The first raiding group to completely beat the existing game did so in all T6 gear without upgrading a single piece. So even if heroic gear isn't as good as T6 right now, it isn't actually necessary to still perform perfectly well.

Re: World of Warcraft
 

I believed that at first but after taking 26k hateful strikes from Patches I can't believe the tanks didn't pop on all the upgrades they got because t6 doesn't offer enough HP to take those.

oh ps niiko is 80 now and also now on malfurion not norgannon

Re: World of Warcraft
 

Unfortunately i am going to start playing this again.

Re: World of Warcraft
 

Hehe, I tanked Patch just the other day. DPS races are fun and exciting.

Re: World of Warcraft
 

I'll just drop down my characters stats.

Prot warrior, human.

~24k armor
26642 health
544 defense
21.73% dodge
17.13% parry
30.98% block(stops 1043 damage)

I'm taking a different route from BC. I was pure health when I tanked(I was an offtank unless the boss required a lot of health. We never used feral tanks). I'm going avoidance/mitigation > stamina.

I would've gone arms... But Windfury totem sucks now and slam is broken(Pushed out 2100DPS in BT with T5 equivalent gear and Jin'rhok).

Re: World of Warcraft
 

I've seen fury warriors push 4kdps on patches. A few DKs pushing 5k. Fury is awesome.

Re: World of Warcraft
 

I've done it in all blues with some level 70 epics(gloves, neck cape) and was pushing 3.2k DPS(10man, guild won't let me raid fury in 25mans). Fury is a bit OP'd in my opinion, but Im not complaining. I love it when my class is considered OP'd and people QQ on the forums for a nerf.

Re: World of Warcraft
 

They're considering nerfing deep wounds for 3.1

Re: World of Warcraft
 

Doesn't phase me really.

I'm a tank over DPS. I just do it to secure a spot in a raid.

Re: World of Warcraft
 

Prot paladin human
~24k armor
22,624 health
551 defense
18.69% dodge
16.47% parry
43.56% block

Mind you, I'm still in more than a few blues, where they give you gobs of defense, and your later upgrades into purple ditch the defense for strict parry/dodge, so the defense will bleed into parry/dodge as I get geared, but I always went with the mitigation/avoidance over stamina. I tanked all kinds of things with no trouble at all where I was under, in some cases well under, the "required" number of hit points.

im a lvl 80

Re: World of Warcraft
 

I'm fairly convinced that I've completed all the solo content in Wrath of the Lich King now. All I have to say is that Blizzard has done a very good job designing the game it there has most definitely been an improvement over the original game and its first expansion. Game sequels tend to disappoint me, but all Blizzard has done was impress me. When I first hit 60, I thought the game was cool because it broke the usual grinding I saw in most MMORPGs with quests that had a strong lore background that a Warcraft I, II, and III fan like me could appreciate. When I hit 70, the strong lore was still there and the quests were improved and more fun than the ones from 1-60. The problems that I found with the quests is that they didn't tie in with the lore too much. Some quests had you on errands that weren't relevant to any story lines and the ones that were relevant to a story line weren't super interesting. Wrath of the Lich King changed that. The quests from 70-80 really had an epic feel and it it seems that Blizzard has finally truly integrated the lore with the quests.

I thought that by reaching Wrath of the Lich King and the inevitable downfall of Arthas, Blizzard would run out of pre-existing lore to use for future expansions, so I wasn't quite sure how Blizzard would continue to expand their MMO. But if you paid attention to the quests and all the new lore, it's not hard to see 2-3 new expansion ideas.

Re: World of Warcraft
 

Expansion idea 1: Archdruid Staghelm and the corruption of the Emerald Dream
Expansion idea 2: Neptulon makes the Maelstrom start actually pulling the continents in
Expansion idea 3: More other-dimensional people like the Eredar turn up
Expansion idea 4: With Arthas dead, Kil'Jaeden launches another invasion in revenge
Expansion idea 5: Sargeras takes a more active role in trying to destroy the world
Expansion idea 6: Sargeras manages to corrupt Velen, hilarity ensues

I could go on.

Re: World of Warcraft
 

They're only releasing 2 more expansions if anything. And after that it's probably just going to be just big patches or something.

They said at the beginning they would make the level cap end at 100.

Re: World of Warcraft
 

Okay, so someone else paid attention to the lore, and can piece together some likely courses for the expansions to take...what of it?

Re: World of Warcraft
 

It's very interesting?
