Yupp, I agree with you there, even though it makes for easy levelling, I
missed the thrill of knowing I might die to any of the mobs.

The only time I came close to dying (other than from my own stupidity
leading to falling off high places and such) was when I engaged a rare not
realising that unlike the other half dozen rares it had about 15 times the
HP and was sitting in the path of elite patrols. I ended up pulling dozens
of elite mobs, one of them with a couple of million HP. Had to resurrect my
pet several times, laid a lot of traps, feigned death repeatedly, in short,
I had to really use all my hunter skills. I killed the mob with 2% of my
health, then died to one of the remaining 17 elites my pet had tanked while
I tried to revive it.

That was the coolest moment in WoD, it was exciting and required all my
(severely diminished) skill. It reminded me of the hunter class quests in
vanilla or facing Old Sooty around level 12 or so :-)

Agreed. I raised my Rogue from level 62 to level 90 using the boost. I then
started questing through the scripted WoD quests. At the start I was
severely struggling. It wasn't until I realised that I started off without
any talents, skills or gear of value that I understood why it was so hard.
As the quests progressed and I unlocked talents and skills and got gear as
quest rewards, things steadily got easier and by the time I had finished the
scripted part and arrived at my garrison, I once again was pretty safe from
almost anything at my level despite being on a character I had no longer any
idea how to play.

Cheers
Urbin
