Assuming you're a paladin (judging by your avatar) MC should be pretty easy to solo for you as prot, given a decent set of gear. I've done it the past month or two as a DK. You would have it even easier because of your more reliable heals. The only tricky guy is Gehennas, where I pop a pot to remove his curse and heal up before he applies it again, otherwise the rest is fairly straight-forward. Ragnaros has a certain spot you stand in (check the wowhead comments for a picture of it) so you get hit in the lava every time and avoid fall damage.
The only thing about it solo is that it does take me maybe about 2 hours to finish being careful to not die and avoid a long corpse run since I pull the trash one pack at a time for the most part (you really don't want more than one firelord if you can help it.)
Sunwell is pretty easy - I tanked a pug group through it this past week, only took 60-90 minutes or so, was fun.
Myself, in this downtime period has been cranking reps up to exalted pretty fast. I got 3 this past weekend I think and finished The Diplomat title. Been doing mostly BC ones as I have every Northrend one now besides Oracles which is in revered (considering switching if when I hit exalted with them since I have the green drake already.)
I have revered with Thrallmar, revered with Cenarion Expedition and I'll be finishing those two next. Lower City is also revered for me since I've been running Anzu - not gonna grind that since I'll hit exalted before I get the mount probably anyway.
Cenarion Circle may be next on the list, but I also have some other things to wrap up like finishing the Karazhan key quest chain, and getting to at least the epic cooking recipe from the Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline (highly doubt I'll be able to finish it all in the time left, so I've settled on getting that recipe.)
And also finishing up or helping with some of the older raid achievements (Ulduar, Naxx, ToGC) with my new guild.
But yeah, even not raiding progressively at the moment, I've still set myself a pretty full plate to knock achieves and things out of the way before we're inundating with Cataclysm content and I won't have time to do them.

One thing you may not be taking into account is silences. When I last tried this properly - back at the start of Wrath - I just couldn't take down a firelord because the silences crippled me so much.
Also, I'm not looking forward to Geddon, since his mana drain is magic which I can no longer dispel. That's going to hurt.
Still, I'm aware it's all possible in principle, I'm just going to have to be careful!

Race change comes with an optional name change for free too, fwiw.

Extremely. Not to mention the rep grinding / mat buying, you need two BWL runs (with everything going your way), which means you'd be cutting it very fine indeed in terms of when 4.0.3 hits. And it's a helluva lot of work to do only to not quite make it.

You can't do Ony anymore since she's a level 80 boss now. Used to be doable though.

Problem with BWL is the first 2 bosses aren't soloable.
Have you tried soloing AQ20? I did that a week ago, it was actually pretty fun.

They are duoable, so just find one person in your guild that can go with you for the first two BWL bosses, and you'll be good to solo after that.

What they should do is:
Forsaken becomes its own faction - Forsaken makes breakthrough, and can now harvest new undead soldiers from ALL races. So you have undead tauren, undead elfs, undead dwarfs... its like dks but a entire faction.
it would be easy to do, because the animations exists for all the current races. you just make them skeleton-model like. it would be the most economical way to make a third faction. forskaken would be the zerg of wow, twisting everything into shit.
i guess horde would need a new races too for the lack of one(Ogre's obviously...).
I just made this game insanely cool inside my own head!!!

Third faction would be awful, it sucks enough ass as is being limited to half of the playerbase for PvE.
This is a great idea. Also, WoW needs a new (meaningful) high end gold sink, could turn it into one, and it'd help servers with populace problems a bit.
Do quests, build rep, get a "the traitor" title, pay 10-20k gold and get ushered in. It should be one way though. Like if you defect, you should never be able to go back.
Could even drop cosmetic tweaks to each race. All of this would be really cool and a much better concept than a third faction, IMO.
Cannot even fathom the crying there would be though, rp nerds would have a melt down, because god forbid fun and comfort and choice supersedes a video game storyline. I mean, I like context, lore and story too, I read all the quests and follow the shit but game design should always be master, period.
Hell, if it was up to me, i'd let every race be every class, I think it's stupid that you can insinuate that say for example, with Draenei, you can't be Warlocks because they're so good and noble. Fuck that, you can't tell me there's not at least a few bastards in even the best of crowds.

Looks awesome.
Whoever took this picture desperately needs a new computer. The game shouldn't look nearly this ugly.

I've always thought druids should just be their own faction and always "yellow" to each other. I loved the idea of Moonglade. I don't know how I feel now that they've expanded it to two additional races though--it was more novel when there were only 2 races that could play the class.

Whoa. Man. I need to level my priest. She's 71 and undead. She'd look smoking hot on that horse and her name is "Hope" ... got lucky with the name since she's been around since launch.DeathNote said:
What's the best way to get rep for your faction now? Cloth turn-ins?
Edit: Oh wait--I just need to get 5 champion's seals and 500g since I'm undead? Score.
You need exalted.SnakeswithLasers said:
I'm a Blood Elf DK, almost revered, and it'd take about a month doing the 4 Argent Tournament dailies that give a Champion's Writ to buy Undercity Commendation Badge wroth 250 rep each.
I don't really want to bother doing quests or cloth turn ins cause they didn't announce they were taking these mounts out.

I'm pretty sure anyone not undead needs exalted, but undead don't

You can champion the playable factions in Cataclsym, meaning all you have to do is run regular ass dungeons to get exalted and buy all the regular mounts

Alright:
You are way over hit cap. You only need about 420 hit to get the hit cap.
None of you gear is reforged. Reforge Hit/Spirit into Mastery. If the item does not have hit or spirit, reforge crit to mastery.
Gemming:
Red: Intellect
Yellow: Int + Haste
Blue: Int + sta (only do 2 to meet the meta requirements)
You have a yellow gem in a red socket in your helmet.
Put an Int gem in your shoulders over Haste. This also applies to: Cloak, Bracers, Ring 1(loop of endless labyrinth), and relic
You do not need a +10 all stats gem.
Do not gem +20 haste, use Int/Haste gems
The only pieces you should be matching are your chest and legs with blue gems. That will give you your meta gem requirement (2 blue gems), and they also provide the most SP from socket matching.
In your legs: Reckless Ametrine, Brilliant Cardinal Ruby, and Glowing Dreadstone
In your chest: Brilliant Cardinal Ruby and Glowing Dreadstone
Change your boot enchant from Icewalker to Tuskarr's Vitality
Also level up your JC to take advantage of the 3 JC-Only gems!
Rotation:
Flame Shock
Lava Burst
Lightning Bolt
Priority:
If Lava Surge procs, finish casting your lightning bolt then cast Lava Burst next.
Check the (potential) cooldown of Lava Burst vs. stacks of Lightning Shield. Lava Burst will always come before Earth Shock
Flame Shock, more or less will be a non-issue because with the four piece bonus and Lava Burst being cast more with Lava Surge and Elemental Overload(the mastery) your flame shock will rarely need to be cast unless you are target changing.
Highly recommend getting Power Auras so you know when Lava Burst is off cooldown and when your lightning shield is at 9 stacks.
Your fire totem of choice should be searing totem. If in another 25 man raid, you should have a resto shaman, he will lay flametongue.

Does Flametongue Totem do something other than 6% Spell power? Because Arcane Intellect does that also (also Demonic Pact, I think, but I think DP does more)Entropia said:

Having seen videos of Al'Akir, it seems pretty implausible that you could kill something that large. He doesn't even fit on screen.
