Also, just so everyone knows, you dont have to have the "tag" on the specific quest mobs to get credit for the kill, you just have to deal some damage. This goes for just the "named" guys you have to kill, not when it says "kill 10 of X". I was spamming swipe like a madman.

Is there a website that explains this further? My main is a warrior tank and I'll probably level as Fury / Arms and I'd rather collect more tank gear along the way than DPS gear.

it's pretty basic... the quest reward should be tailored for whatever your spec is at the time you turn it in. so, run quests are fury/arms, and when you get back to base to turn them in, respec prot before hitting any of the "complete quest" dialogues.

for 99% of them... but for Horde at least, there's one quest in the beginning that requires killing 2 named mobs that only counts if you tag them. it was a nightmare last night -- dozens of people/groups sitting on the spawn point spamming AoE.

I logged in last night for kicks, and there was apparently a bug that made it so I couldn't see all of my guildies that were online.

Pretty basic, the second one on the last boss make sure you are jumping over the beams on the floor and not standing in stuff. We had 2 dps doing like 14k, me around 35kish and a good tank and a decent healer and mowed through them.

Ya i had the guildmate issue also last night.

Wow 13m experience, it's taking so long to level, not to mention I'm running as Balance to gear up my resto spec. ~4 hours in, no real issues of fighting for quest mobs and only ~60% of the way through. Am I just slow?

So is MoP really as much fun as you guys say it is? I have 2 copies ready for pickup at Best Buy but I'm not sure if I really want them. I just picked up Guild Wars 2 for me and my wife this past weekend so we've been playing it.

I updated my game and logged in. The new skill system is awful to me. I was thinking about what made me detest this game and it was the loot in DS, random trinket and ring drops from bosses that had only one off piece with one tier piece. No flying until 90 is another.

Then I think about how they are continually messing up Diablo, and I may be totally done with blizzard games personally.

Best of luck to all of you.

Hah, because we all know that yet ANOTHER class needs a way to be really annoying in battlegrounds. Shamans and Druids were bad enough! :eek:

I don't think it's that bad, but that depends on your class. I like what it did for Rogues. However, calling them talents... really doesn't feel right.
