I was referring to the tabard, Karilyn.

In fact that's what I thought you were talking about because I misread your post.


...I am not good at Tuesdays.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of transferring some of my level 60 alts off server.


Any Ideas of where I should send them?

Apparently the whole "mana to focus" change that Blizzard is planning for Hunters is taking effect Friday.


I am not sure whether I should be excited or afraid.

Ooh I should actually play my hunter now.

...Or make a new one because she's so badly geared I don't even want to deal with it.

Dude really?

Oh god. I so seriously want to log in, even if I'm a little afraid too.

One of alts my that I like a lot is a Hunter.

Yeah.

My guess is that playing Hunter will be less like "DEAL AN ENDLESS BARRAGE OF ATTACKS AND DON'T TAKE BREAKS YOU CAN DRINK AFTERWARDS LOSER" and more about spacing your attacks so that your focus has a chance to recharge.

I could be completely wrong, though.

Well Focus is more or less the same as Energy.

So it's more likely going to result in..

"Spam the button until you have enough Focus to use the attack, then switch to the next attack in your rotation"

I just spent like 3 hours just flying over Outland. I got the achievement for discovering all the locations.

I think I got, like, over half the XP towards level 64 just for finding all those places.

...I have a thing for filling out maps in video games.

You do your best to fill things...

Arr, I don't think they're implementing any of the big changes just yet. They are going to be REVEALING a lot of the changes over the next few days though, starting with Shammies, Priests and Warlocks today. MMO-Champion has a lot of the details. I could be wrong about the hunter thing, but I doubt they'd make a change so dramatic before the major patch.

EDIT: Besides, they'd then have to remove all intellect from the mail gear, and ALSO revamp Shammies so they were compatible with the new gear too.

Yeah that's normal Nancymaker. It's how Blizzard did it for WotLK too.

1. Announce all planned changes for the new expansion
2. Start expansion beta
3. Revert nearly all awesome changes they had promised over the course of the beta, leaving you with the leftovers.
4. Patch the above changes into the game, nerf all game content to let people kill the Lich King in the last weeks.
5. Few weeks later, Cataclysm is released.
6. Servers crash
7. After several weeks of server instability, Blizzard nerfs your class.
Besides, they'd then have to remove all intellect from the mail gear, and ALSO revamp Shammies so they were compatible with the new gear too.
Not as bad as you'd think. Equipment is for the most part defined by algorithms. Only a few pieces of gear are custom crafted by developers. It would just require changing the algorithm, to no longer put Int on those pieces of gear.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that in the list somewhere.
