10/18 and all's clean...

Setting off for Stranglethorn Vale over the next few weeks. Am working night shifts, so Ive got ample opportunity to plan a few things, like levelling my alts more efficiently (i.e, working out what levels I can get decent crafted gear at beforehand, what zones to stop and catch up on fishing, etc), and getting the fishing hat for the teenage (rampage) mage.

I do shed loads of fishing. I love it. Theres nothing like winding down with a bit of fishing. I like real life fishing, but as the Thames in central London is a tricky river to fish safely, Wow is a good second. Put the radio on, open the Red Stripe or get a coffee, and just fly from pool to pool. from Dal to Sholazar, then Harold Lanes pond in Borean, then Grizlly Hills. In an hour, youll have more fish feast than you could get through on a host of wipes. And plenty of Salmon for your healers is always nice.
I don't do shed loads of dailies. I can't bring myself to lately. I read plenty of gear about the average income and gains on doing 10 dailies, or doing the whole of the argent tournament fandango, but I just can't get into it. Ive only got exalted with the Oracles, and that was because I liked the business with the 7 day egg and killing hordes of bad racoons with Consecrate and Gemstones.

The new outfit option that Blizz has built is very good. Its pleasing to have one less thing to update. Its only Bartender 4 that's really game changing for me now. The AH is fairly obvious without auctioneer, and Omen is merely icing on Blizzards own cake. I should download the Boss mods, but my laptop is struggling with the improved graphics of Wrath, so I'll leave it to those with towers and big screens to call the routes and manouevres. on this front, I'm not PvE orientated by dint of my RL schedule, but it is good to get in the 10man team and hand out a little justice to a target that isnt trying to run around you in a circle.

Have just discovered a new blog about Retribution Paladins in PVP. Its by some guy called Hofflerand, and its awesome. Truly everything you ever wanted to know about why Rets do what they do, mostly in their smug Blood Elf way. I will link it here later. Its amazing, an arena junkie writing really well, from the very top of the table in season 6. This guy makes you want to hang up your hammer, even more than the other melee classes (apart from you, warriors) already do.
