What are they removing? Is there anything notable that will get removed soon so I should sub and do it or just keep waiting for patch?
Alex said:
I'm pretty sure you can do the Gnomeregan/Echo Isles pre-Cata events as a low lvl. Well, except the final quest where you follow the leader. You need to be lvl 75 for the final quest i believe.
So hurry up, make a lvl 1 horde, get him to lvl 5-6 with the beginner quests, and go to Senjin Village! At least you'll be able to see almost everything and get the awesome troll costume.

Blizz on threat (from mmo-champion)
Ok, that makes sense. So the 200% isn't excessive, it's just a natrual progression of the scaling given how dps has changed.

So I started my Death Knight on Saturday and he's at level 62 now. I guess I'm well on my way to 80 by December 7th. Do the heirloom items that give 10% XP stack? So with shoulders and chest piece I would get 20%?

And with Ring 5%
Gl getting that~
Anyone else think Raid Rage Quitting / Ninja Logging is going to be horrible once the new lockout system is implemented? Without wasting a lockout being a deterrent now, I can see people attending for a single boss and then leaving right after.
See Physical DPS ninja logging after Saurfang because of no DBW.

Tried out Deepholm last night. Pretty nice looking area, reminds me a bit of Netherstorm. Big, cratered area that would probably be pretty good for PvP if you're into it. I think the quests lead to Stonecore, so I'll try that out tonight hopefully
Plus there's a giant elite who stomps around. He doesn't have any stomping/moving sounds yet, so I found myself getting annihilated a couple times. Hilarious, reminded me of old times lol

There was suppose to be a cap on how many valor points you can get per week. Unless their plans have changed, the way they were talking before was 25's would basically hit the cap just raiding if they wanted to, then the people doing 10's would need to do daily heroics to match it. Hopefully it stays that way but who knows, I haven't kept up with much of the beta because I don't care for the direction my class has went (DK tank).

Boy am I glad that I stockpiled emblems for the last couple of weeks. I was able to get both pieces of armor, the 2-hander and the haste trinket. As soon as I saw that Bashiok quote confirming the increased heirloom cost, I went straight to the vendor and didn't waste time throwing down my emblems.
So now I'm sitting with 83 frost emblems left. I'm just gonna let them convert over to justice points I guess. I could get the other trinket but it's not really necessary. I could buy a nice belt, but what's the point?
I'm going to focus on helping an old friend farm as many emblems as he can so he can join me in leveling through Cata with heirlooms as well. I think we're going to put in some major hours this weekend. I think he's only got 67 emblems total so we have a bit of work ahead of us. (fake edit: Our 80s are both DPS. Queue times suck!)

Man, PVP is going to be such a mess when this patch launches. And they'll just sit back and laugh. If they nerf all damage in bg's and arenas across the boards come 4.0.1, this will also nerf the damage that the classes that need help do as well, not fixing the problem at all.
Oh well, time for me to fire up my Mage and Lock and have fun for a month 2-3 shotting people at will.

Didn't Blizz say they had no interest in balancing PvP around level 80 for this new stuff?

"The current cost of 1-80 heirlooms on the PTR is much higher then it should be. Teir 10-251 gear costs 695/1100 JP, whereas the heirlooms cost 2700/3500 JP. "
Duno if that means much but I had like 140 badges stocked up so bough the leather vest /2h mace for my eventual druid and need WG to get the shoulders.
If I feel like going WAR I have the two plate bits anyways
I think this weekend i'll buy all the weapons heirlooms i can before the patch goes live and the price gets too ridiculous. I don't give a damn about the chest & shoulder with +10% XP. Who would want to lvl too fast in the new zones and miss some of these cool new quests?
Sure, i could buy them for when i hit Outland & Northrend, but whatever. :lol

They said they would put a temporary fix in there if it were out of control. So count on that happening if PTR is any indication of this, as ranged are just blowing melee the hell up. It's not like before where just Ret was out of control, now you have nearly every ranged class just 2-3 shotting people.
And as many know, if something is out of control blowing people up at 80, most likely things won't change at 85. Wrath Ret is just one example. It's funny because GC will say, "some classes just don't have their abilities yet, so they're at a disadvantage!", yet he himself doesn't seem to realize that the classes that are OP, they're getting new spells as well as they level. :lol

This is why I got the +XP heirlooms. The weapon ones are sweet too. It'll save me a lot of hassle when leveling my Warrior.Bisnic said:

Lvling is part of the fun of WoW. There is no fun in doing lvl 25 quests you have missed when you are lvl 85. If i lvl so fast with +20% XP that i skip 25% of the new quests because of it, i'll hate myself for that.
Not to mention, they did everything to make lvling more fun. Spells that adjust with your lvl instead of waiting for new ranks, better talents, better zones, better quests, awesome skill at lvl 10 instead of lvl 40-60. And so on. Did you skip all the low lvl stuff while looking at Cataclysm previews?
Beside, it sucks to have the same chest/shoulder for 80 lvls. I've been seeing them for nearly 2 years and im fucking tired of seeing them. :lol Bring on the new heirlooms.

I agree with Bisnic. Blizz has said they've done a lot to improve leveling and the quests and events that are shown from 1-60. I don't want to miss a single second of those experiences because I'm overleveled for the area.
The +XP will come in handy for the Outland/Northrend content though.

Anyone know if in patch 4.0.1, they will finally get rid of weapon skills? Or is that 4.0.3?
My fresh lvl 80 prot warrior will probably get the 219 tanking mace from reg FOS pretty soon, but he has 1/400 in mace skill! If the patch really come this tuesday, i'll just leave that mace in the bank until then and keep using my blue sword, rather than go and hit 800 boars until i get to 400 mace skill.

Some thoughts on Combat Rogues in 4.01. I've been hitting the dummies and reforging and trying some of the things the EJ guys are saying.
- Assassination is ahead of Combat on the dummies by maybe 300 DPS. Even with throwing rupture into Assassination's rotation, it still feels like an easy and kind of boring rotation compared to Combat. It feels like the Rogues' BC Beast Mastery spec and I don't get why it gets so much DPS. There, I said it.
- Rupture > Eviscerate seems to be the way to go for Combat. Which I don't get since we don't have any talents that buff rupture but, a few that buff Eviscerate.
- Revealing Strike is definitely a DPS increase when doing rupture AND eviscerate. I try to get it in pretty early in the rotation so that if the glyph of SS procs, I don't end up with too many combo points. Waiting until 4 CB points seems like a dumb idea considering that Ruthlessness, the SS glyph, and the 4 piece T10 bonus could have you at 5 combo points and never being at 4.
- Glyphs of Adrenaline Rush, Sinister Strike, and Rupture seem to be the most DPS. The glyph of Killing Spree no longer reduces the cooldown and seems to be a few hundred DPS behind using the AR glyph.
- Mastery really sucks for combat. I reforged a bunch of crit into Mastery and my DPS dropped by like 600. I recommend reforging all that extra crit into haste.
- Not Combat Specific but, I easily got Expertise and poison hit cap with no Expertise gems and 1 agi + hit gem and Icewalker by reforging only 4 pieces and kept my 4 piece T10. Actually, I probably don't even need Icewalker and the hit gem to get poison hit cap.
