Getting started


Welcome to my WoW blog. I started this blog because I decided my guildies would likely get sick of reading my ruminations and soul searching surrounding my play style in general and the priest class specifically. I really don't expect anyone to read this -- it's more of a place for me to record my thoughts and also to track my progress. If anyone gets anything out of it, more power to them!

For those who may not be familiar with the blog title reference, it's a tribute to the 1964 Stanley Kubrik classic Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. I highly recommend it.

A little background: I'm a raid healer (priest class) in a casual WoW raiding guild. I have a long history as a healer in MMORPGs, but lately I've become increasingly dissatisfied with my raid role. I've been trying to pin it down, and I think I'm beginning to get to the crux of the matter, but I'm not there yet (maybe next post!). With the Wrath of the Lich King expansion on the horizon, I'm deciding whether to a) soldier on as a holy priest, b) change gears to shadow, c) switch classes completely, or d) something else (like maybe discipline?). As you can tell by my blog title, I'm leaning towards shadow, but I'm not going to commit totally at this point.
