Been a bit of a lurker for a little while now, had no real experience at all with twinking until the Shadowlands pre-patch where I briefly rolled a level 10 tanking twink to smash dungeons out for lols. I recall some of the Legion quest reward gear being bugged as hell back then and giving many multitudes of the stats it should have been.
Not really done much since until a few weeks ago where I decided it would be a good idea to mess about with the 20's bracket. Made a F2P account (linked account, don't judge me I love my transmogs), perhaps it would have been smarter to have played the long-game and waited for sub to run out on an account so I had vet, gearing certainly seems easier when you can just buy things from the AH, but the F2P grind is fun, right? Right?
Anyway I made a Lightforged Draenei Priest (the aesthetic was peak, I have nothing else to say on the matter), tbh the intention had been to do lots of healing but it seems Holy kinda slaps right now so that's a fun little hybrid I didn't know was there. I got the gear, I got the enchants, and I started working on the gems. Jewellery crafting feels like an absolute slog! Being restricted to one daily quest to get the currency for the recipes kinda blows. But it is what it is. That character is kind of in maintenance mode right now as I slowly accrue gems and in the mean time I thought to myself; You know what's even better than 1 god awful F2P grind? Two F2P grinds.
So I made a Survival Hunter, Tauren, (look I know Surv is deplorable but surely it's not more deplorable than MM, right???). Anyway, that's fun, lots of damage, not much in the way of heals though, feels if I don't get something dead quick I'm just going to be worn down with my atrocious sustain. It's big dick damage though, and that I can get behind. (I know subconsciously I was kinda comparing the survivability of a healer to a class with a 30% heal on a 2min CD, but being a bit healer dependant kinda sucks when matchmaking doesn't give you any.)
Anyway I'm at the JC gems stage with that character as well now, so what I clearly needed was a 3rd horrible F2P grind (good lord why didn't I just go vet). Ret Pally Tauren time, please don't ask why all my twinks are hoofies, I don't know, it just happened. The choice of Ret Pally was easy, Baron Rivendare's sword seemed cool, and here I am. Damage is definitely lower than Surv, like seriously the ability I need to build 3 holy charges for does the same damage as a skill I can spam 3 times on Surv from full resource. BUT I feel more durable, and that's the main thing. All three classes so far have proven to be fun in their own way (screw pally not getting an interrupt until 27 though, I feel casters just mock me standing there hard casting whilst I beat on them for nought). Currently running the Massacre enchant whilst I work on the enchanting grind for Crusader, is Crusader really that much better? What's the uptime like? Is the heal still good? Any tips on not losing my mind levelling enchanting?
And that's kinda it, that's where I'm at. Just saying Hi, and seeing if anyone had any tips/tricks really. I've read a fair few of the guides and think I know what I'm doing, but you never know, y'know? I play EU so if anyone wants to game some time lemme know!
Oh! Also, nets, does anyone use nets? Nets seem cool, I never see anyone talk about nets. Do they work? are they viable?
And am I just allergic to haste? or does TBC gear (cos sockets) barely ever come with any haste anyways?
