A little while ago, around the time that the billionth person died (and released) in Naxx and had to run back and make us clear the slime room again, I decided to level my 70 warlock up to 80.
Last night, I hit the ding! This makes my third level 80 character.
I am enjoying affliction, although there is a heck of a lot to keep track of. I actually have DoT timer but I tend to just watch the Quartz bars instead. I like the new summoning mechanic, even if it does look like a demon flasher but I hope they put single-target summoning back in as an option for spot-summons. It's silly having to summon the stone for a 5-man group when only one person needs it.
Hoping to take Emelyn to Naxx tonight, watch this space.

Questing in Zul'drak is what did it. I really like the questlines in that place, between the Ebon Blade, Argent Crusade and the trolls.
Beside me you can see my levelling partner (who hit 80 a couple of hours later after a Gundrak run and another quest). He also happens to be my lovely boyfriend who I met through WoW. Maybe more on that at another time, it's all still pretty new.
Through the wonders of tailoring and jewelcrafting, I had made myself a handful of nice items so the moment I hit 80, I geared myself up. The ebonweave gloves and robe look rather nice.
Here's how the warlock looks now. Anyone who's read this blog for a little while or that looks through the older posts will notice that she's undergone some changes in hairstyle/colour and her piercings are different.
