    That's what I did, although it was months ago so unno. There's no really decent OH sword, I ended up grabbing the PvP dagger for lack of badges on that account. Not really optimal, but well... At least I had both swords and daggers close to maxed at 80!

    I mentioned this a page or two ago, but blizzard has commented on the in-game earthquakes:

    I haven't noticed any earthquakes. Where are/have they happened?

    I have missed them too. I really like how Blizzard adds this crap before an expansion. We need some world bosses attacking major cities for no reason. That would be awesome.


    Nothing beat the carpet of bones leading into a city when Kazzak showed up before BC.

    That event was pretty awesome. I wasn't at the level cap at the time, so I had to sit and watch as high level guilds would roll in and try to deal with Kazzak. It was fun though, watching them try to down him, and watching lowbies run in and feed him health!

    Have an 80 run you through Sethekk Halls (a player can get into the early Outland 5mans at 55) till 60, then go HFP.

    edit: Then, I suppose Felwood or Winterspring are your options. I personally prefer Winterspring over Felwood because Felwood is a pain to quest quickly in (for me, at least) since the zone is one long line. Winterspring is not the best either, but at least you don't run up and down the zone.

    The confusing thing is that when I do my daily on my main - usually as a tank - I invariably get paired with at least one, sometimes two, unbelievably geared and passably skilled DPS (3500-4000) who still somehow manage to have under 18k hp in cloth and think that it is their right, nay, their duty to pull the next pack before I do (which means before Death and Decay has refreshed, which means, since I am currently in a Blood raid tank spec, I often simply cannot get adequate threat all of the additional pull before it beats the hell out of the horrible mag- oh, he ice blocked, they just killed my healer instead.)

    I wanted to take issue with the bolded part, I guess because I'm not really sure what you're qualifying as exceptionally geared. My mage pulls about the 3500-4000 overall dps range in heroics, and is in just about the best gear I can get without raiding/high end crafting (badge T9, some badge gear, heroic ICC5 gear). He has 16.5k hp. I think stam just isn't that easy to come by on cloth.

    As for the asshattery part, well, morons are morons.

    I have taken all my alts at 55 or 56 to Hellfire Peninsula. It is not the least bit hard to do. I play on a low pop server, and it has never taken me more than 2 minutes and a couple gold to find a port to Shat, then the run to Thrallmar should take you about another 10 or less minutes. You can't get the quests here, but with rested XP, just killing the demons and hellboars south of Thrallmar will level you to 58 in a hurry. If you are alliance there are demons and hellboars south of Honor Hold too. Most anything in the area can be dealt with by a 55 or 56.

    Hell, my Mage *just* broke 17k HP the other night and he has two 245 crafted epics and virtually everything else is 232 or 219 epics. I have him in pretty much the best possible gear I can get from doing just heroics and no raids.


    So, regarding my Prot Pally farming Argent Dawn rep, I didn't realize they had added a flight point at the Bulwark and a flight point at the river between EPL and WPL. That's astoundingly convenient. Even if the one at the river is extremely... unbelievable. It's just a single flight master hanging out in the middle of scourge hostile territory, no encampment protecting him or anything. Just odd.

    Anyway, I did most of the quests for Strath along with having my trinket equipped and gained about 18k rep from two runs/quest turnins. So I'm about 2.5k into Revered now. Doesn't seem like it'll be too bad really, might finish it up tonight, but if not tomorrow.

    No tanking sword from Tyrannus again, even ran H HoR and no tanking axe either. Did get the tanking neck piece though, which pleases me. My Prot Pally is *nearly* over 3k AP completely unbuffed.

    I also ran H CoS for my random last night and was quite solidly top DPS for the run at around 3.1k or so, while I was tanking. Next highest was around 2.6-2.7k I think.

    I was pretty surprised to see the option to skip all the lore in HoR a few days after it was released.
    You mean a few weeks?

    No, he means a few days.

    The option to skip the lore in HoR was in in less than a week, IIRC.
    Somehow I interpreted HoR as ToC, which did take weeks before we could skip it. But yeah, the option to skip the lore in HoR was there from the start. I'm not sure why that's surprising at all since they added a skip option to ToC.

    I don't know, I just very rarely see anyone under 18k that isn't either:
    1) Poorly geared (as in blues/greens/no enchants/green gems, not as in OH NOES SOME OF THEIR EPICS ARE 219)
    2) One of these cockmunchers that believe it's my job to save them from their own idiocy

    It just seems to be the magic number - like 4K was in vanilla - where while there's nothing really 'wrong' if you have enough glass cannon type low stamina high DPS gear that you don't get there, most people get there anyway without even trying as long as their gear is decent; and many of the less sturdy classes don't seem to ever get significantly past it (cloth and trees are the ones I've noticed).

    Admittedly, though, this has always been looking in a group setting, and while it's easy to discount Fort since it's so obvious, there may have been some blood pact/comm shout/possibly even kings going on, and I doubt I paid any attention to paw either since it's only ~400.

    For what it's worth, my hunter is right around 16k unbuffed and is firmly in category 1.

    Yeah, but you don't get to see little glowy hammers go zinging off into the air when HotR misses. That and I doubt Cleave chains like HotR does... which is interesting to watch. You can actually hit a mob much further away than melee range if it chains off of three of his buddies along the line.

    The misses are almost as entertaining as when Avenger's Shield misses the first target... but hits the others. So it goes flying off at a weird direction, then boomerangs back around to hit the other two.

    Man, Prot Pallies have some amusing ability misses.

    On the subject of leveling in the high-but-not-in-hellfire-50s, try the Plaguelands. If you haven't been there yet and you're over 55, you can probably hit 58 without leaving those two zones and with quests left over.

    Well, I dredged up some screenshots from my guild's first few kills in Naxx, and it looks like our raiders had 6-8k HP buffed, and the MT was at a beastly 13.5k

    I can't remember how much stam you got from the various buffs which all stacked at the time, but I do recall having about 10k HP on my holy paladin when we did Loatheb due to the extreme world buffz
