Altoholics Anonymous: after 15 years and playing every class to max level except Shaman, I finally have a main! Frost Mage! Yer a Frost Mage, Harry!

I'm one of those players who has always missed out on endgame content because I'd get bored and spend a ton of time leveling up new characters. I've done that all the way back to Vanilla. I never really loved raiding or PvP, though I did partake some, but leveling a new character was always exciting.

Each time I'd take a break and then come back to WoW after a few years, I'd start over on a new server, which means that all in all I've spent a LOT of time leveling through zones and dungeons. [Relevant Better Off Dead clip.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWqMa0PwPbU)

Even though I love different things about different classes -- signature skills like Warrior charge, tanking in general, Mage Shatter combo & portals, DK Death Grip, Prot Pally's shield throw, Disc Priest bubbles, Rogue shadowsteppin', Druid shifting -- I'd always get bored at some point. WoW's basic combat skills always felt really good, and they still do, but I would eventually find myself missing abilities from a different class. Except Shaman. Never managed to get more than 30 levels or so into a Shammy.

Then I started trying to make gold to buy WoW tokens and pay for my game time. That led to leveling lots of professions, grinding rep for recipe unlocks, leveling up Draenor Garrisons and mission boards, etc. That ate up hundreds more hours of time.

BUT NOW NO MORE. I recently came back and I realized the thing I miss more than anything else when I'm away from the game is playing Frost Mage. I love all the roots and slows, the Shatter combo, the portals, the utilities. Frost Mage is always fun, especially when you try pushing the limits of AoE or soloing elites. Frost rocks! This time I came back and I'm just sticking with the one class, leveling 8.2 professions for him, and not looking back.

I did it, everyone! I picked a main! That means there's hope for even the most diehard altoholics.

TL;DR - Whooptidoo this guy picked a main after 15 years.
