I'll double check links and stuff later. If you have anything else you'd like added to the OP let me know.
Since [Chat] is the most generalized WoW topic in G & T, I'd like to make the OP useful. But also keep the title entertaining.
Whether it's professions, raiding, player vs player, or just general emotions about things, World of Warcraft probably owns your soul.
Discussions specific to Deathknights, Druids, Hunters, Mages , Paladins, Priests, Rogues, Shaman, Warlocks and Warriors exist nearbye.
If you're looking to join PA groups:
Obsidian Spurs are a Horde guild on Sargeras US based out of G&T
Beasts of Unusual Size are a Horde guild on Ravenholt US RP-PVP based out of G&T
Obsidian Spur are an EU guild on Saurfang based out of G&T
Shambler Milk are a Horde guild on Cho'Gall US based out of SE++
Clawshrimp and Co are an Alliance guild on Draenor US PVE based out of G&T.
Blah blah something about Penny-Arcade Alliance @ Dark Iron (i.e. if you tell me the data, I can post it here!)
There's a guild somewhere based out of DnD, but I couldn't find it right away, I'll add link later
Or heck, even if all you want to do is talk about your wicked UI set up or laugh/cry about the rogue named "Sneakywarrior" that you saw, we have homes for those too.
Absolutely!

In an only SLIGHTLY attention whore-ish note, my life has been pretty chaotic/hectic recently, so if you guys have something else that needs added/changed go ahead and ask in the thread, or PM me and I should see it eventually to update this thing.

* x - Notes added in the 2nd notes update of the day.
General
* Flying mounts can now be used in Ghostlands.
* x Resilience scaling has been modified for linear returns, as opposed to increasing returns. Under the new formula, going from 30 resilience to 40 resilience gives players the same increase to survivability as going from 0 to 10. Resilience now scales in the same way armor and magic resistances do. A player with 32.5% damage reduction from resilience in 4.0.6 should see their damage reduction unchanged in 4.1. Those with less than 32.5% will gain slightly. Those with more will lose some damage reduction, increasingly so as their resilience climbs.
Classes
Death Knight (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Skills/Talents)
* x Raise Ally has been redesigned to be a battle resurrection, analogous to Rebirth. It is instant cast, but costs 50 Runic Power to use, and has a 10-minute cooldown. It shares the same global battle resurrection cap with Rebirth and Soulstone.
Blood
* x Blood Shield now only works while in Blood Presence.
Frost
* x Frost Strike now deals 130% of weapon damage, up from 110%.
* x Howling Blast damage has been increased by 20%. To compensate, the area-of-effect splash now does 50% of the single-target damage, down from 60%. The net result of this change leaves the area-of-effect damage roughly the same as 4.0.6 numbers.

* Lambs to the Slaughter now causes Mortal Strike to refresh Rend in addition to its current effects.
Fury

General

Do you, in fact, have any builds in this shop at all?

But I guess that's cuz as a healer I get to decide who lives.
and who dies.
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/10/7/
I'll be honest, I'm indifferent about pugs myself. DK tank, so I'm capable of making up for a not-insignificant amount of phail in pugs. I just saw a lot of angry pug discussion in the last thread.
Also if everyone hates pugs so much, they should get greyhounds instead.
I do this all the time in pugs though. Hence the name <--
I've decided that the ice cream lives.
Ice cream will never die!
nope, pretty sure you are happy
Maybe because I'm a good geared tank?
It's always going to be relative, but I find that if you're a well geared tank, you can make up for most of the bad things that happens.
As a healer, my bad pug ratio is pretty high. I get undergeared, underknowledged tanks, DPS that pulls aggro, stands in shit, does not CC, etc.
As a tank, your main concerns are what? holding threat against dps and reducing damage from healers. Since you can control the pace much better than other roles, you are able to modulate mediocre pugs into average pugs. I have much less control over my group as a healer (to do well, I can always make my group fail) and therefore probably notice mediocrity much faster/am more sensitive about it.
P.S. - Elemental Airs and Large Brilliant Shards are way too damn expensive right now (these are the mats for +AGL to weapon enchant which can go on heirlooms). I really don't want to farm them, but I suppose that makes me part of the problem :P
They'll switch your sword, but you have to tell them what you want it replaced with. they usually don't just refund points. I traded one of the trinkets for the sword two months ago and I had had the trinket for a year.
Luckily I have a low level druid, so everything was ok.
I told them either a refund or exchange it for Heartseeker (same cost)
How do they breath?!?! Oh thats right, through their mouths.
I'll be here all week, tip your waitresses.
Pugging while eating ice cream? That's the best.
That's what makes them the best dog
Doing a backflip with your car? That's awesome. Doing it while eating ice cream? Awesomest!
Totally dumb question time! BoA gear means every character I have, right? Across factions?
All characters on the server the item was bought on, across factions. BoA's are the only items you can mail cross faction.
(There used to be a loop hole where you could put gold in a mail with a BoA and send it cross faction, but Blizzard patched that pretty quick).
Enchants will work as long as the character is of lvl to use it. If not it will still be there but say something like "not meet the requirement". But will work when they do.
Thanks! Now to just predict what class I'd like to raise next. Augh.
Just felt that needed to be quoted.
SW:Tor - Tao - Kryatt Dragon Server
Ah, if only that were true.
What a wonderful world it would be.
Stonecore Heroic last night, went through not one, not two, not three, but five tanks. Three before the first boss. Never even downed Ozruk.
7.5k DPS is awesome, no?
