Posts with tag 1.9

Today was the day that my Paladin had been dreading for what seems like forever; the long-awaited changes to the class that came with patch 1.9. I had been through all this before with my Hunter a few months back, and although that had been pretty painless, I still didn't quite know what to expect.

I had read all about the changes, and agreed with most of them, but I still hadn't made up my mind how I was going to re-spec. I also lamented losing my nifty Consecrate AoE spell, that I had just gotten last week, but this afternoon, I dove right in & decided to go full Retribution, all the way. I figured it was closest to my previous playstyle, and will be the most versatile for PvP, which is what I tend to gear toward.

What about the rest of you Paladins out there? Which path did you choose? How do you feel about the changes so far? Chime in...

The fish in WoW seem to be becoming more studious, as they now appear together in schools after patch 1.9. Ok, that was a bad pun, but the new update has revamped the fishing system a bit, making it easier to find pockets of sought-after fish such as Firefin Snapper & Oily Blackmouth.

Only thing is...the fish might be in schools, but you're not learning a thing from it. That's not a pun, I'm trying to say that fishing seems to be broken for the time being; you can still catch stuff, but you won't gain any skill for it...at least not as of this writing.

Even so, the school system does make the whole skill a bit more rewarding; even though I love to sit back, cast a line & relax, those Blackmouth can be hard to come by sometimes. Glad to see 'em all in one place for once...
