Sup fam. I've been gone a while. Got sucked back into retail for the better portion of this year. How are things going!? Haven't been keeping up with the state of the game. Game is currently seeding on Bit Torrent, and I'm stoked to hop back in. See you in Azeroth!

Thanks bro! Much appreciated. Status is WE GOOD! Went up two levels last night and turned in, but felt good to be back. This warrior grind is gonna be nutty but looking forward to it.

Deadmau5 is the unknown world boss of Vanilla. Thanks for the well welcome back! Also, dope picture! Reminds me of DMT.

Tha'ts good to know. Last thing I remember was all the controversy and about Nostalrius being the force behind all the gold farming sales and subsequent bans of the very people they allegedly sold gold too.....maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but it was something like that. Right around the switch from Nost to Elysium.

Awesome! Good to hear it. Weird cause my control panel won't show me my characters and the realms I made them on, hopefully I didn't get hacked haha. Even if I did, nothing wrong with starting fresh!

So I'm lvling prot to stay on top of my skill and remain comfortable for endgame, but have noticed when questing solo it can be a bit of a pain. I know lvling prot is a slow and arduous process, but I'm interested to know if there are any talent tree variations that would allow for decent dps when questing, but also maintain a fair amount of protection skill for tanking dungeons. Any advice or knowledge of a hybrid skill tree would help! Thanks for checking out my post. - Daveybutter

Awesome. All this info is good to know! Appreciate it my people!

So would I even need to be in def stance when tanking a dungeon even though I would be spec'd in arms? Or just equip a 1h and shield and stay in battle stance? I'm not sure how to calculate the 10% dmg reduction with staying in def stance.

Yea haha, that's pretty much where I'm at.

Honestly, after playing Arms last night even with most my my talent points in Prot I'm still dishing out decent dps. My warrior is level 21 and so far its working out well. I know that later on the biggest differences will come from where I decide to put my talent points, but I'm just trying to find the balance needed to be able to hold my own when tanking a dungeon, but also lay down some good dps when questing. Familiarizing myself with rage generation and knowing what skills to pass on and which skills to save my rage for has been the most fun honestly. I was surprised at how fast I took down some mobs just by overlooking stuff like heroic strike for cleave. Idk, I'm just hoping to find a happy medium...

So based on the recent news, the dev's have made it known that we should change our passwords. I cannot find the option to do so in the Control Panel for my account. Anyone have a link handy or can put me in the right direction? Thanks.

Right on! Thanks.

I downloaded questie, and I love the addon. Only problem is I cannot talk in general chat anymore. Anyone have an idea why?

Oh okay. Thanks guys. I just assumed that it was because of Questie. Before I added it I could access gen chat. After I added it, I couldn't.

So one of my character transfers from Nost is a priest. I remember specifically that I was going to level him holy. I've seen several videos and have read several post's about being able to heal as shadow while leveling. My priest is somewhere in the 20-30 bracket. My main reasoning for going holy is because I want to have a strong familiarity with the spells and have my rotation down for endgame. I'm debating going shadow to level easier, but would still appreciate the challenge of leveling holy. Any advice, thoughts, or insight is welcome! I never played priest during the vanilla days so its all still new to me. One Love. - Daveybutter

Thanks!

So my plan is to grind it out as a prot warrior come release. I was an arms warrior during the vanilla days. Never got into tanking until WotLK. Anyone got some all around macro insight? All ideas are welcome! Thanks.

Thanks! I appreciate the advice. Is switching stances something that is done throughout a pull? I've seen strategies where switcing stances during battle helps to generate more rage and use certain skills to boost dps/threat generation.

I guess something that auto taunt's when dealing with multiple targets. I know that protection warriors don't have the greatest AoE so being able to maintain threat is something I'm hoping to stay on top of.
