Yeah it is embarrasing at lvl 15 in ragefire all the rest had run speed enchants so all I got to do was loot and try to get to the next battle. I only did about 10% of total damage, run run run, corruption, wind up affliction or shadowbolt, dead before it hits ,run run run. Now mostly I just rain of fire and loot, no time to dot or fire off anything unless it is a boss. That will change. Out in the world the voidwalker is king, I mostly die when taking shortcuts and getting unhorsed with too many mobs. Briarthorn,gimme briarthron, no, thats a pack of worgen, thats a bad thing, must stagger to somewhere safe, byebye void. Soulstone, call void, 'I don't like this place'..cracks me up :-)
