You say Yogg was easy and all about stacking affliction warlocks? To a degree yes, but you were obviously a ranged and never went down below if you think that was all there was to it. And M'uru is about 100x less execution than these fights, it was all about stacking classes and getting enough damage. Every wave was the same, interrupt, kill, interrupt kill. Phase 2? Spread and don't get hit by balls.. man that was so hard and complex.. oh wait. Just to add to this, Heroic LK was never killed until the buff reached 5%. | ||

That's why they are doing Mists of Panderia, to pad for time since the major storylines of the original games have concluded. In an expansion or two, the only major villain left will be Sargeras. Once he gets taken down as an inevitable Raid Boss, there won't be much left to resolve in the Warcraft Universe. Kind of a shame considering how much I enjoyed the lore prior to WoW, but that's how these things go, I guess. Azshara, N'Zoth, 1 other unnamed Old God, Kil'Jaeden, etc. | ||

The Cataclysm has caused the mists protecting Pandaria to wear away, exposing it to the rest of Azeroth. A particularly fierce naval battle between the Alliance and Horde goes bad and both sides are shipwrecked and end up on the shores of Pandaria. This causes them to carry their war over there, and with it all the anguish and hatred. This stirs up something nasty in the land, and great aspects of this bad will rise and cause problems. The Alliance and Horde, with the aid of the Pandaren must go on one of those soul searching, Zen journeys to settle this is and work out what they really need to be fighting for. Holy shit Reading this makes me think this expansion has everything to be awesome lore-wise. Cataclysm kinda... weakened the whole war thing. I can see horde and alliance going into this quest thing where at a point, they will question themselves why are they fighting eachother(represented by varian/garrosh). Then they mention what one took from the other, insults fly out, and they decide it was time for a full-on attack to the enemy city. Then we get two raids. One for Horde. One for Alliance. The final bosses? Varian and Garrosh. | ||

Both are somewhere in the "abyss" and waiting for the final fight. Didn't blizzard say there were to be 2 expansions more, MoP and one more. I think it would make sense, WoW is getting really old. That said, I wonder when they'll make WoW F2P(as they have hinted that it will be eventually). | ||

Saying that the talent system dumbs down the game is entirely wrong. No one spends hours picking a spec. Even a monkey could pick an effective spec under any previous (and current) iteration of the talent system. Picking a good talent spec is not a indication of skill. Virtually everyone, noob or pro, is capable of picking the most optimal spec. The new system is not as simple as throwing darts at the talent tree. Some talent choices may require you to adapt your playstyle to maximize effectiveness. So if you throw darts at the talent tree but you're not changing up your playstyle depending on the random choice of talents that the darts have selected, then you're a suboptimal player. The idea that all talents are useless in raiding because they add utility, not DPS, is the thinking of bads. Bads have the erroneous mindset that in raids, DPS only cares about DPS, healers only care about healing, and tanks only care about survivability. But if you read what raiders from world-first raiding guilds have to say, they understand, it's not just about DPS, utility and survivability and cooldowns for DPS specs are very important to progression raiding. Also, the new glyph system whereby most major glyphs are not an unambiguous power-up, but rather take away one thing to give you another, is ingenious game design. | ||

Your post is 100% accurate and i agree 100% the old talent system is no different to this one. If anything these new talent systems are going to require you ro have dual talents up for 1 spec, i.e mages having both both talents for damage absorbtion in some fights and extra dps when they can stand still in others. I think Panda is on course to be as good as TBC expansion was and felt with how much new stuff came into the game, so i am looking forward too it. Currently, waiting 15-60minutes for Optimization to finish fml ;; | ||

http://elitistjerks.com/f80/ I'm soooo lost. I can't find any. But I thought they'll just come up with new optimal cookie cutter builds which everyone will copy. Oh noes -- the MoP talent system is a SUCCESS! | ||

There's people(who've been playing through whole cata) saying "omg this patch sucks". Could this actually mean Blizzard has got something right and MoP might actually be the expansion we want? | ||
