Very interesting stuff indeed. The monk class's unique resource and play style alone seem like its from a completely different game. My skepticism unfortunately is telling me to highly highly doubt they will be able to deliver that much new stuff come release. I foresee a repeat of the "Dance Studio" situation whereby features are cut.

Also, it seams like they are reverting to WotLK's easier dungeons/content, which is fine by me.
Bottm line is, this has definitely gotten me exited about this old game again. Will most likely resub when this comes out.

"- Seriously though"

Although I'm the only person on my server who thinks this new expansion is BALLER AS HELL; the drastic new changes are scaring a lot of people.

But I mean cmon, it's not out yet, and people bitched and moaned about change when Wrath came out.

The new Talent system, I think, is a lot like perks in games like Fallout 3. Which is a nice addition I think. It kinda makes blizzard hold your hand but at the same time allowed you to make your own personal choices. Even if they are kinda tough choices in general.

I'm extremely excited. Screw the haters. Pandas own

I'm looking forward to the warlock changes. Grimoire of Sacrifice kills off your demon and increases your damage... I'm in love, since Blizzard has seemed to completely fuck up pet management and made it all buggy in recent patches.

Also. Warrior level 90 ability is Avatar. Fuck yeah.

Monks are melee Healing and Tanks are getting tanked(Drunk) while tanking

awwwwwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The more I read about this the more I am loving it. Shaman changes though (Totem Buffs. GONE) i'm kinda worried about. I just got done mastering Enhancement shamans. Ah well, I still have a good while to take down Deathwing. That's what I signed up for.

Oh, and OOT for World of Warcraft. Blizzard announced their DOTA that is only playable on Starcraft 2. But there is a twist to it!

This owns

E- The new talents for Shamans at the moment seem very Restro / Elemental. I'm enhancement damnit! Where are my enhancement talents! (I know this is not final or anything. But hey, I can dream)

Doing a triple Lightning bolt with maelstorm weapon sounds pretty damn nice on it's own though. Very cool. But The "Survivability" of shamans in the early talents? As enhancement? Meh. I would not go with any of them.

I'm just sticking my head in here to voice exactly how pissed I am that it's bloody Pandaren.

I hate pandaren. Ever since I got Burning Crusade, I've been dying to play as a goddamn Ethereal, and Blizzard will never give me the satisfaction. D:

also: The new Warrior talents are pretty sick. Avatar + Death Wish = lololol. Just... where's my Titan's Grip? D:

I'd heard that Titan's Grip is being moved down to a level 38 Fury specific ability, much like Slam is now Arms specific. It's still there, don't worry.

I'd be excited for that but Fury is so mind numbingly boring compared to Protection and Arms

On that note, Bladestorming as a protection warrior will be amazing. I don't care if there's a talent geared towards protection on that tier. I'm taking Bladestorm for my tank spec.

You should totally play Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne. You will be TOTALLY PISSED OFF!

To be serious here, Panderians have been in the lore since the beginning. I'm glad they are being in this expansion now.

Hehe. You got me thinking, I'm totally reinstalling WC3 to play as the brewmaster just for kicks. Also, I never understood the hate for Panderans. I think its bad ass that they start off neutral and must make a choice as to what faction to join. Not sure they could pull that off with other races.

Also, when I first read about achievements being account wide..I literally giggled like a 12 year school girl in joy. Then today I read that its only for a few select raiding achievements...cried like 9 year old school girl,

I love collecting achievements, but I hate that I have to play the same character to get them all.

I know this isn't a megathread or anything but if you guys want a single target RDPS that does 20+k DPS in any of your dungeons then PM me and I'll be sure to add you. I have vent and everything

Tuesday and Thursday nights are my raid nights though. Keep this in mind.

But I am one badass Shaman. Enhancement FTW

September 25 the fur will fly.

Hopefully, the transition patch 5.0 or something should hit a month or so before to get us acclimated to the new talent system. Think I'll re-sub now just to be on the safe side

Also, pet battle go!

	Definitely can't wait! I like the Digital Deluxe edition. The in game items/pets are the main reason I buy collector's editions. And I'll be able to play at midnight right when they flip the switch for Pandaria content. Stocking up on valor points and netherweave cloth to make some gold on bags. I've heard they get as high as 100g per bag during the first week of launch. ____________________

Oh man totally. This will be the first collector's edition I pick up. Had they had a digital version of previous expansions, Blizzard would have a lot more of my money. Their loss.

I've been leveling my alts like crazy..well trying to at least. With the introduction of account wide achievs, I'm gonna assume there will be (or eventually be) a "Max level a char of every class" achievement. My lowest levels are 25 rogue and 55 warrior. Everything else is in the 80's or max. I got my work cut out for me.

I wasn't too impressed with it. It felt too whimsical and the character designs didn't even look realistic, which they've always done in previous cinematic trailers. The sheer silliness of it is giving me a bad feeling that much of questing content and storyline in Mists of Pandaria will be a joke in some form. I hope I'm wrong.

I absolutely love whimsy in the cinematic. How could you possibly take a monk panda serious anyway? They might as well embrace the ridiculousness of the situation and give him some humor. Also, I don't think people view WoW as a realistic games, so the couple "realistic" human models in previous cinematics are out of place.

I've always said, if you loved WoW before, this expac will simply enhance your love. If you never cared for WoW or always had issues with certain things, flying pandas won't change your opinion.

And of course...pet battles go!

I hope this isn't an Activision plan to kill off Blizzard so they can dump more money into Call of Duty 15: Modern Warfare 8: Black Ops 4.

If you never cared for WoW or always had issues with certain things, flying pandas won't change your opinion. I am in the first group. This expansion has me more excited about leveling and playing through the content than Cataclysm did. I'm still undecided as to whether or not I'll make a Panda Monk at launch. I want to experience all the new high level zones as soon as possible, but I'd also love to have one of the first 90 panda monk's on our server. I have 4 days off from 9/25 to 9/28 for this expansion, plus the weekend, so 6 days straight of Pandas! That should be enough time to get to 85+ at least, hopefully all the way to 90 before we go on vacation to New York the following week. ____________________

So I've been screwing around with an elemental shaman.

Jesus christ the burst I can get is insane. Flame Shock ticks have a chance to reset lava burst's cooldown. It's gotten to the point where I can cut down geared healers in PvP if they're not super on the ball in about two seconds.

Flame Shock -> Lava Burst -> Lightning Bolt -> Lava Burst's cooldown was reset -> Earth Shock for Fulmination.

If my 50% chance to have mastery double the spell happens and my 6% chance for my Echo of the Elements talent take effect, there is no where the target will live unless they've being focused on by healers and have used some hefty defensive abilities.

I like it the changes. I doubt it'll be a game breaker to get Elemental into high end PvP though.
