some of the stuff r better than BWL gear lehOriginally posted by NekoRin:Sadly to say our guild is also facing the same... alot of loot whores and many are choosing which raid to go to....sucks.
Yeah now many of the players are focused on BGs and PvP, mainly to get the items, they are much better than MC eq imo haha, since our guild is stuck at Razorgore now zzzzzz (due to the calling off of raid coz of lack of sufficient raiders, alot don't want to come zzzz)
but u will still need to raid if u wan other stuff like trinkets, etc, etc -
AgreedOriginally posted by the_don:some of the stuff r better than BWL gear leh

I prefer the weapons to the gear but I need to get the high warlord's chest piece. It better than my arcanist -
30% is not a lot if u consider the 3months people had to put in based on the old system. the current pvp system is still better than the old one.Originally posted by pwnz0r:Sad to say honor gain has been nerfed by 30% as compared to last week. I guess I won't pvp much on my main pally, as I am not so dedicated to doing so.
I should be pvp'ing more on my alt as the epic shoulders are much much more achieveable as compared to GM weapons.
finally blizzard gets something right -
ya. blizzard would never put all the good stuff in one basket.
like aq40, it is mainly for DPS. priests and protection warriors dun get much good gear from there. but the rest of the guild would wan to go since they would get an upgrade on dps gear
my baby mage is going for the blade and tome been drooling over it since the patch

Yes it is something right and better compared to the old one. But when you consider less than one month to chiong pvp or else it useless after TBC, you kinda become not so interested. Especially when GM was achieveable with casual PvP with last week honor gain system within that 1 month timeframe. Shot down by 30% makes casual PvP not so viable anymore within one month, when aiming for GM weapon. I'm not too keen to grind PvP that hard. If you gave me another 3 months until TBC will be released, then I would definitely be more keen.Originally posted by the_don:30% is not a lot if u consider the 3months people had to put in based on the old system. the current pvp system is still better than the old one.

I guess it depends on your current gear. My paladin is nicely outfitted so it becomes not so critical.
But for my warrior, getting the epic shoulders - only 12k+ honor is easy with casual pvp. I'm quite comfy with my paladin's current equipment - within 64-65, you'll find nicer blues/greens as compared to current in-game epics. I'm kinda aiming to equip my warrior alt with almost full 60 epics, so far my plans is highly achieveable within the next one month with 20 man run rewards and drops and the Epic PvP shoulders. My warrior alt with full 60 epics definitely makes the 60-64 grind easier.
You must note that the nice PvP reward armors after TBC does not come from general PvP, but from Arena matches. All you can get with general PvP is the blue level 70 PvP set. The epic level 70 PvP set (known as the Gladiator) is achieveable only through Arena wins, from what I understand.
The saving grace of the general PvP rewards for post-65 is probably the epic gems available for purchase. -
pwn.. u r lucky u r a pally. my main is a priest. she might be nicely geared up but as a priest all the loot i get from raids are healing gear. all the +hit +effect stuff goes to mages and locks. in other words, i can't kill for coconuts even if i'm 51 shadow. because of this, i would have to get the pvp gear if i wan to level quickly when bc is out.
personally, i'm bitter abt how loot is distributed to priests. no one seems to remember that priests need to farm for gold (repair bills!), farm for mats (runecloth for bandaids), etc etc.
the arguement that giving priest +effects or +hit gear does not equal the priest being able to kills something she was previously unable to do so is plain bullshit. everyone forgets that as a holy priest, it takes longer time for to farm anything.
and now with bc out, priests like me r screwed. wat is the point of being full tier 2? am i gonna out heal the mob? eh wtf.
as for my mage, she is level 57. i'll also pvp for her to get gear. my aim is for her to have all the hwl gear before she is 60. atm gear for her is more impt than level. once she is nicely decked out, she'll be my main. i'm so sick of people going "eh all u do in raid is heal, u wan black wing cobal for wat" -
Ya, what you said is completely true for hybrids. Hybrids get the short end of the stick, because they have factor in their raid purpose as well as for soloing.Originally posted by the_don:pwn.. u r lucky u r a pally. my main is a priest. she might be nicely geared up but as a priest all the loot i get from raids are healing gear. all the +hit +effect stuff goes to mages and locks. in other words, i can't kill for coconuts even if i'm 51 shadow. because of this, i would have to get the pvp gear if i wan to level quickly when bc is out.

Hybrids are any class with a function other than DPS'ing.
Warriors - Tanks
Priests - Healers
Druids - Healers
Paladins - Healers
Shamans - Healers (although in TBC they can almost behave as a full DPS class)
Warlocks, Mages, Rogues and Hunters are all very fortunate for their main goal can simply focus on DPS gear and equipment.
Paladins are fortunate that T2 is spell damage, or else they're equally screwed like Priests.
Perhaps a saving grace is that in BC, all Tier equipment can be chosen towards a different playing focus. Although at the end of the day, healing classes are just gonna be forced to choose healing gear. Pallies I guess are luckier as they are not expected to be main healers and can get away with spell damage gear rather than pure healing.
All I can say is that being a priest, you typically need a close group of friends to assist one another for every situation. My wife is lucky like that. Any thing her priest needs done, she'll bug me to assist her.
I note that in BC, alot of gear is centric towards a tanking paladin. This is certainly new ground, one that has been typically ignored.
I'm having serious temptations to go Shammie -
make a shammie and try it out loh. if u like it then u can start one for bc. personally i dun like to level a pally. hits like a gal.
i like hunters and mages, they level really fast. -
Playing a paladin is typically ok. Just remember to get SoC asap. Pre-50s paladins dps is actually pretty good. From 20s-40, you'll feel great. But once you hit 45, you start seeing your dps go down.
I actually played a Draenei Shammie up to level 20 I think on the beta. Not too shabby. -
i'll stick to my face-melter and watercooler gal. i dun wanna level another toon

I tried playing a Pally and lvling it was @@Originally posted by pwnz0r:Playing a paladin is typically ok. Just remember to get SoC asap. Pre-50s paladins dps is actually pretty good. From 20s-40, you'll feel great. But once you hit 45, you start seeing your dps go down.
It really hits like a girl
So far I had the most fun with hunters and mage...especially mage can do alot of stupid things
On a side note I tried playing my friend's fire mage yesterday
I don't like it
I'm glad I spec 100% ice so far -
I think in PvE it's really tough to stay alive as Fire Mage especially when you pull aggro
Nothing to survive if the priest don't heal and the tank don't pull it away fast enough and for some reason even though I don't think I'm doing much dmg with the fire spells, it draws aggro faster than an ice mage and that is with 3 sets of NW which is supposed to reduce aggro
As ice mage my water e has actually gotten me out of tricky situations like being my tank while I bandage up after I ice block -
Kan_i cried over his close to 9g repair bill
I told him that it is not my fault that the priest dun wanna heal me and he doesn't have ice block
Then I go OMG how come you let my Elindra die. Just hit ice block or COLD SNAP ICE BLOCK -

Hopefully I can get my FM shoulders for my warrior before end of this week ><
How was your WoW weekend?
My wife took Lok'amir Il Romanthis, and she won it over me! I /spit on her toon, lololol.
We seem to be getting alot of shammie crap and my damn class trinket doesn't want to drop.
Did ZG on my warrior and Fang of the Faceless dropped! And lost the roll. Doing another ZG tonite and I hope I get an epic weapon ><
Oh, I splurged and spent 720g on journeyman riding and my gnomie is now riding a Black War Tiger.
