Jade Spirit too expensive for me right now, so it's between EF and WS.
Hm, I don't know, people tell me Windsong is good for classes with dots, but Elemental Force also procs a lot due to dots too. What is a frost mage to do

The guides at Icy Vein put intellect higher than secondary stats. I'm not sure how accurate that actually is, given the same guides put dodge rating fairly high for Guardian too. Assuming it's right, Elemental Force would be the better choice.
Ha, same.I got 2 stacks waiting in bank + 1 other in my bag that just reached the 180 stack. At least once im done with dailies, i'll have enough silver coins to turn into gold coins for months.
I was sad when they didn't add anything else to spend coins on (I was hoping for rep badges or something). I would at least have liked it for them to put the stupid things on the currency page instead of making them a stacked item.
I've been pacing the dailies, only seriously doing Tillers+Cloud Serpent+Klaxxi until I started Golden Lotus this week. I also leveled my Monk from 1 so I started all of them later than most, and I still have a third stack of coins started. I'm going to eventually do all of the rep factions as I complete the current ones I am on, time permitting, but it's going to suck to see how many slots the coins take up by the time I am done. ~_~
I know that feel. Also, yes Elegon, he's not terrible bad, but man, you have to be on the money in execution. We've worked 3ish hours on em. Hopefully we get em this next week
Added you. Thanks!

Something I can't find a straight answer on but maybe someone on here knows... I discovered the Worgen have a raven they can buy as a companion pet. If I level a Worgen, get it, learn it, then delete the character... will I still have it on my Horde characters?

Did they remove getting XP from BGs? I don't think I'm getting any, or maybe I don't notice.

Last night we one shotted the 2 nd boss. After that we changed one raid member for another guild member and wiped on the third. We changed them back again and one shotted him. What a difference one person can make.
You certainly get it if you win the BG. AV can give you up to 2M xp at 89 if its the bg of the day and you win it.
That might be the first Blizzard Store purchaseable mount I get. It's just weird enough to pique my interest.
Guardian is cake. You have a brainless basic rotation that you will do in your sleep, you put debuffs on everything effortlessly, Barkskin has a 1 minute cooldown, and the glyphed Frenzied Regeneration makes it stupidly easy for healers to keep you up in high-damage phases. It's got to be the easiest tank to play.
Feral isn't actually that bad to play, but I defy anyone to keep track of everything that's going on without something like Cat's Eye (which displays your combo points, buffs, and debuffs together in a compact format). If you do use a mod like that, and use Glyph of Shred to make the positional issues more forgiving, then everything becomes a lot easier. The only thing that feels a bit clunky is throwing in a Healing Touch to make your next two hits bigger with Dream of Cenarius, but Predatory Swiftness makes it easy to do. Besides, Feral isn't GCD locked unless Berserk is active anyway, so taking the time out for the heal is actually more suitable for Feral than Balance or Guardian, which are GCD locked all the time.

Dinged 60 on Priest. Definitely the highest level Priest I've ever had. She'll be in the freezer for a bit though while I work my Mage and Rogue up there. Outland should be pretty breezy - the Priest was already 60.5 by the time I stopped playing since I had about 1/4 a level overspill from the Battleground that dinged me, and I wanted to wrap up a few quests I was in the middle of in Hellfire Peninsula.
My policy of deliberately dragging my guild along to LFRs paid off when we finally did the second part to fill in time; no wipes on Elegon. A couple on the Will, though, we had to juggle a couple of strategies.
Using the word 'juggle' reminded me of something. I recently wrote, regarding Stone Guard:
"As a tank it's very hard for me to call when to burst the blues and break the chains (and yes, I've started picking up fight-specific lingo!) while still juggling the dogs."
and then it struck me that, viewed out of context, that sentence is *awesome*. I love it whenever I say something that to me makes perfect sense yet also makes my housemate give me a *very* quizzical look.
Taunt regularly. While the boss is fixated means you won't take him on a permanent basis, and it'll still give you a healthy chunk of threat and vengeance.
I'm in that curious situation when tanking where I note that my offtank is dying more frequently than I am but I'm not clear if that's because he's playing worse, if it's because he's worse geared, or if it's because I'm the guild and raid leader as well as the nominal MT so healers are healing me by default, which doesn't really apply for many fights!
I haven't been that lucky in one week since wrath of the lich king, damn.

