least 1 character. I managed to do that within 5 days of only playing 2-3 hours when I could of course more time allotted for weekends since I don't have any classes or meetings.

So far in Mists I have had tons of fun just leveling from 85 to 90 as the quests were humorous and it was not just a grind fest like the other expansions. I actually did not blast music like I normally do because I did not want to miss the jokes or npc interaction between quests which felt fluid. I chose to level my Death Knight first because it was my main for essentially 2 expansions and it is what I am used to especially for massive pulls and just destroying stuff. I played using a Blood spec which was able to tank just about anything and with the new changes added on 5.0 allowed me to pull some amazing aoe damage and whenever I was in an instance for a large boost of exp and gear I was topping meters which I was not used to, this will probably be nerfed as we go on because it makes all the other dps cry apparently "TANKS ARENT SUPPOSED TO DPS QQ." personally its refreshing to see big numbers every now and then but it feels wrong sometimes to do 100k dps on a trash pack while the others are struggling to do 30k and the better ones 50k. Its only the 2nd week of the expansion and there will be balance issues that will be fixed once blizzard looks at the grand chart of raids and how the various classes compare to each other healing, damage, and tank wise.

Started leveling my monk as well and if it gets exciting enough around 60ish I might make it my main alt or possibly a main. I just love the idea of having a Pandaren Monk that drinks beer, doesent give a fuck, big enough to tank with that beer belly, and is just overall a good concept of character. Who doesn't want a drunk tank that is viable?
