I’m sure you’ve read that the beta doesn’t have a NDA on it. I’m sure you’ve read the tons and tons of notes coming out of the beta. I’m not going to join that crowd, you’re tired of it by now.

I did a lot of battlegrounds over the weekend. I’m saving up for the Merciless Gladiator’s Crossbow of the Phoenix, which won’t increase my survivability except in that I’ll get a huge DPS upgrade. I’m still saddened by the abysmal performance of the Alliance in the battlegrounds (except, most of the time, AV). In my ideal vision, you should win approximately 50% of your BG matches against simarly geared and skilled teams. 50% is about what I’m sitting at for AV. AB? Not so much. WSG? Mostly losses. EotS? Oh God, don’t even go there.

I’m not sure what it is. Is it just that Alliance tends to be younger and doesn’t understand the need for cooperation and following instructions? Is the Hode on my battlegroup better geared (well, they are, that’s another story). Do we just happen to get a lot of premades? Whatever the reason, we lose a lot. Especially in EotS and WSG.

That being said, I did have a couple pretty epic matches. Two friends and I were doing the BGs, and one WSG match that lasted a good while was very close, and I don’t feel bad about losing it at all.

At any rate, I saved up 13,000 honor on Friday (I was off work), and took the weekend “off” and leveled my rogue. I’ll get my hunter back into the BGs soon and save up the rest of the honor.

Other than that, not a lot happened. Kara didn’t come through at the usual time, and later when a guildy got a run together I was shopping, so I missed Kara altogether this weekend.

I’m still trying to decide who I want my main to be. My druid is most geared, but I’m not great at tanking (at least in PuGs), and I’m not sure if I want my main to be a tank for WotLK. I’ve played a hunter at end game, a druid at end game, and a warlock at very near end game, as well as a mage to about 40. To me, the most fun and seemingly interactive style of DPS is on the druid, so I’ve been playing my rogue a bit, getting her to 70 as a possible “main.”

What do you think? Who do you want your main to be in WotLK?
