Wrath of the Lich King !

For me the price is where it should be.

I am amazed at the inbalance in PvP since patch 3.0.2 was released, apparantly the extra 10 talent points will balance the game much more.
There are some things that just stagger me though.

-----WoW Speak-----

Apparantly Ret palas have been nerfed....i can still die before the initial 6sec stun wears off and as a rogue i cannot beat a half decent one.
Mages do way too much damage and are pretty much destroying any class with a 3 button combo that can do 8-9k in a few seconds.
Warriors Bladestorm is too short a cooldown for what it is, consider its a better spell than the Warrior 30min cooldowns and you see the problem.
Rogue 51 point talents: No one uses Hunger For Blood, Killing Spree is a very small damage boost for an end talent and Shadowdance is horribly bugged.
Hunters need MAJOR buffing (i dont play one)
Feral druids and Prot warriors doing more damage than Rogues should never happen

-----End WoW Speak-----

These are just the things i notice as a Rogue. I really hope the level 80 PvP isnt as bad, i only play for PvP nowadays and its not been fun at all post patch.

Heya,

$15 a month I'm not spending.

Clearly, I'm not a fan. And I played enough to have a lvl60 Paladin. I never felt like I played such a pointless game considering how long it takes to actually get through that game. Basically only worth while for the pvp, and it's bogus, GuildWars for free has better pvp. For the single player adventurers, it's something they can do for months on end, but frankly, I will never ever collect a bunch of hides, teeth or whatever else retarded junk they ask for to get a quest reward.

QQ.

Very best,

As a person who rolled a Shaman as soon as TBC came out i can tell you that DK area will be unplayable for about 2 days.

After that people will go back to their mains to experience the new content, rather than play through the old stuff again.

I wonder how it will work for horde / alliance on PvP servers, when they have the same start location?

In response to pr2thej's comments on classes:

Hunter's actually tend to top damage meters in end-game raiding granted this is around t5/t6

As far as prot warriors out dpsing rogues this is due to the lack of skill on a rogue's part and is not about prot being OP (it was unclear in your post whether your had a problem with prot changes)

and a side comment on the "im not paying for a subscription" issue raised above.

WoW is not like any xbox/ps3 games. One of my best mates used to be a die hard wow player and no longer plays. he goes through maybe 2-4 xbox games per month where as i go through the same two! cod4 and WoW!

he cant help asking how wow is and sneaking peeks at my screen on laptop even though he has just bought the latest 360 game.

If your the type that couldnt stand playing one game then ya the small monthly fee would be costly but for me its great! roll on 72!

Ding 72! lol

i did get out dps'ed by a prot the other day on my ud rogue. i was outgeared and not even focused so im hoping that wont be a regular occurance. My old rogue usually topped dps, occasionally being beaten by a hunter but he again had more experience at raiding and better gear.

roll on 73!

You took the words right out of my keyboard.

already!?!?

I love the game and at one point a while back was pretty addicted with many hours being ploughed in but it seems nothing compared to some.

Someone in my guild said one of the first 80s on our server said he had an hour per nights sleep. fine if your an insomniac but id be ill if i got that much sleep 2/3+ nights in a rowe. lol

well on my old rogue (pre scam - s3 ud rogue). used to work most times. Just havent pvped much since being back. worked in a few 1v1s but not against the full s4 but with 35 resi i wasnt expecting much. lol.

Garrote>evasion>shiv (crippling)>rupture once a few cps have built up>move about 5 yards away (this is awsome when it works as the warrior is out of melee range but not far enough for him to charge/intercept) and you should get chance to restealth UNLESS he has been clever enough to throw blade/axe etc.

After all that it should be easy win cos warriors down to 50-70% health and usually im still full or near enough.

