Re: Get Sick or Get Demons

"get sick or get demons" sounds like an awesome name for a quest. Maybe one where the local townsfolk fall ill with a fever each night and you have to consult a bunch of demons to find the root cause.

I'd love new custom spell animations and sounds as a gold sink. Especially if they are tied to flavorful extant or new quest chains. There's already precedent for this in mage being able to unlock alternate polymorph forms (turtle, pig, etc). Give us male succubus (incubus) too! hiding_smth_turtle S...

Re: Shaman tank ideas for the Enhancement talent tree

The lightning shield talent should really expand the number of charges of all elemental shields instead. As far as anything non raid boss is concerned shamans are already great against caster type enemies because of earth shock just being part of their rotation. Elemental resistance totems and the s...

Re: Meme-tanking dungeons

Good write up. As a shaman you don't even need raid gear to tank dungeons as long as you take the survivability talents in the enhancement tree. It's quite viable on Turtle WoW. I've tanked anything at 60 just with dungeon blues. Some dungeons --like scholomance with all its casters -- are even easi...

druids ctrl + click on an item shows you a preview for how it would look on your character. That's useless though when shapeshifted (bear form, cat form, wisp, etc).

90 damage instead of 103-123 corresponds to about 20% reduction from armor. That's around the armor values you would expect from many common enemies in the world.

Re: Remove DW warrior's HS queueing OH +hit bonus

This only affects the class in an area where they already (overly) excel at, namely well geared fury warriors in raids with consumables and/or world buffs. It doesn't hurt in areas that I already find problematic as a warrior player like the arduous leveling experience, so it's fine in my book.

The main reason tents are placed at the Gurubashi arena is the convenient teleport from the faction capital to the arena.
