    Most annoying think for me?

    People still crying about frost mages. People just blaming them failing on the class being "OP" when clearly it isn't (due to us being buffed in 4.1, 10% to frost bolt, and 10(or15)% more on ice lance with FOFF up). Granted I know that frost mages have really high survivability, and lots of slippery tricks. However lets look at the biggest Mage counterclass --- DKs

    Mage trick one - 4 different roots, frost nova, bubble burst, imp cone of cold, and pet freeze
    DK counter - chains of ice slow, strangulate to finish out the timer left on the root, or pet stun to break casting

    Mage trick two - Ring of frost/Root combo
    DK counter - easy to pop AMZ on top of RoF, giving it little to no use, even if the RoF freeze applies DK is still taking considerably less damage from AMZ, if the DK is frost, range damage can still be applied through HB/Dcoils while AMS is up to keep the mage from nuking at full strength

    Mage trick three - Deep Freeze
    DK counter - IBF stun break, no need to explain that one

    Mage trick four - Blink, gap opener, 20 yd separation
    DK counter - Death grip. 30-35 yd range(if i remember correctly) instant gap closer, if mage ice blocks it, and you don't have glyph of death grip and it gets wasted, completely your fault for being unprepared.

    Mage trick five - Iceblock, pally bubble without wheels, no damage incoming, no movement outgoing.
    DK counter - ...wait? Mages are pretty useless in there aside from the pet being out there free casting, at like... 5k dmg per cast

    Mage trick six - Mirror images
    DK counter - AMS is always a good CD for them, keeps roots off and offers excellent survivability to LOS the mage and images, or to get up on the mage and cause pressure to force block during images

    Mage trick seven - Evocation
    DK counter - interupt, pet stun, strangulate, death grip. Evocation is the clunkiest self heal in the game right now, and won't be used unless LoSd with a snare up, or with somebody sheeped.

    Mage trick eight - Polymorph
    DK counter - pretty straightforward, trinket/pet stun/interupt to counter this ability

    Now what I've described is a fight between two extremely utility heavy classes, that can be one anothers counter class if played correctly. I understand that not every person can be a DK, but most classes have some sort of equivalent to a deathknight/frost mages abilities, not perfectly the same, but close. I don't see any class having a substantial hard time going against a frost mage and not getting completely decimated, unless there is just a completely terrible player behind the wheel.

    Just what peeves me the most about the game currently.

    It's 45 Seconds. Those 45 seconds are enough for a GOOD frost mage to deep freeze / ice lance spam a DK to death.

    For me (enhancement shaman) it would have to be rogues, and their ability to reset a fight if they dont kill you in their first wave of cd filled stunlock chains. I dont mind losing, but I hate losing to a rogue I out skill but since he has a million more cd's than me, he can restart the fight and keep me cc'd while out of combat while waiting for more of his cd's. Its not skill, its a chicken shit play style that needs to be gotten rid of.

    Hunters - fill up a fantasy niche while still being restricted. In essence, there is no way of making an alternate class more 'ranger-esque' with out having an off version of a hunter
    Dks - very limited animations and graphics. Death and Decay is probably the only interesting graphic we have (compared to Thunder clap, Priest and Pally wings, FoK from rogues etc). Even howling blast and blood boil are tiny blips before they're gone.
    Paladins - too many yellow buttons. Seriously.

    Meh, can't think of any more.

    Wait, you actually watch the animations when you attack? I'm usually too busy watching health bars vanish to have any time paying attention to animations or graphics.

    About other classes: Cyclone: undispellable, can't bubble it, and makes you immune to your mana regen affects
    About my class: Divine Plea: 50% MS effect, it is such an outdated mechanic.

    priests getting to float around everywhere while im still stuck walking like a homeless dude and yes i know, rich people walk too. But i guess my biggest one is that theres practically no pally moves that arent "righteous" "wrath" "divine" etc. i mean i get pallys are defenders of the light and stuff, but its a little over done

    *melee invulnerability + heals lulz"

Maybe it's just me, but I am sick of baddies in H dungeons.

    This is why WoW is dieing. Because blizzard is making it SOOOO easy to obtain gear that any retarded with a CC and time can play this game without having any knowledge. LEARN YOUR CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    /endrage
    This ^^^^^

    I pugged Grim Batol with the Dk alt last night, I had to educate 2 players about CC......

    I was especially surprised when the resident lock in the group failed on the fear twice, then summoned the courage to ask which was fear, to then not have it Glyth'd and aggro a second pack in the pull.

    I am by no means a Veteran of this game only starting in 3.0

    But I distinctly remember studying each spell as it came, trying to slot it into a pre-determined situation it would be useful for.

    It has taken me all this time to level a 2nd alt lol I just enjoy my lock too much.

    Lota people griping bout cc but rly blizz mase most classes cc viable for dungeons just after cataclysm.
    my exampl: lock fear it used to e a noobs emergency spell but now its viable for cc ( talking pve wise not pvp)
    I still think pallys shouldn't be able to cast any healig spells durring their "get out o any situation" free card because every other class can't do anything durring their invulnerability state
    also mages using blink in pvp, even though its fairly unreliable overnrough twrrain and going uphill

    Excluding big raid fights, heroics and daily quests are good times to actually look and potentially appreciate the art the game has.

    No one wants to be a Lock dude. I gather most locks I see are people with 9 85s on the server already...
