Well I finally hit 80.
The journey really wasn't too bad. Between the LFG tool, swift flight form/cold weather flying at 71, +10% XP heirloom bonus, and Blizzard's built in quest helper, it went by faster than ever.
The first thing I did after dinging was to start setting up my UI. I'll have a detailed post about that later, but basically I started moving things around and positioning them in such a way where I wouldn't have to manually change anything when I switched between my tank and DPS spec. One of the things I hated about my Paladin was needing to turn on different addons depending on if I was tanking or healing. So I wanted a UI that would dynamically change based on my spec - more on that later too!
So while I was setting up my UI I decided to queue for a random heroic as a DPS. I knew if I queued as a tank I'd get a group instantly and wanted to have to time to set things up. Plus I figured it couldn't hurt to try to snag a drop or two being carried as DPS rather than fighting my way through as an undergeared tank. The queue popped after only 5ish minutes so I didn't even completely finish my UI. But I jumped in as a kitty and actually wasn't too bad. Keeping Savage Roar up and swipe spamming was sufficient to put me just below the tank and above a warlock in the group at about 1900ish DPS. Yes, in reality it's pathetically low, but I'm in unechanted i180 blues and only half a UI. I did end up getting some i200 blue bracers from the run which was decent.
Thus far, I've titled my blog posts as "LEVEL": "TITLE" unless it was a video or opinion piece. To track my progress now, I'm going to start using my gear score (from wow-heroes).
