Guys I haven't played for a while but got the damn itch back after D3 got boring.
Thing is. I have a druid lvl 80 and a rogue lvl 74. I dont enjoy healing or tanking but only dps and pvp. Needless to say I suck at both mostly because of bad gear.
So in short which of these two classes is least gear dependant? Oh and while I'm at it I have a 70 hunter that could possibly be an option.

From new strings added to the client, it appears that there will be a Collector's Edition Mount in addition to the usual pet(s) for Mists.
Also, I'd wager that the Wrathion Legendary stuff is to give you that item, which can then be used to make any weapon have Legendary properties - so basically giving every class/spec the opportunity for a Legendary this first tier. It might not be as good as a normal Legendary, but it still seems pretty cool. Especially since one of the options seems to be for a shield. I don't know how'd they'd handle it for DK/Druid tanks though (Monk tanks as well?)

Pandaria partyin' like it's 2003 up in this bitch.
I say take the Druid to 85. You can't match their versatility.

Druid/Monk would be a legendary Agi staff most likely. That'd work for tanks too.

Yes it is. I'm guessing this change in appearance happens during the Theramore scenario.
jesus, it was supposed to be an april fool's joke!

Modesty becomes a woman
Probably just the same way Shadowmourne was best for DK tanks as well, whatever weapon a tank uses will probably be the best for them.

No joke. I do that right after my guild raid ends and I'm looking at around 4 straight months of doing that f'ing mob.
Raven Lord took a month or so. I got lucky on the Swift White and got that my first try; same with the Blue Proto Drake.
I guess I used up all my karma.

Grats. I'm at 52 kills so far. I wish I could still farm the Raptor and Tiger bosses in old ZG. I started doing that way too late, and eventually ZG was removed. Boo. Haven't messed with Kara in a while. I might start that back up.
That's random. I got the blue proto drake on one of my first runs. Can't remember if it was the very first or not, though. Did it with people in my guild and I won the roll even though I rarely win rolls.
I meant to say Anticipation in my original post oops.
Shuriken Toss - as was previously said, there's usually something for melee to do during any air phases like Onyxia. The damage is so low however that it might as well be useless and it forces you to take deadly throw in the third tier (i'm at work so I can't check) to make it worthwhile.
Versatility - this is situational and my issue with it is that pretty much every other class that has some form of combo points (paladins, monks) can switch over and keep whatever charges they've built up baseline without needing a talent to do so.
Anticipation - this is nice and has uses in both pvp and pve.
Those are my issues with the 90 talents. And on a side note, their responses to the rogue issues yesterday basically confirmed what everyone more or less suspected; their aren't going to be any other changes or fixes to our problems despite the numerous threads detailing the exact problems in the beta class forum.

Try being a DK where all the talents do nothing in PVE
Eh, the talents will probably be reallllly good in challenge modes, will suck in traditional tank and spec, but who cares really.

I've never even bothered with that one as it's so similar to the DK mount. I may have a go at it sometime though - I need the Karazhan raid rep.
I've never seen a Blue Proto drop (I don't think) despite doing many runs of UP in Wrath. Not that I was trying every day for it, but the amount of runs over the course of the expansion adds up (at least 20-30+). I've only done Magister's Terrace a handful of times, more hoping for the phoenix pet than the mount (not a huge fan of hawkstriders except for the humor value, being a Tauren). I'll have to tackle it some more though when I start up again - there's also that item that turns you into a Blood Elf in there.
Yeah, I've only done Kara solo a few times, so I haven't seen it really drop. I keep thinking I see people with it only to find it's the Headless Horseman mount (they look pretty similar). It's easy enough to farm for at least, though I don't have much reason to do Kara too much (maxed rep and got most everything good out of there except Sunfury and Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle).
I've done Magister's Terrace quite a bit and gotten all of the goodies out of there except the mount. At least it supposedly has a better drop rate than other dungeon mounts. I'll probably keep running it since it's decent money and I'm almost exalted with the Shattered Sun faction. Not a huge priority for me though.
I may start doing UP for the Blue Proto, but I've only done the place once before. Also, it's a pain to fly to there from Dalaran.
May start working on getting the Tol Borad dragon or doing the Argent Dailies (really debating about doing those...I'm not going for all the mounts anyways, just most of the achievements)

When do you guys think Blizzard will announce the MoP Collector's Edition content?

I have my doubts anyone will care about Challenge Modes and a lot of people already care about the DK talents.
Likely after the beta is finished.

How close is it to being finished?

Months.
Though not official announced, this was recently datamined from a new beta patch.
[PH] Collector's Edition: : Owner of the Mists of Pandaria Collector's Edition Imperial Quilen mount.

MOP isn't going to be out any earlier than any other WoW expansion. Putting out open access on the beta for money was fucking brilliant since they can practically leave the live realms to rot and nobody even cares since the people who actively bitch are the people who already paid to play the beta.

It's on beta.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Perfect! Thanks!

How can I get my Mini-Thor pet on newer characters?
When I create a new character it doesn't have all my account goodies sitting in the mailbox...

That's strange that they don't show up in the mail. Everything shows up fine for me when I create a new character.
Try sending a GM ticket and see if they can send you that stuff.
I'm not sure why Blizzard thinks its alright to leave the live realms with no new content for nearly a year before releasing an expansion. They did the same shit with the end of WOTLK and they'll probably do the same thing with MoP. Way to get your players bored Blizz!

Because it clearly is alright.

I just wish they would start consolidating the servers. My server sucks; the AH is a ghost town - nobody ever buys my shit and prices are ridiculous for even common items...I shouldn't have to pay $25 per toon just to get to a server with some actual players on it.
And no, the mixed zone thing they're planning doesn't count.
And no, the mixed zone thing they're planning doesn't count.
The vocal minority that would have complained have either been playing on beta, or quit after the year long wait during Wotlk. The server ... i forgot what they called it blending?, is a much more elegant way of handling server's merging than for say ... what's going on with Old Republic.
Casuals whined too much about Burning Crusade's model, despite the fact that it gave uninterrupted content for any average guild for the ENTIRE expansion. The very top guilds sat too long on Black Temple, so they should've staggered T5/T6 zones a TAD more, but otherwise any guild below like, top 50 US, basically NEVER exhausted their content that xpac. It was beautiful. Idiots whined about it and now we're stuck with this wrath/Cata babymode content release cycle where everyone is shuffled through everything immediately and we're stuck waiting eons for the next hit.
Pretty much.
I loved that in BC you could move on when you were ready to move on, not when Blizzard gave you the content to move onto.
Most people I know are either: taking a break, playing beta, or playing diablo.
It does kind of suck, but low activity on our server helped me win the fishing tournament last weekend, so that was cool
You love trading? What do you mean, like gear trading in Diablo? A lot of loot in WoW is soulbound so you can't trade it once you get it, if that is what you are getting at.

Trading in WoW ain't about gear for the most part, it's about flipping rare mounts and TCG stuff and crafting/gathering mats.

Most casuals don't have the patience to bang their heads against a progression wall for months to move on. Most casuals didn't even raid in BC beyond dipping their toes into Kara (if that). I know I stopped playing BC as a casual after doing Kara like 4 times which was already by my standards a pain in the ass thanks to the keying process.
I mean I don't stick around any longer nowadays, but I enjoy it more because I see all the content, so I'm more willing to resub per patch.
Or are playing D3. That's what I'm doing, and I don't feel bad because that game came with my year long sub.
It was a pretty genius move. They got about the same amount of money out of me as they would have without it, but they get to say I'm subbed all year long and sell me cosmetic stuff.
