The monk joins the party

The new monk class for World of Warcraft wasn't on my mind, but if you'd like to read about it, look over here.

The monk class for WoW does look interesting to me. I'm sure I'll roll one up, even if it's just to experiment with the class for awhile. I like the idea of healing the group as you do beat the crap out of baddies. Definitely a more exciting way of contributing than watching health bars. 

I'm typically the healer in our regular WoW adventures and would love to actually get in the fight. My guess is that the monk won't offer the serious healing capabilities that other true healing classes offer, but I hope that for non-raid situations the monk's healing will be adequate. I can't wait to test it out.

Obligatory Easter Comic

I had a moment to whip up a comic for Easter and the day isn't even over. 

I played both EQ and WoW this weekend, which is quite a bit more than I can usually manage. I feel a little guilty because I should have been writing rather than playing games.

Regarding WoW: My dad and I went to Hellfire Peninsula with my boys and we managed to kill some 

bad guys in an instance.  We did wipe near the end of the instance and the kids were ready to call it a day.

Regarding EQ: I played my mage. My friend Mark and I went to Blackfeather Roost and beat up harpies. Lag was really bad at points. You'd think a 50 mbs connection would be enough to play a game from the '90s. I know that latency isn't the same as bandwidth, but there's an implied amount of performance when you pay extra for a connection of that size. At least my mercenary pulled her weight.
