My guild was on the verge of hitting level 12 this week, so I decided to really punch it by taking my shaman and leveling him from 81/82 to 85. Tonight, I finally did it after a long grind. That makes it a total of four level 85’s toons on my server with one very close to hitting level 85. I might take a little break to do something else for a bit, although I might peek in to do a few Tol Barad battlegrounds.
Now, that my shaman is at level 85, probably I’ll have to grind him some PVP gear. That ought to let him survive not only in TB but in the Molten Front, at least until he can get a few purples. The thing I’ve found about hunters and enhancement shamans is that there’s not a lot of easily accessible loot from the reputation venders. So in order to get gear, you either have to purchase it or use Justice Points (if you don’t raid nor do heroics).
I’ll probably concentrate on completing the Molten Front for both my shaman and hunter for the gold and limited epics from the venders until the next patch comes out. Since the next patch supposedly will remove various group quests, I figured to just wait and see how things will differ before finishing up on my lower level toons.
