But did I ever tell you about the time I got Deathcharger's Reins on my shaman's first and only Stratholme run?
Eoghannrua asked:
what are the chances the next patch will allow druid travel form to scale with riding skill ? or is it that its use in pvp will forever limit it to its current speed
Slim to none. Travel Form is not and was never intended to be a replacement for mounted travel. If it got a cast time and was unable to be used in combat, maybe, but that would take away everything good about Travel Form, no?
Timbob asked:
Why is Blizzard putting so much restrictions on Transmog?
The explanation is that it wants to get the feature out as fast as possible. The fact is that it's much less "painful" to players to simply not be able to do something than to be able to and then have it taken away. Ostensibly, the latter is the kind of situation that Blizzard is attempting to avoid. The developers did say that they're planning on building upon the feature over time, though.
Raymond Pelia asked:
Is it currently possible to collect the Dreadnaught set for my warrior, or any set from Old Naxx? Do you think Blizzard will make currently unavailable armor sets available in the future?
Blizzard reps said that currently unavailable armor sets will be obtainable in some way through the new Darkmoon Faire. Whether that includes tier 3 armor is unknown, but it seems likely.
Amaxe asked:
Now that I'm almost done leveling my mage to 85, the rogue is next on the list. Unfortunately my experience with the rogue in Northrend (she's level 75) involves a lot of being splatted by mobs.
Does anyone have suggestions/links for a talent build which is good for getting to 85 without my wanting to hurl the keyboard across the room?
Thanks in advance.
I personally prefer combat for leveling. It has a lot of great survivability talents as well as some decent power output. This talent build, available at level 80, gives you pretty much everything you need for leveling, but the crown jewel is really Deadly Momentum, which refreshes both Recuperate and Slice and Dice when you kill a mob. You'll probably want to get rid of it once you hit max level, though.
Stabaa asked:
In lore, what is it that holds the Forsaken together physically. Like we see warriors with no knees tanking end-game bosses without falling apart, so is it magical?
Think I may have read in a WoW roleplaying book that it's arcane power that animates the undead but RP books can't always be considered as cannon.
It's necromantic energy, which is a form of arcane magic.

If you want to go there, I could tell you about the time two friends and I went to ZG and the Raptor dropped, then we went to heroic Sethekk Halls and Anzu dropped, then we went to Heroic MGT and the White Hawkstrider dropped, all on the same night.

As for a question, why is it that every druid we save fighting in the Molten Front for the daily quest is a Tauren or Night Elf? I've never seen a Worgen or Troll among them. Lore reason i'm missing, or just an oversight?
Scottay Aug 28th 2011 12:16PM
Lore-wise, worgen and troll druid are still very new. I think 've seen one worgen druid, but i have still to see a troll druid. They're still new, and i'm sure they wont have the same amount of experience as many night elven and tauren druids do, so that's why, as far as I know.
dartheranul Aug 28th 2011 12:20PM
You don't see them, because the Druids you save are from the Cenarion Circle. If any Trolls and/or Worgen have joined the Circle, then the chance is quite slim to actually see any at the Front. If any were dispatched there at all.
Joshuasiclest Aug 28th 2011 12:23PM
Ive seen both troll and druid during the roost quests as helpers
Lavindar Aug 28th 2011 12:28PM
There's a lot more Kaldorei and Shu'halo than Gilneans or Darkspears in tge Cenarion Circle, so theres less worgens and trolls there, but they are present.
Ringo Flinthammer Aug 28th 2011 12:31PM
There are both troll and worgen druids you save in the "flying druid fell down and went boom" quest.
Jack Mynock Aug 28th 2011 12:36PM
There's a great quest series in WP that features a *very* rookie troll druid.
Killik Aug 28th 2011 12:40PM
There are loads of trolls and worgen druids around the Molten Front, just perhaps not as wounded targets for the healing quest.
Sleutel Aug 28th 2011 2:18PM
Okay, that definitely tops the night that we got the tiger from ZG followed by the hawkstrider from MT.
llcjay2003 Aug 28th 2011 2:21PM
Last night 3 of us went to AQ40. All 3 of us left with all of the bug mounts. Yes, even the red one. It was magical. I bought a lotto ticket. Apparently, in-game luck does not transfer to the real world. Curses.
grizz Aug 28th 2011 2:40PM
picked up Al'ar in five runs of TK. :D
Nathanyel Aug 28th 2011 4:58PM
There's a druid team with a member of each race that patrols from the Sanctuary of Malorne to the Whistling Grove and then fly back. In fact, they are the starter zone druid trainers and greet druids of their race accordingly :)
Darias.Perenolde Aug 28th 2011 6:03PM
Because Trolls and Worgens are more hardcore? Something to do with their dental enhancements.
Goodk4t Aug 28th 2011 11:45PM
Chances are mix of place and origin: Troll and Worgen druids are new to lore, while the Hyjal is a sacred place. Most likely they only recruited the most powerful (and thus, oldest) druids. That also may be the reason why you see more Night Elves than Taurens too.

@Grizz I got Ashes of Al'ar my first kill :o).... Yes everyone hates me for it!
Newchron Aug 29th 2011 2:44PM
My Mage got the Death Charger first time soloing Stratholme at 80. Also the green Proto-Drake within 5 eggs. My Warrior received BOTH bindings of the Windseeker in one (of MANY) MC run. Both! I almost shat myself!
Bobby Earl Aug 30th 2011 1:35AM
I got the Reins of Poseidus about 15 minutes after first reading about it on Wowhead. Figured I'd fly over and check it out. NPCscan dinged while over the first spawn spot I came to. Got some nice Corefire legs for my pally from it too.
Alexran Aug 28th 2011 12:07PM
Why do people think Blizz is against new hero classes? In the Cataclysm FAQ, they flat out say they are planning on adding more.
Alexran Aug 28th 2011 12:09PM
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/faq/ Scroll down to the 6th question from the bottom.
We are not planning to add a new Hero class in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. For this expansion, it was more appropriate to focus on the two new races, the goblins and worgen. We never intended to include a Hero class in every expansion. As you saw with death knights, adding a new class changes the dynamics of the game dramatically, which is not something we want to do in every expansion. WE STILL HAVE PLANS TO INTRODUCE NEW HERO CLASSES IN THE FUTURE.
