So far.. it's been
OK. Hitting the level cap and changing gears from s2 PVP gear to Blue PVP gear crafted within my Blacksmith profession; this transition has its ups and downs.
The ups? I look like a badass. The Savage Saronite set looked like it was made purely for the Warrior / Death Knight class in terms of stats; boasting of strength, stamina and crit. rating goodness. What it lacks? Mana. From just over 8k of mana, I now have 5.6k - roughly. Crit rating has gone down from above 30% to 25% - roughly. But, I look cool.
Hit rating, a necessity these days as I tend to miss quite a bit, specifically with skills such as Judgements and my Crusader Strikes - my main sources of damange. Yesterday a prot Pally tried to gank, and my first 2 hits (Judgment of Wisdom and Crusader Strike) both missed. Not happy Jan. This resulted in me investing in some Hit rating gems. I now have 60 hit rating with my current quest reward blue 2 hander axe, without it, I would have 32 hit rating. It's a start.
Farming. Ganked or be ganked, there is no such thing as peace in Icecrown, so get your gank on. I am talking about mining, a Druid failed to gank me, which just outlines how stupid Alliance are. Ha! I was impressed how he fought to the death though.
Epic Flying. Great necessity. Speeds up quests, increases your chance to take ores, and, with crusader aura = I am the quickest.
So far, almost all good Blizzard, hoping that Pallies get to have the ability to ress a dead corpse and bless it with holy light to fight by the Pally's side (just like a DK's undead pet).
