Jesus Christ at the people bitching at Blizzard for revamping Ony.
This is not intended to be "the next big raid", or the center-piece for some giant content-patch ("big plans for 3.2.2" is alluding to the simple fact that they're celebrating five years). It's not like Tier 9 will be dropping in the raid. Do you people seriously have a fork shoved so far up your asses that you can't just enjoy an unexpected and fun (not to mention: optional) return to classic content?
Don't like it? Then don't fucking do it. Going to the boards and throwing conspiracy theories around about Blizzard being lazy and rehashing old-content in this instance is ludicrously stupid; since, again, they never announced this prior to today, so don't even try to whine that this is replacing some brand-new huge pre-Icecrown 25-man. They didn't have to do this, this isn't the next big step in level-80 content once your guild is farming Ulduar.
Sorry, but the sense of entitlement this community has makes them act like a bunch of spoiled whiny brats.
At any rate, maybe now the ignorant witch will drop my Judgement Crown after four years

No kidding. 3.2.2 hardly sounds the next super major patch guys :lolWeenerz said:
I honestly don't even expect it to be a Tier raid; since it's an Anniversary raid. I think it's totally awesome, actually.

I doubt that Arthas can be saved, as that quest line is pretty blunt about him being beyond salvation. However, that doesn't mean that Ner'zhul can't pull a Voldemort.
My prediction is that Icecrown will end with Ner'zhul being cast from Arthas body in a process that will kill his physical form (i.e. Arthas himself). As he dies, Matthias comes and rejoins his spirit, then leaves Azeroth forever. That way he can finally be "redeemed" but never saved, which seems a fitting end to the saga.

Damn I'm using the same setup and mine doesn't look half as good.
So... about that dance studio that was promised before Wrath launched and was a bullet point. Spin it, prove blizzard innocent, keep fighting the good fight.
They don't owe us anything, but if they didn't do anything, they wouldn't have the numbers of players that they do. They're not doing it from the goodness of their hearts, they're doing it so they can imitate Scrooge McDuck's vault.

Actually I'd love a 10/25 SM raid! There is so much lore in the old world instances, and it's silly that a level 55 can solo Fairbanks, Whitemaine and Mograine. Who cares about the loot?

Nobody needs to defend Blizzard, they do their work to earn my money by adding shit I want in the game. Period.
As for Arthas, he will probably die outright. He was kind of a dick even before becoming a DK and then the LK.
nah. If you are either at the crusader rank of the Argent Tournament or just do heroics, you can buy heirlooms. 40 emblems for chest/shoulder armor (or 60 champion seals) and then buy a weapon if you want, although if you play a caster/healer class I honestly recommend going for one or both trinkets first.speedpop said:
Onyxia sounds awesome, great touch for an 'anniversary' raid.
Also, Fragment Fail 2009 continued; nothing but the one off Yogg. /wrist
We officers are also contemplating abandoning Ulduar pretty soon, given the Crusader rewards are rivaling or severely outclassing even hard mode Ulduar drops. There are of course many exceptions, which might keep us there at least one month more. Hopefully that'll be enough time for my treat.

Now that we have the mace we're never setting foot in Ulduar again if not to get our Iron-Bound Proto-Drakes. Hardmodes all the way.

The only reason to bitch about Ony is because it wasn't released back in April. Ulduar not having a new throw away one encounter to accompany it = sucky.

WotLK isn't as much copy-paste as it is running stuff ad absurdum. Naxx10 and Naxx25 was farmfests for mains and alts alike before Ulduar. Ulduar is quickly coming a thing of the past with the higher gearlevels in ToC10 and ToC25. Sure, Ulduar is still the place to go if you want a 310% mount, but apart from that very little can come of the instance (if you're not into building up your off-spec gears.)
With the no-trash approach coupled with the piñiata-like bosses ToC might very well earn itself a spot in WoW-history as the worst raid instance. It's what the crowds always asked for ("why trash?", "trash respawns are boring", etc) but when they got it they realised that Blizzard had been doing it right this whole time. And even while the end-of-the-world scenarios can be a little too-much at times I still prefer it to the "let's have a tournament"-idea. But who knows? This might come out as one of the better things that has happened to WoW, but I doubt it.
So, I decided I was sick of slow ass flying, as it makes for a bunch of suck when farming or trying to fly around Icercrown. I managed to get 4250g in one day, and I don't know how I could have ever waited this long.
What are some of the better flying mounts to get? I missed a roll on the drake in H CoS the other night, but the person who won is gonna run with me till I get it.

