Shamans are getting some pretty major changes. First the fire nova cooldown is reduced by 6 seconds, and it will trigger from your flame shock dot instead of your fire totems. And an enhancement talent will give you spell resistance when you wind shear someone.

I'm not sure what to think about the Word of Glory cooldown nerf for pallies. I've played a lot of low level pvp recently, and I liked holy paladins the most because they are the best counter to those ridiculously overpowered hunters (holy shock hunter, crusader strike their pet to build up holy power fast enough to heal yourself with word of glory all the time, making you outlast the hunter).

There were a bunch of new hairstyles datamined from the last Cataclysm beta build, I really hope we'll see them in patch 4.1. I'm such a vain bastard and I've always been very grumpy about the recycled haircuts we got in the WotLK barbershop.

Anyone else excited about the new 5 mans? Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub? I'm personally excited for some new content, having cleared all of the current content.

[Krista Belle Davis]

I have a mixed feeling about ZA & ZG. I ran them like crazy before to try and get the mounts. Not so much Zul'Aman since that stopped giving out war bear but Zul'Gurub every week. I still have a glacial bag and a half filled with the Gurubashi turn ins. Hopefully I'll be able to sell them for a mint.

I would rather see new 5-mans then rehashes but they are better than nothing.

Unless they allow fire nova to work with searing totem/proc with it the change will be useless for enhancement.

So I just got done installing Wrath of the lich king after 3 days of downloading, however contrary to what I have heard from several different websites after downloading just wrath i was able to play WoW without BC or origional WOW. Im in the process of installing Cata at the moment but when I was DLing Wrath It had more then 7gbs of stuff to DL but Cata is only like 2. Im planning on buying BC but either way i don't understand how i can play Wrath without the origional WOW and yes I was able to go to northrend with the Zepplin.

If you have an account, you have the original WoW. Besides that, I did not understand this post.

The answer is quite obvious. The reason "Wrath" was 7 gigs and and Cata was 2 is because when you tried to dl Wrath, your comp thought "hey, this requires vanilla. no vanilla. I'll just get vanilla, then tbc, then wotlk" It simply didn't tell you it was doing that. Each stage of the game is more or less 2 gigs apiece.

And on the subject of 4.1 patch notes, allow me to say whoot for not caving to entitled scrublings and reintroducing the Amani Warbear (atleast so far). The new mounts look fun. Also, yay for arms warriors being able to stunlock again. I can't wait to knock people on their ass and spam recklessness crits on them again. ahhh, good days.

Add http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/firetree/qon/simple to the list please. Got a lot of free time nowadays so I thought I'd check out how WoW has been. It's been 2 years since I last played, and even before that I was never a "hardcoe" player, taking about 2 years to get to level 55 or so. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Everything seems so much more streamlined now, and the quests (in WotLK) finally have real storylines. The WotLK soundtrack is also significantly better than the original and BC.

Just started Cataclysm earlier today - my only conclusion so far is that the sudden jump in both mob strength and equipment stats is insane. Both of the previous expansions had a jump, but it was nowhere near as large.

[Lovingly]

Man, I'm loving these heirlooms. I only did 10 quests and am already skipping through Hillsbrad and the Arathi Highlands.

[amhain]

Just started playing less than a week ago , I got the battlechest . After about a week I am level 48 shadow priest , dang I played a lot in break.

I have all the cloth heirlooms, the staff, the caster cloak, and one of the Intellect trinkets (I should be able to get the second one today if I try). It's all for my Resto Shaman (went for cloth just because I may level a Mage or Warlock in the future) but I haven't started leveling yet. I imagine all of that combined with http://www.wowhead.com/spell=78632 and maybe the Heirloom helm when my guild hits level 20 will just make leveling so insanely fast and easy. Tried to win the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby for the only Heirloom ring available but there were just too many people doing it. Lost in about 10 minutes.

I remember when a guildmate of mine went and entered that contest. A bunch of us got on our mammoths and covered up the walrus until he came back with the fish. Oh there was a lot of level 1's QQ'ing us that day. :tongue:

Awesome.

