It's all well and good to say that I'm going to level the Alt Swarm simultaneously, but what does that really mean?
Simple, really. I play one of the characters until it's time to train again. After training, it's time to move on to the next character. The characters will be played in the order listed in the Armory links on the left sidebar. Why this order? Well, that's the order that I created the characters in. No special reason.
So, you see, there is method to my madness. Occasionally.
Gleiara is the character that will get the most logins, but the least amount of play time. She is to be my bank alt. I'm taking up Enchanting to be able to disenchant greens, since the enchanting materials sell for much more.
Kaliina is going to present me with a special challenge. I have started a couple of shamans before, but the class just doesn't do much for me. I don't know why. Maybe I just haven't played them long enough. I think my highest is level 23 or something. Perhaps I'll discover the draw with Kaliina.
Aesara is one of my numerous hunters. Of all the classes that I've played, I enjoy hunters the most. And not because they're "easy mode". I personally am an archer, so I'm automatically drawn to any class in any game that makes use of the bow. Having a pet just makes the deal even sweeter.
Marilith is one of the few characters that I named myself without relying on the Randomize button. I was pretty surprised that the name wasn't already taken, but very pleased. It goes really well with a rogue. A marilith is a demonic creature whose appearance is similar to the naga, but mariliths are bigger, meaner, and have more arms. Here's a picture.
Anyway, I've got two other rogues, one of which is my second-highest level at 37. So, I won't be breaking any new ground for a while.
Rilly is my first warlock ever! I don't know what to expect, really. I've watched my cousin play his warlock, so I have some idea, but nothing major. I'm pretty excited to see what I can do with the class.
Leiline is going to be the easiest for me to play. I have the most experience playing a warrior, since that's what my highest level character is. I enjoy tanking, too, even though it's tough (and frequently thankless and expensive).
Altaana is going to be a fun one to play. Beyond the fact that she's a paladin, she's going to learn Engineering. I hope that this will alleviate the problem with pallys not having any ranged attacks (no, Judgement doesn't count).
Maelinn is my second priest. I'm not too sure how well I'll do with her, since I don't have much experience in a healing role. On the other hand, that's one thing that makes me want to play her. It's yet another aspect of WoW that I just don't know very well.
Crise is my second mage, though I don't know that I can really count the other one, who still hasn't hit level 20. So, pretty much everything with Crise is new to me. Dropping huge fireballs on the uglies is great fun!
Velwyn is my first attempt at a druid. I hear great things about druids, and I really like the shapeshifting dynamic. So, I'm pretty excited about her.
Welcome to Alt Swarm! This is the diary of a WoW alt-o-holic. I love to play WoW, but I find myself getting bored with the same grind with the same character, day after day.
To rescue myself and my WoW account, I have created a set of characters on the Sentinels realm: one for each class, two from each race. I intend to level them simultaneously. This is great because I'll play a character for a few hours and then it will be time to switch to a different character, in a different location.
Alt Swarm is composed of ten characters, the current maximum on any given realm. The links in the Armory section on the left sidebar go to the characters' Armory pages.
This blog was created to post my thoughts on the classes as I play them, several for the first time. I don't expect to write anything groundbreaking. I started playing just after Burning Crusade was released, so there are a lot more experienced players out there.
However, I enjoy playing WoW, and I'm pretty excited about my Alt Swarm. And, who knows? Maybe you'll be able to find a gem midst my rambling!
