Truny has Chosen: The Frost DK

I have been logging in and out amongst my five or six potential toons to actually play to 85 and whose sole purpose is not for the profit or betterment of Truny the Warlock. My hunter is nice and all but I don't know.. he can wait and just sit around mining and skinning for now. Turny, how come not Turny my druid, he can get insta-tank-queues and semi-quick healing queues but NAH I get done in after so many dungeons (two), I'll still play him occasionally just not so frequent.

SO it's down to Klupty the DK. The main reason is: His 525 alchemy skill means I have a chance of finding the Sandstone Drake recipe via archaeologizing, which means I have to stop archaeologizing on Truny and focus my efforts on the alchemists. (Not that Truny's skill is any high probably around 180?)

What is so great about the Sandstone drake other than it looks pretty awesome? PENIS SIZE! I can finally join all the other people sitting in the Valley of Strength for no apparent reason showing off their LARGE THICK HARD d...rakes! Then everyone else just minding their own business would run by me and click on me and inspect this Dragonization and be like "OMG CRY QQ UR SO KEWWLL LOOL"

ACTUALLY... once I do manage to create a Vial I would most likely give it to my Warlock and ditch my DK for a bit while I go drop people out of mid-air. BWAHAHAHA! (I believe using a Potion to Deepholm should work mid-air right??)

The mats to make the vial of the sands or whatever the heck its called seem expensively viable, I mean as long as MOST of the mats are sold at some vendor and don't require RAID REP (I'm talking about YOU ICC EVERYTHING!), I think if Klupty ever finds the recipe he should be set. Just transmute pyrite, then pyrite into true gold, and the flasks he already has in his bag!

But How To Play?

Klupty had helped one of Truny's guildies with mats for the BC level enchanting rod using Primal Might and in turn asked for a port to Stonard which was meant to be a shortcut to discover the entrance to Blackrock Caverns. So yesterday, I queued Klupty into BRC and essentially every other drop was an upgrade. There was no sadness in these upgrades, I had never put much effort in gearing up Klupty so he was mainly in T8s with a few T9s, ICC untouched, so every other drop was just "NEED", "NEED", "NEED SORRY I'M NEW OBVIOUSLY BAHAHA".

I STILL find Frost DK'ing quite button spammy especially once you are done your disease setups and all these icy animations are flashing on the screen (I kept them turned on), such as when Obliterate/Frost Strike WILL crit, or when Howling Blast becomes free. Then apparently we have this new strike which refreshed our diseases? Do I use that? My ice disease always refreshes itself anyways? The last time I put any thought into optimizing my DKs "priorities" was that I had to use my blood runes to make some death rune which was essentially a free rune which meant I could Obliterate more which generated more runes which meant I could use Frost Strike or something like that? How does one play a DK without having to constantly stare at their action bar?

All this is happening in melee which means you have to keep one eye on the action bar and another on the actual battlefield, so you can imagine me sitting there with my head tilted to the side one eye squinting trying to wait for the boss' ability to interrupt it but if I'm looking ALL the way up at the boss' HP bar then I can't see my ability bar so I'm just auto-attacking for a few seconds and it's quite hectic!

Maybe I should go back, and actually READ what rune each ability uses and what refreshes what or what not GAAH! Or maybe not feel like I need to hit SOMETHING at every cooldown......hence the spamminess?

...or I had been thinking....SCREW the diseases, but that would be akin to not casting Immolate on at least SOMETHING ...hmmm.....

...anyways, Klupty will most likely be "levelling" via Archaeology. It seems that for each relic thinger that he finds he receives 0.06% exp which means to level to 82 would require about 150-200 relics? Unless it turns green and rewards less exp? Or unless whatever I don't care anymore.

Klupty the DK

Next Warlock Slave

You know what I am talking about, ALTS! More specifically previously max level alts with max level useful professions which were levelled solely to fund your main character with their useful products!

Who should I level next? Of course I am lazy so there are only four to choose from.

Klupty: JC and Alchemist Slave. I logged onto him yesterday and realized HOLY CRAP he's rich! I had about 6,000 gold on Truny which is seriously not even enough to get a couple dozen points in her tailoring profession as materials and gear and everything is expensive up the hoo-ha on our server. Klupty on the other hand is LOADED as he still has control of my old guild vault and all its treasures, which got me thinking "I should level someone else with all this wealth and make some useless junk for Truny!"

Now to level Jewelcrafting I would have to play my hunter who is the only prospecter I have now. Alchemist is fine as Truny had gathered many a herb on her travels through the new Cataclysm zones.

Klupty is a DK, which means I will most likely be melee dpsing. He is already prepared to do Blackrock Caverns and WAS on the way to discover the Throne of Tides but that was when I saw his wallet and hearthed to hit up the auction house. Frost DPS is nice, good AOE, still kinda button spammy which is completely fine with me. The new spells from 81-85 don't seem THAT exciting, more because they all sound the same to me plague blah blah blah. But I like dual wielding so we shall see.

Turby: The hunter. This was my main remember? He is a fine candidate to level through the new zones next, as I predict that Puppy the what are those dinosaurs called again? Demosaur? No....ah Devilsaur, Puppy the Devilsaur will have 100K hp and can do all the work for him. Also he is a prospector and skinner, yes somehow my hunter became my materials gatherer slave near the end leg of ICC. This could be profitable and I have no gripes about playing my original character again, also the last time I played him in October I remember just having to spam Arcane Shot, which is instant, I like. Also, the new spells from 81-85 are interesting, a shot made for BMs, all traps become launchable, and camouflage! But I'm so used to the Felguard's Felstorm how shall I AOE DPS?

Turny: The durid. He's actually level 81 as I wowarmoried him. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? He is the LW and enchanter of the roster (that's why Turby became a skinner) and was intended to be my "very useful alt" as he is heal and tank specced. He can quest fine in bear spec but his preferred way to level is through healing/tanking, though he'll need to gear up a bit more first as his measly 50K HP is now HALF of what my warlock has and probably won't be able to withstand many hits without mass QQ by the party. Though I do have vague memories of tanking Throne of Tides ...hmm. So either its easy to get a group and level fast but I have to use my brain, or questing as a cat. Hmm, not so sure about that one.

Husbrus: My next highest ALT at 78 is Husbrus the priest. She is an enchanter and tailor? I do not remember but I liked the healing style of Discipline Priests. Shield, then spam Smite cause youd' have nothing else to do for a while, run around and holy nova and use your Angel Wings Thing. However I do not like Shadow Priesting at all, it's too....weird, dot dot blast shadow lasers, unless the animations have been revamped to give it more oomph. Still leaning towards the hunter. Though the priest has the benefit of the Healer Queue time, which is 15 min, the old DPS queue time. Also she won't be sad about gear replacement as she never stepped foot into ICC or heck any Wrath heroics, which means at 80 she'll most likely jump from ilvl 200s to ilvl 295s. Weird!