Not sure if this will still work

Kiting a pro warrior between the 5-8 Yd deadzone never works....he just turns round and walks the other way
Post 3.0.2 heres my strat...it requires about a minute of 1v1 time though so sucks in places like AV and EoS

CS>KS>Dismantle>Evasion>Vanish>Sap(diminished returns)>CS>KS>Blind>Restealth>Sap>CS>KS>Dismantle after a few secs.
If he aint dead then theres a serious gear gap. This worked on S3/4 with me as a lowly Green/Blue with S2 daggers

After all this i can literally hear the Warrior screaming how OP Rogues are from Brazil or wherever he is

Usually when a warrior comes out of the first set of stuns he will go for his Bladestorm aka I.W.I.N. Button, its pretty funny to watch em waste their most OP move when they have no wep equipped

Yes i am on Bloodfeather PvP Alliance, but since leaving my SWP Guild on Alonsus when 3.0.2 hit (2 years of end game is enough for me!) im kinda in limbo as to what i want to do in Wrath.
Dont really know anyone on Bloodfeather, so i might level on Horde Twilight Hammer, or xrealm to Ally Laughing Skull where i got some mates.
You can now xrealm PvE to PvP now btw if you didnt know

P.S. Dismantle will get nerfed for sure, 1min CD is really overpowered.

Remove hots - HfB 51 pt assassination physical
Cloak of Skills as well ofc for faerie fire, etc

I was gona say, ive not lost to a shammy yet as long as i keep control
My main PvE toon was a enh shammy, i know them very well.
The self heal you speak of is called Maelstrom Weapon, its the 45-50 Pt talent, requires 5/5 and allows an instant heal chance on melee hit. Its reactive so the Shammy has to click the button (ofc he cant if CC'd)

Since the spellpower change, self healing dpsers have been buffed so the heal will hit for 2-3k at 70. Still combining the warrior techniques there shouldnt be a prob.

For extra lol's dismantle a Huntard and watch him jump around like a moron without his bow
Arcane mages are insane in pvp, as the 51pt talent is instant cast that does 2500-4k damage on a 3 sec cooldown.
I think mages at the mo have the answer to anything. Openers are a real dilemma. If i KS they blink. If i ambush the resi reduces the damage to a tickle. If i Garotte, rupture then they Ice Block.
Catch em after a blink, or Iceblock though and its easy money

I still havent bought wotlk....slacker

ah right. Ye i meant the DKs skill to be able to remove a HoT from the target. dont remember what its called but sounds pretty good.

Still lots of DKs around but im starting to see fewer. Bit of a novelty to some i think.

I need to be able to work from home like i used to so i can get some decent hours put in cos at the moment im not getting many at all! (gf+work+going out = No wow time!)

At least rogues getting some rested tho

no i havent seen anyone in that guild because i only bought the account recently as a mate is on this server.

Old account got scammed and he pursuaded me to start again but after partially levelling a troll to 30 ish i couldnt take it anymore and went for this account. Ive done 3 chars to 70 so i deserve it. lol

I used to be on the pvp battlegroups (vashj, ragnaros etc).

Im thinking about getting my mate to move servers with me though because i just dont like this one. far too quiet and never seen a server lacking tanks as much as this one. got a tank for an instance the other day and he was the most arogant player ive ever met but no-one said anything cos tanks are demi-gods on BDF server! lol

im assuming Northrend is contested territory? i may just switch once im at 80 otherwise ill end up pvping instead of questing.

Im very much liking northrend so i would advise a purchase if you gonna stick to wow

Ye i do like a bit of world pvp but when its taking me sooo long for a level or two i need to focus on the grind. lol. i think deep down i want a bit of pvp though and will be great with eveyone having similar gear for a while too.

I agree tanks should be the boss and a bit arrogant thats why i couldnt be one. Im more of a "do what im told" player i think. This guy wasnt just arrogant though, he was a complete c**kmuncher! i said "anyone ever done a run with a pally tank called *****" and within seconds they were shouting out the abusive names he is also known as. Infamous on BDF server apparantly so i wasnt alone in thinking it. hehe

got my new pc upgraded for cod and wow so its running better than ever before for me and its surprising how much more fun i find it running 60+ fps at max settings rather than 30fps at min settings!

Just really badly want a decent flatscreen to run it on!

trying to figure out a way to run it from my pc but on my laptop screen (has a 20.1" crystalbrite display" but after a bit of tinkering it just doesnt want to do it. Ill play about again over the wknd if i can stopping grinding