What now?
Ugh, trying to compare Paladin versus Warrior tanks and the gearing requirements of both...makes it difficult, man
Just pick one. Can't go wrong either.
How does one actually research gear? WoW history I just took whatever came my way.
For those EU folks out there, the Battle Chest is on sale for £4.00.

Yep! Because this is exactly what I did.
Depends what you mean "research"?
The easiest thing to do is to take a look at the loot tables for bosses in the Dungeon Journal. Blizzard made it much more convenient by adding in the Filter by class -> spec.

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?
Hahaha!
Just got exalted today with them. Another 2 days for golden lotus and I can say goodbye to some of the worst rep grinds I've done so far.
Not sure if they nerfed shado-pan, or what the deal is, but I swear I was getting more than 900 rep per day. At this rate, it's going to take 3-4 more weeks for this grind, ugh. Those Protector Yi/Chao the Voice daily quests are so bad, bastards run around and aggro everything, takes forever to get out of combat. I've stopped picking either of the companions for that set and just turn the quests in to other people's companions.
You probably can?
I know you can get up on the wall if you head towards the Shado-Pan flight point in Kun-Lai, since it's on top of the wall, and you just walk up there. From there, you could mount up and run the length of the wall.

Isn't it active 100% of the time? You just need to go slightly north from the firebomb-place? I've gotten it like 5 times in a row (Mal'Ganis).
I suppose I can always do it to break up the monotony, even if I don't have the daily for it. I've only gotten it once (Ghostlands).

lol wut? Guardians are amazing, and feral is one of the highest parsing dps specs
Yeah. I've been DK tanking throughout Cata and it's so much more interesting than Warrior/Pally/Bear tanking because of the interesting choices (mitigation vs damage vs control) that you have to do with limited buttons. I've tried all the tanking classes and the DK is by far my favorite. I'm leveling a Monk and I'm super interested in seeing how they tank a high level, because it sounds like it's somewhat a reverse DK - instead of spending runes to gain runic, you spend energy to gain chi so it's a bit different in how it handles resource management yet still keeps the active mitigation and the interesting choices there.
I'm just worried about the "too many buttons" syndrome that Warriors have, for example. I like DKs because in every situation, I need the following buttons:
1- Macro for diseases (basically, a /castsequence that resets every minute with a bunch of Icy Touches and Plague Strikes)
2- Death Strike
3- Heart Strike
4- Rune Strike
5- Taunt
6- Death Grip
7- Blood Boil
8- Death and Decay
8 abilities, all mapped to 1-4 and alt 1-4, and I'm done. The priority is simple and lets you focus on mitigation at the appropriate times without being bogged down with the resource system - you basically only use diseases once, then Death Strike + Heart Strike + Rune Strike + Blood Boil super often.

Excellent! I was hoping someone on here had and could confirm it. I suspected you could but I wanted to make sure.
Pandas too. Looks like I'm going to level at least three new characters. Never got around to starting a Goblin either.

The only August Celestial dailies I'm enjoying are the ones in Kun-Lai
Niuzao temple dailies are horrible.
I don't enjoy the torch daily at kun-lai but yeah they're fun.
Crane temple dailies aren't too bad but getting no money from the mobs you have to kill kinda blows.
If the Jade temple dailies weren't so buggy they'd probably be the breeziest.

You can't be enjoying The Torch of Strenght (unless you cheese it by going on the left side of the left railchain). This is a terrible quest, especially if you play from Europe.
