    Oh, so Hunters weren't supposed to get 32k crits in pvp at level 80? Wow, who would have thought. The class was obviously broken, in multiple regards, thus i'm glad to see them do a number pass on them to get them in line. Otherwise, it would be Ret 3.0 all over again. Hopefully they tune a couple more ranged to get things in some what of a balance for 4.0 launch. And no, "tuned for 85" is a lie, i.e. Ret 3.0 we all heard the same thing, in which they got hotfixed in a couple days, and they were still grossly OP at 80.

    It's funny to see hunters cry about these nerfs. Sorry, you're not supposed to be able to one shot people at will. You all thought that was normal? LOL.

    4.0.3 will be released before the Cata release date, and I hope its by a few weeks or more.

    Hmmm, all i see are people complaining again and again, just because their favorite class is getting nerfed, it's called fine tuning, and if you are in a bad shape, blizzard will probably fix it, and if you're to strong, Blizzard will fix that too, why not just go out and enjoy the game, and play your class?, that's what i am gonna do atleast, Frost mage seem to be ok for raiding now, going to try that 1 out, and Enhancement shaman i've always loved, so that's cool too.


    All classes gets nerfs/buffs to make them inline with eachother.

    The only class? Are you shitting me?

    Hunters went from clipping auto shot with cast time abilities to not clipping and having aimed an instant shot, now we're getting FOCUS and you say we're not being overhauled? Paladins being fucked from day 1 must also be a joke. I need not explain why.

    We have dealt with an entire fcking expansion dominated in pvp by a few classes. Nice to see nothing is changing in cata
    BM WAS OP at the start of wrath in PVP, then it all shifted to Marks/Surv which did just fine. You're not entitled to having a class where every tree is competitive in PVP, as no other class has that luxury neither.

    Finally, I'm happy to be an alchemist. But does anyone know where the recipe for the Vial of the Sands is supposed to drop / be sold? If it's one of those ultra-rare drops like ZG-mounts, White Hawkstrider ect., it would kinda suck.

    um no. druids are certainly more powerful than paladins and shamans, but PRIESTS are by far the most overpowered.

    No. You can CC, OOM, and it's much easier to blow up a priest at least.

    bah i am very disappointed about the release date...i was hopin to see cata way earlier...

    So yes, internal builds are yaddayadda, it's still beta and not completed yet, yaddayadda. Why do DK's still have a 6% spell hit talent? All specs are going to want/need this. So these are pretty much 3 mandatory talents for every single DK. The only possible exception to this might be pvp, where you don't go up against players higher level than you. What's up with that? :/

    Where is it posted by a blue that Vial of the sands is an alchemy recipe? i searched and could find no such blue post on any of the profession changes listed, does anyone have any idea where to get it if is a recipe and not something discovered? my alt is an alchemist and it's a very cool mount i would like to know.

    Except utterly destroying BM is over the top. A 10-15% nerf on KC and a nerf to AS would've been enough, thank you. Don't be pissy 'cause we don't like being free kills.

    druids =/= fuken resto. resto is only 1/4 of the class. Now tell me how feral which is 1/2 of the class has EVER been anything but complete opposite of what ur saying.

    some people should remember the good ole saying "if it's not blue it's not true".
    i don't say it won't happen on those dates but, until there are blue anouncements, anything related to release date is just a mere speculation. nothing more. nothing less.

    btw... https://us.battle.net/account/creation/wow/signup/ has been updated to october 13th :P

    Sandstone Drake being BoP makes me sad.

    I let people use my Mechano-hogs, so why can't I use their potions?

    Greedy Alchemists.
