A Week without Warcraft

As I mentioned my main PC died last weekend. I have decided to take a mini break while I get it back up and running. Obviously this does not stop me thinking and reading about all things Warcrafty.

Arch-Druids.

Phaelia was kind enough to inform us about the (possible) next Hero Class. I really have no idea how they will implement this. When the idea of Hero Classes was first mentioned, I thought it would work by sacrificing one tree to enhance another tree. For instance if I was a Feral Druid, I would Sacrifice my Balance Tree to gain more Feral Talents.

For Blizzard to start a new class though, means they will have something rather unique. Personally I look forward to it and I would jump at the chance to experience it.

On the home front, I have been seriously looking at getting a X-Key Pro. For those that are not familiar to this technology, it is basically a Keypad that a lot of Multi-Boxers use. You can program any key on your keyboard to exist on this keypad.

This is an example of a Druid configuration. I plan to design a layout that suits both my Shamans and my Druids. It is still a work in Progress (since I have not even ordered it yet) but the general idea is to use similar skills for the one button. For example I could use Wrath and Lightning Bolt on the same Key.

UI and Buttons.

I plan to display this in two ways. Firstly I will use Bongo’s to set up the UI so it appears the same as the Key Layout on the X-Key Pro. Secondly I will actually Print buttons to stick on the X-Key Pro. I will use the graphics from WowWiki to create custom icons that are Half of one spell and half of another. I think this will allow me to easily recognise the bindings I will use.

I think that will do for now.
