[quote]World of Warcraft (WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) created in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the fourth released game set in the fantasy Warcraft universe, which was first introduced by Warcraft: Orcs & Humans in 1994. World of Warcraft takes place within the Warcraft world of Azeroth, approximately four years after the events at the conclusion of Blizzard's previous Warcraft release, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Blizzard Entertainment announced World of Warcraft on September 2, 2001. The game was released on November 23, 2004, on the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise.
The first expansion set of the game, The Burning Crusade, was released on January 16, 2007. The second expansion set, Wrath of the Lich King, was released on November 13, 2008. The third expansion set, Cataclysm, was released on December 7, 2010. The fourth expansion set, Mists of Pandaria, was released on September 25, 2012. The fifth expansion set, Warlords of Draenor, was announced at BlizzCon 2013 and was released on November 13, 2014.
With over 10 million subscribers as of November 2014, World of Warcraft is currently the world's most-subscribed MMORPG, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG by subscribers. Having grossed over 10 billion dollars as of July 2012, it is also the highest grossing video game of all time, surpassing Call of Duty: Black Ops at 1.5 billion dollars. In January 2014 it was announced that more than 100 million accounts had been created over the game's lifetime.[/quote]

Death knights have three specs available to them - Blood, Frost and Unholy.
Blood focuses on bending corrupted life energies to sustain and attack his foes, sporting a two handed weapon and plate armor this is the Death Knight's tank spec.
Frost masters the runic energies accumulated by death knights and channels it into a bombardment of frost based attacks.
Unholy commands the necrotic diseases available to the death knight and controls undead minions and bolsters a formidable resistance to magic attacks.
All Death Knights use Runes and Runic Power as a resource system, Runes being depleted upon using a regular ability and Runic power being used to fill the time between your Runes recharging.

Druids have three specs available to them - Restoration, Balance and Feral. However in "Mists of Pandaria" the next expansion the feral tank and feral DPS specs are being seperated.
-Restoration uses nature energies to heal allies who are taking damage, focusing on "Heal over Time" spells and utilizing the powerful "Tranquility" cooldown which can heal an entire army in seconds.
-Balance employs a variety of spells powered by lunar and solar energies, by spending a certain amount of time in each "eclipse" they can severely increase the potency of their spells and when outnumbered can call upon stars to fall on their enemies.
-Feral is the only spec in game which has two roles, a player can choose to tank by shapeshifting into a bear or DPS by shifting into a feral cat form.
Naturally all druids are difficult to control due to being able to shift in and out of different forms and is ideal for any player who constantly becomes bored of performing a certain role.

The hunter can choose from Marksmanship, Beast Mastery or Survival.
-Marksmanship emphasizes a hunter's ability to fire devastating ranged attacks with a deadly accuracy.
-Beast Mastery utilizes a hunter's companion to it's fullest and even allows the hunter to tame exotic creatures from other worlds.
-Survival increases the damage/utility of a hunter's traps and allows them to fire explosives from range.
Hunters are capable of soloing things which other players could only do in a group through using their pets as the tank.

A mage can choose to spec either Arcane, Fire or Frost.
-Arcane uses the very essence of magic to destroy anyone who is dumb enough to let you get 4 stacks of arcane blast.
-Frost controls and cripples enemies and can line up powerful "shatter" combinations which cause large amounts of burst damage.
-Fire uses "Damage over Time" spells and can combine them into one powerful DoT and spread it amongst their enemies.
Mages are a pure DPS class and as such have high utility and probably the best AoE in the game at the minute.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wDMY8.png[/IMG]
A paladin is the second most versile class, being able to melee DPS, heal and tank through their Retribution, Holy and Protection specs.
-Retribution harnesses the holy light to correct any injustices in Azeroth, retribution has the highest burst DPS in the game.
-Holy uses the holy light to heal allies, holy specced paladins are also very useful because of their powerful cooldowns.
-Protection calls upon the holy light and guardians of ancient kings to protect themselves and their allies.
Paladins have a high skill ceiling, however it is not hard to play one decently.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5XwaQ.png[/IMG]
Priests can heal or DPS, they do however have a unique shield based healing spec.
-Discipline utilizes shields to protect enemies and powerful buffs to help heal or damage an enemy.
-Holy uses the holy light to heal allies, holy specced priests have a powerful raid cooldown similar to tranquility.
-Shadow uses twisted energies and diseases to distort an enemies thoughts and can even mind control enemies.
Priests are a very enjoyable class however their damage dealing is limited to DoTs so it may not be the best for people who enjoy fast action.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/swFxf.png[/IMG]
Rogues are a pure damage dealing class, however they rival mages in the art of controlling an enemy and bursting them down.
-Subtlety uses stealth, stuns and bleeds to hide from, disable and silence any victims while also bursting them down rapidly.
-Assasination specializes in poisoning and tearing their enemies to shreds using daggers.
-Combat enhances a rogues already formidable armory of combat skills, allowing them to shift between enemies extremely quick and strike two enemies at once.
Rogues are extremely fun to play and are not hindered by playing solo as they can control up to 3 people at once without a problem.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/uuo4d.png[/IMG]
Shamans can heal, melee DPS or ranged DPS and are a very well designed hybrid.
-Restoration uses the spirits of water and earth to bolster and heal allies.
-Enhancement uses the spirits of wind, fire and lightning to quickly deal high damage and can interrupt with the lowest cooldown in the game.
-Elemental uses the spirits of lightning and fire to deal high damage from a range, this specialization can duplicate their spells and cast while running making them extremely potent in combat.
Shamans are fun to play and have very interesting and fluid mechanics.

