The Barrens

Etsuko is in her sweet 16s. She's in this strange spot where the quests are either too easy or too hard for her. God, I hate the Barrens. Even with general chat turned off, it's such a large zone to travel. But the skinning is good at least (she is a Miner/Skinner). Hopefully now that she is of a comparable level, she can do quest with her guildmates instead of solo (or stag, depending on how you want to view it).

True fact of the day: NPCs will be dead at the Crossroads, no matter what time of day you log on.

I'm still having trouble with multiple mobs, although I can handle two as long as they're not both 2 levels above me or more. My current strategy involves putting down a Stoneclaw totem to keep one of the mobs occupied while I focus all of my elemental fury on the other one. I can't seem to kill my skull target fast enough though, so there's always that period that both are hitting me, and then I have to heal once I get to the second mob, which is a rather risky proposition considering the knockback.

Also, she now has her own Armory page. Thanks Blizzard for validating her existence!
