Yes, I started a second priest. Be glad it wasn't a third druid. Or hunter. :P
I totally agree with your reasons for the second Priest Sorus. :) What kind is she?

And luci, you could totally tank somewhere like Blackfathom. :D

She's shadow now, and I plan to add a hybrid PvP spec when she's high enough to dual spec. Aside from that, no set plans for her. I wanted a new alt and I miss playing shadow, so a second priest seemed like a good choice.

And Luci, if the idea of tanking appeals to you, give it a try.

If you want to try tanking ... roll a druid. The BEAR is the easiest tank in the game! :biggrin:

Second choice is Pally.

But do NOT under any circumstance roll a Warrior!!! 8O *shudders*

Really? Is bear tank the best tank, though? Now, I've never rolled a tank, I'm more of a caster type-of-person, but because my main is a healer, I get to know tanks. All the bear tanks I've run with seem to have a hard time keeping aggro until they get to about a 5.5k gs or higher. =/

When talking with a friend who is a bear tank trying to gear up, he seems to think that Blizz made it particularly hard on druid tanks in the last year... I can't remember exactly how he put it (like I said, I'm not tank expert, just curious)...

Thoughts?

(p.s. I know a lot of tanking is the person controlling the toon, but I'm talking about the actual class's abilities, of lack thereof)

One tank isn't really better than another, it depends on what you like playing.

That's me! :mrgreen:

I ran my level 56 undead Rogue from Thrallmar to Falcon's Watch last night coz I needed to learn Master First Aid. Now I'm so going to abandon all my Azeroth-based quests when I get to level 60 and live in Outland.

You can do that at 58, and Northrend at 68 if you're careful: better cash, better gear, better exp.

Just saying.

No - 58 is a bad number, being neither divisable by 3 nor 5. :)

I can wait for 60. Besides, I have lots of quests to finish. I just need to find someone to run through a bunch of dungeons with me. My NZ WoW friends won't. :(

Live dangerously. Use the random dungeon finder. (Seriously, the tail end of the old world is where you get the absolute worst pugs, in my experience.)

Pick-up group. A random group on a quest or instance. More often than not a pain to have to do.

Yeah. Grouping with strangers you find in the world, in one of the chat channels, or in a random dungeon group is called "pugging" after "pick-up group".

Pop up the dungeon finder, hit join queue, and be prepared for pain. Those instances in the mid-fifties will tear any group with less than half a brain apart, and a person with half a brain in your group is rare.
