Warcraft at Work

The time has come for me to blog about work and World of Warcraft. One a necessity for the other. Fortunately for me, I can combine the two.

Briefly:
I work for a general contract in the California area. I work in a small office alone and field phone calls and keep the websites up for a full time job. I consider it a psuedo-IT job. Un/Fortunately I have a lot of down time to catch up on playing my WoW. My intention of this blog is to chronicle my days while getting paid to WoW it up.

Day 1:
Patch 2.4.2 just went live on Tuesday. Doesn't affect me too much, I hit level 70 a day before on my UD rogue (my new main). Looks like the ol' honor grind is in session. Which makes me believe that Season 2 epix are the new blues. With just a couple of weeks for honor farming you can deck out your char in full S2 epics with no prerequisites or need for skills. Of course my course of action for the past several days is grinding AV for my helm which I picked up today. My first epic on this rogue.

I've been running as a mutilate build 41/20/0 for the past couple of days and I must say I like it for PVP. It's different that mobs always face you, while players are easy to get behind and mutilate. Gouge, cheapshot, and kidney shot are necessary, but it's much easier to run behind a fellow beating on your healer and mutilate a few times and burn him down. I see alot of hemo in AV, with maces or fist, I liked hemo alot, mostly because it was fun shadowstepping and beating the sense out of someone, especially other rogues. But it turned into a boring hemo spamfest, so first chance I got I went mutilate since my eventual goal is to do arena once my gear is up to par, and mutilate seems to be a very viable build in arena.
