I'd take the ability to crit for lol with MS over spinning about like a pillock.

Arms is great for lower gear and 1 vs 1 targets.

Fury is usually for PVE and requires a lot of good gear to be effective.

Can you get any resliance gear? Or is that your first 80?

i'm a 60, first char..still a noob so any direction would ge great.. :)

At what point do you switch from strength gems to armor pen gems if any? My armor pen currently is around 45% or so.

My understanding is that you aim for soft cap (~725) and then stack strength past that point (maintaining expertise and hit caps obviously). When you get to higher levels of gear you'll try for 100% passive armor penetration and you'll be using trinkets like DBW and Sharpened Twilight Scale or Death's choice and geming for strength.

Leveling an enhancement shaman was the most fun I've ever had with any character. Well, at least up to lvl 70. I did the whole 70-80 leveling through instances while on rested xp, and now I'm resto/ele-off-spec. :/

Wish I could say I share in that enjoyment. But I personally find it the slowest and most boring. Shaman while you're leveling is so underpowered it isn't even funny.

hey I was wondering is it a good time to start playing wow or should I wait for cataclysm? I have only played the wow trial a few years back.

I think you should try it now. See how the game is before it gets it's face lift.

If you're a warrior with a dual wielding fury spec, you really don't need that much hit. Armor Pen and Expertise are far more important. You just want to hit the soft hit cap so about 250 hit should be good.

so did warriors get the short straw in battlegrounds? i started playing athari basin at level 59 and pretty much got destroyed whenever i come into contact with the enemy... i still shot up to level 60 in 3 battles so should i bother playing now as i'll be playing with 60-69, i'll be even worse.

What spec are you? I'm pretty sure my fury char would get destroyed compared to arms. Also are you wearing pvp gear?

check out my character here: http://eu.wowarmory....ramar&cn=Forcer

any advice would be great :)

Surely arms is a better leveling spec due to your lack of hit? It also means you only need 1 decent weapon not two.

i did have arms but was told from some guys on the WoW to go with fury for whirlwind and dual wield.

just wanted to gather this as i could really do with some help. :)

i just entered outland (only to buy a flying mount to find it can't be used outside of that continent :(... but wow, i cant wait)

This. Don't forget to take dual spec and learn to tank too. That'll boost you through the levels.

You can use it in Northrend once you hit lvl 77 and buy cold weather flying. Also when cataclysm drops, we will be able to fly in azeroth

[Spookie]

You forgot to mention Azeroth flying costs 5k (free if you have any sort of 310% mount).

[the evn show]

You forgot to mention Azeroth flying costs 5k (free if you have any sort of 310% mount).

In cataclsym it works like this:

• At level 20 you can learn to ride a horse, 60% speed increase. 4g (reduced by reputation)
  
• At level 40 you can learn to ride a fast horse, 100% speed increase. 50g (reduced by reputation)
  
• At level 60 you can learn to fly, 150% speed increase in air, 100% on land. Flying mounts work as land mounts everywhere and can fly in Azeroth and Outland. 250g (reduced by reputation)
  
• At level 70 you can learn to fly fast, 280% speed increase in air, 100% on land. Any flying mount you had before now operates at 280% speed. 5000g (reduced by reputation)
  
• At level 77 you can learn cold-weather flying which allows all of your flying mounts to fly in Northrend. Costs 1000g.
  
• At level 80 you are allowed to purchase a tomb of cold weather flying - you can mail this book to another character on your account and they can use it to learn to fly in Northrend at level 68. Costs 1000g and performs exactly the same function as cold weather flying purchased from the trainer.
  
• At level 80 you can learn 'master riding' that increases the flight speed of all your flying mounts to 310% you don't have to buy or earn any new faster mount. Costs 5000g not reduced by reputation.
  

If you don't want to spend 5000g for the 280% to 310% speed increase then you don't have to and you won't be any worse off for it.

