I'm making good headway. After getting my feet wet again in game and leveling up my Lock and Hunter with the event; I did the same with my Ice mage, Shadow Priest and Prot Paladin.
All are max level 60's(which sounds weird to my vanilla WoW brain, full circle!?!) and all have their class version of the event vendor gear 'set'. Which isn't a real set but is, kind of. Bags emptied, quest logs cleared and bank re-sorted etc. All ready for the expansion. Where presumably the first green gear drop will replace what they have on at the moment. This is the way.
My other half has been doing the same with her characters. Between solo and dual grinding of the event were 'getting there'.
A story worth sharing from my Shadow Priest; The last of the event quests is a dungeon run. After getting into that dungeon the healer bailed straight away.... The tank ploughed on and in an 'oh shiz' moment thought I better 'do' something to heal, so I did.... In Shadow form.... Which I enjoyed in a weird way to the end of the dungeon.
So I don't know if the tank was that good(he must have been), the dps even better(they must have been) or my healing in shadow form while dps'ing being great(doubt it but we all lived); I've a feeling it was a lucky run and a combination of all with a heavy smattering of the dungeon not being 'that' hard. Still it was an unexpected situation and at the very least I feel safe in saying I can multitask.
My current leveling character is a Shaman(Elemental); A class I've not played in years, even before I left the game last time. But I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. Lighting chain with surge is very very Dark Jedi-esque giggling fun.
The road to 60 is paved with a mish-mosh gear look.
In between all of that my wife and I over the weekend did create our new Dracthyr. Of the new classes from the previous expansions they are one that has clicked with me the most. They're familiar yet so different. Very pick up and play. Which has me excited for the expansion.
Getting the characters into the 'real world' after the tutorial/story we geared them up with spare essence for the event vendor and have them ready for the expansion as well.
6 characters done, one doing and 6 more to do after..... Of those remaining 6 I'm not sure I'll grind the levels pre expansion. Besides the Prot Pala I'm not keen on Melee classes. Even as I hear good things about specs etc. Monk, Warrior, Rogue, Feral Druid, Death Knight, Demon Hunter.... All to be tested and seen before fully committing. I'll do that by getting the initial event quests done; buy the reagent bag and then make a decision.
I may change the druid to Balance as that was my very first class and spec in the game back in the day(never done resto(tree dance test doesn't count), so a return may be fitting.
As for Monk, there may be a long shot hope in the healer spec but again it's one I've never done.
All up in the air.
