The Earthquake glyph should be baseline, no doubt.
I don't think our main spell should be baseline castable while moving, I agree with the glyph.

I tried that, everything I tried came out looking like shit
anyway 75 on priest, still on course for hitting 85 before mist, will probably make this my primary alt in mop
Yeah I just leveled two disc priests with RAF (no heirlooms) and I would routinely be #1 and #2 damage unless there was a lot of AoE. Penance is just ridiculous right now
It's also absolutely amazing with the glyph that lets you cast it while moving, and the holy fire glyph that makes that spell instant
The new lighting system makes a lot of things darker. That one character select screen looks a bit strange yes.. but the game looks 1000x better overall with it on. I can't go back anymore.
I completely missed the new Glyph of Penance. Time to snag it!
With Chain Lightning the way it is I never use EQ.
Ooh, I think I'm gonna dual box/RAF Priests then!
It's really fun, disc does enough damage now that you aren't bringing down the group either. Unfortunately no atonement until level 60 now, so you do have to bubble and heal the tank a little bit
Man, Blizz really don't know what the hell they did with the argent tournament status after faction xfers (account wide achievement features have really screwed it up). I unlocked the Crusader title before a faction change, still have it due to xfeature achievement, but I can't unlock the dragon daily which is the easiest one qq.
This will never stop being true.
There was discussion about doing something about the exponential increases in power every expansion a year ago, but nothing came of it. The power increase will be about the same as all the previous expansions.
That sounds AMAZING.

Well the anniversary of the Blood Plague incident was just a few days ago...
Interesting. From researching it, it looks like it's in the same vein of bugs as the Frost mage macros that could kill friendly NPCs.
I don't know how to do it personally, but I read about it

Yeah, it's ravaging my server right now too. *chuckles* Couple of my guildies got in on it.
I think it's just something as simple as "/cast Frost fever"

yep and /cast Blood Plague
Tried it on a few NPCs, they died lol
But then I get a system message saying 'You have unlearned Blood Plague/Frost Fever'

lol I guess they did it until they could hotfix it. LAME.
So now I have a geared Guardian Druid at 85 and a Protection Paladin that just hit 85 today. Pondering what to do with the Paladin. I loved Prot when leveling up, but since 5.0.4, the Druid is just so much more fun to play. It just feels like I'm fumbling with buttons all the time on my Paladin now that the cooldowns are so long, and positioning is, as always, a giant pain. (I accept that threat is a problem since I'm ungeared and playing with epic geared 85's.)
Since I am enjoying the bear much more than the Paladin when tanking, and I hate the way Retribution plays, I feel kind of stuck. It's kind of compounded by the fact that my partner doesn't seem to know what to do in MoP.. he has a Druid, a Priest, a Paladin, and a Mage all at 85, and a Rogue, Hunter, Warrior, Shaman, and Warlock between 80 and 84. He has massive experience and could do anything, but doesn't seem to be committing. Most of the time he's on his Shaman or Priest healing me through dungeons, since we get instant queue pops 24 hours a day, but I have no idea if that's what he intends to keep doing when MoP lands. Neither of us are going to go crazy looking for realm first achievements or anything.. just looking to have the best experience with the new expansion.

Elemental is terrible and Entropia needs to quit preaching that it *could* be good at 90. It's in dire need of reworking / buffing!
This thread, some real mindblowers.

Actually, Entropia should continue to preach that it could be good at 90. Blizzard has stated repeatedly that all classes are balanced around level 90 now and that any buff/nerf requests are going to be ignored at 85. As glum as you are about this spec, you truly are going to have to wait until 90 to see just how good it is.

I have some antivirus concerns, directly related to World of Warcraft, and I'm hoping to get som advice. The deal is that I currently have no antivirus solution (my subscription for Norton 360 expired some time ago) and I lack money to purchase a new one like Norton or NOD32. At least I won't be able to purchase any of those programs until November this year. I do have enough money to purchase Mists of Pandaria, and I want to be able to play that game without fear of having my account hacked etc.
I will be more than satisfied to exclusively play World of Warcraft on my Windows 7 computer, I don't need to access any web pages or other games over the internet and I have no desire to transfer any decadent imagery or video to my computer. Content I disabled through Internet Options include all cookies, images, video, sound, ActiveX controllers and some other things. If I install let's say Microsoft Security Essentials until I can get hold of a better solution, will that and the configurations I have done be enough to keep my Battle.net account safe, or can more be done? I don't have access to reinstall Windows, so if a virus gets in and starts messings things up, I might be without a computer to play World of Warcraft on (my Mac mini computer is no longer compatible with the game). Any help is appreciated.
Note: Computer security isn't my area of expertise, so I acknowledge my message may appear a bit too cautious.

IT Professional here. Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is an excellent AV solution and you should rest assured with that scanning your machine. I wouldn't worry about a "better solution," because we'd be splitting hairs then.Rösti;42154949 said:
Another excellent free AV software program is MalwareBytes. It isn't an active solution (it doesn't constantly scan your machine), but manually running weekly scans will catch damned near anything MSE can't handle or missed.

Thank you very much. Seems I'll be playing Mists of Pandaria come the 25th then.

I'm going to chime in and confirm what DJ said is good advice. You could get adblock for your browser as well (of course put GAF and other sites you trust on whitelist).
Also, do you have a Battle.net authenticator? It's a really good extra layer of security, it's *almost* impossible to get hacked with one enabled. You can get a dongle for $5, or a free app for a smartphone.
They also have a phone service that you call in that isn't as good, but it's something.
Oh wow, that is simple. I wonder if they take any action on people griefing with it
The level 90 talents are all straight dps increases, the 87 ability is an outrageously powerful cooldown, and it's still the most mobile spec in the entire game. Chillax, bro.

omg @ the warlock tank glyph. So awesome
Unfortunately, MoP raids won't be available cross-realm on day 1, so you'll have to stick to old content until T15 lands.

Couple people in my guild would hate you right now. We run BT pretty regularly for that and have yet to see it drop. *chuckles* Grats though!

So... uh.... is anyone else like, poor in real life, and make a lot of gold in WoW/professions, and feel good about it?
I've been looking for part-time work for the 8 weeks now and I'm completely out of luck. Doesn't help that I moved to Sydney [overpriced - exaggerated - worth my asshole's content's]. Seriously, dunno if I want to stay here.
'No asshole, your 'beached as' accent is the one with the accent, not me.' Fucking moron.
Yeah I'm mad tonight, sue me.

I use Warcraft as an outlet for spending when I'm depressed. Safer for my real bank account that way because while I'm not exactly poor, I shouldn't be spending frivolously or I'll find my way there really fast.

So it looks like you need an ilevel of 353 to do the Theramore event. I'm going to have to gear up some of my alts if I want to run them all through it

Yeah...
My DK should be fine, and maybe my shaman (I could gear him up quick), but I think my warrior may be fucked since he was still in half quest greens/blues. Druid I would have to level one or two levels.
Lmfao. Holy shit, I had the exact same realization about the disarm icon a few months ago. Haha.
