Caught sight of this earlier today... POSSIBLY considered spoilers, so...

Kinda cool... either the engine really shows it's age when manipulating objects, or they just haven't polished things up, but
when they're under attack the zeppelins just kind of spin around awkwardly.

Also,
Garrosh is a moron. He has the leadership capabilities of a jizzsock
That is all.

Damn, that warlock have 66k HP. :lol

Also, nice intro. But it might get annoying after doing this for the 10th time on alts.

I managed to log into the Beta and Blizzard really fucked up the human forms of Worgen: here's what my level 12 priest looks like in human form:

:lol

(Unsettling as shit!)

More odd to see is a wand with 1200 peak damage.

66k hp... Gotdamn, I need to pull screenshots to see how this jump in hp from LK to Cata compared to the jump from BC to LK. Seems like its ALOT larger.

Your numbers are a bit on the low side there. I'm quite sure T3 tanks broke 10k, T6,5 tanks were at least 25k and I have 55k buffed in a 264/271 set.

E: Yeah, you needed over 23k HP to survive the worst case scenario on Brutallus.

Really? I just did it by memory. I don't remember tbc being that high. But then my guild only dabbled in Sunwell.

That's actually quite cool seeing as I group with tanks with less than that a lot in random heroics.

Well straight off the leveling curve with the crafted blue set I think I had 22k hp or so when I started tanking. Got a few ugly looks before I started getting T9 :lol

With all these hp being tossed around for Cat, I suspect some degree of hilarity to ensue as ppl pop Last Stand and the like. :p

I broke 20k in mid T5. I've still got the screenshot knocking around that I did at the time. Taken in Gruul's lair, but geared a bit beyond that.

I expect screenshots of tanks in Wintergrasp under the effects of a 20-stack Tenacity buff.

You know, as much as i HATE DPS plate classes that rolls need on tanking gear in 5 mans, im glad that there is some nice players out there who think about us poor tanks.

I had a ret pally needing on the Black Heart, the dps shaman that was with us saw this too and rolled need & won it, than trade it back to me. If he hadnt, the pally would have got it since my roll was very low.

Whoever you are troll shaman, i <3 you.

Also, death to ret pallies.

What's the name of that add-on that checks for potential item upgrades? I think I've heard it mentioned in this thread a couple of times. I could've also completely misunderstood the addon's usage.
You might be looking for Rawr. It's not an addon, just a third-party program; lets you import characters from the armory and whatever. They are usually updated pretty frequently and they have modelled pretty much everything. Check the EJ or Rawr module threads if they note that they haven't (only usually the case when new sets of trinkets are released).

Basically it just takes your gear, talents, gems, etc and calculates what you need. You can remove buffs (i.e. misery, draenei hit %, ICC buff %) to help you customize what you need. You can also customize what kind of gemming templates, rotations and other stuff.

I tried that thing before and it's kind of complicated :lol

I'll try it now that I know more about the game :)



P.S.: Warlocks rule. 20%xp BOA items + pet + tap life = no downtime and quick leveling. Fucking love them. On level 20 now.

Still, I am running with affliction as they say it's the best levelling option, but when I enter dungeons I don't know what to hit with. Dots just go wasted on mobs as they die rather quick. Any tips?

Shadow bolt single target trash; Reign of Fire multitarget trash; Curse, Corruption and Shadowbolt bosses. Add in more DoT shenanigans as you acquire them to the boss fights. For trash, warlocks don't really pick up as affliction til the mobs start living longer.

Congrats, one less thing to pay for in Cata for you as well now, heh.
That was the main push to get a lot of people to do it. Saving 5000g is something people were really into. :lol Plus it's a chance to get out of ICC-H.

Thanks for the tip, will try it rigth now.

One last thing, sucubbus or voidwalker? I can see some guides recommending the sucubbus over the voidwalker butI don't see the reason. The voidwalker tanks pretty well and has the taunt ability. The sucubbus..has nothing interesting as far as I can see.

Oh, I have the Violet one too. But the Ulduar one looks much cooler! Plus I wanted to get Starcaller and the Ulduar Drakes are easy enough to get along with it.

If you get a 310 in Cata, I believe you can skip the 5000g fee. All of the 310s require a decent amount of work, so that seems fair to me.

You can draintank yourself after you get Fel Concentration and use Succubus since she does more DPS.

Also, Stormwind feels like a real city now. It's sprawling!

ok how the fuck does this happen.


priest is chasing me. i know he has a rogue partner around him as well since he's helped in ganking me like 3 times at this point.


the priest is in all wrathful gear, with 30k health. im a hunter with only 27k health. obviously im going to lose unless i play smart -- ill definitely lose if that rogue friend of his is around at the same time.

so i mount up and the priest chases me north for a minute or two. i get off my mount and lay a trap down hoping he'll freeze himself on it.


instead of him getting frozen, my trap just disappears and then the rogue comes out of nowhere, STEALTHED, and after 2k mana of the priest im dead.


so how the FUCK did that fucking rogue catch up to me while stealthed? There is no way sprint lasted that long and there's no way he was able to be mounted because i had my humanoid tracking on. The only thing i can anticipate is that they figured i'd go north and he was just waiting around there, but i have no idea how they knew how far i'd run or where i'd end up being.


HOW is that possible?

An Affliction Lock's best pet is the Felhunter. Give's a great buff for Aff specs. Also just wait till you get Seed of Corruption you'll be doing super high dps on trash.

I have a question for fellow bear tanks. I've been saving up my frosties for the 4 piece set that gives essentially a new barkskin with your enrage ability. It's been really hard not being able to spend them on anything else lol. I've read forums online and most of them say "get your 4 piece!!!" But lately in icc, ive been getting some drops that are better stat wise individually than the set pieces, so I was wondering if getting the 4-piece was THAT important?

Warrior / Druid tank 4 pieces are absolutely amazing, and you should definetly get them. Use them on fights your having trouble with, use the better stat pieces on everything else until you get tokens to 264 the set pieces.

Rogues can disarm traps.
