That's the way I roll.

Buckle up. Tonight's going to be a wild ride with all the new talent info out.

This.

We consider being GCD locked a bad thing. It doesn't give you any room in your rotation to say click a potion or respond to a proc or do something out of the ordinary. It leads to tunnel vision.


We haven't done much with Critical Block as mastery yet because the level cap on the beta is so low and raid content isn't available to publicly test yet. As we get closer we'll put some better numbers on it.

Holy paladins are changing in Cataclysm probably more than you realize.

We want Regrowth to feel like the flash heal. It will need to change a little to fit in that model (more up front and less hot perhaps) but it doesn't also need to feel exactly like Flash Heal to do the job.

Only Fury warriors will dual-wield in Cataclysm. The Arms tree is completely built around using a two-handed weapon and the Prot tree is completely built around using a shield. There is no reason to dual-wield in those trees.

Western Plaguelands is ready for testing. Please keep all feedback in this thread.

• Level 35-40
• Breadcrumbs from Hinterlands

Please list the level you started the zone at and the level you ended the zone at.

Deepholm is ready for testing. Please keep all feedback in this thread.

• Level 82-83
• Breadcrumbs from Stormwind/Orgrimmar.

Please list the level you started the zone at and the level you ended the zone at.

Level cap is now 83.

The drop rate for Crystallized Fire from Titanium nodes has not been altered.

The number of battlegrounds have grown over the years, and soon even more of them will be added to the game. Until that happens though, how does your list of battlegrounds look like if you had to rate them from most to least favoured?

Lethan of Defias Brotherhood has also created a FAQ, this one being about Cataclysm in general. It is quite an extensive FAQ and it answers the most commonly asked questions about Cataclsysm, so be sure to check it out.

Toki of Argent Dawn has posted a neat little Crowd Control Guide, which should prove particularly useful to budding PvP'ers. In this guide you can find a list of various crowd control abilities of different classes, and also information on how to counter some of said abilities.
