November Wrap-Up

The long vacation was really nice!!! I purchased an XBOX360 during the break, and devoted a lot of time to Dead Rising. This by far, is one of the best and unique games that I have played in over a year. I admit that I am a fan of B-zombie flicks, and Dead Rising is just one big custom B-movie. Got to love it!! Picked up of Call of Duty 3 at the tail end of my vacation, but I have not played it that much. RPG News: Played some pen and paper over the break, and it was nice break from the norm. Ravenloft 3.5 is a messed up bag of goods, but worth a shot. Made contact with some of my old LARP friends, and got suckered into reviving the game. Do not get me wrong, I loved the game (Eldaraenth) but all the drama queens really pissed me off. So I weather the path for as long as I can, and hope for the best. World of Warcraft: Work on my mage has been slow, but progressing at a decent rate. I am still leveling for every 2hours of playtime, but to get two hours can be a task at times. I rolled an Orc Shammy the other day - Since my guild is all about Blood Elves when BC gets out so I figure off tanking and off healer would be a nice adds for a bunch of Blood Elf Mages and Paladins. lol!! Major Content Patch!!!
Alright I must say that I am impressed with the new content patch. There were a lot of things that were left out of the notes that I later found in game while tinkering around.

I got some cool new ranks of hunter skills, and my overall DPS has improved. But by far the most impressive upgrade was some of the PVP stuff (which looks like a really awesome concept), adding the Draeni and Blood Elf models into the current game (even to the character creation screen), some cool new spell effects, and my personal favorite the paladin.

Now paladins have needed love for a long time, and Blizzard finally made some good decisions about the actual role that a paladin. The last talent tree upgrade was nice, but still did not encompass the problem as a whole. Yeah, the end-game role of the Healadin (Healing Plate Wearer) will probably stick around for a while, but a paladin can actually tank now!

Still lacking in the DPS department (the Retribution Tree helps), but the upgrades Blizzard just made to the paladins they will be more than likely to hold aggro better than the average warrior. Wearing plate never felt so goood! So I will probably rollin with my dwarven pally for a bit rather than my mage!

Warrior, Mage, and Rogue updates really didn't impress me that much, but those are my weaker knowledge areas. Sorry about the long post, but I am just a little bit excited!

So TTYL,
Justin
