I’ve been wondering what to do next since hitting 70 over the weekend. My goal to begin with was to do the horrid BG honor grind, get the gear then from that point hit arenas.

I’m at least sure the new Expansion will be available before Christmas. That said, it doesn’t leave much time to enjoy the fruits of my work on that grind.

So looking at my options, there are some pros and cons.

Grind the gear
Pros: Play 70 on god mode x5. Level cap raises, perhaps have a edge starting out, lots of world pvp since everyone is leveling. Would be nice to have decent resilience for those fights.

Cons: Most likely by 75 all gear will be replaced, all work gone with nothing left to show for it.

Other Stuff:
Pros: Well I haven’t tried quite a few instances yet, or for that matter heroics! Would be interesting to see what this team combo could do, as a reference for us all.

Could 5man ZG for the cat mount. Is it possible to 5 man MC and BWL, NAXX? And all those? Never saw them because of the times I played. Worth looking in to.

Could work on getting 5 epic flying mounts, cap my crafts and grind some cash for the bank.

Potential to find world PVP for a new movie. Don’t see many out in the wild like I used to but perhaps killing a few will provoke a group or raid to come after me, it normally always does.

I can avoid the painful honor grind for now, and only have to do it once at 80.

Cons: Not as powerful as I could be, gear makes a big difference, just hitting 70 420+ damage isn’t great!

When the Xpac comes out, I could be at a big disadvantage without the gear fighting groups of people to collect content for a new video.

Level alts: Well I could level alts; I have 5 level 16 shaman I was testing out.

Pros: Get to experience something else. Plenty of content to collect for movie on the way. If I make it to 70 I could potentially decide to 10 box.

Cons: Back to the grind, would have to change my entire configuration and key mappings to do it the way I want it (least I can just copy the WTF and interface folder to keep the lock settings intact).

Wouldn’t have epic flying mounts or any other bells and whistles finished by the Xpac.

Also a bit crowded in the boxing community (I like being the underdog on class choice for something different).