Sorry mate, too busy pouring myself over Warcraft lore and trying to read Blizzard's steps before they announce them. Still have to re-read the Arthas novel and the comics are still ongoing with their story of Med'an, the prophesied saviour of Azeroth.mclem said:

And you assume this other phantom MMO won't recycle some classic content from time to time? Get over yourself.

Put corruption in there.
Don't think of destro as a "rotation". It's priority. Conflag is the thing that you need to hit almost immediately when it comes off of CD, chaos bolt right behind it. Never cast an incinerate if immo won't be on the target when the projectile hits. I personally use CoA, but that's an old habit from using it to trip Molten Core when that was still in the destro tree.
Get used to hitting your instant cast stuff when you need to move. For example, getting knocked up into the air on Ignis' flame jets is a perfect time to reapply corruption and/or CoA. If conflag is off of cooldown when you need to move, even better.
And don't let your imp die. Empowered imp got a buff big enough to offset the nerf Fire & Brimstone got in 3.2.

Been doing H:ToC since patch. Only cloth that has dropped for me is the chestpiece embrace of madness. All leather/mail crap otherwise. I was lucky enough that the other cloth wearer was a scrub warlock that did all of 900 dps and passed on it.
Only other thing I got was the dps dagger that is pretty nice.

I was a complete asshole in raid last night.
I'm sorry, but I get sick and tired of dps being shit all over. Fine, treat the guys at the bottom of the meters like they're replaceable because frankly they are, but don't shit all over a mage that's done 20K dps over 3min on Hodir, a warlock / boomkin / hunter that's at the top of the meters on every fight, etc. We're no more replaceable than the DK tank that's pulling a whopping 4K tps.
It took the top five dps speaking up together on the tank's lackluster TPS before there was even an admission that we might have a "threat generation issue". Sorry, but when nothing more than immo -> conflag -> chaos bolt consistently puts me at 70% threat even after giving the tank time to build aggro it's his problem, not mine.
Fuck, we stayed up late (1AM) trying to get our pally his legendary last night because he's "too busy" to make the raid on Sunday, and he's got the nerve to bitch at me for getting grabbed by a constrictor tentacle (WTF?). Yeah, sorry I can't teleport to every crusher and control where the constrictors pop up. I went off on him in vent.
I've bitched about it before, but the sense of entitlement that some tanks / healers have is probably the single biggest turnoff to raiding. I've got most of them muted because hearing them speak makes me want to uninstall WoW. Of course it's just as annoying to hear the people bringing up the rear on the meters to claim that all those of us at the top care about it "raping meters". My response:
"I've been raping these raids' meters since WotLK went live, you think I give a fuck about them now?" Shit, 99% of the time I have Recount minimized. It's always the same five people at the top, the boss dies, who cares?

A DK Tank is pulling 4k TPS? :lol
I'm probably way undergeared from him and I typically pull ~5-6k on my Warrior.
Yeah, I've got way too many plate drops. I pretty much have a full dps set now! It sucks considering the group I run with is usually: Myself(prot war), Disc Priest, Mage, Warlock, and a pug DPS.

Newb Hunter Question/Advice: Just hit lvl 10 (playing on limited time lately) and, of course, going BM. Any good resources for BM specs that can help me decide which way to go? Also, choosing pets. Does it matter early on? I'm in Mulgore on Tauren. Any pet out there that will help me out big time early on?
