Nope, I've never been asked to use them in random heroics. People sap in Raids occasionally yeah, but not in heroics. I see a TON of newbie rogues attempting to sap in lowbie groups, and quite frankly, it's not a good idea. The method is just mow everything down with AoE, spank and tank that's it really. Some bosses require special care, but on trash mobs, the farthest we get in the way of tactics is "Kill this one first."

Rogue is a CC God/Goddess. Too bad I don't know how to stunlock after all these years. Hell I don't get a chance to learn, whatever I'm attacking in PvP is mauling my face so bad I'm forced to flee every time I'm in 1 on 1 combat.

Warlock has changed a hell of a lot since I first started playing. Now it's easier than ever before to level. Plus Felguard at level 10 is pretty awesome for DPS, since he also AoE attacks. Assuming he doesn't link a room like he did earlier today. The boy ain't bright. It's so hard to watch what he's doing and pay attention to what I'M doing as well.

I honestly don't see us requiring CC tactics for long. They've made the game incredibly easy now, so I sorta feel it won't be long into cata before we're mowing everything down with AoE again. But, I dunno. We'll see.

It's just sad really, I'm level 80 and still can't play my class well. But I'm not the only one. People would rather take the easy brainless way out of encounters nowdays. I expect a whole lotta wiping when Cata is first released. And it's gonna be a joke if people think they can just jump straight into Cata Normal dungeons without questing for gear first. My DK on Beta, with heroic quality gear has 96k Health. Yeah. Tai currently has 26k. >.>

Cataclysm Login Screen. We'll be muting this in no time.

Affliction + Voidwalker + Siphon Life = Invincible. Even with the new patch.

I think the Succubus lost Seduction to be honest, and they're adding a glyph that will change Fear to "cower in place" and the same to the warrior fear and the same to Priest's fear. It will impose a cooldown on all of them where applicable, or increase the cooldown if it already has one. This will be useful for Warrior...but Fear is single target and causes a shitton of hate so you gotta hope your tank knows what they're doing.

And, make no mistake: no tank will know what they're doing come December. It will take some time for groups to recover from this.

lol Tom Cruise

[Yvondith]

OMG that was hilarious. XD I love anything that makes fun of that bastard. Thanks for the lulz Norfy.

Got my new Warlock to level 30. Only 50 more to go.

Been doing a mix of questing and random dungeons. The random dungeons aren't going so well though, there's a lot of losers at low levels who don't know how to play, or just don't know how to play well with others.

Still hoping to get her to 80 before Cata. Or, as close as possible.

[Yvondith]

OK guys. You've gotta see this.

wow.joystiq.com/2010/10/26/around-azeroth-beta-edition-war-of-the-critters/

People are claiming it's real. So you can bet I will be checking this out when the servers come back online for the beta. Real or fake, it's freaking hilarious. XD

OK I checked it. It's 100% real. Rabbits are toting axes around in their mouth. XD

Also, the model viewer now works with Cata. Here are some close ups of the worgen faces.

I want crazy animal warfare!

[Norfy the Walrus]

I just tanked Heroic Halls of Reflection tonight. Whew, that was stressful. I told the group before hand that my gear was still being worked on but I was willing to try. They were okay with that and we did it. I was nervous throughout the whole thing though. XD

EDIT>> ....and now I have my Paladin tanking "dress". I honestly don't mind this thing. Although I'm still not sure what to make of the duck helmet. XD

[Yvondith]

MANDRESS!

Female Worgen are now available for testing! WHOO-HOO!

I got my baby warlock to level 42 now. She's now my next highest level character.

Check the screens on page 2, towards the bottom of my adventures as a female worgen.

[Yvondith]

Watch, and most importantly listen. If you roll a worgen, you'll be hearing that sound. A lot. Also, her voice sounds like Marge Simpson's sisters. I shit you not.

Still overall, I love. Will be rolling at least a hunter and a DK, if I don't devote an entire server to both of the new races.

[Caller]

I like the new staff. I want the new staff. But god can't they design new robes already...? Even FFXI is still making new models. WoW has no excuse.

But yeah if that's what we have to hear everytime a worgen is around, I can see loooots of whining in the future.

[Norfy the Walrus]

I don't think I've seen those robes before. The shoulders yes but not the robes.

Crazy sounds. All that sniffing and snorting though makes them sound less like werewolves and more like coke fiends ;D

But I like the dance. She touches her boobs. ;D

[Caller]

Oh the design is new. But the model (skeleton, if you will) is identical to lv1 robes. Just don't understand why it's so hard to make a new robe model...hell even Plate has a robe model, which you've recently discovered. >.<
