Smashers gotta smash! :rolleyes:
A good summary, Ug. Good to see the diversity in skills and such. I'm glad Grisk is going
for mining and smithing - that was top of my list if no one else took. As it stands now,
my thoughts in terms of preference is probably:
- Bows proficiency (100 skill pts)
- Wide weapons proficiency (several 30ish pt weapons)
- Enchanting or engineering (though I know nothing of the latter)
- Survival or first aid
Do we have any cloth users in the group? Warlock?? I know the shaman and
rogue can use leather, and the two warriors are on the chain gang. Can anything
really of any use be made by tailoring? With two leather-wearers and Ug needing
to pick up a skill, I'm guessing skinning/leathercrafting to be good for him. My shaman
has that combo and it's moderately useful (though I'ld prefer not to take that combo
so I can try out a greater range of things :P )
I knows bows are tough to get due to the high skill requirement, but once achieved,
are they useless? I would really like to try a bow character - if they suck or the team thinks
it would be useless, I'll pass and wait for a hunter character. So any other feedback
on bows (or guns!) would be useful.
If folks think that's not too useful, *OR* if we want to make an effort to pick up all skills
to some degree, I might go for Enchantment. Engineering sounds interesting, but I would
need someone to describe that to know for sure. For that matter I'm not sure on the mechanics
of how First aid helps. But I think it's equally valid (perhaps better) for non-healer characters
to take up that skill, as they can make bandages and healing items to heal themselves in battle,
which is something the healer classes don't really need.

PS - I'm still reeling from the grandeur of the city of Ogrimmar and its environs. I'm a bit
concerned that I'll be hopelessly lost or disoriented once we shift over there. It's a major
weakness of mine, both in RL and gaming (knowing my way around town and having a good
sense of direction) - and one reason I've never had interest in MMORPG. I sure hope at least
one of you is very good at this - I'll be using /f a lot :P
