Wrath of the Lich King

[RBM]

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'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.
