 Too bad they ruined undead face accesories in the new model. Previously you could have the area around mouth gray which made you look sinister, but they decided to replace it with a piece of shit (literally) making it brown. WTF. On the other hand I really like orc and dwarf models, especialy awesome dwarf beards! | ||

I'm a PvP player and played my mage mainly in TBC when they were terrible. Still enjoyed it more than any other class though only DK coming close. | ||

Still, mage dps is looking pretty good. I'm having lots of fun atm lol. And yeah, TBC was a really terrible period for mages  | ||

Probably WotLK release is the only time that comes to mind, and that's because DK's were so ahead of the other classes. | ||

Wow this is for real? I resubbed earlier this month (after about a year away) for the sole purpose of checking out the beta key I got -_- (went to the NA Blizzcon qualifiers for the Hearthstone, stayed for the WoW) At least the game seems pretty fun, healing is slower-paced and strategic, and they brought back motherfucking Skirmishes! I used to queue for that all the time before they removed em for whatever reason, and it looks like it's even better now! It was a little silly to queue as a disc and have your random 2s partner be a resto druid or something... ("Welp, looks like I'm on chain mana burn duty") I've never tried flex raids or RBGs, so that might be another thing to keep the game interesting if I buy the expansion (I'm not gonna hold out hope that the story won't be garbage) | ||

On that one i'd agree. Not walking into fire and other shit is not skill, nor is blowing CDs, no matter the class. There's only two ways to use them: blow them as quick as possible to get a second, or a third cd-reset on it, or line it up with some form of vulnerability of bosses where they take more damage - maybe line them up with BR. That's it. Apart from that, ask a pre 6.0.2 feral if he'd agree on "rotation doesn't need skill". Not that the decisionmaking (snapshotting, cp for rip, sr, pooling energy for thrash/enough energy or cds to get a fb off and rebuild enough cp for 5cp rip etc) would be still in the game, since you don't apply DoTs apart from rake anymore (rip hits like a wet noodle now). In my mind, positioning and snapshotting is/was skill. Basically, reacting to a dynamic situation. Sadly, also removed.

Do it again, you can oneshot (edit: rather, global) them now (supernova). Was quite surprised when my character got deleted. Note: rogues went back to vanilla-kind of playstyle, if you don't have a CD/trinket, you'll go from 100% to 0% in a stunlock. Ferals kinda do the same, 5cp FB now crits for roughly 45k on people in full prideful (is resilience not working?). | ||

edit: feels restrictive now, and was absolutely unnecessary (never heard anybody complain about chosing a druidform being too complicated oO). | ||

Any time you have a narrative that's this strongly affected by in-game mechanics, you are bound to flawed storytelling. | ||
