3.1 Musings

Right, so Ulduar has hit and this is where I'm going to have my little meandering rant about my first impressions and experiences. I recently got over glandular fever and came back to WoW just in time for patch. Here is what I feel, so far.

1) I hate Ulduar.
This isn't said lightly. I've put a lot of thought into it, and I have decided that no matter what the rest of Ulduar holds, no matter what exciting and interestingly well-tuned boss fights lie beyond the gates, it has been RUINED for me forever by Flame Leviathan and the vehicle fights. Gimmicky, irritating, and completely pointless, I have never liked the vehicle sections of WoW, and this boss is a pure annoyance. I will never enjoy Ulduar because of it. EVER.

2) Dual spec is pure, unadulterated sex
I run around as hance all day doing my dailies, and then I pop back into resto when raid time rolls around. THIS is absolute bliss. No longer does it take me almost 20 seconds to kill a mob. I blaze through my dailies. Dual spec was a blessing for hybrids. I'm so pleased.

3) The Argent Tournament is somewhat nifty
New dailies and an amusing interlude. Also, eventually I can get an "Of the Exodar" title. So I'm quite pleased with the Tournament.

4) NEW FISHING DAILIES!
At last, a reason to fish again. And the money shall come rolling in.

Overall, the patch was pretty good, I suppose. I'm not really thrilled though.
WoW has become a tad stale for me at present. WTB Oceanic RP server to break the monotony.

1) Liar. Ref 2-3-4

Its a gimmick, but its short. So write a limerick ;P

I feel your pain, I'm a tank therefor apparently I have a high gear level and knowledge of kiting, so unless you're stuck driving the lumbering Siege Engine. No sympathy.
