Oh yeah. Let me tell you, that Divine Spirit was highly prized in raids.... :lolMagnus said:
Other spells that are considered Priest hallmarks today were doled out only to specific races: Devouring Plague (Undead only), Desperate Prayer (Human and Dwarf), Fear Ward (Dwarf only). This is the reason my Priest is a Dwarf.

I always thought that Priest racials were cool. Of course my first Priest was a Draenei, so I was the best PvE Priest race in the game. :lol

Fear Ward was the god-mode one since lolfear was such a prized asset on certain fights.Evlar said:
The lack of fear ward + general weakness of totems vs. blessings is why Alli was so far and away ahead of horde raids back then. I kind of miss the idea of horde and alli actually being different though. Faction specific classes was a pretty cool idea, but I can there's no way that will ever come back, of course, given how much balancing each class takes.

How much of it is familiarity with the quests? How much of the "old world" questing zones would you say are actually new or revamped?Weenerz said:

I will never forget the Horde's incessant bitching about not having Fear Ward (or, well, Blessing of Kings or Salvation for that matter) and Blizzard's eventual admission that "Yeah...Priest racials were a bad idea" at Blizzcon :lol To be fair it was pretty lop-sided in terms of convenience in raiding between the Alliance and Horde when Paladins and Shamans were still faction specific, but the whining got really obnoxious really quickly. Which I always found ironic given that, back then, the Horde stereotyped the average Alliance player as being a whiny little kid and the Horde was the "mature" faction.

Well alliance did whine a lot about how the Horde racials were the reason Alliance kept getting curbstomped in pvp.

Not familiar enough with horde side quests to know the difference, I'm afraid. :lolWeenerz said:
Fear was never a reason for Horde beeing behind alliance.Angry Grimace said:
And behind on what exactly? The only raid the Alliance cleared before Horde was BWL. all the other ones were cleared by the horde first.
MC? Assent (now Gong show)
BWL? Drama (now dead?)
AQ40? Nihilum
Naxx? Nihilum
Ony was D&T (well, the non tauntable version anyway, horde killed the tauntable version before).
In BC, the game evened out (but horde still won it all)
WHat they should have done in the first place is have Shamans and Paladins available for the opposite faction but under another name (Death Knights for Paladins and... uh... something for shamans). They'd just have to re-name and re-model some spells and effects and armour sets to fit in the lore for the other side and it'd all have worked. Sort of.

Well, Assassination is a dagger spec. I can't imagine it NOT requiring it.Door2Dawn said:
Alcoori said:Leveling a Lolsmite priest waiting for cataclism. I think the name pretty much describes the feeling of the spec so far
I tried this before the changes to the shadow tree came around, only lasted like 4 mobs before I re-specced back shadow, mind numbingly slow killing.

Yep. Throw on a Power Word: Shield, DoT the mob, and wand them to death. Fast and the most mana efficient leveling early on.
Really? I can't think of a single guild that I knew, nor a single tactic recommending it, that paladin should tank Illidan. Everywhere, everyone i knew, used warriors only.Fularu said:
Maybe it's because they had pretty weak single target threat generation. AoE tank, sure, great. But single target? Not really. Nor can I remember warriors being "distant thirds" in sunwell. Sure, they were behind ferals (especially on Brutallus), but paladins better than them? Only instance I can remember is Felmyst adds and maybe on M'uru, though I'm not sure of that second.

So I received a restoration notification e-mail from Blizzard yesterday (definitely from Blizzard and every link in the message leads to the right place so it isn't a phishing e-mail).
The problem is I haven't been hacked in a couple months, and the items were all ones I never earned on a realm I don't play on, and for a class I don't play.
I can't go online to check it out until this evening, am I going to be boned?

The format came out a little weird, as I had to forward it to a different e-mail off of my phone. But it looked proper when I checked my inbox at home this morning.Rapstah said:
I actually just noticed that all of the urls are actually hotlinked to bllizzard.net and then the appropriate string rather than battle.net. So yeah, definitely a phishing e-mail, just disturbing that they're getting this clever about it.

Man, that bring back memories... I leveled as Demonology Warlock thinking that Enslave Demons was the coolest spell of the game (come on, facing demons and bind them to my will, how awesome is that?). I put the five points on it, even if I the only place in Azeroth I had found demons were in Desolace, thinking that it would be more used on high level stuff.
So when I went to Mt Hyjal as a all powerful 60 Demonologist Warlock I use the spell on the elite felguards there:
"Immune"
"Walk from the graveyard"
Awesome spell Blizzard, thanks

Last night I was grouped with some rude people in the Dungeon Finder, and they told me I suck because I died on a boss because I didn't reset stacks. They didn't tell me what it means and also told me to quit paying 15 bucks for a game I don't know how to play
What does that mean? I'm a hunter btw

Not a chance in hell we'll see it in Sept, though it'd make great sense to have it out then, due to the sheer boredom experienced in the game at this moment from the content being completely beat and OS 2.0 being totally lame.
I'm just finishing off leveling my priest at the moment, trying to squeeze it in until my pre-paid time runs out. It was a pretty good way to make some extra gold.
Going to be a toss up come Cata if I'll continue on as my DK as a main or my Paladin. Depends how badly they fucked up the rune system, and how cool the new Pally system turns out.
I am sick and tired of how maint is always extended. Today I could have got in more time (i'm on the east coast) in the game due to their brilliant change in maint times, but of course, par for the course I should say, they extended the maint again. What a terrible company. They should have their shit together after all these years. I wish someone would make a competitive MMO already.
My roommate has gotten into playing the auction house and crafting, and has been making just absurd amounts of money. Last night he just randomly gave me http://www.wowhead.com/item=49895 for no cost for my Druid tank. Pretty awesome!
The Lamonster said:
Was it the nexus? Like you didn't move and got that debuff on you stacked too high and took too much damage until you died? Most people just assume that everyone did the fights 100 times by now. Hell, when I was running it on my priest and healing, I would let people die after the fight because they'd just stand there, and I got tired of throwing heals on them.
Or, was it that frost stack in Pit of Saron? You didn't get behind the boulders thrown?

Yep! Thanks, now I know what to do.Flib said:
How am I supposed to know that when it's the first time I've done that dungeon!
The Lamonster said:
You need to tell people its your 1st time, otherwise they will all assume you have been playing this expansion since the beginning.
So next time you do a new instance, just tell people and hope someone will tell you about the bosses.

I did, but they were jerks and decided to just insult me for the next 15 minutes instead.FLEABttn said:
However, the vast majority of players (in my experience) have been wonderfully helpful and polite.
I usually do tell people when I'm new to something. I had actually done the instance before but not that specific boss. And yeah I should have just followed the others but it all just happened so quickly, I just...*sobs*Kletian said:

I'd guess that you're talking about Forgemaster Garfrost. He gives a damage over time effect to everyone in LoS which grows and grows until it becomes far too strong to heal through.
He also throws out rocks. You're meant to hide behind a rock until the damage effect times out, and then return to attacking. If you do that, the effect will never get high enough to be fatal.
