He went around owning everyone and everything in IF for awhile heh.. Until we GY zerged him outside IF. He dropped Earthshaker, paladin and warlock loot :) (Almost full Red gear for me only costed like 12G now instead of ..... uh ALOT more so that's a good change)

Lastly Lethon (Can't see much of him but the debuff is nice. 10seconds increased cooldowns make this a fun tanking challenge probably)

hah cool, lunac :)

man, that's going to be a lot of random spawns to compete for

[Phoenix]

I was thinking ugh more encounters, more repaircosts.. but hey

The cost per point of durability to repair plate, chain, and leather items has been reduced to be equal to the cost of repairing cloth items of the same quality.

Zing!

[Grunthor]

the sucky stuff is admirals hat was nerfed, and warlocks supposed buffs are actually nerfs. huzzah.

[Ogmuk]

All talent 'improvements' include nerfs. Does anyone remember the warrior protection spec 'improvement' when they removed the most useful skill from the tree, shield discipline, and gave us a crappy/useless dps skill, shield slam? :o

[Dardatheus]

Yay, new fun! Was starting to get a little bored; only really log for MC and BWL and to check on hunter demons (which are NEVER UP EVER!!!!!!!).


I wish magmadar would spawn in IF all the time :(

[Gionnelles]

Hah yeah, our "buffs" were all ass-reaming nerfs. Go us. Our new "uber" death coil is almost 800 mana for a 3 second fear and crappy insta-dd/drain.

They nerfed our crit damage through the floor, and made a completely unannounced brutal nerf to Soul-link. I hate Blizzard.

[Clive]

I'm not sure if this is working as intended, but hunters can use BOTH the epic staff and bow simultaneously. Woohoo?

[Gionnelles]

Yes, its working as intended Clive...not really sure why they did that, but it makes the combination even better because the staff itself isn't a bad wieldable for a hunter at all.

[Clive]

I actually use the staff + blastershot launcher now, but that's going to change once 1.8 goes live. The patch notes are vague, though, as they make it sound like maybe you trade one item for another instead of transforming now.

[Lunac]

Some loots from the new outdoor Raid Dragons

[Veev]

Interesting cloak, and any word on what the quest gives?

[Lunac]

Nope nothing on questreward. But ive seen alot of lootpics from the new stuff and ALOT of it have Nature resist.. Not sure if Blizz wants us to gear up For Ahn'quiraj or something :)

[Lunac]

Ok did some digging on the forums and the questreward was:

"as well as a quest item turned in at moonglade for a 17 sta, 20 nature resist ring".

MORE NATURERESISTS!! :)

[Euphorie]

Wow +154 AP in cat form =D

[Ogmuk]

I remember the dragonkin in Ashenvale, if they are adding a dragon there too, have insane nature (poison) direct damage abilities so I assumed anything added in that portal would need Nature Resistance and I actually told Veev recently that I'm running out of bag space and guessing that one of the dragons may require Nature Resistance as a wild guess. Dunno if they do but something is definitely going to require it.

Since Nature Reflectors aren't in yet, maybe they will add it as drop from one of these dragons?

[Elros]

WOW i want that damn druid mace....thats sick
