So as I’ve been going along playing my shiny new Troll Mage, I find I miss a certain amount of the play style of my Draenei Death Knight. Yes sadly, while I stand back and cast spells I miss a certain amount of the rush in and get in the middle of it that is part of the play style of the Death Knight. There is a bit of satisfaction gained in melee play. The feeling of really getting in there and bashing virtual skulls only comes with melee. Casters just don’t have that.
Don’t get me wrong, casters, when soloing have to deal with the mobs up close and personal. That’s for sure. And no a DK doesn’t always have to get right in there to get things done. There are some ranged attacks and for lower level mobs that’s all they need. For a caster, that is your main bag of tricks. Yes, there is the staff or wand for up close and personal but let’s face it unless your spell has a range limit, you are going to use your spells they just hit harder. And they take time to cast, most of the time.
So as I was playing my Mage I was impressed by an Orc Rogue. The speed with which he was able to dispatch mobs was impressive. Ok he was twinked. He wore heirloom gear. Still, watching him made me think that a Rogue could be a lot of fun. So in addition to my shiny new Mage, who I’ve leveled up into the 20’s now, I have also rolled a shiny new Rogue.
My shiny new Rogue is also a Troll. The base characteristics of the Troll, to me, make them ideal for Rogues. The rejuvenation helps, the ability to get out of some snares, and the dual wield option are definite pluses for starts. And so another new toon to level. I’ve chosen the skinning and tailoring professions for her. I figure, the skinning should help with the anatomy specialty that comes with it. And tailoring, well someone needs to do it. This way I can make some bags for all those poor lower level toons I now have on this new server that need more bags.
If that weren’t enough, well, I decided to try out the Warrior. Yes, I turned right around and created a shiny new Warrior. This one is an Orc. Let’s face it, on the Horde side, really Orc and Warrior are almost made for each other. So I have a lovely new Orc Warrior. She’s within a couple of levels of the shiny new Rogue.
I’m not sure who will end up being my main on this server. I’ll just have to see who I end up leveling highest first. I classify main as the highest level and most played and loved toon. At the moment, it’s my Mage. Mostly because she’s the highest level .
I just can’t decide what style I want to play, ranged and soft, melee and not so soft but quick, or melee and with reasonable armor. It’s ok. I’ll likely through more in the mix before I’m done.
