......... are you honestly saying its not a big deal that you pretty much can't do anything for a month and a half?

are you honestly saying you cant do anything?

i know quite alot of hunters who are working just fine, despite being hit with the nerf bat... i guess they just don't cry to mommy about game changes.

saying you cant do anything till you hit 85... is just whiny.

all i have to say... is ...

WoW WAS NOT about smashing your face into the keyboard to get 10kdps... WoW was learning class mechanics....

as many have said before... if you're QQing because you cant facesmash to the top of dps... then ... learn to play your class.

as far as hot chicks in skimpy costumes it's been rather sparse this year. Did see two as the dragon queen, both of which looked to have just come from getting a nice hair removal first..the one in not much more than a thong even more so.

not for some of these idiots though, if ya can't walk in your costume maybe you should try something else.

the one as a mage dragging a child's toy type thing that was a sheep announced as her troll rogue pet was pretty hilarious.

also some girl came out as illidian. luckily she was about as well endowed up front as a two by four as she got away with very minor strips of clothing across the upper chest to hide the goods.

and there is a black chick as diablo witch doctor with what almost looks like a princess leia in hutt palace situation, camera's are conspicuously staying away from her lower half.

Did you see the guy doing the Undead male dance? Poor kid will never live that down.

The first spirit rezzer person was wearing something fairly skimpy if that's what you were looking for :p. The second Jaina Proudmoore was also quite the cutie and then there was the girl doing the Blood Elf Female dance... the one in the blue farm girl outfit.

ya, first spirit rez chick was pretty nice, and that farm girl dance one was probably one of the best two girl dancers of the night, much more than the one they picked for the finals.

also, forgot his title but chilton said they were still trying to fix it so they'd put expansions out quicker even though this one is just a few weeks more than 2 years from when wrath came out.

I hate the fact that the official forums require authenticators.

post-4.0, what do you think a better BoA weapon enchant would be for an enhance shaman? lifestealing, crusader, +15 agi, or fiery?

probably still crusader. 100ap + healing is still better than the 30ap you get from 15 agility. agility no longer provides you with armor and crit, right? or is it just armor that you don't get from agility now?

You still get crit, you just don't get armor.

The one bad thing about Crusader is that its effects start to diminish after 60, and eventually the healing becomes even more menial as your HP goes up. In the beginning, I would say Crusader is better because of the healing and higher AP (although, it is a proc). But once you start getting to 60+, 15 agility will probably be better.

well technically mongoose would be better 60+. unless you're like me and have all enchants including all world and new world ones, you may not be willing to pay someone 350-500g for a mongoose enchant though :p

thanks :)

I don't mind the mats for mongoose -- they're farmed easily enough from the old IQD dailies that award bags of BoE greens -- but they can't be put on the BoA weapons.

I wasn't sure if any of the 4.0.1 stat changes affected the crusader vs lifestealing vs agi balance for agility-based melee classes (eg: rogues/enhance shaman)

seems those of us with 10 filled player slots are fubared for the expansion, even though at con09 it was mentioned several times and vague answers where given about them looking into it, when asked at con10 they simply dismissed it as something they haven't looked at yet.

i called it.

sorta..

http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/10/23/blizzcon-2010-emerald-dream-and-or-nightmare-in-the-future/

There are a lot of questions that come up from the WoW community at events like BlizzCon. Will we ever have player or guild housing? Why doesn't Blink work right? Where's my moose? One question that keeps coming up is will we ever see the Emerald Dream or its corrupted version, the Emerald Nightmare?

While there is no announcement for an exact date or even which expansion it will appear, Alex "Valnoth" Afrasiabi (lead world designer for World of Warcraft) has finally answered this for us, and that answer is yes. The problem comes down to a matter of finding the right place to fit it in. This might mean something in patch 4.2 or all the way in patch 6.2. It really comes down to when it will fit in the game storyline.

At least we now know that it is something they will do.

maybe it's just because ToC was such a fail instance, but WotLK felt way too long.

WotLK only felt long because raiding as a whole was a joke and easy. Naxx was a total joke and Ulduar was a joke also. Hardmodes are a nice idea but to bad some of them glitch and the loot was barely better than what you already had.

I quit for 15 months due to how pathetically easy raiding was. I was in a good guild and just had enough with how dumbed down raiding had become when I saw bad bad bad guilds clearing stuff.

Patch 2.4.0 ruined raiding period. This was the patch that got rid of the attunements for Hyjal and BT as well as nerfed raid boss health for TBC. Raiding has been easy mode ever since.

I wonder how much longer ICC content would've lasted without the +% buff. Only one guild (Paragon) has reported ever beating Heroic Lich King 25 without the buff.

Ulduar hard modes were decent enough.
