Holy shit, I'm a lvl 14 and I guess I'm still a total newb. This thread reads like a foreign language to me.
Those screenshots are pretty crazy too - heavily modded interface and tons and tons of buttons! If I posted one of my screenshots it would probably look like a Kindergarden hand painting to most of you.
I've got a lot to learn...

You don't HAVE to learn all that. This game can give many levels of satisfaction to different people. You can play 30 mins once or twice a week casually doing quests and slowly leveling your character. Or you can raid for 5 hrs 5 times a week aiming to have your guild be the first to down every boss on the server. Neither of these is wrong.
IMO, one of the things that leads most quickly to disappointment with WoW is forcing yourself to move on to a more advanced level of play unnecessarily. If you are enjoying what you are doing, there is no reason you have to force yourself to try and catch up ... the play style of those you are trying to emulate may not be something you would enjoy.
yeah, I've found that I enjoy WoW the most as a weekend warrior type, where I just play it some during the day on friday/saturday/sunday, don't raid, and ignore it the rest of the week. I tried the whole raiding thing, and it was cool to see new stuff, but all the farming required of old content just to be properly geared for new content (pre-TBC anyway) was boring as hell.

There's some useful information in here, the two you REALLY want are leveling guides for each class/faction combo, and guides to making 100 gold before you hit 40 so you have a sweet ride without stress early.
Everything else you may wanna do is gravy if you understand the thinking behind those two concepts of efficiency and choices ("Balance seems like good DPS, but is it better for leveling than Feral?" that sorta thing).
mages that kill my feral druid do so by continually kiting me because it drains my mana and leaves none for shifting any more or healing myself. just keep running and using instant cast spells and make sure ice armor is up so that when we hit you our movement speed is slowed. sure we can shift out of it, but all that shifting costs mana.FF_VIII said:
remember feral druids have limited means of snaring you in feral form, the most notable is feral charge, and there's also entangling roots, but we have to shift out to cast that.
as for killing resto and balance druids? no idea.
that, and also so many rogues are dumb as a post.border said:
On another completely different subject, can someone tell me whether improved leader of the pack ALSO heals the druid which creates the buff?
that's awesome. with the amount of times i crit in a fight (while farming/grinding) i'll finish it with almost full healthRogosh said:
no need to shift out of cat form for a quick rejuv anymore.
edit: ah, just realised there's a 6 second cooldown on the heal effect. it's still cool though.
WTB a new guild.
So last night was Gruul/Mag night. We've had Gruul on farm for sometime now but we are struggling on Mags. The first attempt looked like a monkey fucking a football. People clicking cubes 10 seconds early. Wipe.
Second attempt was better, got all but one of the channelers down before the first blast wave and managed to successfully interrupt it. So, instead of returning to DPS down the last add, everyone decides it's best to attack Mag instead. Wipe.
From there it just got worse and people started the blame game. Healers yelling at warlocks because infernals weren't banished the second they landed. These same healers apparently forgot about their AoE fear for the night. Clicking became impossible at that point. And on the last attempt, a pally was soul stoned for wipe recovery, and what does he and all the other pallies do when a wipe is unavoidable? Bubble-hearth.

Holy shit that is bad. I mean... fucking wow. Wiping ain't that big a deal, and yea Mag murders guilds on focusing (Although not killing the summoners before a blastwave seems terribly low dps output in general), but still. That is amazingly bad.aesop said:
I never did like Mags, and a lot of guilds get stuck there (though Kael is much, much worse). Even though it has been nerfed now, a lot of the raiders in my guild get surly if someone suggests going there if we finish up the rest of our normal content early.
With the free SSC / TK attunement Mags is now completely skippable. Don't beat yourself over the head on this boss ... move on to SSC if you can't get him.

Where can I find tips or useful info about this? I really do want a sweet ride ASAP when I turn lvl 40!SatelliteOfLove said:
What's a good emote to use while being ganked by players 20, 30 and 40 levels above you?
I'm looking for something that's sarcastic and let's them know how pathetic they are? I'm not against ganking in principle, but players who see someone of significantly lower level and go to all the trouble of demounting and running after them to kill them are pathetic.

What do they gain by killing you, and what (if anything) do you lose by being killed?

Talk to me like I'm retarded. Because I have no idea what you just said. :lolfirex said:
Just make sure your professions (which you can find in any major city, ask a guard or click on the tracking icon) are 2 out of these 3: mining, herbalism, skinning. you can only have 2 professions, so pick 2 of those, and while you build those professions (which is done purely by gathering materials, and not crafting) you can sell all the materials you gather in the auction house. It's a good, fast way to make lots of gold, although it won't be a big bunch of gold at once.The Lamonster said:

Noooooooo!!!! Questhelper addon dude already quit the project.
I'd go with one of the holy/disc leveling builds on a priest, but I can't see myself really enjoying playing a healer priest or a shadow priest at 70. I still absolutely love the class in either form, but I've got a high level warlock already if I really want a DoT/shadow damage based class. Honestly I just like the healing/mana battery that shadow priests provide, and the bonus spell damage that disc priests provide. and I guess I wouldn't mind trying to do the benediction/anathema quest someday, even though it's useless to do now. Similarly I want to do the same for my hunter someday with the leaf at 60, even though I don't really care about the bow or anything.

Got engineering to 350, learned surestrike googles v2.0. Anyway, honestly, what are my chances to get a primal nether @ lvl 65?
Can you even get into heroics without being at level 70? There is no ZA attunement, so I suppose you could get badges from there and use them to buy the Nether.Buggy Loop said:
Either way, you would probably need a very helpful and nice guild. No chance in hell of pugging that shit.

There are two types of raiding guilds: those that beat Maggy and see content, and those that don't and implode. It's like skipping 2nd and 3rd grade and going from 1st to 4th: doable, but jams alot of pressure on a guild once the next tests show up (ie, Vashj and Kael).
As for going back after one or two times, nah; especially not after you have 3 bosses down in T5. You need the learning he gives you; the gear, not so much.
Shit, I just point and laugh. Nerdrager wanna kill? That'll be some ego, thanks.
When I had a Frost mage for a while, getting off a Poly was nice, then I got to do the jawesome troll dance in their faces too.
