This is my kodo. Her name is Bob. She's awesome.

So just now I was trying to finish my last 3 quests in a zone and I got invited to a group by some guy that was killing mobs near me. I accepted the invite and he said "We're on the same quest." I looked in my quest log and discovered that we were NOT on the same quest. My quest was to kill ogres and I still have no idea what his quest was. I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me. I figured I'd help him anyway.

We're kicking ogre ass and we run into a cave and he says "Quest is in here." so I figured he had to kill a named ogre or get a drop off of an ogre in the cave. We kill all the ogres and finally we see a named ogre. We kill it, he can't loot it, or doesn't loot it and we continue the ogre slaughter. About 5 minutes later a green leather item drops. Of the whale or some such. My "questing buddy" here is a warrior but he rolls need on said item. This and his spec were making me think that he's a new player that doesn't really know how things work yet. Thats fine, we're all new at some point.

I have to admit I was getting a little cranky though because he didn't seem to know what quest he was doing and he wouldn't tell me. Every time we hit a dead end in the ogre cave he would say "wtf man" and turn around. He was using a [Ravager] for his weapon and every time it would proc he would say "Wtf I'm stuck I can't move." So we had to wait 9 seconds for him to be able to move again every other fight. *sigh*

Then he just left the party. I still have no idea what quest he was doing but I hope he got it finished. Thats really all I can say.

They say WoW is noob friendly and in some ways it really is. You can be pretty "bad" at WoW and still do well in it but the game doesn't do all that much to teach you how to play I don't think. It gives you the basics and some of us can figure stuff out on our own but for the most part with things like attack rotations and leveling specs and all that you're on your own unless you read the official forums, which most people don't seem to do.

I hope this guy learns his stuff because WoW is a lot more fun (especially as a warrior) when you know exactly what to do. I don't really know how to give people advice in game because every time I've ever tried, no matter how nice I thought I was being about it, I've been told something along the lines of "OMG Don't tell me how to play my class." /shrug.


For some reason this picture reminds me of Home Alone.

As I mentioned awhile ago I made a tauren warrior. I've been playing that character a lot recently. Exclusively really. I only log on to my other characters for arena and the daily fishing quest.

Naissa is on a PvE server, Moo Cow is on a PvP server. My undead rogue is on a PvP server and so I transfered it over to help with money and whatnot.

I'm trying not to piss off any alliance while I'm leveling because I'd like to level as quickly as possible. So when I see an alliance person I look at level, class, etc and if they're a big threat to me I steer clear of them and if they're around my level I don't go out of my way to avoid them.

I've experienced some world PvP a couple of times and I've been ganked 3 times. Level 70 druid in ashenvale, level 70 paladin in STV, and level 70 rogue in Arathi. My first world PvP experience was with a level 29 paladin in Ashenvale. I was killing Satyrs for their horns for a quest and I was completely ignoring this paladin when suddenly he attacked me. It was pretty close but I won that one. I was surprised because I was dual wielding at the time and he was a paladin.

He came back with a druid friend and they killed me. T_T The second time was in Arathi. There was a hunter 2 levels below me and I ran by it. Completely ignored it, but it stopped what it was doing to attack me. I'm really not sure why. Its pet was still attacking a raptor but the hunter just went for me and so without its pet and with only half of its mana it didn't really stand a chance. Weird. O.o

Leveling a warrior is a lot different than it was when I leveled Naissa to 60. Back then you either leveled as 2H Arms or DW Fury with most people going the arms route because of the miss rate with fury though some people swore by DW Fury. I leveled Naissa as arms. I was considering leveling this warrior as arms too because of it being a PvP server and all but from 20-30 I was dual wielding because I couldn't find a decent 2H. I did some reading on the subject and people now say that 2H Fury w/ Imp Slam is the best way to level. I was skeptical. I got a really cheap blue 2H mace on the AH, specced into Improved Slam and off I went.

I...like it. I shall stick with it. O.o
