I’m almost through the various dailies on the Molten Front! Talk about an epic pain in the rear! But I managed to accomplish a pair of great things tonight. First, my Paladin now has revered status with the Dragonmaw Clan, allowing him to pick up the 346 tanking helmet. Previously, he was using the PVP blacksmithing helmet, but it obviously lacks some critical stats that the Dragonmaw Clan one provides. I won’t throw away my PVP helmet since I do Tol Borad whenever I can. But I’m only missing the 346 shoulders that I intend to purchase via justice points at the venders in Orgrimmar. By doing this, I should be able to handle Heroic Cataclysm instances and perhaps the two troll instances.
Once I’m done with the Molten Front, I might still continue working on my Paladin, simply because you can make fairly good gold by completing all 25 daily quests. At the moment, I’m around 10k in gold so I’m getting closer to making my long awaited three person mount that I’ve been wanting forever. Then I can either start saving up for some of the BoE weapons and higher level gear or help my hunter generate some much needed revenue to make a few epic purchases.
In the meantime, once I have some more spare time at night, I’ll be doing more with my hunter. Currently, I’m in the middle of Vashj’ir and hope soon that I can start the Molten Front chain with him. He does suffer a bit from being under geared, but I hope to correct that through making a few key purchases from the Auction House and Justice vender to bring him up to speed in terms of DPS. At the same time, I’m going to make a big push to have him finish his leatherworking profession, which currently is at a painful 518. The last 7 points are dedicated to crafting each PVP piece one by one for himself. Doing the Vashj’ir quest chain gives me an opportunity to collect more leather along the way and building rep with the Earthen Ring (although that will become futile since the only gear worth getting is a cloak; and the first part of the Molten Front quest chain provides a nice 365 epic cloak).
Once I get through with my hunter (to a degree), I hope to be able to start on my shaman once again. Because my shaman has enchantment and tailoring as professions, he essentially is helping to save a little on the cost of finding overpriced enchantments on the Auction House (not to mention the occasional slot 22 bag).
Eventually, I would like to get back to other characters like my warlock and warrior. But I see a fair amount of time passing before I might be able to get to them again.
