Vol'jin is getting:

-An updated model
-A novel
-A scenario

Vol'jin will be the new Warchief, Haters gonna hate

Varian gets:
- An updated model
- A novel
- Possibly a scenario

goes into war

Jaina gets:
- An updated model
- A novel
- A scenario

her hometown gets destroyed though she gets elevated

Anduin gets:
- An updated model
- Details blurting out everywhere regarding him
... and guess what happens.

Just because Jaina made it to somewhere better after such events does not indicate it will be the same for everyone, Blizzard may very well be going the George Martin way.

...what would antogonize Horde more would be to killing of another racial leader, first may have been accidental but the second one does raise the questions and with Lor'themar/Sylvanas questioning his tactics, "the war-crimes of the warchief" seem to get a bit more clearer.

Vol'jin will die and then the questioning Horde will want to usurp Garrosh...

[Murtaghaja]

why is everybody whining about ret dps.I still top the meters. If you have any problems it's probably due to your rotation

[Alceus]

Vol'jin for president.
Can't wait for him to 'kill Garrosh'.

then it will all be like:

[4KhazModan]

Anduin? As if we needed another reason to hate Garrosh!

[Badhairday]

Well, considering that the Kor'kron are Garrosh's personal elite soldiers and he's been filling their ranks with Blackrock Clan members, and in Tides of War had them assassinating people who publically disagreed with his policies, I'm gonna say that yeah, Garrosh ordered it. Plus, quest dialogue where Thrall talks about their supreme loyalty to the Warchief position means some will unfortunately have to be killed, even though they're just acting on orders.

Really? This is very interesting. Would you mind telling me where I can read more about members of the Blackrock Clan becoming Kor'Kron guards, or is that in the Tides of War too? (I faction changed from Alliance to Horde so I haven't read many quests, if it's mentioned in them)

Rogue dps is fine??? when 3 mage specs out dps rogues theres a issue....

[Freia]

Or you are beating a bunch of bad dps who don't know their rotation. Ret is not competitive atm.




Healing priests are not good. Blizzard needs to get a clue.

[Shambulanced]

I love how they completely disregard all the discussion (read: discussion, not just whining!) on rogue forums about a lack of class identity in PvE, abilities/utility being eclipsed by Monks, dps sorely lackluster, etc.

Their response? "Oh, well you guys will be fine once you get haste."

So all of the problems of the rogue class are reduced to lacking haste? Sounds like piss-poor itemization and design, imo. But rogues have always performed poorly at the start of xpacs.

Maybe they'll give rogues another legendary to "fix" the class. /eyeroll

Nozdormu model is a High Elf skin customized for Nozdormu on a Night Elf Skeleton, it is not a new model and Blood Elves/Draenei are at the end of the list for getting newer skins.

I know, pratically all of them are old skeletons with new customized skin, look at Thrall for exemple, his skeleton is from a male Draenei.

And about Nozdormu, I know that he has the night elf skeleton, but I wouldn't mind if the new model of the Blood Elves was based on him, he's awesome and, at least the shoulders would fit correctly...

But anyway, my point is, they has the base, I don't understand why is taking so long to update the old models.

[Rukentuts]

Typical Dev bullshit, Hunters are fine. LOL okay...

[Goit]

Did anyone else really LOL at this?

"Shadow AoE damage is so low, there are some fights I've seen healers do more damage. Is there any intention to fix this?
We want priests to multi-dot a lot in AE situations, not just spam Mind Sear.

Shadow priest single target DPS seems very low. I've been sat on heroic Feng because of this. Anything to help would be great.
Shadow single target DPS is fine. AE might be low. "

I'm not even a priest and this statement is just lol. Total BS replies.

That Vol'jin art is not from the new project. One is from Wei's painting for Blizzard's anniversary, the other is from Ludo Lullabi's faction leader short story image on the website.

I'm reading more...

Blood Elves being setup for maybe a neutral faction or allow people to do a quest to change sides (Pandas being the test for the tech).

I've actually thought the same with Tauren in 5.0.4/5 in how they openly hate Garrosh (for obvious reasons). My thinking was a neutral faction as well, with Tauren and possibly some humans (due to Varian's warlike tendencies and his son's relationship with the Tauren).

The notion that all <insert race> have the same political/sociological views is so old fashion. I'm okay with the majority of a race being on one side (so Orgrimmar would obviously still be a Horde stronghold), but there's nothing wrong with the notion that the players being the outsiders.

A third player paid faction would definitely be a way to keep the game interesting.

[Traumatize77]

I'm really curious if those answers are right front the blue post on rogues and warlocks. Those seem very sarcastic and lackadaisical. I'm really contemplating on what happens at blizzard with these people. Like I feel the person who answered these is complete tool that hates his own life.

Agreed. Most of the responses given are total garbage. It seems that player feedback is being swept under the rug. Cancelling my sub until this game becomes less of a joke.

[Badhairday]

As far as I know shadow priests really are fine, though. At least when it comes to single target.

[Prokne]

Great sounds like the Kirin Tor is betraying the Blood Elves again. Kaelthas didn't betray the Kirin Tor BTW. They helped Garithos lock him and the rest of the Blood Elves up and they were going to execute him so actually they betrayed him along with the rest of the Alliance. Kaelthas did betray Illidan and the Blood Elves though when he joined Kiljaeden.

nope checked logs

[Ventris]

I about fell out of my chair laughing at this. i just dropped playing my paladin, despite doing everything flawlessly, for my feral druid for progression. despite being literally 9 ilvls lower, doing MSV became a joke because of the increased damage. this is playing DoC spec mind you since I didn't get a caster weapon in time to try HoTW burst spam. ret paladin dps is horrible right now. often times you find yourself waiting up to 4-5 seconds for an ability to come off cooldown just because of clash resolution leading to them all being used almost simultaneously previously. in my first five man while testing DoC I was getting 200k crit ferocious bites on the druid with only 3 combo points up and DoC proc'ed. I'd be lucky to see a 140k TV despite being in nearly all BiS pre-raid ret gear. the fact that holy avenger and avenging wrath do not line up is also a huge issue as the burst on command every 2mins would help with some of that. increasing seal damage would mean relying more on keeping a dot up where as direct damage seems to be the issue. TV NEEDS a buff since thats supposed to be the actual nuke. it reminds me of playing my warlock as destro over the last expansion and being like, why do we have chaos bolt again?

as for rogues, combat is and generally does scale lower because of gear requirements, I'll be lvling mine next and playing mut. I had many top 100 world parses in DS, so I'm eager to see how mut stacks up now. rogue will be stronger with the 4 piece tier bonus and the way it affect's shadow blades and adrenaline rush for combat. however, blizz should bandaid some of the damage and make it less based on white swing damage, which seems to be the problem at 90 that that is most of the damage ala BC rogue where you just stacked hit. the lack of uptime on a boss because of various mechanics means this will severely lower DPS time as well as make burst almost non-existent.

but hey mages are fine so everything in the game is fine. I guess when you have to nerf other classes because you can't compete on a game you are developer on, thats just the GC way of doing things.

edit: also, rogue is a pure DPS class, not a hybrid. the fact its affected by hybrid tax pretty much means some rogue somewhere ganked GC during the PTR and he's throwing his typical beta male hissy fit. its time for the developers to grow up a bit and stop protecting their pet classes. rogue's SHOULD be able to destroy meters, thats what a rogue is here for its a pure DPS class.
