Paladin to 90. Still don’t know my rotation.
Still on the island, but still feels grindy.
Almost ready to start going LFR again.
Best thing in life right now is not having raids forced on me.
Transferred all but two toons to ED
Deleted my duplicate 90 mage on ED because of the name. I can get a mage to 90 in far less than three months if I needed to.
The issue now is professions, and what to do with them on these toons.
