EDIT: I was writing this before you posted, Mario. My bad.

Most people on my server want 5.2k gs min, which sucks. My warrior is at 5.3k (might be 5.4k now, but idk), and I personally thing the gs system is pretty stupid. The principle is nice, but people use it like it is a god, and over-hype requirements.

I was wondering why you were using nevermelting ice, but I guess that makes sense if there is no alternative. I never thought about it giving universal crit, to be honest.

Your expertise is like, freakishly low though, girl. It'd probably raise your dps hundreds, if not a thousand, if that was at 26 instead of 8.]]>

Unresolved

Quests


Spiritual Insight - An event is supposed to trigger when you throw the incense onto the brazier. It doesn't happen.

Strengthen the Ancients - You're supposed to be able to talk to the Woodlands Walkers to get an item or to enter combat for this quest, and although the tooltip shows up, you cannot talk to them.

The liquid Fire of Elune - You're supposed to kill blighted elk and blighted bears with liquid fire of elune after they're killed. After killing and applying the stuff, nothing happens and I don't get credit, when I should be.





NPCs



General

Sometimes when fleeing mobs, or defeating a mob, you cannot get 'out of combat'. I've found that hearthing works to get rid of this. Sometimes it will go away on its own once you get a very lengthy distance away, much longer than what is normal. I've added the .combatstop command which should allow you to exit combat if you get stuck.


Resolved



Quests
A Father's Words - NPC that you're supposed to turn the quest into disappears once you're out of the fog. Fog now continues properly, tested and confirmed.

NPCs

Nagojut - at the bottom of Moa'ki harbor sea bed, when he should be on the docks. The tool icon comes up as an anvil, but he is non-interactable. Both Nagojut and Aumanil should actually be on the turtle boat, but for now are on the docks just before you get onto the boat

We're doing our Cataclysm preview on the death knight changes later this week, but we knew one change risked overshadowing all the others, so we figured we'd go ahead and drop the proverbial Blood bomb today.

In Cataclysm, death knights will have a dedicated tanking tree, much like the other three tank classes. That tree will be Blood.

We’ll go into more detail in the upcoming preview, but we wanted to take the opportunity to explain the reasoning for such a big change.

Why the about face? We actually thought the “tri tank” experiment worked out okay. We suspected there would always be a “best” tanking tree, because that’s the way these things shake out, but we hoped it would be close enough that many players could tank with their favorite tree. When we tried out this design for Wrath of the Lich King, we were using it as a test case to see if we wanted to do similar things with the warrior and paladin talent trees.

A lot has happened since that time. We introduced the dual-spec feature, allowing players to have a tanking spec and dps spec that they could switch between. We introduced Dungeon Finder, which makes it easier to find players who want to tank, and even let players level up using a dedicated tank spec. In Cataclysm, we are introducing the concept of passive talent tree bonuses and we think that feature is a lot stronger when the talent tree has a particular focus (such as damage, tanking or healing). For example, it’s safer to give more passive damage to a tanking tree than we can a dps tree. Above all, we were just spending a lot of effort trying to balance three trees (though it was really six trees, since each tree was trying to do two things).

It started to feel unfair to the other tank classes that we had to spend so much effort tweaking three types of DK tanks, and it even started to feel unfair to the DK that we couldn’t focus their tanking experience. One bit of feedback that really struck home was the DK players who said, essentially, “I look at the Protection tree and I’m jealous of all of the cool tools they have to help their tanking. As a DK, I have to pick and choose tanking talents from within a sea of dps talents.” Rather than have a strong focus, the trees felt a little watered down because they were trying to do so much. With Frost as a dual-wield, spell and runic power focused tree, Unholy as a disease and minion focused tree, and Blood as a self-healing, defensive cooldown, tanking tree, we think the focus of each tree is a lot clearer and cooler.

In Cataclysm, Blood will be the death knight version of a Protection tree. It will have passive talent tree bonuses that reflect tanking. It will have tools, such as a Demo Shout equivalent, necessary for tanking. Several of the more fun tanking talents from Frost and Unholy will be moved into Blood. We will be able to revise (or even remove) clunky mechanics like Rune Strike and focus on letting DKs generate threat with their normal Blood tanking rotation.

This is major change, and we understand it will be met with some disappointment from players who really liked the flexibility, those who appreciated the unorthodox talent tree design, or those few of you who really liked Blood dps. Nevertheless, we are convinced that this is the right change for the game.

3.3 Patch Notes:

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnote...notes.html

Anyways, post some things you are excited about in 3.3.

Personally I'm excited for this one:

Default Equipment: Starting weapons are now more uniform. Rogues now start with a pair of daggers equipped. All other classes except shamans start with a 2-handed weapon equipped and the required skill already known. Shamans start with a 1-handed weapon and a shield, as they benefit more from the shield than they would from a 2-handed weapon.

About damn time.]]>
