November 13. Cannot wait. My friends and I have started a raiding guild in preparation for it. Our old guild made it to 3/9 BT, but there were probably 15 out of the 25 of us who were really holding it up, so a bunch of us bailed out when they released the 3.0 patch and are starting to make preparations to power-level through Northrend and hit Naxx running at 80. Most of us are in T5/T6 gear, so that'll last us through till about level 77 or so (at least it is not a TBC repeat where the 60 epics were made obsolete by the first greens in Outland), so it shouldn't be too unattainable. Then once we've geared sufficiently from 10 man Naxx, we're gonna jump into 25 mans and follow that progression path from there on out. Gonna be so much fun.

Assuage me, TPWW. Show me there are still people here who waste hours and hours and hours in Azeroth :(

Didn't even see Narc's thread below.

This thread is better though. It came with video.

I used to play but now it seems like too much work to level up past 60.

Leveling has been easy in the last 4 patchs, even easier with the LK patch. Even though I only have 2 70's, it's because there the only ones I use.

Here are my guys stats(armory hasn't updated pally)
Rogue

Rogue's Armory

Pally

Paladin's Armory(hope it updates soon)

As mentioned in the other thread I have two characters, a Troll Mage and a Blood Elf Rogue. Mage is at 70 and currently fire spec'd my Rogue is at 17 at the moment and Combat Spec.

So far it's quite fun playing a Rogue although from level 10-15 there seemed to be a hell of a lot of dying involved in it.

Meh, patch has ruined the game. PvP is no longer about strats or skill, it's back to the "Who can 2 shot the other person first" crap it was pre-BC. And don't give me the tired excuse "Balanced for 80" anyone who knows how to use youtube has seen its the same in beta at 80 as it is live at 70.

And add on the fact instance servers have been going down more than a hooker on a rich guy, which reduces the game to running around getting zones explored or ganking on Quel'Danas.

Just rerolled a troll Mage on a Horde PVP server (was alliance PVE, 70 Mage and 70 Druid). Should hit 70 right when Wrath hits so I won't have to grind anything at 70.

I spent far too much time on this game in TBC, and don't plan to in wrath

stopped raiding about half a year ago, but yeah.

Full Tier 6 of Prot and DPS for my warrior... illidan's shield, etc. etc... i was the GM / raid leader / main tank.. never again..

im surprised i managed to have a social life and keep my GPA up at the same time =\

it's going to be hard not to play tho, simply because of all the gold i mustered up. I have a bit above 100k g. and no im not a huge farmer, it's just what's left over from raiding mainly.

Played on the Beta Server for EU for past few months, but because of the shitty lag that the server always has i stopped playing it.

Decided to do a bit of the new Achievements that they brought out recently though.

Protection Warrior = Awesome now, actually feels quite enjoyable.

EU are once again slacking with the Armory pages!

yeah i read about the talents, i haven't even spec'd my warrior yet after 3.0 cuz im so sick of tanking. i hear it's pretty good now though, i'll have to see

Prot for warriors is amazing now. It's better for pvp, pve and simple grinding/questing. You take shit for damage and have so many options to handle things, it's amazing.

Ret is of course completely overpowered currently, but the design of the tree in addition to the seals/judgements system and the hand spells is pretty solid, they just have to adjust numbers.

I don't raid or anything, I mainly just pvp and level new characters. Ultimately my goal is a max level of every class. We have exactly enough slots per server to make one of every class, and I have one of everything above level 40 ( 3 70s, a shaman, priest and druid, with a lock and rogue not far behind) and have a name picked out for my death knight come expansion time.

They have nerfed the levelling experience so badly. It is a walk in the park. Even the instances have been nerfed - all raid bosses have had like a 30% reduction to their health since 3.0 to help people access end game content before Wrath. Which, on one hand, is nice for people who weren't seeing endgame content, but on the other hand, is really frustrating for those of us who spent months going back and spending entire nights wiping on Archimonde.

This has been my main complaint post-patch. For the first 3-4 days, there were either no instances, no battlegrounds, or both. It was mind-numbing. And offensive, because it happened over the weekend and basically people lost their entire weekend of viable playtime because of it. What else are we gonna do? Stand in Shatt and /flex?

You won't have to, really. With 10-man options for every 25-man raid, you could see endgame (sort of) in no time, with a decently skilled 10 man group. If you just wanted to see the raid area and get it over with ASAP, 10 man progression path is probably more up your alley. That's what our old guild is gonna do. But fuck that shit.

