WoW: Wrath of the Lich King

[OrcishIncubus]

level 80... hm...

and the new hero class are finally being added...

I peed a little. It all seemed a bit soon to me... I haven't even gotten to 70 yet!! Hehe! Hopefully there will be more than one hero class.

[OrcishIncubus]

Yeah, it is pretty soon... sooner than I'd like, but there's features that have been a long time coming.  They've been talking about adding the hero class for HOW long and they're finally going to implement it?

But... my guild leader think WoW will start going downhill if the hero class is released cause it just sounds like an over-powered class.  I agree with her ... but it all depends on how long they take from releasing the other hero classes, or if they plan to release them all at once, cause if they do... then I think it'll make it worth it.  At least I pray they release all the classes at once.

The hero class will be unlockable... you don't start as a level one death knight.  There's something you'll have to do at 80 to get the class activated, and then you'll start out at like 55, 60 or 70... It'll be something like a quest... example is the paladin or warlock or druid mount.

The inscription profession looks nifty... they really haven't released enough to know everything it's capable of, but from they have... it's a nifty idea.

IN-GAME VOICE CHAT. OMG. FINALLY. I remember hearing about this coming out a few months back... but never any indication as to WHEN.... .... oh god this will be so nice, no more Vent and worries how we're going to effin' raid when our Vent server is being crappy.... (Try downing Shade of Aran with no vent.... freaking hard as hell.. but possible.)

What the hell are you talking about? It sound as if you are speaking in tongue. Teach me your WoW-jutsu. I'm happy about this expansion though. Death Knight sounds like a fun job. I just hope you don't have to take part in some high-level raid to unlock it. :|

Chances are I'll reactivate my account once this comes out.
When BC arrived I hit 70 within 2 weeks, progressed a bit in Kharazan, and then lost interest.
But, the release of a hero class does intrigue me so...

[nightolm]

Yea, I'd be tempted to restart my account as well with the release of this, course my friends are looking at setting up a free wow server, so I'm not sure if I can truely be tempted back.

SWEET INGAME CHAT!!!!

[nikita]

Dammit....oh well, I'll probably buy it eventually D:

I can think of a few...

Demon Hunter

Far Seer

Arch-mage

Blademaster

Just about anything that was in Warcraft III as a hero class.... of course there are a few that just wouldn't work like a crypt lord...

However, what irks me about the hero class is supposedly any class or race can become one, I think they should apply limitations, for example, a demon hunter can only be a hunter, or a rogue.  A far seer can only be a shaman, maybe druid (kinda awkward for a druid though). Arch-mage would be mage, and a blademaster could be an orc rogue, warrior or possibly an enhance shaman... (daggers or fisties. )

I think it will, but probly not anything top end.  If at most, a raid through the new Naxxramas...

But I think it will require at least a ten-man raid.

The warlock and paladin mount required an extensive run through here or there, ending at a DM run.  But back in the day when you had to run Scholo, you could raid it with ten people.  Yet, now of course, that is impossible.

The druid epic flight form.... good god... requires enough for the quest, let alone the 5k you still have to provide for the training...

I think thats what they will be doing.... right... i mean it would be kinda stupid for a mage... with cloth items to become a blade master..... and kinda dangerous for a warrior or paladin to become something as dps crazy as a arch mage....

though the only death knights i could see... would be pallys...  maybe... if you stretch it alot warlocks....

This expansion is gonna rock so hard...youll probably bleed your brain out your nose.

Seriously...I may have to work harder to lvl my shaman, im only lvl 50 and i still haven't gotten to outlands on my 56 warrior.

Arthas? Dalarans return? Modify your spells? Can you say...Elemental Mastery with 3 charges?

[Ciet]

I'm looking forward to it, but I don't think we'll actually see the expansion until next spring at the earliest.

Dude, I'm totally considering dropping mining for Inscription.  Right now my shaman is JC/mining (woot draenei) ... and she makes a good deal of cash from it... but like... say if inscription fixed windfury for dual-wielding... or something along those lines.  I'll be... WOOT!

Oh yeah, and enhancement shamans are getting a huge buff in the expansion.  I'll post some pictures in a bit....(Edit: posted.)  We melee shamans might actually be able to challenge an elemental shaman in damage output, which would be a very nice change.


Since the pictures are a little large, I'm posting them as links..

basically what that all does is... gives our shocks more damage.  As an enhancement shaman, I'm spamming stormstrike as much as possible, and sense I'm enhance... I have a major focus on str, AP and crit gear.... the only thing spell damage is my healing set or my new toy, [Hammer of the Naaru]...

Essentally, my stormstrike is kinda wasted on me cause the only extra damage is from stormstrike, but would be tons more beneficial to an elemental shaman or a boomkin (wrath or lightning, two of my element shaman friends have gotten like 4k-5k or 6k crits with stormstrike and chain lightning)

But my AP is around... 1100 unbuffed... receiving a percentage of spell damage based off of that... stormstrike won't be wasted anymore by me... and I'll be doing a shit-ton more damage...

Plus, mental quickness will actually have a purpose to spec into, as I'm 19/42/0 right now... and I have no use for mental quickness... I don't lose enough mana from spamming totems for the rogues or tanks (depending on the fight and what group I'm in.  Tanks love me for agility totem cause of the extra dodge, rogues love me for windfury and agility totem)  and if I get a spell crit, I get reduced mana cost from clearcasting, so yeah.  Mental quickness is a bullshit talent.  It's only worth putting the points into if you're fully enhancement, like around 45 points, but I can almost guarantee you'll get more use out of speccing into either elemental or resto, instead of 45+ points into enhancement...


It also brings up the question to me.... is two-handed maces and axes going to be baseline now?  cause that focused talent is in the same spot as two-handed weapons...

Hehe, it also helps that I'm the only raidable 70 shaman in the guild right now too, which will soon change cause we have two 68s ... close to 70 in the guild.... but as is, most mail gear goes to me.. >.> you'd think my dkp would be in the negative, but it isn't.  Not enough mail gear drops, and I'm not too big of a fan of picking up elemental gear, regardless if I can use it.  .... of course that didn't keep me from getting the Big Bad Wolf Head for healing gear... XD
