I did my first raid in a long time last night. With the stat squish and nerfs to SoO, it wasn't really a fair test of my skill, but I did okay for someone as rusty as I am. One of the things I realized was that I need the 90 to 100 leveling process to get back into the swing of my character, I think. In essence, I need the tune up time. This doesn't bother me, but it's an interesting thing to realize and I don't know how the rest of you find the process. Do you feel like you grasp your character immediately, or do you actually use the time it takes to level to get familiar with her or him again?

For me I think the changes to abilities and talents are part of the issue. I'm using a specific fury spec that's all about filling up the rage bar and then dumping it all as fast as possible, and it takes some tweaking with specific talents for specific fights to really take full advantage of it. So getting to 100, having the full set of Draenor Perks and that level 100 talent is going to make a difference. (So will starting the gear treadmill all over again, I suppose.) I won't be raiding mythic, but that's fine - I'm happy enough with the idea of normal/heroic with their flex scaling.

So are you looking forward to leveling 90 to 100? Or would you rather just pay another $60 and skip all that and jump straight into raiding again?
