Boedangles' Ultimatum

I've reached a point with Boedangles where I have to make a decision as to what exactly his future will be. Right now he has a 5k gearscore when his PvE gear is on. He has pretty much all the triumph armor and a good deal of drops from the higher end heroics and lower end raids. His PvP armor is pretty weak. He has the whole Deadly Gladiator Regalia and some Wintergrasp epics, but overall, it's not that great.

I need to decide if I want to pursue Boedangles as a PvP mage or a PvE mage. He is dual specced as frost for PvP and arcane for PvE. He can get about 3.5k dps unbuffed on bosses and is hit capped for PvE. His PvP stats are a bit weaker.

You might be asking why I just don't do both, and I think eventually I will, but for the time being I want to pursue only one. By dividing and conquering one aspect at a time of my character, I can get things done much faster and more effeciently than if I just tried to get PvP and PvE gear at the same time.

Depending on how things go in my guild raid groups and how I see myself performing in Battlegrounds a decision will be reached. I'll be sure to let you know what my decision is and how I made it when the time comes. In the mean time, enjoy your virtual worlds. :)

World Explorer! Christopher Colombus ain't got nothing on me!

Well, it only took me 7 days and hours of searching WoWwiki to do it, but I finally accomplished my goal of world explorer. It was actually kind of an accident on how it happened. I was flying around in Northrend mining and I got the explorer achievement for that continent and the shiny epic tabard, too. When I looked through the rest of the areas, I realized I had about 75% of the total map already uncovered and that doing the rest wouldn't take that long.

Outlands went down really fast. The epic flying mount helped quite a bit, and it was interesting to look at it from the air. I spent most of my time on the ground as I was a very poor mage and flying was far outside of the realm of possibility for my pocketbook. Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms took a while, but they were finally conquered as well. I really liked being able to go back and look at the places that I leveled at and the landmarks that I remembered having epic battles at. Some of the not so good memories came back, too (looking at you Stranglethorn Vale).

Overall, I'm glad I did it. I got a shiny epic tabard to go on my character and an even shinier title to go along with it. Next up for Boedangles is the Loremaster achievement, I think. Loremaster would be a pretty cool title to have and you get a lot of gold/rep/achievement points to go with it. I could probably pick up some of the rep achievements along the way as well. Plotting out the future of Boedangles may be in my best interest at this point.
