How Girls Play

Beginning with a preemptive: Shut up. Yah I rolled another alt. I rolled a druid for two reasons. First, I'm very interested in the variations in the healing classes. I love playing my disc priest, but I am curious about the advantages and disadvantages of various healing classes. I rolled a shammy but I have to say I don't enjoy playing it at low levels. Sarah has rolled and leveled a druid healer which she simply adores, to the point of considering making it her main. So, this led me to roll my druid alt. Now I've rolled druids before and abandonned them before level 20 cause they are such a drag at low levels. But - DOH! - as my daughter pointed out to me, you can't level as a healer till at least level 40 cause the spells suck at the low level so level as a cat. I knew that. Cat is for fite.

I will, at some point, take another look at the shammy 'cause shammy heals are teh shitz. Supernovan is a great healer. But for now, I'm drood. You'll note, if you're clever, that this is an Alliance toon. It's also on a different server, for several reasons. Mostly, I just wanted to mess about on my own and not get ping'd with requests to bring my hunter to some dungeon run that I've done already nine million times. Also, when you're leveling your nine millionth toon, you really don't wanna see the same quests you've seen for the past five years. It's been a long time since I roamed the Alliance side of Azeroth, and it feels a bit fresher.

Now, if this toon takes and I dig it, I will transfer her back to Eitrigg and switch her to Horde. I may specialize in a portfolio of healers. I do enjoy the role. Any hows.... that's what I'm up to.
