PTR is closed. While no official announcement yet, high probability of patch 2.4 tonight.
Yeah, most likely. It’d be cool to get my Dragonstrike finally even though I hardly pve nowadays.
I’ve got 146 badges. Just one or two more heroic runs, and then all I need is to wait for the Quel’danas vendor to be unlocked and I’m picking me up my very own Blade of Harbingers. Been collecting for months, and the time for a T6-quality 2H weapon is nigh. 
Oh man, 2.4 tomorrow? I’m stoked. I didn’t think it would be for a while so I haven’t been stocking my badges up hardcore, I guess I’ll be running a metric ton of heroics this week, Kara, and ZA to get some gear.
Screw Dragonstrike dude, go for the new badge fist weapons. They’re about the equivalent of S3 weapons (Dragonstrike is about the equivalent of S2).
Oh yeah, grats on getting your account back. I hope your gear gets restored with a quickness. If you suspect a trojan have you gone and cleaned up your computer? Would suck if it just happened again.
that axe is fucking broken
It’s basically more or less identical to Bloodmoon, except 0.2 faster swing and 53 haste rating. As a BE paladin, I don’t mind haste. Already stacking a bit of it on other pieces, and once my set is completed, I could get that axe swinging at 3.07 speed. No sta and no resilience makes it not a PvP toy, but for 2H PvE DPS, there aren’t very many upgrades in the game beyond it.
Not that I PvP much, only going to BGs to pick up a couple pieces of gear, but offhand I’d guess stamina, resilience, and crit being the top 3 (not sure of the exact order).
attack power/strength is necessary, otherwise your crits won’t be shit.
resil obviously, and stamina
this axe is crazy
is it in the game? i haven’t seen anyone with it yet…
nvm, its only for some pve battle…blah
I honestly think Death knights should start at level 1…
So, 2.4 is supposedly coming up.
Hurray for the shitty nerf Hunters are getting, especially with the gay thing about traps being set are now showing up on the combat log 
lol, I am seeing a shitload of hunters on the forums QQ’ing right now, but whatever, I’m not rerolling. All those other hunters can reroll all they want, I’m sticking to it, maybe they might actually have a spot for Hunters in the guild I’m in when they run BT or something one of these days.
agreed. I enjoy playing thru levels with a new class and getting a feel for them as you level. And if you get to automatically roll a death knight at a high level then literally everybody will have one. Less people will have them if they have to level a completely new toon.
2.4 came out today. No diminished honor returns = win.
Just get the PvP gear. Don’t worry about gem bonuses. Stack Str first (divine str boosts this…then AP indirectly…and kings boosts str…then AP indirectly, follow me?), then AP, crit.
Just PvP for ur ret set. That’s what I’m doing.
Get my belt today…legs next week…already have the nethercobra leg armor for the s3 legs…woot!! With the instant honor from BGs I might start doing them again.
Magnetix wtf are you talking about hunters QQing? There’s nothing in the patchnotes that would make them really cry.
If you don’t see a hunter trap being laid down as they lay it down…then you are dumb, you know? Everyone can see the animation of the hunter kneeling down…its not like its anything ‘secret’, though rogues can detect traps.
They said S4 won’t be anytime soon, watch it be in 3 weeks.
Gem bonuses are good, but not always needed, just choose wisely. Mana management is not really an issue bro in PVP lol. In PVE, just put blessing of sac on the tank and you will have below full HP, that way when you are healed you get mana. Also pop mana pots like they owe you money.
Most ret pallies suck. It’s still one of those exceptional hard to play, hard to find good players for, sort of class.
2.4 patch is downloading atm…
Yep. Not to mention one of the most gear dependant classes in the game as well.
as soon as I hit 70 a lock in blues and greens could rock my world while spamming /rofl in chat for the entire 14 seconds the duel lasted (only cuz I bubbled for 12). A few epix and a trinket later…I ALMOST beat a full vengeful 2k rated lock.
The only problem is that a good player in good gear can still only beat other good players once every 5 minutes…and shouldn’t beat shadow priests EVER. (silence mana burn mass dispel goodnight.)
anybody else’s patch downloading REALLY slow?
Shoulda pre-loaded
