So...Ice melts?

This is a special blog entry. It's special because it's the first noob moment that was submitted to me by a reader.  The moment goes something like this. "When I first started playing a Death Knight, I thought the ability path of frost let me walk on lava. I was wrong, very wrong". Path of Frost is a Death Knight ability similar to a Shaman's Water Walking in that it allows the user to walk on water until the buff runs out or you take damage, usually the latter. This isn't a complicated noob moment but hey I'm thrilled to get a submission. To avoid a moment like this with a new ability, just mouse over it in your spell book and make sure to fully read the description. For the most part this will eliminate issues. Their is one issue that wont be covered by the description. The issue I'm talking about is the bane of both Death Knights and Shaman alike. That is falling off or worse, intentionally dismounting over a body of water with ether Water Walking or Path of Frost active. Normally, falling into water causes no damage. However, if you fall into, or rather onto water, with one of these abilities active you will take damage proportionate to the height from which you fell. If your anything like me that will result in your untimely and splashy death. This can be annoying but can also provide some entertainment with friends your grouped with. When grouped together players share all buffs (bonuses granted to the players by ether a ability or circumstances). As a result if you know a member of your party is about to drop into water you can cast Water Walking or Path of Frost on them and yup, you guessed it, kill them dead. I would not suggest doing this with someone you don't know or someone who doesn't have a sense of humor. Otherwise this would be tantamount to being a troll and no one likes trolls (my apologize to people that play trolls).

My thanks to Scott for your submission. If you want to see your noob moment rehashed, or you have a noob moment that you need help with, you can send them to me at morisonwow@yahoo.com.
Remember were all noobs, some of us just fly the flag a little higher.
