Sooooo, I never saw a 5 Determination stack and killed garrosh without blood lust.

Cata leveling is almost a joke now.
Do dungeon quests with some questing here and there, and it'll go by quickly.
These guys should be tameable
I still want tameable Pterodactyls and Cloud Serpents.
(Several mobs use them as pets!)
Man, im scared to play knowing NSA is watching.
Why? Do you sell drugs or plot to overthrow the government in game chat?
On the other hand... some LFR players are willing to stand on fire and other dangerous crap that is pretty much suicide that will endanger the good function and success of a group. Exactly what terrorists want.
I'm beginning to see the full picture now. Damn terrorists are smarter than we thought.

I feel your pain. Just keep asking on trade chat, and your time will come
Or openraid chat, it would reach more bodies.

You two could like... battletag buddy it up ;P
Well I'm surprised that Moon Guard is still going then.
I don't.
Frankly, I keep forgetting to buy the Egg that has it.
I just found out the other night it actually shows up on the Black Market.
I had a pretty good laugh about that for a bit.
It's basically hit part 2. It definitely wasn't in WOTLK. I know for DKs it raises shadow damage.
It's something that was new with Cataclysm. Each spec uses it to supplement their playstyle differently. Shadow Priests get a chance to do double dmg with DOTs, Windwalker monks get increased chance to generate Tigereye Brews, Prot Pallies get increased defensive stuff, that kind of thing.

Actually I'm pretty sure it was introduced in the really late in Wrath, 4.0 patch or something before Cata actually released. You could reforge to it (which was also new at the time), but it wasn't available natively on gear.
And speaking of mastery, I can't for the life of me figure out where they put that tab that tells you what it does for each spec.

In other news, my DK is finally geared enough for SoO. Still have a blue heroic weapon, but epic everything else. I'm lazy and none of it's gemmed or enchanted (aside from rings) since I figure I'll be replacing most of it in short order anyway. So no reason to drop a couple thousand gold on that. Last slot I got a Shado-Pan assault trinket for something like 1100 Valor to push me over the top. Replaced the ghost iron dragonling trinket that I've had since I hit 90. Will probably get replaced, but I figure it was worth the cost to get me into SoO now rather than waiting on weapon/s or a trinket drop (which are always highly coveted). Warrior is maybe 2/3s decked in Timeless Isle stuff, but I really need to relearn him, especially since I've hardly spent any time as DPS with Warriors, particularly Fury spec.
Haven't done anything with Priest, Rogue, Mage yet. One of them I'm probably capping at 80 to work on Herald of the Titans, but I need to relearn all of them as well. Priest isn't too bad, but Rogue is it's own can of worms, getting the extra stealth action bars setup + Nug Combo Bar. Probably best if I try to just stick to one spec while re-acclimating.
And I have an 83 Druid on Area 52, but I'm just gonna leave him there. It's a lot of time, but I'd rather just reroll and relearn from the ground up than pay a transfer fee there (though I do need spell leather heirlooms...) My poor 85 Shaman is stranded, but I'll transfer and level him before WoD releases. Especially since he's a maxed (well, not quite so much now) scribe, and that's not a profession you want to start over with.
It's in your spellbook. Along with the other passives, there's a "Master: Whatever" entry. You can also just hover over the mastery stat in your character sheet to find out what it does.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Hit Part 2 is Expertise. Mastery just makes you "better" in some way. Whether its good or bad depends on what it does for your spec. Sometimes is the best thing ever and you want to stack the shit out of it, sometimes its almost useless.
Even among mages I think it's ok for some specs like arcane right? I could be way off. But basically, it's a variable stat they added to both make specs more interesting and make a universal '+good' stat that can work for anything.
IE: tank DKs get more out of death strike heals for having mastery, frost DKs get more frost damage, Unholy dks get more shadow damage, etc.

