Changing Mains for WoD
World of Warcraft is celebrating their ten year anniversary. So, like, congrats and stuff.
Over the past ten years, every class has gone through a serious makeover. Some classes didn’t even exist ten years ago! But with that evolution comes a change in playstyles for players. Some players will adapt to these changes. Others will abandon their class and look for something they’re more comfortable with.
Some folks are looking for something different. They’re tired of adding to hp’s and are looking for a class that will take that pesky health away. They’re bored with staring at the butt of a raid boss and would rather stand back and throw bolts (mystic or otherwise).
Blizzard has said that as far as the Warlords of Draenor beta is concerned, they are finished with the major class changes. How things are is how they will be. Some classes have changed, and some have not. That means there are people who might not like how things sit with their class.
I’m digging the Windwalker Monk, but I’ll reserve judgement on who will be the first to get to 100 until 6.0 and the class changes take effect. Once the revamped classes go live in October, I’ll probably make my decision then. Everything is up in the air.
Have you been paying attention to the changes for your main? Are you sticking to your guns, or are you looking to make a switch for WoD?
Easy Timeless Isle Coins
When I first came back to WoW, I read that the place to go to gear up was Timeless Isle. Easy place to go and pick up purples that were quite literally just laying around. Oh, and expect to die once or twice. “Fine,” I said to myself. “I’ve got no issues with dying. Let’s go see about liberating some purple gear from the local inhabitants.”
As advertised, I picked up purples. I also got killed quite a bit. And when I checked my bags to see if that’s where my teeth had ended up, I found a whackload of Timeless Coins. These didn’t impress me since I wasn’t planning on spending any more time on the island than I had to. They impressed me much more once I found a profitable way to use them.
But once all the sweet, sweet coins were gone, then what? Where could I get more of them? I didn’t have the legs for dancing on mailboxes. That’s a young man’s game anyway. I suppose I could check some of the quests the locals were bragging about to pick up more, but that probably meant dealing with those damn elites! Also, I had business elsewhere in the World. Places to go, gold to make. It’s all about the cha-ching, baby. No time for battling such uphill shenanigans when I was on a fixed clock.
That is, until I found a way to make the most of my time. I’m all about making the most of my time.
What I found was Wowfreakstar, his broken English, and a slick way to pick up Timeless Coins.
