Druid Fire Cat Form, Avengers of Hyjal / Valor Points Rewards, Setup of the Month

Druid Fire Cat Form - Fandral's Flamescythe
The premade druids on PTRs are now equipped with Fandral's Flamescythe (Majordomo Staghelm Loot - Firelands Raid) and players had a chance to test a very interesting feature of this weapon: the druid automatically changes into a fire cat when in combat!





Patch 4.2 - Updated Valor Points Rewards
Valor Points rewarded were updated in the latest build of Patch 4.2, names have been moved around, item models have changed, and most importantly a couple of stats were changed. Among other things, Relic items now have a Prismatic gem slot instead of a Red one.

See the updated list below, now with item screenshots.

Computers - Setup of the Month (by chaud)
Each month or every 2 months, depending on the hardware evolutions, the lovely chaud will work on a couple of hardware setups for those of you who are thinking of upgrading their computer!

This month
New SSDs are here, faster and more expensive than the current generation. Look for small price drops over the next few months as the last gen is put on sale. New AMD CPUs will be here in August or later, performance is still unknown.

Make sure to keep your AMD and Nvidia drivers up to date. If you experience problems after updating, roll back to the recommended Nvidia Drivers.

New to building your own computer? ArsTechnica recently released a nice guide for new builders (Part 2 and Part 3). They don't talk about it specifically, but Artic Silver 5 is standard for thermal compound, avoid using what came with your heatsink. Usually it is easier to connect the case headers when the motherboard is not in the case, provided the wires are long enough. She does mention a five hour build time, two hours seems more likely.

Don't hesitate to post any feedback in the comments of that news post, and don't forget to visit the Computer Forum for any extra questions!

    Does anyone know if that is only happening for cat form? Or bear tanks with the staff can also morph into the flaming kitteh?

    Better yet, get some potions of illusion, pop it while a feral is going firecat on something and be the firecat shooting bullets out of your face at 40 yards away and poopin' exploding fire traps. 100% cooler!

    Do you raid to get gear? I thought it's for enjoyment.

    no no and no. your playing hunter, you deserv nothing but greens
  1. Xombo's Avatar
    So for spriests/boomkins/ele shams, there are 2 easily obtainable 378 trinkets, a 378 cloak that looks pre-heroic BiS (hit + haste), a 378 belt and TWO 391 rings for all incredibly low prices. 6 amazing epic items all from an easy faction grind? That along with the new easily obtainable epic craftable armor pieces and epic weapons (along with world boe drops) really shows just how far things have gone away from the "epic" feel of epics.

    Oh and I forgot to mention how you can pay a guild to run you in heroic modes from the heroic boss drops to upgrade your gear to 391 items as well. Sure this won't happen a week after the patch is released, but in a month or two, but you know guilds will be rolling in the cash once their core raiders have been equipped.

    L-O-L.

    You mad? If it's about bears, get a DPS ring - Agility+mastery+crit (absorbs)

    If it's the first time you put a rig together, 5 hours may be a bit on the long side, but not unsurprising.
  1. Kaldriss's Avatar
    ooo that looks perfect for my hunter :P
  1. mmoc54ae987777's Avatar
    I gotta say, I'd rather think a feral legendary would have such an effect, not a regular drop :P It's awesome enough.
