Hey guys!
So, I've lately been playing WoW again in preparation for BFA. I posted another thread a few weeks ago, about how much I genuinely enjoyed levelling from 100-110 on both an Orc Warrior and a Human Rogue. I figure I should have both levelled to 110 so I can experience both sides of the story when BFA hits. I like tanking a LOT on my warrior, and being a sneaky fucker on my rogue is also very fun.
So, in the countdown to BFA, and because Octopath isn't quite grabbing me as much as I want it to, I've been thinking about levelling my BE Death Knight. I used to raid on her in WOTLK, and loved how it played.
But fuck ME is the levelling experience an absolute BLACK HOLE now.
About a month ago, I did a Dwarf Hunter from 0-60 and absolutely loved it. I liked how you could go anywhere and level wherever you want. As someone who's been playing since 2004, it was a good "greatest hits" way of levelling for me. I did Westfall>STV>Tanaris and some of my favourite zones. Then I got to 60-80. It was an absolute bomb. Slow as hell, boring as hell, and just an all out grind.
So I kinda gave up at 61, and went back to my aforementioned DK who was already level 85. I RACED through the pandaria content. With a combination of queuing as a tank, and the first area, I did 85-90 in 2 days. Then it was around that time when they re-introduced the stat squish, and it all changed.
An hour ago, I did a quest which rewarded a new weapon. I was excited. A new weapon, in a new expansion's content is meant to be exciting right? Wrong. Take a look at what the benefits of upgrading were:
0.4 DPS upgrade.
ZERO POINT FOUR.
How am I meant to get excited about that? I did the quest, equipped it (it looks fucking DIABOLICAL btw), so I had to get it skinned to something decent, then I got back. My core move now does an extra 4 damage a hit. On enemies with 9000+ hit points.
I hope this changes some in BFA, because at the moment, I don't feel strong. I don't feel powerful. I just feel like a baby with a wooden stick
