At about level sixty-one Elessedil and I starting questing together, and were able to complete each quest by ourselves except the five player recommended. We leveled to seventy in a little fewer than ten days, which is roughly one level per day. Plus I was specialized in protection and Elessedil was holy! What we lacked in damage we made up for in survivability, and were able to tackle much larger encounters. Many say Warriors need a “pocket healer” to reach full potential; I believe it goes both ways in that I am also Elessedil’s pocket tank. 
The quests in Terokkar Forest seemed rather short but still fun. One chain led us to receive matching wolf helms and another had us saving the Allerian Stronghold from Blood Elves. We got to use an explosive device and detonate a whole area which shook the ground beneath us and destroyed anything near.
Rejoice, my friends! Hogit has saved us from the looming shadow that threatened our very lives!
Nagrand is like Stranglethorn Vale 2.0 and I don’t want to spoil everything for you so I will skip straight to the Blade’s Edge Mountains. Upon entering one of the first Alliance friendly towns you come across is the little Toshley’s Station, which is run by a crazy bunch of Gnomes. They are under constant attacks from the bugs that roam the area in what looks like a Starship Troopers scene. They have a device that charges you with energy and blasts you around to different locations. You fly high into the air and slowly float down to your destination, fun and dangerous!
Toshley’s Station Engineer: You trying to be a hero, Hogit?
Hogit: Just trying to kill some bugs, sir.
While in another more wooded are of Blade’s Edge we cleared an area of Skettis for a short quest line. The Sketti homes are like a mix of spooky undead and elf tree houses. They blend in well with the surroundings and have a tendency to sneak up on you! Elessedil and I summoned one of their deities we needed to defeat and were rewarded with some nice visual effects at the end.

Dear Hogit,
I’ve got a question again. How do you manage the pictures/thumbnails to be surrounded by text? The installation of wordpress 2.1, lightbox2.0 and your theme don’t allow me this. Am I doing something wrong? As far as I could see it could have be achieved via the class=left tag though it isn’t working for me.
Maybe you could find some spare minutes to help a fellow dwarf. You may email me too, so this topic is not further adressed via the comments.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Grunt

Just have to add an align=right to your images, or with css use float:right.

Dear Hogit,
thank you so much for the advise. It works. Though it seems switching between [Visual] and [Code] tab changes something in the formating every time. It’s wierd. But after some tries wordpress seemed to save the align command right.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Grunt

I forgot – maybe you would like to add a “redirect to last page” command to the post/comment-verifier that takes you back to the post you wrote a comment to?

Since I solo I had to take the easy way out and spec full Shadow. However, this does cause healing in the couple of instances I’ve done to be rather tricky because these are designed where multiple people can be taking damage, and managing my mana pool gets really tricky.
When we get to the boss and I tell them please be careful and let me reserve my mana for the tank it works out just fine, which makes me think I should just heal everyone else less and they’d be more careful about the aggro.
Great pictures. It makes me want to switch to WordPress but I dont think I could stomach finding the time to make the switch.
