Merry Christmas and all that stuff.

Well, it's been a while since my last post where my Priest/Hunter was at level 33. They've since completed the trek to 60 in 1 day 20 hours, right on the expected time investment from the guide I was following. Which is saying something because I wasn't super strict about not wasting time. I've since shelved both of them in the interest of my next duo, a Shamen/Paladin.

I've been leveling them in instances, Paladin tanking while the Shamen's on follow dropping totems and healing. I'm not going to say there hasn't been a few hairy moments, but overall it's been a cakewalk, the worst thing is dealing with some of the people you come across. Generally though it only takes one time of me letting them almost die/die when they pull to get them to follow my original directive of "Let me pull."

I've been switching between my Shamen and my Druid though for the last 10 levels or so, both with full Heirloom gear (for the xp bonus). It's been really weird learning two different styles of healing at the same time. I often want for my totems while on my Druid, or want to HoT up the DPS when AoE is going on when playing my Shamen. They both seem to have a lot more "Snap Tools" than a Priest or Paladin though, of course they're all fairly balanced, it's just that having access to tools that trivialize the Healing shortfalls I've fought against really is quite nice. ^_^

All that to say that the Paladin/Shamen/Druid love-triangle thing is about level 43ish (Paladin is higher, Shamen/Druid is trailing, with some level grants to keep up) and climbing fast. It's only taken me about 1 day to get to 43, with even more standing about that I did with my Priest/Hunter.

Hopefully things won't slow down much, and I can get the characters leveled that I want to get leveled. It's probably better to shoot for Cataclysm for all this plan than anything else, but who really knows how much time is left? And if I can eek out some profit in the meantime... ^_^
