Eirebull hits level 71

Eve over, I logged onto Eirebull and started knocking out the Borean Tundra quest hubs. Everything south of Warsong Hold is now finished and I am helping out the druids of DEPTHA. I must say two things have struck me about WotLK.

Firstly
There is a sense of humour. The bloodthirsty animal rights activists (the druids) want the crazed looters wiped out. The Crazed looters all work for Nesingwary and spout of things like ‘only 40 more horns to get that new gun’, a direct poke at players and grinding. You can’t talk to the druids for 3 minutes after killing an animal or they try to kill you, the debuff says, don’t talk to the druids for 3minutes or until you find some way of washing off the blood’.

Secondly
The visuals are great. Yes they are cartoon like but they still look excellent. I am thinking about Warsong Hold, the Mist with the Viking like raiders, the flaming bonfires and the spider lair instance. As you can see I haven’t got that far yet.

Eirebull hit level 71 last night, she isn’t shy about killing anything that gets in her way and taking every quest that is going. Apart from the 2 instances I played the night I started I haven’t been back into an instance. There has been very little ganking though you see it mentioned in general, I certainly haven’t been the focus of it, whenever I meet and alliance player or indeed any other player there is usually no problem about sharing a quest node, usually a boss type mob.
I also note that Eirebull can kick out huge amounts of damage. When I use all the cool-downs (wolves, fire elemental, earth elemental, bloodrage, shamanistic someorother) nothing survives. In fact single boss mobs go down disappointingly easily. Where Eirebull gets into trouble is when she takes on several at the same time.
