Im sure my officers are on crack or something, we had a paladin who passed his trial 2 weeks ago, he's passable at best and inferior to our previous paladins (similar performance, higher icc buff, more gear) and now he's getting the next shadowmourne......

Oh dear :( We are in a similar situation actually! One warrior has his, and our retadin will have his next week, but next person 'in line' is a DK who we know for certain will be leaving guild and forming his own come Cataclysm. He's also a ***** to boot, and always causing trouble!

Trouble is, our other warriors/DK's havent bothered doing the quests so are kinda far behind in that respect! We have one guy who has done them, but he's only passed his trial 2 weeks ago, great guy and nice dps, so I'm pumping for him to get it even if he IS just new! Don't wanna give SM to that little **** though lol. Oh well, maybe he'll cause enough trouble when he realises hes not getting it to give me an excuse to gkick him now :D
 


Decided to get back into ui modding, starting with revamping all my icons, wtb feedback on the presence icons.

on the sm front i have 2 shards -.-, thats when they decided that this new paladin would get the next weapon, those two shards are going to taunt me for a long time

Right, I have not played a Priest at 80 since playing my friends as I mainly tank and need some advice on my new 80 Priest if any of you lot are knowledgable!

I will be Disc/Shadow and currently have Merlin's Robe, Bejeweled Wizard Bracers, Leggings of Woven Death crafted (I can buy all those again if they work for both specs as gemming will be different) and was wondering what else to get in regards to emblems. I know my trinkets, rings etc but I am confused as to whether to go for 2p t9 bonus for both specs or just get the gloves and offspec shoulder/helm meaning no t9 bonus.

Thanks!

Edit: Money is no issue I have 'plenty' so anything else I should get made? Belt or anything? (on my server the ICC25 Neck/Ring aren't on AH so thats a no no)
 
Can't say for Disc, but for shadow - get the Deathfrost bots crafted - they will do you well into T10 content.

From badges get wand with hit, helps with hit later on once you drop some of your pieces with hit on. Trinkets abyssal rune from TOC normal, Nevermelting Ice Crystal from PoS hc.

As for T9, yeah the 2PC bonus is nice, but not massive dps upgrade, can be quite hard to adjust to shorter VT time after wearing it acually! Link your armory and also www.shadowpriest.com and look at the best raiding gear sticky, all you'll ever need to know!
 
Ah cheers for the reply, I know a Shadow Priest very well, was more wanting the healing side. I've got the chest, legs, boots and bracers crafted for shadow, got the wand from emblems and got the staff from heroic PoS I think with hit on it. I'm almost hit capped so thats ok.

I've decided to go Holy and sorted most of my gear from a night of farming dungeons, just need one trinket, 2 rings, cloak and I am all sorted for Holy. Friend healing in 25man guided me on that.
 
Badges for tier gear is what's ruined the experience for me. You can be fully tier 9 in about 2 days if you hammer the randoms.

Having tier 1/2 gear at 60 actually used to show that you'd completed certain content and the difference between epic and blue was massive. The designs on the weapons and armor were completely unique as well.

Dare I say, the art direction on the in game items seems to have got a little lazy?

I wouldnt disagree with that. Was taking approx a year break, realised my account had been hacked in my absense, finally got it restored, then managed to get my main to relatively high gearing level (IC capable) within a week or so NOT hammering stuff.

Same with my warlock. I've been fairly tight on time (and PC access) which has limited my ability to raid, but you're right, they've made it very easy to get to a certain gear level, and bypass a LOT of content. Which is a shame, so many old instances arent used already, without them bypassing current expansion content too!

Also agree on the declining difference between Epic and Blues...there are still some VERY nice epics out there that are far better than almost anything else, which was kinda the point, but an average epic vs a decent blue...suddenly the difference really isnt so pronounced.

To some extend I'd agree on the art direction on items, but when you consider the vast number of items now, it was always going to be a case of the same design team running out of semi-decent ideas. One of the reasons a new engine, capabilities and modelling potential, along with some fresh blood, might help.
 
The Cata artwork looks really god damm nice though.

They are also using some DX11 effects which should be nice. Shame my gfx card can't do DX11 :p
 
My guild killed LK10 HC last night. Only took us 10 attempts but then we have been wiping on the 25 man version for several weeks now so it's not like we don't know the fight.

Hopefully we can get the 25 man version down and I can get Invincible before Cata. \O/

Man I take it you don't work? :) That should be at least 2 weeks play not 4 days :)

I am finding it annoying to get ICC raids now, having taken a break just as it hit and returning people won't take me unless I have 6/12 or some other achievement :)

Anyone else experiencing this?

My guild are busy running Heroic modes, they said I can tag along but think that's unfair.
 
I really cba with wow atm tbh. I log on see a few of my guildies chat for a while and then log off go on SC2 and chat to them from there :p

That said I am now very VERY tempted to start grinding the ZG raptor and rep as they are taking ZG out now. Well happy I have my ZG tiger. (Orc btw so really nice) But I would like the ZG raptor too.

Heard about this yesterday, I am even more bitter now having lost a roll on the Raptor TWICE!

2/3 weeks after I lost the Raptor for the second time I began soloing him. Fury Warrior.

Wish I never brought a friend there, he buggered off with someone else who needed opposite mounts anyway when we had some agreement between us.
