Random Ramblings

I managed to get the Druid to 66, then what do I see.... the end of my rested xp... NO! It can not be. You see I have this whole policy about leveling an alt with no rest. It seems that I now have to take a few days off and let rest extend....

/sigh

The bright side is that I am way ahead of schedule.

I went in Kara for the first time in a long time. Got both my tier 4 tokens for my lock and had loads of fun. We had 2 druid healers, a paladin tank, a Panzerkin tank, 2 fury warrios, a mage, a rogue, and 2 locks. We tore the place down. It was a blast. Most if not all were "overgeared" for Kara, but still... and odd mix there.

I am sure by now you have seen info on the new "rumored" WotLK talents. I like a lot of what I see, but what interests me most, as always, is the information on locks. I will never leave Master Demo.... There I said it. I would not leave my felguard.... He will not let me leave... Simple.

Now that the situation is stated allow me to express my thoughts on the new stuff...

There is my build at the moment. It may not suit you. It may not suit me... but right now it gets me all I want out of Master Demo and lets me put out the dots. I do not like the Demon Form. It may rock. I am sure it will.... I just do not like it. I play Master Demo for my felguard. It is how I want to play. It is how I envision my toon. By taking Demon Form, that kind of takes away why I like the class. My personal choice.

Enough for one post....
