Theramore and More..

So like everyone else, I was super excited to try my first scenario (I didn't try them in beta), and to see the fall of Theramore. As someone who has both Alliance and Horde 85's, I was even more hyped to see both sides of the event.

Horde Side, I ran this with my Warrior Madmartigan. And to say underwhelmed seems like I am not covering it enough. The horde side event was really an underwhelming cake walk of a event. There really was no challenge in this even at all. I didn't remotely get close to death, or have to be careful on pulls, I just pulled everything. I did it as fury, and pretty much ate the place, with two shadow priests. I love the aspect that I don't need a healer for the event, but I think it misses the mark in terms of challenge. In solo content, I find I have to think about my pulls, and think about what the mobs in front of me are capable of. Say if I am soloing raid content in BC with my warrior. I have to think to my self, what spec do I need, what items do I need, what enchants......now I am not saying that this needs to be the formula of the scenarios, but there needs to be some level of difficulty.

As for story line....there is really no story line at all for the instance.  Basically kill X and then destroy X, done. This to me was bad game play, plan and simple.

On the flipside, the Alliance side was much better. The equation of Kill X, Destroy X was there, but there was story line, with Jana Proudmore giving you some really connection to what is going on. You feel like you a defending your people, and I found it much more challenging, and this may be because I was playing a Mage instead of a warrior. But there was differently more store line evolved and you got to see the aftermath of what the horde side of the scenario did.

So my over all thoughts on both sides of the Theramore Scenario......Grats Alliance! For the first time in a game event like this, the Alliance gets the better end of the stick as far as content.

In other news, I have been working hard on my warlock Rerolled, and I am almost 85. The class has really got enjoyable as I progress, with more then just Demo interesting me. Destruction may be the funnest instance set up I have had in a while. With how it works with Gramorium of Sacrifice, it really is close to the old BC days. I am sure that when I hit 85 Affliction will also be better, but right now, I solo with Demo, and instance with Destruction. Really digging it, and honestly It has kept me from working on any other charater. I am strongly feeling the fight for a main for pandarea is ether Lock or Monk....
