An Ode to Treants

Well, the time is here.  I have about 6 more hours of grinding/questing and I will hit level 70.  Vindisiel is already there, and Seacrest out shouldn’t have too long to go.  Arena will happen this weekend.

I’m a bit worried about our lack of gear.  In truth, I was hoping we’d hit 1600 this weekend because of a non-traditional, yet strong, setup.  However, we tried to gank a well geared 70 warlock who absolutely destroyed myself and a feral druid.  We had no hope of out DPSing his drain life and he had the HP of both of us combined.  I know I just made a post about how warlocks can be beaten by moonkins, but this guy really outgeared us… PvP does make a huge difference.

Our gear is going to be a major problem, but we always knew that.  I am looking forward to the growth process.  Each week we’ll get much better ratings since we’ll have 1-2 new pieces of gear per week and our communication will evolve.

I have about 3.5k gold so I am not going to be able to get epic flight form quest upon dinging 70.  However, I’m sure I’ll have 5k by next weekend which will still be amazing.  It really is easy to get 5k gold if you level using mining and herbalism.  After that large purchase, and since I’m not raiding, I’ll be rolling in cash.  On my warrior we were able to sell arena teams.  If our 3v3 or 5v5 is good enough, then we can make a ton of gold doing just that.

I have 32,000 honor saved up.  I don’t know what I’ll be able to get with that, but I’m hoping the +20 resil trinket plus boots.  I plan to do a ton of BG’s, when not doing arena, so hopefully I can get close to another vindicators piece.

Also, if there is enough time, I may try to run Kara (after getting attuned of course) with some friends I’ve made on the server.  Since we all come from a raiding guild that stopped farming Kara months ago we won’t need any direction on the boss fights.  That instance is easy enough that even with our gear we can help out since it’s unlikely we’ll screw up.

Lots to do… good thing it’s a 3-day weekend!
