My 16th blogoversary was actually a week or so ago, and, like most years lately, I was busy with the kids and their summer sports, so I missed it. Although I'm not sure I'm writing much more, I feel a bit more invigorated about the blog lately.
In terms of gaming updates, I've been focused on leveling alts in World of Warcraft when I've had the time. I finished up the Alliance mage that I mentioned in my last post, and also finished an Alliance Monk and another Horde Druid since the last update, bringing my grand total of max-level characters to 30. The leveling times now seem to be running pretty consistently in the 8-10 hour range from level 50 to level 80.
I'm now working on another Alliance Rogue. Since rogues haven't been my favorite for quite a while, I'm using the new one-button rotation functionality to see if that helps. I'm not yet in the 70 to 80 range, but at least in the early stages, it seems to be helping quite a bit.
For the Monk, I tried using Chromie time and running him through Warlords of Draenor because I'd heard that was faster than Dragonflight. Maybe it's because I've been doing Dragonflight a lot so that I have a lot of muscle memory around it, but it didn't end up working out that way for me, so I've switched back to just doing Dragonflight with this rogue.
I've still been dipping into ESO and Guild Wars 2 periodically, but my play time definitely has a heavy World of Warcraft emphasis right now.
I also completed the new Arathi Highlands content that was released and really enjoyed it. It was nice to revisit an older zone in a way that made some sense, especially now that the leveling process doesn't ever have you go back to any of those places.
After I finish up this rogue, I have another druid in queue, so I may level that one in bear form to see how that goes. If I hate it, I can always switch back to something else.
Cheers,
Joar
