The length of vanilla debuffs were insane. I was looking for Blood of Heroes yesterday and accidentally walked into a random mob who then promptly cursed me for 10m. If I wasn't a druid I would have been pissed, just like when I get that no-healing disease inside Strat that lasts for like 10 minutes.
A geared plate DPS would probably be enough, they stay in the boss' area grabbing all the little adds and AOEing them down while the boss is kited back towards the stairs way out of LOS.
I did it with a rogue staying in the room waiting for the guy. He doesn't do any damage worth worrying about. The person picking it up just has to keep aggro off a healer and also not kill it accidentally.
Actually I think the fight is both faster and easier doing it this way, no target switching involved or even the few seconds looking for the mob.
The Sunreaver dragonhawk looks pretty cool. The one you get for getting 100 mounts is just a regular level 5 dragonhawk from eversong.
EDIT: And STILL only 280, which is ridiculous considering it's really difficult to get 100 mounts without getting a 310 mount, or at least rolling with a group that's able to get them
The Sunreaver mount is neat color-wise, but I just hate that model. I mean, look at the non-membrane portion of the dragonhawk. It's basically a winged snake. I know we're working on the assumption of magic here, but how can those things carry anything heavier than a gnome, let alone a tauren?

It won't be hard after the expansion. For all of the "collect X amount" rewards they need to be careful not to make it too good lest a future expansion making it trivial becomes a big deal. That's my theory on why the reward mounts suck anyway.

Possible I suppose, although it'll be rendered rather moot, since now their plan in Catalcysm is to make 310% just a new rank.
Speaking of which, I wonder if they'll do a "if you have a 310% mount now, it's free" or not. Or if the rank is merely obtained by getting a 310% mount. Or what.
End on
I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

Thats not what he meant.
By buying 310 speed in Cataclysm, all of your mounts will have 310 speed. He is wondering if you already have 310, then all your mounts will scale to 310 free, or if you will have to pay the same as everyone else to get all your mounts to be 310.

They will. It was explained at Blizzcon when they announced that achievements would now be account-wide, instead of just character specific

That still doesn't answer the question.
Ok, say my character has two mounts, a 310% speed Rusted Proto Drake from an achievement, and a regular 280% Bronze Drake. In the expansion, would having the 310% speed mount automatically let the Bronze Drake go 310% instead, or would you have to pay for the next level of flying skill to get the Bronze Drake at 310%?

They've made it clear mounts will scale with your riding skill, so as long as people who currently have 310 speed will be grandfathered in, which would really suck if they took it away, all flying mounts will have 310.
EDIT: As far as I can tell, the RAF rocket reflects how all flying mounts will function come cataclysm. The tooltip says that the mount moves based on your riding skill, and it moves at 310 if you have a mount capable of moving at that speed.
They will. It was explained at Blizzcon when they announced that achievements would now be account-wide, instead of just character specific
They mean you'll have unique achievements tied to your b.net account for a global achievement score for the account.
They haven't said anything about the rewards for achievements being shared, have they?
If I had to guess I'd say mounts/vanity pets/tabards will become bind on account and titles might carry over, but the 310 skill itself won't. It's the major money sink in cataclysm and between ulduar proto drakes and ICC frost wyrms it's not exactly difficult to get in its current form
To me it sounded like regular 280 mounts will still be 280 until you buy the next flying skill. Current 310s will still be 310, natch. Maybe that's what you guys are saying.

I presumed they were speaking from the perspective of the majority of the playerbase; the one that won't have a 310 version upon cataclysm release. I saw the question as more of a follow-up to their announcement that mounts would scale with your riding skill and a clarification that "special 310 mounts" won't exist in Cataclysm. The Touring Rocket scales with your riding skill and DOES move at 310 speed, so I have no reason to presume this won't be the case when cataclysm hits, unless they take away the 310 speed from people who earned it via achievement and have them pay for it to regain the ability in cataclysm.
Let's say I went to Dire Maul to farm goblin rep, and saw a rare elite in the little fighting arena in the middle of the courtyard. I jumped down and killed him, and he dropped an Orb of Deception.
Now, if I save this for my goblin rogue (or shaman now that I saw those totems), will he turn into a worgen?
Happy: Definitely figured out that it's my video card that's screwing up and not letting me play.
Sad: The only way for me to see if I fixed it is to go buy a game card so I can try and log in to a character. And if it doesn't work, then that would be a waste of money.
Hate: A tank decided he has to pvp on his alt at scheduled raid times for the next xyz weeks and not tell anyone so we had 9 people twiddling the thumbs tonight waiting for him to work on the LK. When we asked him if he was coming he just ignored us and then when he finally did respond he acted like a 5 year old brat and general silly goose pissing the entire raid off

So, on my main I have the Glory of the hero achievement, so would my future worgen apt get it when I make him? And would learning one mount on one character mean that another character would learn it as well?
Hate: HOK in the queue. "Hey guys, can we try for the achievement on the first boss?"
ICC-geared 'lock: lol r u srs
Yeah, I'm serious. It's not hard, don't be rude. Thankfully the tank was open to it and asked what to do, I told him and said it was easy. Lock responds, "if you're skilled."
Yeah, it takes so much skill for one guy to off-tank some adds while everyone else kills the boss outside the room.
The the lock said I was a 'cute little munchkin' when we finished. Uh?
EDIT: Oh, I just looked over it again, he rolled need on the boss drops at the end, when he was ICC-geared. Yeah.
Now, if I save this for my goblin rogue (or shaman now that I saw those totems), will he turn into a worgen?
Should. That follows the existing pattern.
The most likely other alternative is that it'd be broken. ;-)
But they're going through and looking at all the old world equipment for Cata, I don't see how they'd miss something as popular as that Orb and fail to make sure it has a correct faction-faction link for the new races.
They made shadow really fun to play. Even though I don't have much experience with shadow spec before they buffed it. The only dots you need to recast are VT and DP.
My shadow gear fell so very far behind my disc gear that it just never gets used unfortunately. Even for farming and questing I find I'm better off just swapping in a single piece of hit gear and rolling as disc, so I've never developed shadow skills (and consequently suck at it).

EDIT: Not all heroics, either. Just the ones at launch. ToC and ICC 5 mans are exempt from the list
that albino dragon is the worst
They are the main thing holding me back from even caring about getting the achievement. I hate dragonhawks, and I dislike most of WoW's drakes.

Yeah. So terrible looking. :x
I kinda like my blue butterfly... er dragonhawk. I just wish it went 310% speed.

Annoyed 2: I paid attention to how much damage I was taking as well as his mana pool. It was only during boss fights that it actually got used up.
Annoyed 3: He left before I got to say something witty about me being a DK.
ICC-geared 'lock: lol r u srs
Yeah, I'm serious. It's not hard, don't be rude. Thankfully the tank was open to it and asked what to do, I told him and said it was easy. Lock responds, "if you're skilled."

Realization: Because at some point they changed it into a self-buff rather than a debuff that you cast on the enemy.
Happy: *tears*
Wait, really? I never ever play my shadow spec but that still makes me incredibly happy.
