Season 2 of War Within has been announced with patch last wednesday of February and the actual season starting first wednesday of March. So time to wrap up the projects of season 1.
The usual m+ - raid - profession triumvirate has continued, with a small dash of leveling the last new Esmë-reroll.
m+
The majority of the keys done has been the Epiphany m+guild nights, which for the most parts tends to be the same four dungeons (mists - ara kara - grim batol - dawnbreaker). As it usually tends to go when I do m+ in guild groups, even when Im not even voicing opinions. :) My OCD made me pug a couple of keys so scores would end up more even. One of the weeks the group I was in was hard carried by the tank, and timed 2 10s while at it. Sadly that means I have the Necrotic Wake portal, the one I really DIDN'T want :D
Broke down and did a few +2s on Wutteät on the side, the pull of keeping the KSM streak going hitting me now that time is running out. Intention of making a final season project of getting KSM in a week on the character, will see how that goes..
Raids
Esmënet did 3 raids, 2 of which were full reclears and 1 stopped on Ansurek. The raid that failed was fairly big and did not manage the usual stability. Picked up the one item I needed from there (Mandate from Ansurek), and obviously a lot of crests.
Professions
Now able to reliably craft rings, neck, cloak and wrist-belt-boots of all armor types at max rank. Can do max rank flasks and potions too but costing a lot of concentration at the moment. Way off on creating gems and enchants, so that's for next patch.
Have also stocked some more materials, but running low on enchanting materials as Esmëriel the Druid got to be enchanter... That I have not done anything on since october. Thus few items to disenchant besides the warband bound stuff from the island, and had to buy loads of dust to create the enchanted crests.
Leveling
Leveled another replacement alt up, Esmënehr the warlock hit level 80 after spamming timewalking dungeons with the xp buff you get from doing it during the event going on. And did the timewalking and dungeon weekly the week it was up to spice up the warbound gear it got equipped with. Made the character an enchanter (to disenchant all the warbound gear the character will no doubt get a lot of) and tailoring (to pick up cloth while doing the weekly dungeon rep quest if I do it). No plans to do anything endgame related.
Current feelings on the game
I was really not feeling like having WoW commitments when the new season starts. Intend not to be in a raid group that expects me to show up every raid night, so have notified Epiphany I will be erratic - which seems to mean I won't be able to join the raids at all. Which is a blessing.
Which means I'm not essentially back to non-commital Fighting Mongoose style play, which suits me fine.
None of the patch content (besides the raid) looks very appealing for long periods of time, so I'm going to guess I'll have another long break before 2 months passes of season 2.
For next time
Wutteät KSM in a week project first.
RIO season in review once it's available.
