Hello, from the other side...

And now you have Adele in your head. You're welcome.

So my Orc monk was sitting wasting away Horde side, doing nothing much of anything, lazily languishing at level 93 and barely being touched.

Given my well publicised female Gnome fetish, I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and faction change her to Alliance, and go Gnome! :)

Bear in mind that it's quite likely that Blizzard are going to completely screw up the hunter revamp*, I'm looking to see which other classes or specs might tickle my fancy when it comes to being my main in Legion.

*Yes it's early Alpha, and yes, lots can and will change between now and then. Suck it pedantic fanboys. The changes as-is atm on Alpha are terrible, and change everything about a Hunter that we now know.

So I got her levelled over the weekend, and within 2 days of hitting 100 she is now sitting at a gear level of 665/667, high enough to get into HFC LFR.

I'd levelled her as a Brewmaster, but I've had to be brave, and admit that as much as I loved tanking on the Paladin, and as good as I was on her (and I was excellent, which is why it got so boring, #humblebrag), I absolutely suck a fat one at playing Brewmaster.

Darn it.

So, that meant going back to main spec Windwalker, a spec I loved in Mists, and actually got pretty good with.

That said, if Hunter doesn't work out, I'm given of a hankering to go main spec healer in Legion, as it's the one role I've yet to main-spec as during an expansion.

I main specced as ranged DPS (Mage) for half of Wrath, before tanking out the final tier of Wrath, all of Cata, Mists and the first half of WoD, then obviously moved to the Hunter for the last half of WoD.

So Healer is the only one I've yet to devote myself fully to, outside of off-spec faffing about during expansion downtime on my Paladin.

Mistweaving is pretty fun. A mix of HoTs, direct heals, AoEs and absorbs, yet played in a fairly relaxed manner, and with a unique mana-return mechanic in Mana Tea.

I ran through a few Hellfire LFR wings last night, and while I wasn't brilliant, I was able to experience the playstyle first hand.

Obviously I have yet to setup keybinds, VuhDo or cooldowns correctly, and I'm still missing a few key pieces of gear, namely healer rings, a trinket and a decent ilevel helm and chest, so I'm missing a decent chunk of spirit as it stands.

All that said, it's nice to have a max-level (non-boosted) Alliance character, even if I don't have a guild just yet. Mind you the lack of a guild is a nice change of pace, as it's nice and quiet and I can just go on about my business solo.

Mind you, the lack of activity in Thunder atm may just as well mean a lack of guild either side of the factional divide, as we only have about 5/6 people on at even the busiest times of the day/week.

My hunter may remain though as my main PvP character, even if it gets fucked over royally.

But it looks quite likely, and very tempting, to say I'll be main speccing a Mistweaver Monk next expansion. Will she still be a Gnome?

We'll have to wait and see...

:)
