Only one here I would add an extra note about is Yorsahj, for 25 if you do a combo with Black/Yellow in it I think Assassination's AoE might be better than Blade Flurry. Unfortunately we haven't downed that one yet, but our Rogue who was playing Assassination beat me and the other Combat Rogue on add damage during our attempts. For 10s I would definitely say Combat for sure on Yorsahj.
Again I was simply posting the optimal for actual success, typically people run blade flurry combat rogues who can beat down the mana voids AND yorsahj while ignoring oozes, the AE is the easy part in reality.
If you're talking about padding...combat wins basically every fight except for spine then.
Yes guys it's alright, I play a raiding rogue and I'm aware that combat rogues are on average the highest dps spec.
What I mean is that the "flavour" of the spec is seriously boring. Lots of auto attacks, sinister strike etc. Pre-Cata they wanted rogues to rely less on active cooldowns (so they gave us another CD, lol) and they also described combat rogues as the "scoundrel" type fighter - the one that fights other classes head on. Following this design intent I think it'd make more sense to give rogues some passive survivability with a lot of consolidated defensive ability within the combat spec - so combat CAN fight plate classes straight up. It also adds more flavour to the trinity. Perhaps Off tanks can tank dungeons with a very good healer etc.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm no master rogue, so I tend to die all the time and feel like I'm a glass cannon that has to stand in a place where I take a lot of damage.
It's probably likely I just don't know shit about the class; i.e. it took me like 8 attempts to even kill Hiram Creed :lol In all fairness, I only started playing on a rogue like 2 weeks ago and it was my wife's old character that was already level 80 when I transferred it over to my account.
If you're taking a lot of cleave damage, Feint is seriously your best friend. Learn when you can abuse it (it's seriously so strong). There's also CloS for big incoming magic damage. If you feel like a boss you can also vanish big instant damage nukes.
Anyway, I'm more targetting the fact how boring combat rogues seem. I think making them offtankish would give them more flavour - a swashbuckling class that can face off against a warrior yea!
I started when WoW came out.
Also..what can we do with our copied 85s? Can we actually get to 90? What can we que for?

i think level cap is 86 or 87 right now
you can do temple of the jade serpent and the new zone, jade forest
and panda starting zone
A few months after launch. But I have an unfair advantage since a good friend of mine is working at Blizzard.
lol I don't meet requirements for the new instances!

lol...thats another player I am on:
god damn ive been waiting forEVER for this... someone to ride my druid
i need this nao
Funny how things change, seeing Sub listed as a solid single target DPS spec makes me :O
I played a Rogue for 5 years, raided for 3 of those (Vanilla, TBC and some of Wrath) and for the last 2 of those Assassination was the go to spec for both PVP and PVE, Mutigreat we used to call it. Combat was the safer spec and the one many used but Muti really shone if you nailed the cycle and kept poisons stacked.
It was also easily the most fun, sub was great when all your CD's were up but Muti just felt solid, watching you stack 2-3 combo points in one crit and using finishers every other shot ftw.
Edit: and yes, I had been saying that for years, that Combat should be a Rogue tank spec, but maybe leaning to off-tank, they should also have added in things like "Influences" that buff the partys crit rate or Agi etc... Rogues seriously need group utility as in 5 mans taking a Rogue over a Mage used to be seen as desperation. Of course I am way out of the loop these days.
Pandas are badass.
Not sure on the Monk yet on the other end. Mostly because I have no idea how well the animations will work with the other races. Tried an Undead Monk and he has no real roll yet.

hmm guess youre right..
esp since monks are tri-role...
it would be funny to have a 5-man panda/monk dungeon
Has anyone transferred their Hunter to the beta? I haven't kept up with everything in MoP, but when I transferred mine, my pets no longer have a talent tree, but the npc to reset them still exists, did they remove pet talent trees? Also, my first five stable slots are showing empty on beta when they shouldn't be, and can't be used either, anyone else run into that?

Are you sure you're queueing for a random pandaria dungeon and not a scenario?
a boosted 80 gets 232 gear, lol

So i started playing again after having not played since Cata launch.
I stopped after having quested through the zones and dinged 85.
I am a prot warrior in quest greens. Lots of things have changed since I last played.
What is the progression for me forward? Dungeons -> Heroic Dungeons?

Do you need to play a character to reserve a name or is creating a character enough?
Want to know for the pandapack
Just creating is generally good enough, unless it's for a few years and someone petitions for it.
Cataclysm randoms until 329ish ilevel -> Cataclysm heroics until 353ish ilvl -> Hour of Twilight heroics until 372 ilvl -> Looking For Raid
buying Valor and Justice gear will help a ton in reaching these gear level caps. hope this helps.

Blizzard's always done that.
With the sole exception of D1/D2 which were done by Blizz North, and you can see they wanted a stylized art direction for D3. If you play 'em now, D1/D2 hold up pretty poorly in the graphics department compared to some of their other stuff. D1 came out after Warcraft 2 yet looks a lot worse, though obviously both look dated as shit.

apparently priests take a long time to level. so if your goal is to skip the levelling, go with that.

Priests are quite awesome. They also don't take particularly long to level, I don't know where you heard that. That hasn't been true since the 4.0 talent revamp (and maybe earlier, I leveled mine in 2005 when it WAS slow as shit).
80-85 will be just as fast with priest as with pally or lock, as far as I can tell.

Remember when the fastest way to level was pick up wand spec and rely on wands, bubble, and SW
. So much fun!
