Don't take my Voidwalker threat from me! >.<
I can finally level in peace without getting hit all the time.
I have a friend, that I originally introduced to TukUI, that discovered ElvUI and he can't use anything else now. I keep trying to love it, because it has almost everything built in, but I always come back to TukUI to reclaim the space. Maybe now is as good an excuse as any to try it out again.
The options are quite extensive, but don't be surprised if you have to dig into the LUA (or check the forums) for some things.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Does Blizzard have some guy out there who's in love with the stock UI? Because it's awful.
That could be the case now. I remember hearing that Bloodworms could pass as possible targets before, making a Blood DK susceptible to MC if you had the talent and were unlucky. Perhaps they didn't count as valid targets after all...but I have no idea for sure.
I hope so, sounds like things are in disarray right now.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Part of the pet death issue I realized last night is that, even if you take the new threatening presence off autocast, the presence itself still actually remains active on the pet until you turn it off by activating the ability again. I'm sure other people figured that out sooner than me, but for a dungeon run or two I was conufsed about why my new Wrathguard was dying despite the fact that I turned the autocast off. It's kind of weird to have a semi-permanent stance-type ability on autocast. Seems kind of redundant.
Blowing the minds of young kids, one Druid ride at a time.
It's pretty customizable now. I prefer it to Tuk simply because it's easier to set up if anything DOES go wrong, and the defaults are pretty close to how I like it. I used to use Tuk back in Wrath tho...

I dislike all-in-one UI packages. They aren't flexible enough. They do too many things, but not enough of them as well as standalone addons, and if you have anything else, it mucks it all up without having to do far too much tweaking in the settings turning stuff off. That and the skins for them are typically not very attractive.

How?
There's a new glyph for pickpocketing that turns you into the target that you pickpocketed for 5 minutes. Only works on Humanoids, obviously.
So rogues are going to pickpocket these giant ass mobs because it keeps you the same size.

In a week or two I might have a slot open if you're looking to spend ~30k on one ;p
Heh, just discovered it was in my inventory. Im just happy I have my amani war bear :3 Also got to heroic spine last night. Fights went so much faster, but dat new mana pool is making my brain hurt on mah priest.

I may be interested. 30k is pocket change with the amount I'll be raking in at the start of the expansion.
I wonder if I can get panda rep if I get exalted with all the main cities then start going for loremaster on my DK. Since Wrath Heroics give you full rep it should only take a few days of doing all of them to get exalted with the main cities. And then the quests will give Horde Reputation...hmm.

I'm trying out ElvUI. I've been rocking the default UI for quite a while now.
So I resubbed to check out this patch and holy shit at all the changes to everything. My Druid is a clusterfuck right now, that's like a day to re-bind everything. Anyway that's too hard basket right now.
Logged on my Mage and I'm loving these talents. The whole system I prefer to those old trees. Having ice barrier as a fire Mage is win.
Speaking of fire mages, the new play style is absolutely insane! It's the old one on steroids. It's so frigging quick and exciting with procs proccing off procs and all sorts of crazy shit, I love it!

Okay, I can't figure out how this is happening.
That's why I want to stay a Shaman but... yeah, think I might move on to a Monk
Ditto.
Ascendance is an amazing cooldown, but after playing a Brewmaster on beta, I'm in love.
Oh, and to my druid friends;
Stop with the suicide jumps with me on your back. It's not cool.

I was thinking about coming back to the game myself, I'd likely start another Mage. How well are you fairing in PvP as fire? Also, does anyone here play an affliction Warlock? That's what I played for most of Cataclysm and am wondering how they're doing post 5.0.4.

*at the moment.
It should balance out where it's intended to - at 90. The current clusterfuck is going to be due to pre-expansion growing pains. Besides, it's not like PvP right now is worth anything (besides giggles). Arena and Rated BG seasons are over, so the most you can do is cap your honor to get a (relatively minor) head start for Mists.
I'm going to remember that post, just in case my Resto Druid is still a God among lowly men at level 90. =P
I've heard those claims before, and they've been wrong more often than not in regards to Blizzard. They've never gotten PvP balance even remotely right once, so I don't expect them to now.
I must admit it's nice not having to worry about PvP exclusive talents anymore. I can simply carry the reagent to switch whenever I feel like it.

I'm not saying it definitely will be balanced at 90, but there's no way it's going to be balanced now. Just no way. It was the same with the 4.0 pre-Cata changes, and everything was out of whack.

I had 14 kills of Kael, all in Blood spec and I had never seen a despawn happen, even when using Gurthalak.

Can't decide what class I want to boost to 80...
Druid, Hunter, Rogue... maybe mage? Hmm.

Druuuuid. Because they're awesome and can do every role.
I have ALWAYS wanted a druid main. But I worry about not being able to play effectively after having been gone for a year. =P
Now that bearcatting is dead, there's not so much hybridization to worry about and learning one specific role will typically be good enough. But thanks to talents and the tweaks to a few spells that trigger shapeshifting, the option is still there if you want to delve into that.
It's a great time to be a druid.

Okay, so this is what I'm pretty sure is happening:
New druid glyph that turns you into a mountable stag, right? So they all turn into that, and mount each other in ascending order. Bam, tower of druids.
Mounting a druid cancels shapeshifting and you're not allowed to shapeshift while mounted.

Well then, they probably just carefully balanced themselves via flight form.

Dunno how I feel about the new talent system. It seems like simplified bullshit.
However, they're pretty much all legitimate choices now rather than 75% filler stuff that everyone ends up choosing anyways.

As a Werewolf, can you stay in Wolf form all the time? Do you ever HAVE to revert back to human form?
I love the werewolf models, can't stand human models..

Yeah you can stay in worgen form.
You only ever have to be a human for a short time in the starting zone. After that you get the Two Forms racial which you don't even need to put on your bars. Entering combat knocks you into Worgen form regardless.

Think I'm leaning toward Mage now, honestly.
I think I'd have more fun with it.

you can't put a price on sparks
yeah, pretty much.
just the way they designed the game its gotten to this point. it should have been like this in Cataclysm.
but at this point they cant really do much more without revamping the whole game. i actually like that they just give you what they want you to have since they basically forced you to take those talents anyway.
The last patch before an expansion = the best patch. I love the OP ridiculous buffs that happen for a month before you lose all those secondary statsHOLY SHIT. Dat shadow priest damage :3
I was only breaking 30-35k in my off spec set in heroics, with luck! Now Im pushing 42k+
So we figured out that instead of reforging all of my bear's gear to Dodge, it's much more effective to reforge to Mastery now. Pre-5.0.4, all it did was increase the amount of damage that Savage Defense absorbed. Now, it is a percentage armor increase, which makes it essential.
If this holds up, I can see tanking and catting it up in the same gear being much easier than it ever was before.
Also, Agility doesn't give you Dodge any longer (they already nerfed it so it doesn't give you extra armor).

Shaman talents are fucking boring.
I really wish Blizzard would revamp them. ESPECIALLY the third tier. Totemic Restoration is useless next to Call of Elements. However Call of Elements is pointless because the totems it effects only have minute-long CDs anyway. Also Totemic Projection is pretty stupid as a talent, and needs to be baseline. It's like making Trap Launcher a talent.