Now to find someone with a mammoth. I want that ring so much just to be a showoff.

So we tried getting the For the Horde achievement yesterday. What a failure that was. First thing, we didn't have enough people, only three healers and I think two tanks. It was fun ambushing Stormwind but it was just such a failure, lol. I want to try again but it seems hard to get a good raid group going.

It's not a joke anymore like it was at the end of wrath. All guards have like 116k HP. Garrosh has 130M and the cities are more populated now. Plus we are in the first tier on gear/content.

Also earlier someone lead Sheandris Feathermoon to org again where she killed Garrosh twice...and at least 100 horde. Anyone who doesn't know she is the General of the Sentinel army for the night elfs from Feathermoon stronghold in Fererals. She has a massive AoE moonfire that does apparently 100K+ damage per tick. It was able to be kicked but I looked today and it was shielded for her.

Yeah, guards aren't really a problem. Just you can't even touch Garrosh. Plus it didn't help there were a few alli locks who feared our whole group a couple of times.

[Izzy Coleman]

For the Horde achievement is serious business now. I got the bear mount BEFORE Wrath was released, since the achievement came out at the end of BC. It took 3 raids of 40 people, and only one raid got the tag, but others had to help kill the bosses since they were tuned for level 80, not 70 as we were. It was painful, and took a long time, but we were the first on the server to get it.

[Stephanie Valentine]

Oh we'll get it eventually. Just you wait! Just have to organize it better.

Also, any tanks out there have any tips for a Warrior tank? I'm leveling my warrior atm and am loving the instant queues. But I'm still having a tiny bit of trouble holding aggro once in a while.

Single Target Threat Priority:
Shield Slam > Revenge > Rend > Devastate

AoE Threat Priority:
Rend > Thunder Clap > Shockwave > Revenge

Switch up targets every so often to hit with single target abilities. I never tanked as a Warrior though so I really don't know what it's like. Did some Frost DK tanking in WotLK which was easy.

[I’m my own]

Add my new character to the list: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/stormrage/metrophor/advanced (totally stole that name)

I need to hit level 15 and start some dungeons already. I can literally spam heals right now and not run out of mana.

[Angel Torres]

4.1 patch is going to bring flying to Ghostlands. I won't be hitting the invisible brick wall in EPL anymore. Now they need to take the last three zones off the no-fly list. We won't see that though probably.

[Romy Welsch]

I rarely get pissed off while playing bgs or wow but that last twin peaks match just bothered me. First thing, Blizz really needs to go back through the maps and check out any bugs and glitches. Twice already, I've been feared behind boxes or even inside the tube to the side of the horde flag spot. Also when I blink, I expect to be 20 yards in the direction I am facing unless a wall is in the way. Not some bump in the terrain. Countless times I've tried blinking and find myself running in the same spot.

Also the definition of Ice Block, "You become encased in a block of ice, protecting you from all physical attacks and spells for 10 sec, but during that time you cannot attack, move or cast spells." Lol, jk, priests can dispel it. It is so ridiculous...

At least you don't play a broken class like demo lock in bg's. I swear whenever I hop into one it's like everyone trips over themselves to go get the 'free hk'. I tried to post more but couldn't do it while stunned. :tongue:

Be thankful you're not a Hunter. :sweat:

Also, hooray for upgrades! Got a new weapon, ring, and legs. Just need to replace my shoulders, trinkets, and feet. Did Argaloth in Baradin Hold and hope to start doing Bastion of Twilight trash runs soon for some BoE epics.

A few weeks ago I cancelled my sub. I've played WoW for 5 years now and I just needed a break, or possibly to stop playing alltogether. I played Champions online for a while, it's been about a month of that now, fun game but it has plenty of annoyances to balance out the good parts. A friend of mine really got into Rift in the head start (Playing before release) and I figure I'll be buying that today and giving it a go, it's incredibly similar to WoW yes, but then there must be a reason i played it for 5 years, i wouldn't keep playing a game for that long if I didn't like it.
