| Getting Over The Phobia |
| Wednesday, April 23, 2008 |
I have been neglecting my Casters for a long time. Merenwen (the Mage) and Earane (the Warlock) have been idle for months simply because I was really bad at playing them. My Main being a Warrior and my main alts being a Hunter and Rogue and another Warrior, well I just had no clue as to how to play a class that used spells to fight. Poor Merenwen must have set a record for trips to the graveyard by the time I got her into her 30's. lol
This past week I decided to bite the bullet and learn my little girls better. I spent a lot of time with Earane in Ashenvale. She leveled several times and, amazing to me, never died once. I started to get the feel for her skills and how to use them. (I still have no clue as to how to use the soulstone thingy but that will come eventually.) I plan on taking her through the Deadmines soon and also doing the Stonetalon quests. I'm still not sure what spec to use for Earane. I have been doing Demonology but I think Destruction looks like fun. Anyone stopping by this blog who has advice, I'd appreciate it.
I also have been playing my Druid Earanel a lot. She is a lot of fun to play. Using her different forms to fight and being able to heal herself is very cool. Plus she has several caster talents that can do a lot of damage. I really like the shadow damage thing. It seems to me like shadow damage is the hardest on enemies.
I like to push the limits with Earanel sometimes. Using the Bear form to take life from an ad several levels above her and then backing off and healing and returning to the fight. It works well. I learned that from all the PVP Pallanen has been doing. Druids do that to her a lot. They can't beat her one on one but when they use those tactics she rarely wins a fight. So now I'll do it to others. :) Earanel has also leveled several times recently.
So all this XP I've been having with my little girls made me wonder how I could do with Merenwen. I started playing her Monday evening. She was just turned 38. I went right away to do the Alterac Ruins quests to see how well I could do there. She had to kill the Warmongers in the higher level side of the ruins. They were 39-40. I went in and started using her Frost Bolt to slow them, then used her Arcane Missles(which are the coolest looking things to use) while the ads were slowly coming toward her. When they got close I would freeze them in place and back off. Then use the ultimate weapon, her Fireball followed by a Fireblast. That usually wiped out the big fat Ogres quickly.
I was having so much success pulling one ad at a time that I decided to go after the Elite caster guy who you get the Perinold Tiara (sp???) from. I cleared the Ogres near that area and when he came out I let him have it. He was a 38 elite (Merenwen being still 38) and I was a little concerned. But she handled him well. Merenwen did have to use one healing potion during the fight but she never really was in trouble. It was a lot of fun.
So I started running around Arathi and Southshore clearing out the quests Merenwen had in that area. She even went into the Ogre cave in Arathi to get Trelane's Wand (or whatever the right name is) and never had a problem. he turned 39 that evening.
Last night I decided that Merenwen should be 40. It was so long overdue. So I took her to Stranglethorn and started clearing out all those quests. None were as hard as the Arathi ones so it was a cakewalk. Except for the one where she had to go into the Troll ruins and get copies of the big tablets. (I think it was called Kurzen's Curse???) That was hard but she did well. Before the evening was over Merenwen was 40.
Now she has a mount and I trained her in Portals where I could. She can port anyone to Stormwind, Ironforge and Exodar. When she is 50 she can do ports to Darnassus.
So I guess I'm over the phobia of playing casters. I only understood melee fighters and still, those are what I understand best. I still like to have Earanel use her staff and fight sometimes. :P But now I feel much better using spells. I have to mark all this up to all the PVP that Pallanen has been doing. Watching how the other classes have fought with her and seeing what they do that works and doesn't work has really helped me a lot. It's all in the experiences you gain I guess because now I feel just fine with all my girls. Playing PVP has even more advantages than just the nice rewards. I highly recommend it to anyone now. If for nothing else just to get experience with the different classes you play and that play against you. It helps a lot in the long run. Trust me.
Who knew? :) |

About Me: I started playing WoW after my best friend bugged me to play. I soon learned that I really liked it. Now 2 years later I still play and have 20 characters. LOL I am no gaming expert. I am no WoW expert. A lot of the terms and "how to do's" elude me still. But I love to play. All you will find here are the adventures of Pallanen and her sisters. I love them all and they really kick butt. So stay tuned and maybe we can learn stuff from each other that we never knew. xoxo