[Spookie]

If you don't want to spend 5000g for the 280% to 310% speed increase then you don't have to and you won't be any worse off for it.

If you've tried a 310% mount you'll know that you can't live without it. ;)

[*] At level 77 you can learn cold-weather flying which allows all of your flying mounts to fly in Northrend. Costs 1000g.

[*] At level 80 you are allowed to purchase a tomb of cold weather flying - you can mail this book to another character on your account and they can use it to learn to fly in Northrend at level 68. Costs 1000g and performs exactly the same function as cold weather flying purchased from the trainer.

With Northrend becoming a pure leveling zone (like Outland now), hopefully they'll change this for newer players, so they can start flying at 70. Not a big deal to players with mains already, but new players/new accounts I'm sure plenty of people would like this change.

When I first got beta it was bugged and I didn't realize it: I was flying around on my 280 speed carpet rather than my noisy 310 glory drake.

I just assumed all mounts were 310 by default (they weren't) and didn't notice the difference at all even after I bought 310 speed form the trainer.

It's less than a 10% increase in speed (280/310 = 0.9) it's just not that big of a deal.

[PixilEyes]

Evn. Could you link me to your chars?

[Alladaskill17]

Last night in my first ICC 25 man EVER I got this Deathbringer's Will !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ICC 25 is not that hard as i thought. Well i do have Deadly Boss Mods installed :p

WHOHOOOO

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Tortheldrin&cn=Pixileyes

I'm loving this char.

ICC25 isn't that hard, but I'll go ahead and assume its even easier than you thought because you walked in with a 30% 'skill lulz buff'

310% is great once you have it, hard to go back; especially with Crusader Aura + Aura Mastery ;)

No, flying in Azeroth will be free of charge.

My priest is really the only one I'm happy with. My alts rarely get played any more apart to make a bit of gold and you wouldn't find them interesting.

[Minifig]

They haven't said that's for sure yet, but they've thought about it.

I'm wondering if the 310% increase will affect Druid's flight forms too.

[DrunkenBeard]

Hey,

After dinging 80 on my druid I felt the experience became very dull. Doing HCs all day to get Triumph/Frost to get gear so you can do Raids to get gear to do more Raids ... nah, not for me. So, I thought ok I'm gonna do it the slow way and enjoy it, now I'm looking for cool achievements, stuff to do. Do you have any suggestions for me ? Maybe the Loremaster achievement, in which case what's the most fun zone to begin quest-farming in Azeroth ? (I'm a Night Elf).

I really just wanna go hunting achievements, helping lowbies and doings HCs in between :)

Thanks :)

PS : I know that Loremaster is gonna change come Cata and I don't care tbh.

PS 2 : In a completely unrelated question, if you acquire an item that is exclusive to a profession (like a tailor flying carpet), do you keep it even if you drop said profession ?

[Minifig]

I'd recommend picking this up for loremaster: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/everyquest.aspx

[the evn show]

The Dungeon set 2, AQ 40, and Onyxia attunement quest chains won't be available in Cataclysm - you should do those now (plus dungeon set 2 is bad-ass hardcore gear).

All profession rewards require you to have the appropriate profession in order to use it. If you enchant your rings and then drop enchanting then you'll loose the stats, spellpower, etc from the enchant. It still appears on the gear but it's not active until you relearn the profession and level it again. The same is true for other items: they break the way you'd expect them too.

[Slane]

AQ 40

Looks like I need to finish that rep then.

[Rigby]

Looks like I need to finish that rep then.

I've been on that quest chain forever and still haven't gotten around to finishing it. I'm on the part where you have to collect scarab shells (or something like that) for rep, it's soooo boring. Doing some AQ runs would speed things up a lot but it's near impossible finding anyone to do the old raids these days.

I also just read that they are doing away with keys altogether, so no more keyring. I wish they would stop taking stuff out of the game and dumbing it down. A five year old could get to level 80 at this point. :(

your left and right clicking a mouse. A 5 yr old should be able to do it no matter what.
