Muggs

I haven't written a blog in a while, but I figure it's always a good past time on dead server Tuesdays.

So, my guild has taken advantage of free transfers off of Antonidas (such a bad server) and has landed on Garrosh, a nice little EST server that is home to such favorites as Ciderhelem, manbearpig, tony, and dygrav. It's really nice being on an EST server that isn't massively overpopulated - AH prices are down, Dalaran doesn't crash our computers, mining nodes are everywhere, and...

So yeah, I finally decided to sit down and do a blog again; I haven't really had the time to sit down and write one since I came back from college -- go go me with my Master's and no job, but yet I have no time!

So, the last blog I wrote was trying to figure out what toon to level first in Wrath, be it pally, warrior, mage, priest, or DK. I think most of you know, but I went with my warrior, and I haven't been happier. Tanking is much more dynamic and I've actually started using hotkeys;...

With Wrath right around the corner, the question comes: am I happy with the role I choose, the class I played in BC, and what could I do different in Wrath?

As a quick recap I have leveled:
Protection Paladin in ~t6ish start gear (Muggs himself)
Frost Mage in ~t4/badge gear
Fury Warrior in blues/heroic gear
Horde Disc Priest in S2
and I have visions of a Deathknight.

My Paladin and my Mage both have their epic flyers and netherdrakes...

Ok, so, this is what I initially wanted to talk about in my first blog today, but I felt it deserved it's own blog and that way I can continue my series with other classes.

The big point of this: Frost Mage + Death Knight = Frost Mage Viability via Synergy

Ok, let's look at the big ones, first of all, they share a similar talent: Frostbite - Frost spells have a 15% chance to freeze the target. Both classes are adept at CC, movement impairing, and rooting (woot)....

Note: I'm talking about talents here, so few things.
1. They aren't finalized, this is from the stuff the alpha NDA was lifted on, found on mmo-champions and alpha wikis.
2. Because of the source, they are potentially wrong, but meh, I like to think about things.
3. If you want wrath talents to be a surprise, don't read :P


I'm going to start off my series of blogs with some classes near and dear to my heart/dark side - Mages, Warriors, and Death Knights,...
