The cost for this is 250 gold. The name has also changed. I've updated my original post with the new information. "

Not so bad I guess...

250g is nothing for an 80. might be a bit much for new player dinging 60.

i'm glad people 1-60 are required to be on the ground. it makes pvp servers awesome.

Uh? It already doesn't affect Lava Burst on the live servers. :lol Been like that for a long time.

Don't believe? Here, taken from wowhead :

Maelstrom Weapon Rank 5
Requires One-Handed Axes, Two-Handed Axes, One-Handed Maces, Two-Handed Maces, Staves, One-Handed Exotics, Two-Handed Exotics, Fist Weapons, Miscellaneous, Daggers
When you deal damage with a melee weapon, you have a chance (higher than rank 4) to reduce the cast time of your next Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Lesser Healing Wave, Healing Wave, Chain Heal, or Hex spell by 20%. Stacks up to 5 times. Lasts 30 sec.

Odd question about the real ID. Is there any way to change my name. I'm still in consideration for going back to Cata. Basically, play for 3 or 4 months. But I still don't like the idea of any of my info getting out.

Can't change your name, but you can turn off RealID for your account under Parental Controls.

Use RealID with people you know that already know your name, chances are they won't care. You can still add normal toons to your friends list, stop complaining. They are not invading your privacy if you give out your name.

That's what I was thinking on this. RealID for real friends, friends list for others.

Right now I'd say it's the sword + dagger set, or mace + dagger. in cata it depends. If assassination/subtlety leveling is good (keep in mind you'll get mutilate immediately upon going assassin and sub gets dagger-related passive damage buffs), dual daggers are a good choice.

Looking at the changes they made to stormstrike, I'm actually glad. Now they need to find a way to make it so flame shock is never worth using (or unlink shock cooldowns) so I don't feel like I have to choose between flame shock or earth shock to maximize dps.

I've been working on the Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest chain, and son of a bitch this thing is long and requires you to go into so many raids just for one item. I'm starting to wonder just what the hell I've gotten myself into.

It's sad when you remember how many servers lost out on that event because the asshole with the Scepter decided to bang the gong in either the middle of the day (when the majority of people are at either work or school) or at 3:00 am.

Yeah it was awesome, back in the olden days when I was a real raider. I was part of the top horde guild on the server and we knew the raiding schedule of the top alliance (and ice versa), it would usually take a good 30mins to an hour before any of us could actually raid due to the epic real world 40 vs 40 pvp.

On a side note, has anything been released about racials yet? I switched server/factions and my main is a male human which absolutely hate the animations but had given into the OP racials (especially for a holy priest). I am going to change it but want to wait until I hear the final racials for cat

don't expect much great stuff. They said they will do a pass on racials, but nothing as comprehensive as talents or glyphs or skills/spells.

I don't really understand the PURPOSE of it, given that you get regular Flying at the exact same level.

You can't even finish the chain anymore can you?

You do realize you have to actually give someone your email address and do a confirmation thing a la Facebook for Real ID to even matter, right? Just don't give out your email address to people you don't know.

The only people that can see your real name is Blizzard and they already know your name. (and, no, you can't change your name unless the account belongs to a parent and was purchased when you were a minor)

I assume it's just there because otherwise it was a bit tough to code an ability to fly in Azeroth based on if you had the Cataclysm expansion. This gives you a relatively cheap and easy way to toggle it.

Managed to finally get Kingslayer as well as Heroic Blood Council and Blood queen. Only 4 Heroics left for us I think

I've been gone for months so I'm so far behind only 2/4 T10 on my moonkin.

All I get is emblems and feral offspec gear in ICC now anyways. The 5th Twig dropped on LK again, but at least my bear tank has a good weapon now.

I leveled as mut when I got the ability. With dual heirloom daggers, I suggest doing combat till 60 then going mut from there on out because it will show the versatility of the class and you will have something to gauge what you want to spec at 80

I've completely lost interest in WOTLK gearing by now. My Warlock's at just below 5000 GS (or so I'm told because I refuse to use the addon) and I've hit the spot where I can't get upgrades from neither Triumph emblems nor Frozen Halls heroics, save for ONE pair of boots that drops in Pit of Saron heroic. That means I'm spending all my time waiting for queues to three instances and it's just not worth it. This would be the spot where I start raiding for real but since PUGs require obscene gear I'd have to join a guild and I can't make that commitment at the moment.

Will stay subscribed for the beta, but won't really play that too much either because I know I'll lose all my characters at launch. Would suck to level something 1-85 and have to repeat it.

That's the problem with PuGs and Gearscore, they tend to ask for far more than is needed.

Although I'd imagine you can get in on VoA/ToC/Ony PuGs for some items, I've rarely (if ever) seen gear score checks for those and doing the daily and weeklies you can get some frost emblems per week to buy the Frost Emblem gear.

I'm in the exact same spot as you on my warlock (my warrior is 5706 gs though) and I only need the boots from HC PoS. Cant commit myself to raiding anymore. Perhaps when the weather gets alot worse.....

Raiding is just a waste of time right now. I mostly play my alts for the casual 5 man daily and doing Northrend quests i've skipped while lvling them for more $$$. Or farming H Sethekk Halls with my druid for the Anzu's mount.

I don't feel like wasting 3-4 (frustrating & boring) hours a day for ICC when i will replace its purples by Cataclysm's blues soon.

I still want to kill the Lich King but I don't want to deal with the other bosses/trash anymore lol. I haven't done Ruby Sanctum yet either, so I want to give it a try soon.

I'm going to resub mainly to get ready for Cata. Farm some gold, fix up my off spec, and maybe try to get my old guild back together.

Oh yeah... i also need to give my Horde's alts some decent professions... when all 3 of them only have skinning, mining & herbalism, it's kinda stupid. At least my Alliance alts have gathering professions & stuff like Inscription, Jewelcrafting & Enchanting. :lol

Still have plenty of stuff to do outside of raiding for the next weeks i guess.

Yeah. Now that my guild has done the three main things I wanted to do before Cata (Kill LK, get Ulduar Drakes, get Starcaller) I'm far less interested in raiding on Saturdays...and I'm the raid leader! LotRO going free has me distracted even more.

I was considering coming back for a month, and just plugging through T9-T10 content to see it. I quit right before Uldar came out.

But I think I may just hold out till Cata. Can't say I like raiding much.

For what it's worth, Ulduar is the 2nd best raid instance in the game. AQ being #1 of course.

I still want my Ulduar drake and maybe Starcaller if we go there.

I'm still enjoying raiding, I kind of regret not raiding during BC and missing out on Sunwell, Black Temple and the like.

At least this time I got to see the 'end' of WOTLK.

My guild only raids 3 nights a week, and we usually start having attendance problems by the 2nd or 3rd night. People only want the easy loot. But for a change of pace, on the third night we went back to ulduar and did some hard modes. Blew through a lot of them pretty quickly and had to stop at Freya, because we ran out of time. Hopefully we'll finish them though. We've done rusted drake runs many times, but this would be the first time we've actually attempted the 25m hardmodes. The ironbound drake is such a good looking mount.

I got an email from blizz, hoping that it was the beta invite, only to see that they want me to buy the blizzcon virtual ticket.

What does a guy have to do to get into beta?