Although, dunno how I feel about T7 being aesthetically the same as T3. I know both sets come from Naxx, and it's technically the same stronghold with the same/similar bosses and it stands to reason that it would look the same, but still :(

Let my game card run out a month ago. Probably gunna grab another and finish my priestical off too 70

They're nerfing (or possibly nerfed last night with shutdown) ret pallies already. Blizz said they never change balance because of cries of "OP!", since then they'd be changing shit every day, but too many non pallies + a large number of pallies were saying that shit was dying way too quick at the hands of a plate-wearer. Squishies stood no chance. The day after the patch I was in WSG and saw a ret pally cut down a druid and a warlock before getting onto a mage, who he also killed before being taken down by like 4 Alliance people. Then in ZA that night, our ret pally topped DPS in a group including two T5/6 mages and a similarly geared Hunter and Rogue. It was fairly ridiculous.

I honestly don't plan on levelling a Death Knight. There is gonna be an absolute spree of those guys. "LFG 10man Naxx - have healer, need 9 DKs". :'(

And personally, I'm loving the patch. ZA in <40 minutes, Kara in an hour and a bit... badgefarm plus. Won't need them come Wrath, so I'm just gonna blow them on things I think will be useful just before it hits. Plus, the changes to the Mage Trees (especially Arcane) are great. In fact, Arcane Barrage has pretty much single handedly made deep Arcane a really viable PvP spec, for the time being at least.

Living Bomb was a huge letdown since they nerfed its knockback. Now it just puts out crappy numbers and takes forever to detonate.

Mmmm Gloves of the Tempest <3

What server do you guys play on? Stormrage here. Anyone intrested in trying to get on the same server?

My rogue is 70 with alot of pvp gear. I've read absolutely nothing about the next expansion other then the Death Knight junk. But i've been told rogues get OP'ed with the new talents.

I have a 67 warrior on Burning Blade but I honestly don't know if I am going to get WotLK. Whats the point really? Its a fucking grind to level and get the gear and then what? You can own people in PvP? I don't really see how that will be satisfying, other than looking back and knowing I put X number of hours into it.

I play on Deathwing US, and no, i'm not leaving it.

"Rogue AOE" mean anything to you?

What a bunch of bullshit :p

I'm on Aman'Thul, a server so populated it's affectionately referred to as "Aman'Fail", "Aman'Lag", and any number of other witty "Aman'Blank"icisms that the Trade channel can muster.

Not planning on changing servers unless it's with my (new) guild though, since it's a joint effort of a bunch of my friends and I, and I wouldn't want to server jump without them :(

Who woulda thought, instance servers are still down!

That shit's ridiculous. Especially after a shutdown.

I have a 65 priest on stormrage i stopped using when a long while back.


horde btw

Better then Blade Fury? ( which i dont have cause i'm pvp rogue )

hell that will be nerfed in the first or second patch. they did shit like this with rogues when BC came out and everyone cried and it was nerfed right away.

I hope not, coz the other classes get equally cool shit. Mages get Mirror Image at level 80, which creates 3 copies of the Mage that chain cast Frostbolts at your target. Hell yeah.

I grinded Outlands over the weekend and got like 6 levels in 2 days. I remember before this patch that if most horde got the jump on me while I was fighting mobs I was done. Not anymore. The way they respecced the Fury tree for warriors is badass. If I get a hold of most toons they are done, especially clothies. Paladins are still a bitch though.

Dual wielding two handers ftw?

Yeah and I have shitty green ones. I was 66 and a 70 horde Lock started laying DoT spells on me when I was taking on 2 mobs. I turned, intercepted, hit him with bloodthirst, hamstring, he feared, I used heroic fury, intercepted again and toasted him with a critical.

Wow how badly geared was that Lock? Not that I mean any offense by it or anything, but I mean, there's a massive disparity in terms of gear thats available at level 70, so he must have either been terrible or in mostly greens and blues to be killed by a 67 :$

There's a Warrior crit spec?

this is like listening to a 10 year old tell me how cool disney charcters are like hannah montana...dude i dont mean to disrespect but, this made me laugh SO hard envisioning you saying all this in person at like 100MPH out of your mouth.

The Pre-Wotlk World event is pretty fun. To bad there's tons of idiots that have to ruin it for everyone and kill you when you become a Ghoul.

70 shaman
70 pally
62 priest that I'm waiting to level with my friend who's rolling DK

I ave to say, as a resto shaman... Riptide is pretty badass. I'm pretty glad tey decided to give us that rather than spirit link or whatever. Don't get me wrong, Shamans are still a joke but def a good start to recovery.

I don't even like to play my ret pally much cause it's just too retardely OP and easy.

Excited about getting my priest up though after wotlk comes out. Shadow is a really awesome spec now. Mana efficiency is tits.

Whatever man, I'll stick to my Diablo 2 because I am a huge nerd.
