Damn you Denathrius

It was that smooth arrogance that got me.

I’d started leveling through Shadowlands, following the storyline up to Revendreth. I’d already seen the cinematic for the quest at the end of Revendreth, but I didn’t just want to see it. I wanted to experience it.

Sire Denathrius, that jerk, was so compelling that I not only finished the questline despite reaching level 60, but I picked the Venthyr of Revendreth as my covenant. Not because their covenant abilities were better (not bad, but not great), or they had great Trasmog (not for a Demon Hunter, IMO). I did it because Sire Denathrius was such a good villain, so confident, so hateable.

His fate at the end of his raid was… adequate.

After playing some more, I’m really not a fan of the zone. Navigating it is a special kind of pain in the ass. I just want to do my world quests and not have to run around to try and find where to climb up, or climb over, to do them. I doubt I’d choose this covenant again, and I’ll probably swap out of it when I can.

As Sire Denathrius says, “Remember this lesson.

WoW Leveling Pre-Shadowlands

Well here we are. The World (of Warcraft) has changed once again. Shadowlands is coming… eventually. But in the meantime, we as players can take this time to adapt to Patch 9.0. This means changes to class skills, talents, and dealing with the level squish from 120 to 50.

With the squish comes certain benefits. This might not be a bad time to level up some alts. By all accounts, leveling now is much quicker than before. Bellular (@BellularGaming on Twitter) over at Bellular Gaming cranked out this video to explain just what the Hell happened, how the Hell to level, and where the Hell to do it.

Needless to say, I’m looking forward to leveling a few more alts.

Hell no.
