WoG Brainstormz # 42 - Earthwarden

Avoiding timesinks is a habit ever since Earthwarden (Druid Tank Mace from BC) got replaced early Wrath, alts played depend on how one-sided Blizzard's thinking is with a system. Had my best gold making run ever with Enchanting before 8.2. Changed playstyle entirely to multiclassing by myself instead of doing serious PvP. Stacking classes I enjoy. Blizzard repeat mistakes with stats every expansion. I will force myself to stick to fewer alts before flying. Devotion, my main's guild, has finally gotten their shit together and progress much further than the old iteration of the guild. 5/8 HC @ patch 8.2 raid. 
 
Notice. I'm doing dishes the first 5 while recording in the middle. At 4:08 I drop some noisy shit.

WoG Brainstormz # 41 - Classic Realms and Playstyles

My friend, Krieeg, wanted to go all in on Classic as a ganking Rogue. Me, on the other hand, wanted to get my main names and dabble in Classic 6-18 months after launch. No hype train, no queues, no obligations, just play it at my own pace. Make my coppers and silvers and just enjoy the ride of old WoW slowly. Well, those plans went to shit, so here we are. The entire world is upside down.

The best part about Classic is that I can play them entirely differently. So I'm playing retail as an action arcade version of WoW where I can blast through things alone.

Side notes: Good luck understanding this episode. It's oldschool Grayz in many ways. Also, the audio skips at times. This is an issue with my beloved s7 and I'll keep on recording on it. But if the skips hurt a very important topic in the future, I might have to use on another phone. Time tells.

WoG Brainstormz # 40 - Classic Leveling (Part 1)

The different leveling options I have. How I've chosen to level the first time around and why. Triple team multibox leveling.

If you can't stand background noise be safe and stop around 3.40. The 2nd recording was recorded inside a bus filled with kids.

I will probably revisit this topic when I have other ideas about leveling

WoG Brainstorms # 39 - Future Reputation Strategies

Plans for the future. Cap reputations on main Hunter. Reach enough rep for professions on my Tier 1 alts; Mage and Warlock. Slowly repeat the process with my Tier 1.5 main Priest. Main Druid can slack entirely since Hunter now has modern day Inscription capped and is keeping it. While Druid has all of the old stuff, which is harder to get after the profession leveling changes. At least on low pop realms.
 
The rest of my alts won't touch reps at all  except for unlocking whatever the f*** Blizzard forces us to unlock in future expansions.
 
Side topic not as fleshed out: Dropped Herbalism on alts and switched to Enchanting in most cases. Stationary characters can disenchant anything, but they can't herb. Also I chose Skinning on a select few alts and my newly created Druids are all 2x gatherers with Herbalism + Mining. 2nd set of Druids were being leveled in Jade Forest as of this recording.

WoG Update # Update 6 - Flashbacks and Classic Overload

Recorded a ton of unreleased episodes since my return a month before patch 8.2. That will become a Flashbacks thingy.

Also playing WoWC (WoW Classic) 6-18 months ahead of my planned schedule.Having a f***load of fun too. This means that I might create "content" for that as well.

Sidenote: Actually feels weird to see, but thanks for still listening although I hardly upload episodes. Ever.
