Cataclysm is nearly here!

Not long now, and we see cataclysm - and here are some thoughts:

Well, I'm all ready to go tanking again for Cataclysm, I've been spending all the points I've been getting for honor over the 4k cap on gems ready to cut into tank gems for current and new gear while my wife and I level up our jewel crafter.

I've spent an hour fishing up enough fish to make 30 fish feasts for leveling cooking and also for nice food buffs in the new content. We have stock piled potions and mats for enchants. We've bought cheap armor kits on bid from the AH over the last several weeks so we have a couple knocking about in the bank.

We both know all this stuff will be replaced quickly, but it is almost free and will both level us up and hold us over until we get our crafting skills leveled up naturally.
I've explored the shattered content quite a bit now - including playing through all the new starter zones on new toons just to experience them - I liked the Tauren new start feeling the most - must more streamlined than ever before - I had a level 17 Tauren Paladin before I knew it!

I've been in PVP quite a bit and love it on my feral druid - but right now I'm in a bit of a slow down with WoW waiting for Cataclysm to hit. I don't want to really do more as I'm ready and would like to experience the new content to 85 and then raid and rated BGs.
I'm planning to try out Goblins and Worgen just to see what they are like - but I will only do these in a few months when the zones are more clear.

I've also just killed all the comments to my old Shaman movies on youtube - they are a year old (or more) now and people are commenting on them as if they were filled last month or something and it is getting too much to respond to haters there. I've tried out my enhancement shaman in BGs recently, and they have improved a bit - and in PVP gear they are better then they were, but they feel a little "slow" compared to my feral druid - I seem to either waste globals with totems that I instantly get ranged on, or I end up with everything on cooldown and 2 or 3 seconds to wait before any of my skills become active.

My druid I find is global starved (ie - I have more choices than I have time available to use them)

The only class I've found with the perfect balance in game so far is a warrior - I always have something to do, but not too much that I feel global'ed. Blizzard seem to be getting better at all this - and so they should with the time and money they have had!

Well, expect more content to appear here and on my youtube channel as I get into Cataclysm - and I certainly plan to do some more plain-speaking tutorials on Cataclsym encounters as I get into them. Beta tutorials are all very well, but they are often not mechanic complete or managed by the average guild.

Good luck with Cataclysm upgrades everyone - I've got a hard copy on order. See you all out there.

Oh yeah - the other thing I've been doing is creating WoW sigs:
