[IlyYsera]

QQ
Frostwyrm for PVPER QQQQQQQ

[Herecius]

Deadly Gladiator's Frostwyrm /drool*infinity

[DeManiac]

Damn, Frostwyrm, sad I suck at pvp / haven't bothered trying, pvp this season.

Would have been so damn awsum to have one, have always wanted to have one as Undead, one of the reasons I chose the class since the looks are awfull othervice.


And, have they removed the 2/4 sec reduced cooldown on Overpower/Revenge and made it 1/2 or is it still 2/4 ?. Because othervice we will only have a 3 sec window to use Overpower Instead of a 5 sec window, and that sux.


150% haste, is that our rating or our attackspeed?

Because if it's attackspeed, can u understand how much that one does? 150% extra attackspeed for 5 sec, sure bloodlust is 30% for like 30 sec, but cmoon, this will be like 30% over 25 sec.... ok a lot less but anyway, it's sick.

Can't be right, the tooltip has to be fucked up.

[Rararasputin]

So is there going to be any change to underwater mechanics to give this mount a point or did they just make the new fishing mount a gimmick mount that you would only use to show off in town and have real no use...

[Caidrin]

Must... Have.... FrostWyrm!
Damn PvP!
When do the PvE ones show up?

[Deleted]

I can see why they must reduce the land speed of sea mounts now, otherwise come next expansion land mounts will be extinct.

Dueling dolphins in Goldshire -- it is the future :P

Shaman T8 Elemental 4P Bonus -- Your critical Strikes from Lightning Bolt cause the target to take nature damage equal to 8% of the Lightning Bolt's damage over until cancelled sec.