Warlocks are a pure DPS class who lack mobility in combat but make up for it in being able to share damage taken with their minions, making them almost tank like.
-Affliction corrupts an enemy and afflicts them with deadly fel magic to slowly destroy and leech their life energies.
-Demonology empowers the Warlock's minion and allows them to occasionally metamorph into a demon, increasing their spells damage twofold.
-Destruction uses fel magics to destroy an enemy in fel flame, commanding chaos energies to pierce any armors, physical or magical, an enemy may have.
Warlocks are durable, extremely deadly and fun to play and have amazing crowd control abilities.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JqO31.png[/IMG]
Warriors can tank or DPS and use next to no magical abilities to complete their roles.
-Protection specializes in controlling enemies through AoE stuns, charges and bleeds.
-Fury can dual wield 2 handed weapons and can deal devestating burst damage.
-Arms can helicopter with their weapons.
Warriors are a great class with fun mechanics such as charge and heroic leap.

New thread? Neato.
My new computer is coming in a week or two, and I have a tidy $20 in my Battle.net account. Can't wait to play the new expansion!
[quote="mon_ons"]good news everyone! we survived whatever the fuck happened to the rest of the forum[/quote]
Famous last words.
I think the female tauren jump animation is really ugly, oh and leveling through Mulgore is a pain in the butt. It looks nice, but having to walk over all those plains is a pain!
When does 6.1 come out anyway? I've been seeing a lot of nice touch-ups from some of the races and I want them immediately.
thank you for not making a dumb title

Someone on stormscale wants to up the price on blood of the mountain by over 1000%

Could be he's buying gold via the AH method, putting reasonable items up for a high price making it difficult to tell by Blizzard if someone's getting lucky with sales or they're trading money for ingame gold. It is very unlikely you will be banned for 'legitimate' trading on the auction house.
690 ring woo
Just got Gold proving grounds on my Unholy DK after struggling to get it for about a week. 5 item levels make a huge difference .-.

unless you were under the base item level, proving grounds scales up with you

But it would have been justified.
[QUOTE=mon_ons;46929462]unless you were under the base item level, proving grounds scales up with you[/QUOTE]
Still, I've noticed the same on my mage and DK. iLvL is basically all that matters in proving grounds.

Add to that a new heroic fist weapon and heroic trinket as well. Raid leader got mad at me for pugging but it's a small price for a good payoff.
Anyone recommend any decent Warlock Transmogs that aren't just raid tier sets? They're alright, but I'm getting a bit sick of seeing Corrupter Gear everywhere.
Finally I got my damn Stormwind Shoulders. Only took me like 5 bloody days :suicide:

I went for a light gear starting from the Cloth shoulders in Ulduar, they are like white & red, sort of priestly.
Been trying to get the vitreous stone drake for quite a while now
I'm beginning to wonder if going for the volcanic stone drake would be quicker at this point

dont hate but i managed to get that drake back in cata from doing normal dungeons whilst leveling.
Funnily enough i joined in that dungeon group just before the boss lol.
Just did 7/7 normal and 3/7 heroic with my guild and got 1 piece of gear -_- even off 5 coins I got nothing..
Why is Death Knight so damn fun?
Ok so my luck tonight, got nothing in raiding so me and a mate went to do some raids. First raid ICC 25 man, nothing good dropped. Second Raid Black temple, Offhand Glaive dropped and I got it. Third Raid MC and the left half of Thunderfury drops [IMG]http://puu.sh/evz0V/e4f53d490d.png[/IMG] I might just have luck after all :3
[QUOTE=Jarokwa;46931468]dont swear in guild chat dude[/QUOTE]
Yeah, believe it or not I almost got kicked for it :\
[QUOTE=byyzero;46931489]Yeah, believe it or not I almost got kicked for it :\[/QUOTE]
i can't even imagine using guild chat without swearing. i'd literally die in real life.
My guild didn't seem to mind when I swore in chat when I accidentally disengaged off the boss platform in UBRS again
