to be fair, these are really the first weapons that have been geared towards Druids - there is no epic druid quest for anything, let alone a weapon, and the Finkle's Lava Dredger is also for Shammies, so it's very tough to get a purple druid weapon!

I think that one hammer must be a type, that damage is crazy for a 1 hand weapon!

Hilarious and true.

"The raid-lockout system has undergone a significant change. The new system has been designed to make scheduling end-game content even more difficult than before. We?ve also managed to make it more difficult for a Guild?s newer players to have a chance to raid, in light of the fact that we would like to see more of you going outside, and getting some fresh air. All resets will occur during Oceania?s peak hours of game play, because from what we understand Australia is full of assholes."

I think being PvE gods is the druid form of an epic quest :frown: ps. shamans need at least 11 points in the enhancement tree to use 2h maces and the alliance has none.

Mounts are reported by a guildmate of mine to work inside UC now, so that's pretty cool.

Didn't see that in the patch notes, thought I'd pass it along.

If that goes live it will be insane if you put two of them in a warriors hands.

"Insane" describes current warrior damage output, we need a new word for this...

It was changed to around 57 dps after the first test realm patch. Those screenshots are very old.

anyone know if they buggered the fishing system ? A buddy and I can't seem to raise the fishing skill up at all... and I'm only at 2 skill (new char). Been trying for 30 minutes and it hasn't moved. Isn't it supposed to go up fast at my level ?

Having the same problem... probably a bug. You might have to fish in those new nodes to raise skill? I haven't tried that yet.

well this patch ended my WoW gaming.

Yes, I was a Paladin. She was my main, having already finished a hunter, and I had found her very enjoyable to play. I put down a conception and played her to that form. With 1.9 I could no longer create her as it takes more talent points than we are given. Mainly a lot of this was caused by moving Holy Shield from tier 3 to tier 7. That combined with the other nerfs in this Paladin change just made the game laughable. Its all about what the PvP losers whine about most is what the developers nerf next.

Just pray your priests don't get Paladinized...

Oh well, I only played the game to be entertained, as is it fails to do that I see no reason to ever play it again. Have fun in WoW guys.

(yeah, my primary hunter was a BM so she got whacked too).

Paladins are better in PvP now. Unless you ran around with a 2h thinking you were a OMGDPSSSS warrior that is.
