Which Way, My Role Play?

From a Motorola Ad: Guidance Needed

Open your eyes, Sajja, and read!

I have a few minutes before I have to dash off to a workshop day - lots of sitting around, lots of listening, and lots of fidgeting, trying to focus on the tasks at hand instead of my pretty monk Sajja (which means "truth"). I think I can sneak my phone in and read the Icy Veins guide on Monk healing, and her off-spec Windwalker. I know there has been a lot of upset tummies over Blizzard's providng us these 90 boosts -- but I can honestly say -- there really isn't any difference. The fact is: players who need to learn their classes have always existed (looks at self), and re-learning classes with changes, nuances in stats, gear acquisitions, etc., ensures there is always something to learn. If a player has freshly leveled a 90 alt, it has never been a guarantee that they have gear, knowledge or skill. The instant boost did not change that. It didn't. And, for the record, most of the asshats are leveled players with great gear who troll the server or an LFR.

Thank you Blizzard, for this monk. I love her. She's floppy, failing, dying, rolling, and goofy. But I love her. I could not stomach another leveling session from 85 to 90 (she was level 66, and my Deathknight lingers at level 86…just….can't…..do….it….).

Another boost is I am going to sketch out some character studies for My Role Play. That add-on has been on my list for a long time now, and I'm overdue for some character sketches.  I know I can do that while pretending to be in deep concentration in the meetings today. We writers -- we're a sneaky lot. Always saying things. But this morning I am saying "thank you." Truth.

In my excitement, I accidentally abandoned my plan to level my Horde DK Kellanyx to 90 when the boost showed up--I hit the Account #1 button by mistake, instead of Account #2. Now, I could have been patient, started a new DK on Dentarg and leveled it to 60 to get the professions, or I could just hit the BUTTON NOW- MUST must MUST puSh BuTToNs!

So here she is, in all her monk glory (mustache not included):

Her gear is already being replaced with Timeless and other goodies, and she is a ball of fun. You had better believe I would love to stay home today (instead of going to an all-day meeting) and get her all spiffied up. For some reason, instead of feeling like some may have thought, that this is cheating, I have renewed energy again for play. There was something about not going through that leveling process for the umpteenth time that gave me an Azerothian equivalent of a vitamin B shot. But off to work I must: I will be accepting any advice on monk healing you'd like to offer/thanks
