Keep in mind the following:
- Lochnar is a frost mage, seemingly the slowest leveling, weakest solo class/spec in the game.
- My preferred play style is solo or with one or two regular (read Lurker) partners.
- I am of the belief that the Azeroth Pledge of Allegiance should end in "with liberty and content for all".
As anyone in Lurkers chat on Stormrage can probably tell you, I have been actively working this character since release. I finally made it to the much vaunted level cap of 60. I am now wondering if that means the imminent demise of that character. Quests that I am still getting at this level are predominantly instance and/or elite quests. Instances obviously preclude solo play. With this character, elite quests seem to do the same. If an single elite higher than ~53-54 gets in my face, it is pretty much game over. I simply can't do enough damage fast enough to take them down before they finish me even given everything going right including potion drinking, pinning down for bandaging and reasonable spell damage crits.
My concern is that, once I've finished the quests I now have that seem soloable, the rest of the end game is parties and instances and raids. Is that the case? Am I just not finding the solo quests that are available? Is there indication that Blizzard will be adding more solo content when we finally do see the promised additions to content? Am I doing something wrong? Am I just a poor player? Are others seeing the same thing as me? Am I going to have to focus on alts? (Considering the alt-itis present in Lurkers on Stormrage it seems like it must be the way to go.)
I really love this character, at least to the extent that one can love a non-being. He has been an important escape from real life and I want to continue to enjoy him. I want to be able to continue to find things to keep him occupied without having to resort to accepting the incessant whispers to join groups, primarily because I can make sheep and portals.
Care to share your opinions on the direction your characters will go in the end game? I'm sure MJ will have much to say given his affinity for instances and raids and the end game.
