WoW: and more WoW
Mark came to his senses about EQ. It’s just too slow for our 60 Priest / Enchanter. Using the Enchanter’s pet anyway. So we decided to do something else. For the time being we will duo in WoW. We found two toons of relatively close level, my 48 Hunter, and his 52 Rogue. We took them out for a successful quick test. My pet is a great tank, which works out for the back-stabbing rogue. I’m happy because I’ve been trying to level this Hunter anyway. I’m now tasked with soloing him to get our levels a little closer. I can grind-solo a hunter in my sleep, or even write this at the same time.
Mike and I have a Pally / Druid combo which is a great team. The Hunter / Rogue may not be as flexible, with no healing capability between us. We’ll be putting out lots of damage though which may work as well. I don’t think it will change my Hunters fighting technique much. Maybe a little more over here instead of over there, but I switch between the two anyway. I’ll just consider the Rogue as a DOT, or as an automated second pet that I don’t need to feed.
We considered Age of Conan and Lord of the Rings Online, both great games, before settling on yet more WoW. I’m not sure why we chose WoW. I guess it was just easier. It doesn’t matter all that much. It’s not a life commitment. We don’t duo that often. Mike and I have a regular schedule. Mark and I, not. Unlike in the old days of EQ, where we met. It seemed like we played every night back then.
