My buddy Shawn and I had been playing Alliance Characters on Gilneas and decided that we should devote more of our time to that endeavour. We'd been toying with the notion of deleting our 60 characters on Silvermoon and moving. Shawn went ahead and axed his 60 Hunter and 60 Rogue by dropping a trade skill, picking up enchanting and then disenchanting all his gear and then sending it on to his 51 Druid, which he said wasn't terribly tempting to pursue to 60 because Druids are boring anyhow.

Following suit, I first went after my 60 Warrior... I disenchanted all his gear and after mailing away all the shards was going to go for the Warlock... that's when I lost my nerve. That Warlock has the only Molten Core epic of the two and is a badass DPS machine. At that point I petitioned a GM to revive my warrior and convert all the shards back into his lost gear... no go. Got back a naked warrior. I guess I deserved it though - it was an act of my own volition. I then decided to roll yet ANOTHER warrior!

So in comes my new Undead Warrior. Started him I believe on Wednesday, March 8. At first the levelling was getting a little tedious and then all of a sudden things picked up. I never knew how much fun a warrior could be! Since he was my first character on WoW, I didn't know how to play them. I had my talents in weird, helter-skelter places that really didn't help him much in the grand scheme of things. This warrior I'm breeding to be a kickass DPS machine. Since my Warlock has enchanting at 300, the warrior reaps the rewards of that profession on several pieces of his gear as well... and guess what? As of logging off of WoW tonight he is already level 30... that's right THIRTY! I have some weird drive inside of me to level him to 60 as quickly as possible. He'll be an armorsmith and I intend to gear him out like a champ.

His name does not fit the Phir/Phiir/Phier scheme at all... you probably could not guess his name. I like it that way though - I can redefine my playstyle and nobody has any clue it's me. I run a straight-up Undead crew right now - Undead Warrior, Undead Warlock, Undead Mage, Undead Rogue. I don't know if I'll mess with an Undead Priest for quite a while, but you never know... I could get in a mood...
