    I dont like the new talent trees, at least how ive played them in beta. I hate they took it down to like 1 pt every 5 lvls :(

    Love aoe loot tho!! that and account wide achievements/mounts are the best part of this patch.

    Edit: i also like they removed the cap on dailies. So if i want to mindlessly run dailies all day, i can :)

    Love that they removed the daily cap. The talents and spell changes will take some getting used to. I've been a priest healer for so long and set in my ways with all my macros for certain spells. Hopefully it won't take long to get the changes down.

    The AOE loot will be amazing when farming. A little excited about that one!

    ok, my biggest gripe, i lost my totem bar :(

    i have to scroll thru all the totems, they dont even save the totems i want on the bar anymore.

    what tank is going to wait for that? ugh!

    Ran ICC 25 for achievements tonight. Pretty easy adjustment on the boomkin, so far.
  • I am kind of disappointed with the talent tree...

    lame...

    I have to say I'm pouting pretty hard. All the talents for priests don't seem geared towards healing. Where are my healy talents???

    I am dual spec'd holy and shadow. It does seem that there are far more talents focused on dps than heals. Made me sad.

    My mage....the rotation is so different and tbh, seems weird that as an arcane mage - frost fire is my main attack.

    Maybe I have become a gamer resistant to change after all these years...lol
  • My best friend just sent me a text that the patch went live - all of your comments are scaring me LOL I haven't been active since last April. Debating if I should even attempt to come back - or if I should put my resto druid on the back shelf and try my mage out

    What the what? I haven't really been playing.. looks like I need to hop on and figure this all out! I'm a fire mage and only sorta played around with talents on the beta.. what should I be prepared for? Haha.

    Fire seems to be fairly similar to pre-patch as far as rotation. I havent actually played my fire mage yet, will as soon as i hang this load of laundry on the line. but so far, mostly similar.

    arcane is way different tho.

    I'm an arcane mage, sounds like I need to scope this out. I haven't played in about 6 months.

    I was really impressed with MoP when playing beta, and my main complaint was the healing rotation for healadins (my main is a healadin).

    Even though I have the CE of MoP ordered, it looks like I'll be shelving WoW for a bit. I'm liking SWTOR more anyways.

    How long have you been playing WoW?
  • Debating if I should pay the $19 or $20 to reactivate my account. For those of you who are currently actively playing and have patched, is it worth a return?

    I found this extremely helpful. As an arcane mage, I was completely lost lol.
  • Try watching this guy on Youtube. Preach is pretty damn awesome! He knows his stuff - raids with Method, so I suppose you'd have to know what you're doing, no?

    I felt very ballin' rolling through Org on a 2 seater rocket this afternoon on a lv 28 character. My account was like purple drakes rockets and pets for everyone.

    Okay you all are scaring me. I've only had time to look at my priest. My main is an arcane mage and from what I'm hearing they've killed it. That soooooooooo does not make me happy. :( I love playing her and kicking butt.

    I have to agree with this though... my little 35 warrior took my motorcycle and rocket out for a ride earlier. My little guild all went "EEEPPPP" over that because all our mains have the two seaters and it sucks when you need to get someone some where and you aren't using your main.

    Figure I'd just log on too see what what its like since I stopped paying attention to the game for a while. Seems they fixed alot of problems I've complained about Priests for a while. Shadow got a good revamp though I was getting stomped in pvp using 377 gear.

    agreed, new talent trees suck :( AoE lootz for the win! No more carpal tunnel syndrome for rep grinders. I cleared 5k worth of Cenarion Circle rep in minutes, awesomeness! Not loving that all priests are now expected to be DPS/heal hybrids...bleh.

    Played for six years. Probably just burned out on it.

    I don't like the Talent System - all of my existing characters are crippled until that starts to make sense. Most of their Quickslots are now empty due to that.

    Also, my female druids now turn into male stags as a running form, with Christmas Tree decorations hanging from their full set of antlers!!

    I have pre-ordered MOP but not sure I will be renewing my subscription when it expires. Cataclysm was a disaster - MOP is looking even worse. Hope the Monks and Pandas are worth it.
  • Count me as another one who's not crazy about the new Talent system. I was looking at various builds for my alt Ret Pally and I finally went, "Hmmm, most of this really doesn't help me all that much". Then again I'm PvE, so maybe the PvP'ers have better use for some of those "improvements".

    AoE looting is awesome and pets for everyone is pretty cool. While losing some of my fav quickslots bummed me out, I personally found my Ret Pally to be more buffed than I previously remembered. Maybe because I hadn't played in a while, I dunno................

    My main toon is my Demonology 'Lock. Haven't looked into his Talent system yet, so I'll try and check it today..............

    The warlocks have gotten more intersting of late. I really like mine and had not been playing her at all since I got her to 85. She's the one I've played the most since the talent system changed.

    I agree! My warlock is my main and I'm finding her a lot more engaging and better than what the majority of Cata had to offer me.

    So not stoked about no midnight launch where I am though. :(

    Also, I have the prepaid MoP ready to go on launch night and can put in a couple of hours before I hit the sack as all I have planned is the gym.

    ok SWTOR i get...they went f2p within the first year, but Rift? they seem to be still going strong. No one will ever have as strong a following as WoW im sure, as the market is too saturated with mmorpg or mmofps games. but i dont think that means anything but WoW is crap.
