Okay, let me start by saying my bad. I didn’t realize it had been so long since my last post. I put out that “teaser” image and pretty much went about my merry way. What happened with all of that is a story for another time. Tonight I have this story…a story about my beloved ‘lock going over to the dark side.

A very long time ago when I 1st started playing WoW I made a warlock who turned into a bank alt. I liked the class but didnt really understand the mechanics of it all. Along came Burning Cursade and I rolled another warlock and her name was Aly. Again I had no clue what I was doing. So I rolled a few other toons and went about my merry way. Then for some reason I dusted her out of altdom and started leveling her. Eventually she became my main. My 1st ever level 70. Once I got into playing Aly and being the best possible warlock I could be I became affliction. In the beginning I really had no clue what I was doing but once I got into it and boy did I get into it, afflicition was the only spec for me. There was no appeal in Destruction, I mean really if I wanted to fling fire around I would have become a mage. Demo was cool but honestly if I wanted a pet I’d just level my hunter. No Aly was affliction and she was gonna stay that way with her little mana battery imp by her side.

Then along came Warth of the Lich King. A shiney new class to play. I made Ilianah and Aly slowly become a distant memory. I’d log in and see her name but Ilianah my DK was so much fun to play. I mean she had plate. She had dieases. She had everything Aly had but better. Ilianah got to 70 and I figured I should level Aly now but no the call of death and decay was to strong. Ilianah hit 80 1st. Aly sat in Dalaran collecting dust. Still though she called to me. My faithful ‘lock.

As I try and gear up Ilianah for the end game I’ve decided to give Aly one more try. However in doing so I’ve done something I’ve never thought I would do. I respec’d. Not only did I respec but I respec’d out of affliction and into deep Demo. I….I….I got Aly a felguard. ‘weeps. I feel so dirty. What’s worse is I kinda like it. I know that once Aly reaches 80 and gets geared up for the end game I will respec back to afflicition. It’s just for now this seems like the best option for leveling. ’sigh.