Haste is best for mage if you're frost
Crit is best for mage if you're fire
Mastery is best for mage if you're arcane
Your second best stat as frost is mastery
as arcane it's haste and as fire it's mastery.
So no, it's not useless.
So I kind of think they should boost Northrend leveling as much as they boosted Outlands. Because the climb to 100 will be ridiculous, and it already feels like I was blasting through to 70 now it's come to a crawl.
I know 85-90 is the slowest, but there's no reason 70-80 should still be this slow in comparison to how quick Outlands was.

My first LFR garrosh kill was 8 stacks, with the offtank holding the phase 1 adds directly in the path of the iron star the whole time.

Fire's second best stat is haste, not mastery, afaik.
To be honest, at this point into the patch, fighting Evermaw feels like a waste of time considering he doesn't drop anything unique and is only good if you need lots of Timeless Coins, which most people(i assume) don't really need that much anymore.
What server are you on? :lol also, I imagine your realm will be connected soon enough.
Kul Tiras is my old server. I'm on Zul'Jin now which is lively as hell.
Kul Tiras is technically medium population, but it's like 90/10 Alliance to Horde, and most of the Alliance don't do Timeless that often for whatever reason. Unfortunately, it means likely no merge due to the decent Alliance population. It's funny because two really high on the ladder Horde guilds used to be on KT when I played. They're gone now, and now Org is a sad, empty place.

You know what WoW needs? Like a 'training simulator'
What I mean is, I should be able to go into a AI-ran dungeon scenario type deal similar to how a heroic or raid works and get instructions on what to do, how to do it, with AI instead of making other people suffer through my noobness. Like, turn everything ugly and dont have any loot so you're not 'ruining the experience' but let me pick any particular scenario to test myself on. Like if I kept dying on Safety Dance let me do Safety Dance with ugly polygon models. Let me set up the AI in my party, like if I want two shaman, two druids, or whatever.

Got my first level 90 (Hunter) and my item level is 481. My damage output is pretty bad, I guess. In my Character tab my Ranged Damage is 1266018575 with Damage per Second at 5466.4. I'm currently using an item level 463 weapon (Firebelcher Hand Cannon from a Heroic dungeon). Anyone know where I can find a ilvl 489 or 496 weapon? Been going around Timeless Isle and it takes a while to kill those Elite monsters.
I really have no idea where I should be going for good gear to be honest. :/

Honestly the easiest way is to farm gear on TI and do some LFR. I have a bag full of ranged weapons from LFR. The other way is to farm coins on the TI an buy the weapon at the vendor. It's pretty easy to get enough coins if you do the few dallies, chests and rares.
Closest thing right now is the Proving Grounds scenario.
Went back into SoO and banged our heads against Galakras.
For some reason, we had a healer keep dying followed by one Tank shortly after (and sometimes vice-versa).
Eventually, we just kinda gave up and I went to the Timeless Isle to gank people.
Got like 20 or so coins and pissed off the majority of the Isle again.
This time around, I went around with a Mage who frequently commented on how I was just chewing through most people.
In one funny scenario, we accidentally went after a decent sized group of about 3-4, the Mage got killed, and I tried to flee in the ensuing chaos (they were fighting Ordon mobs).
Ended up Disengaging off a cliff into the ocean, where they chose not to follow.
Something like that would be pretty neat.
Proving Grounds was sort of a step that way, but it only does so much.

Proving Grounds is sooo booring though and it messes with your head. I guess it may be different for other classes, but rogues without haste are a pain to play and completely unfun.
5th run is nothing, come back in half a year, then this will be impressive

You don't know how disappointing it is to run BT as a DK and not have tier gear to look forward to!
Also, War Banners are awesome due to the fact that you can intervene to them. Many charge, such mobility, wow.

So this is my prot warrior
I've got some Timeless Isle gear, but I've also got some serious garbage. But most the upgrades require me running heroics to get justice. Should I just run heroics? I feel like I'm way undergeared
