New Cataclysm battleground
|
We've all been there, right? You queue up for a battleground and enter the fray. O-ho! You catch a level 49 orc unaware! Over and over and over. And so you just give up and don't requeue for a battleground until you're almost level 49 yourself. You fire blistering spell after blistering spell at him! Whereas battlegrounds are currently broken up into 10-level groups (the level 10 to 19 bracket, for example), battlegrounds in Cataclysm will be broken up into five-level groups (there's a new level 10 to 14 bracket). Unfortunately, because you're only level 41, your spells keep missing, dooming you to a certain and ugly fate. I'm glad I did so; my gray-haired dwarf lass is upbeat, but she has more memories and more connection with the shattered land that we've all been called on to defend.
The Defias stronghold appears to be housing the next generation of Defias forces. They're being led by Vanessa Vancleef, Edwin's daughter. Since Cataclysm falls on our heads next week, I thought it'd be a perfect time to give some leveling ideas to folks who want to roll a new warlock in the expansion. I'm going to start off by quoting what I wrote last March: "If everyone is knocking a copper off the next highest auction, they only way to undercut successfully is to try camp the AH and make sure you're always the competitor who has visited most recently. Needless to say, this is a colossal waste of your time." This is as true now as it was then.
