Tonight I worked on my baby paladin team. They were 66 earlier in the week and I am doing regular leveling. By that I mean, grinding instances with my five prot-paladins. I worked on them for two nights and now I am 70. First thing I did was not hea to Wrath content but thought I would try one of my most favorite old instances from my first level 70 a poor old dwarven prot warrior Smalltanker. Well in I rolled and the mobs were dying like Mitt Rommneys hopes on election night. It was tough on the first boss but I have to admit when he fell I felt a nice sense of nostalgia. I kind of miss the old style play where you had to mark CC targets, shoot one wiith your bow, and get your demoralizing shout or thunderclap ready if you were out of the CC AOE. But I also have to admit it is fun boxing. Lets see if I can get through this instance. One boss down, two to go.

    Doh... totally forgot. Hellfire ramparts. I can remember running it for tank gear to get into Karazhan. I knocked it out and then hit HMana Tombs and Auchenai crypts. Brought back some fond memories from my first attempt at single-boxxing.

    Nice. I get all nostalgic as well when I'm doing anything pre-Cata and almost anything TBC/Wrath seems to always hit me right in the feels.

    Whats funny is I had several paragraphs written for the previous response but my Internet IE at home kepted eating it.

    Figured I would hit the level 70 heroics for accomplishments and the XPs are nice so far. Still getting around 1200-1300+ XPs from each elite mob in the instance. I figure I would grind out a few more before I start hitting Nexus and the other intro wrath content instances. What was funny is I wiped on one of the Tempest Keep regular modes earlier (Mechanar) and took the rez at the spirit healer only to discover that I had made it to 69 with out buying any flying capabilities for my team. So some quick trip to hellfire I purchased all of my flying for outlands, northrend and the old Azeroth content.

    Posted a ton of auctions and a few epic recipes that I looted on the AH and I have to admit the netherweave cloth was flying off the shelfs. Good money to be made from autolooting and then selling the non-greys. I generally fill up all my bags, hearth to Ogrimmar or Stormwind and then auto-sell greys, repair and then send all my greens and good stuff to my AH toon. Best auction days are generally posted on thursday night and run through most of the weekend.

    But that is enough of memory lane for now. I will hopefully get through most of WOLK content this weekend before 5.2 drops. I see it is downloading on the client it appears. Good things may be happening.

    Got the team to 72 today. Nothing spectacular except for running Nexus. They changed up the quests in there like the did Utgard Keep, you now get them all inside the instance. Nice way to bag some decent gear shoulder (have BOAs), Bracers, Ring, Boots. After some dungeoning through UK and Nexus with no deaths on the all tank team I went into AV with four of my team as my fifth decided to take a random break. We won, nabbed an achievement and while not leading in damage was racking up quite a few kills and being generally annoying. 4 x Shield toss = mostly dead PVP opponents. Was good clean fun and I will definetly be grinding some AV BGs this week when ever I have the chance as a win was netting me nearly a 1/4 of my XP bar.
