That said the Worgen running race was freaking insane in beta and that got "toned" down a bit.

Its still going to be silly for WSG. This is what I forsee.
Worgen stealths into base. Grabs flag, blinds anyone nearby. Racial..... sprint.... nitroboots (assuming they don't explode) ... speed boost (if needed) ... WIN

lol it will be a sick pvp talent thats for sure. I will prob do a worgen just to see the starting zone as I really do like the worgen vibe. Really do wish they were horde but sadly the undead had to go and bomb them lol

Just an FYI, the Worgen racial is sharing its Cd with sprint. So dont roll a Rogue Worgen ;-)

Also, Nitroboots and most potions (including free action pot) are being banned from rated BGs. They will still be usable in unrated battlegrounds.

Worgen Racial for Locks will be huge in PvP imo.

Silly question problaby but I've just bought the cata. upgrade direct from battle.net so would I be right in that the client I'm downloading is the full cata. release that'll be activated on the 7th? Also, it get's activated at midnight right? So I'd be able to play that day (Tuesday?), only asking so I can book the day off work.

If you use nitro boots while holding the flag it drops it. Also the same things that are banned in rated arenas will apply to rated battlegrounds.

Looking forward to rated battlegrounds. Though the pre-mades will rule hard.

Well, thats the whole point of rated battlegrounds, premades vs premades...

At least it will be much easier to balance than Arena

Just got Battlemaster title after spending 9 months trying to get it, in the last 3 months I was running SotA almost daily, FINALLY got my title!

Needed "Not even a Scratch" a lot of people got it early in Wrath but then the Demolishers just got nuked so easy, the quicker Demo's now kinda helped.

Now to sit back and wait for Cata!

If you are talking PvP I would say Feral and Mage respectively

You got sauce for this?

I'm not opposed to the idea but would be difficult to organise 40man av pre-mades.

Even other pre-mades for 20man wouldn't be a simple affair.

Would love to have the pre-made battles back. Were always fun

There won't be 40 man rated bgs the biggest bracket will be 15v15 so organising it shouldn't be a problem.

Here is the Rated battleground FAQ for more info http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/1171327
