A) Crucible, Paladin, Holy. Honestly, this may change. I will be leveling up my Pally first and would definitely like to stick to Holy, but there’s a solid chance that it will suck balls and I will either try to go Ret or Prot on my Pally or switch mains to Fey. I won’t really know until I get there.
B) I’ve got a ton of unused vacation and I think I’m going to use some of it for a few days after the release. If I’m not 85 within a week, I’ll be surprised. I may even be tempted to make an 85-or-bust server first leveling group if anyone’s interested.
I think we need to talk about whether or not 25 mans are even of interest to us as a guild. I personally do not want to repeat my experiences with this game from the last 5 months. The vast majority of the cause of our failure on HM LK was attendance and the substitution of bad (maybe not always “bad”, but “sub-par” for sure) players for good players who had left. Players will be crawling out of the woodwork, wanting to raid once Cata hits, but a year from now, I don’t want to be stuck on some boss or other because half of them quit when content was too hard/stale/boring, their class was underpowered/overpowerd/hard/easy or they decided they were too cool for school.
Honestly, I would rather form up a couple of really strong 10 man groups with several other teams for alts/friends/whatever. I’m sick of carrying random newb bads that we let join the raid for the sake of a warm body. 10 committed, good players > 10 committed, good players and 15 random bads who don’t give a fuck.
PS - I deleted all the stupid YouTube posts. You want to shit in a thread, go pick one of the dozens of unimportant ones in this forum.
