PvP’er.. heaps of that, including new & improved world PvP.

Instances: Heaps of them… AoE your way through…

Pro-Sheeper: I thought you were from Sydney, not New Zealand…

I’m a raider, a pvper, and an instance-grinder, and pro-sheeper

… but quests don’t do it for me

I think for those at the top of their game it has been a bit easy mode.

Where previously on 5% would see the end game, it’s more like 10-15%.

CC to date hasn’t been a requirement, but AoE is everywhere.

Coming patch 3.1 is meant to redress that balance somewhat.

From a Quest perspective… WoLK Rocks! That said, I am only 3 zones into the expansion and nearly 80.. so lots left to explore…. but I am way behind the curve due to my Indian absence

kinda sounds like the mage cool factor has dropped down to some kind of mediocre.

Tell me it isn’t all bad!

Meanwhile, I double tag you, with extra difficulty…
I want a 6th screenshot from the 6th folder, which is then turned into a Wanted Meme!

@Gaming Diva: Differences…. Mmm I think the next Hero Class is going to be a Spellcasting, AoE healing, Rez incoming, DPS Tank… that will be unique… cause it wont have CC…

@dorgol: Yep… it’s a Mage buff, but applied to other classes… Here’s a buff… (/snigger… you will never use)… As for AoE tanking… The only thing left is the Blast Wave Tanking Mage…

@Fish: lol yeah… I forgot the Marking skill. Sure we can now bring the player rather than the “Marking Tank”. I was just listening to Casually Hardcore and they brought up marking, or the lack thereof.

I think lots of people are asking for an increase in difficulty… but I would like an increase in required strategy.

CC requires a level of focus that makes things more interesting. What made Magister’s Terrace such a badass 5-man? The fact that even geared groups would wipe if you didn’t control those groups.

What REALLY frustrates me about the complete lack of CC requirements is that Blizzard made it a point to GIVE CC to those classes that didn’t have one. Ret Paladins can now use Repentance on more targets and it lasts longer. Shaman were given Hex. It really felt like Blizzard was addressing the problems of those classes so they would be welcome in a CC-heavy 5-man.

Instead, we get the “tank ‘em all” Heroics.

Hopefully, we’ll see Blizzard slide the level of difficulty back up a bit. Not insane difficult. Maybe not even as difficult as MgT and Shattered Halls were (when first released). But there has to be a middle ground somewhere.

I was disappointed at the change to Druids Res. I have a Feral Druid and a Holy Priest. I liked the difference. I imagine it won’t be long before other healing classes are able to do battle rez’s too, so the classes can be ‘equal’.

I recently made three new toons; Mage, Warlock, and a Druid. I’m thinking about leveling the Mage and the warlock at the simultaneously. I’ve always loved the Mages CC, and I’ve always been curious about Warlocks.
