| Ki'Leana Is 70 :) |
| Monday, November 3, 2008 |
Ki'Leana made it to level 70 Friday evening. She leveled in Blade's Edge while finishing up the quest where you combine the bird feathers with Arrokoa (sp???) globe things and free the tree guys from being possessed. (OK, so I can't remember the quest name. lol) Hang on, I'll look it up......
It's called "Exorcising the Trees." The actual stuff you combine "Combine the magic of a Grishnath orb, found throughout Grishnath, with a dire pinfeather from a dire raven". Yes, I was a little off there. No Arrokoas. Whatever. :P
Anyway, when I turned that quest in Ki'Leana became my second 70 character. I immediately dumped all the quests from her log that I had been putting off, and never intend to do, and headed back home to Silvermoon for training. Then after spending a fortune on training, I put all her accumulated stuff on the AH, cleaned out her bags, upgraded her gear and enchants as best I could and headed for The Isle of Qel'Danas to do dailies.
That was an experience. Ki does well with the dailies. But I have only ever done them with Pallanen so I had to learn a bit of restraint. Pally grabs 5-6 mobs and wipes them up. Ki'Leana can handle maybe 3-4 but that's it. The only bad area for Ki'Leana is where the demons and the Emissary of Hate are. There she had trouble with too many mobs jumping her all at once. Eventually I figured out a decent approach and now she is safe there.
Ki'Leana does the dailies almost as fast as Pally can. She is already just a few points from being revered. I have done the dailies every day since leveling and I do the ones from Shatt that give the same reputation points (not the flying ones). I forget how long it takes to be exalted but Ki will get there fast. The advantage is that when I went there with Pallanen I had to learn it all. But I developed a pattern with Pally and now I use it with Ki'Leana and get the dailies all done in about an hour. It's much easier now. :)
So on Friday, within just one hour of leveling to 70 the Guildies were asking me to heal an instance for them. They know Ki'Leana is still Shadow but they wanted me to heal The Arcatraz. They felt it wasn't a big deal so I went. We cleared the whole place with just 4 of us. We had a Paladin tank, a Warlock and a Mage. The Warlock made a soulstone for Ki so the 2 times she was jumped and got wiped I could rez her and keep going. I had never been there before but Ki'Leana did get some decent gear. She has quite a few blues now. She got Mana-Sphere Shoulderguards and the Lamp of Peaceful Repose to name the 2 best things. She got quite a few other things for Disenchanting too.
Ki'Leana did really well healing the group. Keeping the Tank healthy was pretty easy. Most of Ki'Leana's heals were between 2000 and 4000. Sometimes a bit higher. I don't know if that is good or not but it kept the group alive. There were a few times when the Mage got hit hard and even once he got wiped out. But most of the time my heals were concentrated on the Tank and were good enough.
There were 2 rooms in the Arcatraz where Ki's heals were lower. I couldn't get them above 700-800. It was annoying. To me, it seemed like there was some kind of dampening buff there or something. Those 2 places really burned her Mana down fast. If anyone knows what the deal is there, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
Side note: I have been doing a lot of Disenchanting and most of what I get, even from level 70 stuff, is Arcane Dust. I'm assuming I'll need it eventually but right now I have tons of it and no enchants to use it for.
Yesterday I remembered a quest that Ki got a while back to do some PVP in Battlegrounds. Then I remembered how Pallanen got some nice quests at the entrance of Alterac Valley so I took Ki'Leana to the Horde entrance. There were several quests there for her. So I did my first few trips into AV as a Priest. That was an experience! With my Warrior girl Pallanen, it's an easy thing to run Battlegrounds. With a Priest, not so much. The Warrior has many effective way to help the battlegroup. I had a hard time trying to find the niche as a Priest.
One thing I liked a lot was guarding graveyard flags. I could see enemies coming so dotting them and slowing them down for damage was nice. But being in a crowd of enemy fighters makes for a lot of deaths for a Priest. When I am doing BGs with Pally, I take out the Healers first. Even the Shadow ones. Thats what was happening to Ki'Leana. lol She does not last long whne the Alliance focuses on her.
I did have fun running up to flags and fearing anyone trying to capture them. That always annoyed me and now I get to do it to others. But it doesn't take long for them to recover and come back after me.
One thing is clear to me about Battlegrounds now though; it doesn't matter which side you are on, people do not work well together. They also like to bitch and complain and call names. (I still find that odd.) The Hordies are no different than the Alliance when it comes to any of that. Plus they do the same dumb things like not guarding flags and towers.
One time I took back the Iceblood Tower from the Alliance (solo - whee!) and kept asking for help to defend it. For 5 minutes I kept telling the group I needed help to hold it. That I was just a Priest and couldn't hold it alone. Hordes were riding by that tower the whole time and when an Alliance Hunter and Warlock came by and took it back, people started bitching. I just laughed at them all. What else can you do?
Wow! This post got long, didn't it? lol
So this weekend was a good one for playing WoW. I will be running dailies with Ki'Leana and then switching to Sairalinde until the expansion comes out. Then I will be leveling Pallanen to 80. I think Sairalinde will make 70 before the 13th. I played her a bit yesterday and she is just 2 bars from 65 already. I'd like her to make it asap and I think it is doable. We'll see, I guess. :) |

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
