All the folks on the Hunter board (god, why are people so mean to each other on there? sheesh!) have said Outlands is fine at 58 for us. I am BM and have decent gear, so I feel like I'll probably be okay. Finally will be getting Serpent's Swiftness at 58 too which I can't wait for. 
as a hunter go to outlands as soon as you ding 58, no reason not to
the quests in outlands are easy for hunters, you will rarely die, only times you might die are if you get ganked or are trying to solo a grp/elite quest
there is absolutely no reason to to explore old content after u ding 58 w/any class imo
more cloth, more gold, more xp, better quest rewards available in outlands, go go

I think it took me that long to get 1 level yesterday. :lol I guess maybe I'm just slow? Or is leveling there like super fast due to higher exp on quest rewards?Re: Epic mounts, I know you can get ones from the pvp places or something for just honor marks... I assume the skill to learn riding at a higher level is what costs the most money?
Damn. Never ran into one of those before.Razoric said:
Yeah, you get ****tons of experience from Outlands quests. It's really fun to just run around and bang them out, too.Meier said:
Yeah, skill used to cost very little and mounts a lot. Now, the skill costs a lot and the mounts very little. This was changed partially because of the mounts you could get from ZG, Strat (though, that was like, 1-2 per server) and from hitting Rank 11 in the old honour system (which was a grind in itself, anyway). Effectively, you didn't have to pay the 900g or whatever it was.
I think it's like, 540g for the epic mount training, which you can get in no time from Outlands.

You're gonna love seeing all the mail quest rewards tailored to shamans. I hope you're an enchanter.

I found the itemization to be decent in terms of catering to everyone. There is just TOO MANY rewards to the point where it's difficult to complain, you'd get quests over and over with the same type of item skewed different for classes/specs.
The complaint I could muster leveling a Warrior in BC is that the quest reward cloaks kept pissing me off. Too much "of the bandit"-esque shit.
I found most of the Paladin rewards to suck shit, on the contrary of the subject. All of it is pretty much "total hybrid" gear that winds up with the effect of being a mediocre piece of Judgement, even on the up and up quality stuff.

12 shadow lab runs now and no bold shoulders. Had 52 spirit shards so I bought the ring, which is no real use to me as I'm a protection warrior. Damnit

I'm hoping Aran drops my shoulders so I can stop farming heroic ramparts. I'm still wearing level 67 green shoulders (everything else has been suitably upgraded).
My friend and I managed to get our arena rating up to a 2032, which should put us as number two or three on the server, not the battle group though.
http://www.boxspherical.com/arena/index.php says a 2032 rating will net us 665 arena points for 2v2, however last week our rating was only 1986, and I received more than 700 points.

Did SM last night for the first time. Wow it was much easier than I expected, mainly because I was in a good group. I'll have the recap later. But right now it's bragging time I got this off one of the bosses:

congrats - it's the everyman's mid-30s blue shield, though, really - never had it not drop from that instance.

Rightfully so. Gruul's Lair is supposed to be an instance for 25-man guilds to start out on. Anyway, my guild downed him tonight and I passed on my Tier 4 Pants. Damn!

I'd rather those pants be better than Hallowed, which I've just slapped better gems into. I mentioned on the WoW boards (in a rare sensible thread) that before this nerf, it was like release, but Onyxia dropped Dungeon 1 set; like Valor Helm, Arcanist Mantle, and the Trindlehaven Staff or some shit.
Now, it's like, well; it's easier to take him down. You're still only using bits and pieces of epic drops, but, hey! It's easier!

Looks great! My stupid 3D card is so ghetto that I'm too worried to download any add-ons other than Titan Panel and a mod that shows a quest's level numerically. Didn't do any exp all weekend as I am trying to give Dormer and our friend Dan a chance to catch up (or at least be a few levels closer to Outland) before I push on. Raised my enchanting about 100 points or so.. 250-300 looks like it will be very difficult/pricey to skill-up though.
Also did a bunch of pvp in battlegrounds and had a fairly epic AV take 2 hours and 5 minutes before we won. Ended up having like 450 kills during it. :lol
Boomer said:
Yes and no, depends on the "legit" aspect of your kill
For a lot of guild, killing "pre-nerf" gruul meant killing a Gruul bugging out and no longer shattering/Hurtfull Striking/Silencing (take your pick).
The new grull lost around 750k HP and his shatter damage, while reduced, still requieres people to pay attention.
Our Kill, yesterday, was within 13 growths, with people taking next to no shatter damage not because it was nerfed, but because they were positionning themselves the right way.
In the past, Gruul had just way too much HP.

We never got a bugged Gruul...lowest we got him pre nerf was 40% or so..guild couldn't handle the shatter. We one shotted Gruul after the nerf..the shatter is much easier to deal with.

I like how a 2 hour AV is epic now. Some of the games before they modified the battlefield were just absurd. It was pretty amusing to hear people talking about an AV game in guild chat before I went to bed and then hear about the same on-going AV game after I came home from work the next day. Even more amusing was that sometimes it was the same person talking about the game.
Damn, 2 hours ... that used to be like, a quick AV. I think the longest one I ever put up with was 7 hours or so, and that was only because it was winter break, heh.
A buddy linked me to a forum post ages ago, where people on the server (this was pre-cross server, obviously) were talking on the forums that were in the AV. They had been in there for more than a day.

Haha that's nuts. No way would I bother to stick around that long, but I guess for 60s, honor/rep grinding was all they could do for much of the time. Glad I had quit long before that.
I would say that most of the time, Horde win the AV within 30-45 minutes tops. This felt like a war of attrition as we had waaay too many on defense. Apparently Alliance own the 61-70 bracket on Ruin, but Horde are tops in the 51-60 one. Shame that none of the gear is any good really beyond the Harpy Hide Quiver.

We did that the other day for about 3 hours. I thought it was fun as hell. It actually felt like it was "war" for one of the first times in World of "War"craft.... for me anyway.
I guess 8-9+ hours is pushing it though.
Personally I'd like to see an attack / defend BG that has that same concept (as fighting on that AV bridge) but is on a timer.... ie the Horde has to take out the alliance within 30 minutes or the lose, etc.

Killed Shade of Aran tonight. 2nd night of attempts, 3rd pull (8 total, I think). It was just the MT and a laggy shaman up for the last 5-6%. Scary and exciting at the same time.

Obviously my character doesn't look like the pic in top left. But yeah, those are my noob-tastic stats. I just got that mace so I'm working on leving up my skillz with maces

I got it in SM. I want to see just how much more powerful it is than my Mithril Axe
Boy do I seriously need to replace my ring(s), shoulders, gloves and belt. They load ya up with chest, head, etc. gear once you get into Outland but leave you cold in those areas. :lol Luckily I had random drops for my bracer and boots that were upgrades.
Managed to do the quest for Bladefist's Breadth which is of course siiiick.
