[WoW] Cataclysm Megathread - 4.3 out, I AM FROM THE FUTURE

[evlcookie]

As a lowbie tank, i've find instances to be just about instant. Which is nice but i'm too afraid to tank

Does anyone know if there are any "social" guilds on horde side cael? I'm Wondering if they even exist.

Come to jubei, there's at least 1 for every 2 people on the realm.

Tanking is easy when you find the EZmode macros.
I dont understand why DPS classes with the ABILITY to tank dont do so and whine about it.
OH MY DPS Q TIMES ARE SO LONG, Um aint you a DK/Druid/Pally/War
Same with healers...

Just renewed after not playing for about 12-18 months. Everything so much more confusing now because they have made so many little changes and I can't remember things as simple as working out which letter brings up the Achievement tab (hahaha...).

Anyone have any tips? I played for about 2 hours last night... loaded up on frost talents, did some archaeology, sold a portal for 40g and logged out again. Recommendations on where I should level first zone-wise? Or any other tips for someone who has been out of the game?

The cities have big noticeboard things (I think they're called Hero's Call or something?) that give you the 2 starter quests for cata. One will take you to Hyjal, one will take you to Vashjir, they are both 80-82 zones, so you can do whichever you like (I chose hyjal, and its pretty awesome ).

All my mains are actually on jubei. I rerolled horde on failstrasz since i had a few mates who were going to join. The main guy who was going to hook us up with gold if we needed it (we don't really) hit 85 and switched to alliance to raid with his old mates. So there's maybe a handful, if that who are left leveling up at random times. Some are already at a higher level than others so it's really messed up and the guild feels empty. If we can all jump into a larger social guild then it might be less empty and dull for those who are new to the game.

I'm sure i could go back to jubei and level up my priest, dk, rogue, or warlock. Good chance i will actually level up the priest since i think i was born to be a healer . I don't mind the melee aspect of my warrior and tanking seems interesting, but it doesn't seem like it was a good fit for me. I'm going to try and trudge through the next 37 levels and see how it goes.

I'm sure davorulez would love to have me be a casual priest in his guild back on jubei ;D

These hotfixes were intentional and we wanted to share more information about the "why" for you all here:

Mana is supposed to matter for healers, and in the case of Holy paladins, that just wasn’t happening. We were seeing raid groups attempting to learn new bosses where the other healers were out of mana while the paladins were still at 90% of mana. We also thought the experience of paladins healing harder heroic dungeons was inconsistent with that of other healers, or our design intent. We thought it was only a matter of time before groups started going out of their way to stack paladins for raids or recruit them for dungeon runs, which of course is not our intent. For this reason, we thought it was important to address this point now rather than sitting on it until a future patch.

The main culprit for the increased paladin efficiency this was Holy Power from Tower of Radiance. We were seeing a strategy develop where paladins would cast Holy Light on a Beaconed tank, and then cast Light of Dawn on the raid (and use very few other spells). This strategy was remarkably successful considering how simple it is. The Holy Power-based heals are supposed to be an important component of the paladin kit, but because Holy Light is designed to be super efficient, the overall strategy was too efficient. The intent of Tower of Radiance was to make directly healing a Beacon of Light target less punitive, but instead it was becoming the only smart way to play. You can still generate Holy Power by using Flash of Light or Divine Light on a Beaconed target, or through a variety of other ways. Remember, overall it isn’t balanced if paladins are just as mana efficient as other healers and have several mana-free spells.

Light of Dawn was adjusted because it was completely eclipsing Word of Glory. We lowered the healing of Word of Glory late in development, but also redesigned Light of Dawn. They had fallen out of sync, and Light of Dawn was just too good.

no class crys like pallys. I bet the tears will fill an ocean



I'm just poking fun pallys, settle down. All classes cry the same :P

Yes.

Level that mining first. Sell all the cata ore for around 250G per 20 stack. You will make a killing. Usually around 2500-5000G per hour depending in how many miners are hitting your farm spot.
