First!

It is time for the obligatory "welcome to the blog" post, so here you go.

First, a little about the author/player. My name is Sarah, and I play World of Warcraft. Specifically, I play a blood elf rogue named Myrandah on the realm Thorium Brotherhood (woo RP server!). Well, that is my main character anyway. I have a healthy/unhealthy case of alt-itis, so the other characters I play include a tankadin, a blood death knight, a disc/holy priest, and the co-star of this blog, my quickly-growing feral druid.

Since I first started MMOs, I've always had a preference of melee classes to ranged or casters. If I can't get up in something's face and punch it a few times, or if I can't take a few punches myself, it drives me pretty nuts. Seriously, that priest I mentioned? I think it took about a year to level her because I was so terrible with it. I tried to pick her up again since the release of Wrath, but... well. Maybe one day, right?

Anyway. Of all the melee classes, rogue stood out as the most unique and interesting. I mean, being able to sneak past all those mobs you don't really feel like killing, only to pocket the desired item for a quest right under their noses or while they are incapacitated from a swift blow to the head? Yeah. We are the ultimate lazy class, and I approve.

My first rogue was a male dwarf, and I had no idea what the hell I was doing with him. It was an aggravating journey of "WAT IS COMBO POINTS DO??" all the way through level 5, at which point I deleted him and went back to my tauren warrior. But when BC came out and Blood Elves were introduced, their nimbleness and dexterity seemed perfect for a rogue.. so I tried again, and lo and behold, it clicked.

It's been an interesting journey ever since.

It wasn't until recently that I thought seriously about leveling a druid though. I had a rogue (covered the cat aspect), a warrior (covered the bear aspect), a priest (covered the resto aspect), and.. well, again not so much with the casters, so boomkin was sort of out anyway. I'm still not entirely sure what made me do it, but I think picking up jewelcrafting helped in some small way ;D I took little Mudpaw from 42 to 67 in a couple short weeks, and now look where we are. The more I read in patch notes, the more tempting it is to try kitty dps in a raid setting, but the loyalty I feel to Myrandah is quite an obstacle.

I feel a little uh.. unoriginal in wanting to go from rogue to cat. Same thing, right? Sort of. I'm interested to see where I end up once this crazy ride stops.


So... that was a long way of saying, "Hi I play WoW, enjoy this blog k? Thx later :D"
But seriously.
Thanks for reading. ;)
