Ironman: Completed! :)


For anyone who remembers the ironman challenge (lvl using no gear with
stats, no buffs, no grouping, and most importantly, no deaths), I have
just dinged 85! :-D

http://wowironman.com/ hasn't updated me yet, but it shows I have
indeed kept within the ruls, and somehow I'm the first warlock and
only the 6th 85 in total. Surprised me tbh, since it didn't feel that
hard to me; the real challenge was keeping a high level of vigilance,
not aggroing adds, being very cautious on tough mobs, etc.

I did have an "easy" class though, the difference between my warlock
and the rogue I had before was enormous; biggest challenges I had with
mobs was moving up into new expansion content, since mobs hit hard if
you don't outlvl them. Cataclysm mobs are horrendous when you're in
greys, I struggled with them at lvl 83, no way anyone would get far at
lower lvl than that (and some classes will never be able to do them
IMO, it takes a pet or excellent kiting/rooting skills to beat these
mobs)

So, challenge complete, wondering what to do with my time now! MoP
beta calls, I think... then Diablo 3 in 2 weeks :-)
