...again. Time to neglect more great games just so I can start to re-feed my World of Warcraft addiction. I started playing w/ my daughter some time ago, and so it has kind of revived the game for me. Having a duo buddy there ready to go at any time is awesome, even if said duo buddy is in training. She's a quick learner though.
I am excited about the new changes. I don't raid really, I am a pretty casual player but I have been playing off and on since the games launch. That being said, my favorite class, the Shaman, got some really cool changes. I played enhance on my previous Shaman on Horde, and me and the kid decided to roll Alliance this time around - and of course I love the Shaman so much I started another. This time starting out elemental, which Blizzard has made extremely viable at early levels. I am an AOE/nuking machine with an overabundance of mana. Shhh don't tell them. It's freaking great! I was farming level 19 elites last night, and I am level 21. I am talking with little to no downtime. I couldn't make the blue bar go down. I stacked up the spirit for the new "attack power" increase from that talent and I am having a blast.
We'll see how long it lasts, because if you know me, I am the most erratic and random WoW player probably, well, ever.

Shaman
Concept »
Shaman are mediums between the mortal and spiritual realms. In games, they are often priests with the ability to heal via magic and crafted potions.
4.0.1 sucking me back in...

Glad to see you start up again -- Cataclysm and 4.0.1/.3 will be definitely the best time to hit the ground running as all your vanilla troubles of levelling will be washed away and replaced with a brand-spankin'-new talent tree as well as revamped quests. Mmm, I can't wait to reroll some classes.

Mmm, I can't wait to reroll some classes. "I'm really looking forward to getting a potential game changing ability at level 10, but being stuck in that tree until you max it out is a pretty big bummer. They should point newbies in the right direction without forcing every player to stick to one tree.
I just got to the point on my warrior where I have to start raiding to get better gear, so I canceled my account. Maybe Cataclysm will bring me back in, probably not.
" you're only going to have enough points to reach the 2nd tier on another tree anyway "That's assuming I plan to go all the way to the bottom of a tree, which, granted, will probably be the case but I still think it's a rather pointless restriction to include. It's just to streamline it so that people can't throw points around all willy-nilly and make an inefficient character.

" @Wunder_: I agree, and perhaps this issue will never come up, but the way I see it, it only takes one hybrid build that could potentially work in PvP or whatever for the system to have failed. Freedom is just always the way to go in my book. "I mean - I rarely ran into any "noobs" that didn't want to go directly for the bottom of the tree for their uber talent. Was this really a problem? I mean, were there people that actually tried to go a 1/3 into each tree? hehe
