to be honest, I was more relaxed in this expansion, rather than zerging through to 85.

I am taking it more slowly. There are no doubts that the quests flow are much much.. much better and it flows very smoothly. It's not like you have to travel half the map for one quest and to the other half for another, spending half the time travelling between quest givers and objectives.

In terms of dungeons, I must say, I am impressed with the difficulty and the way they tune the heroics. No i have yet to have done any heroics as I am still 83 (that's how slow I am), my guildies was saying like what alexision said, if your group for heroics are taking too much damage, it's either you are not geared enough or you have the strategy wrong, your group is takign too much unecessary damage.

There are much more coordination, CC and adds handling to think about rather than zerging through instances after instances and hitting up Raids like we hit Naxx within a week in WoLTK. You don't do heroics until you have at least an avg of ilvl 333 gears.

I think this xpac has a lot of potentials..  giving alot of people more space to breathe.. encourage us to farm normal then heroics then only to raids..

ill do 10k dps. herp

forgot to mention i did that on lvl 83

yes, mana effeciency... most healer ignored that and spammed like good ol' wrath till the point that worries me, in dps role, to help spam HL/WoG on the tank to make sure he has enuf health to do his job... just to get responses like 'omg 2k dps ur bad' from the tank himself (who never noticed WoG/ HL/ LoH gotten his buttock saved) or the egomaniac healer who told me, the dps to stop healing even when his mana is so dried up till the point he cannot spam any spells.

i couldn't blame the healer for the wipe but sometimes i would blame the tank, yes like 90% of those stupid tanks like to stand onto bad stuff and force me, the dps to run outta it so that the healer would have 1 less target to heal

and to those dps with heal spells, those are f**kin' heal spells on ur f**kin' skill. just f**kin' use those f**kin' skills or remove wholely from the f**kin' skillbars or ROLL A F**CKIN' PURE DPS CLASS!!!

*My shammy just ding 83  BTW I notice one thing about healers going oom. They didn't read tooltip on which spells cost how much mana >.> Usually those who fail would be casting those low/fast cast time. May not be that helpful but hope it can help some people on Resto Shamans, always cast rip tide then healing wave x2 or x3 and repeat. Usually wont fall below 95% even if u kept spamming only that 2 spells. Don't use healing surge at all unless really no choice. Opt for Greater healing wave when really needed instead. But I'm still lv 83 only so I'm not sure on lv85 or at heroics. For other classes im not sure at all, but i know for priest flash heal is bad like healing surge.

Maybe someone could start a topic like "healing tips and tricks for cata" *

BRC and Throne of Tides healing is still bearable. Heck now Stonecore is also quite easy with the proper cc ,interupts and melee gtfo from the cleaves (they love to stand in front of the mobs, dont they?).

Best healing moment so far yesterday with miesa n asterz, lol i let the tank die 2 times in HOO, and instant brez him. While I am trying to be as mana efficient as possible, that dumb tank cannot stay alive if i dont spam regrowth + swiftmend. Still blaming that tank for not resorting to cc much.

Plus, they should remove the damn talent of nourish/healing touch refreshing the lifebloom. Boy so hope for the bloom to bloom, but tank dies b4 that. Blizz, gimme a button similiar to swiftmend pls!!!!

Oh btw, we got a repeat of the time asterz stuck n die on the lift in ICC in HOO, that was epic.

wait, dun vote me off, i dun sux at dps NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuu....... *poof*

just get a heal capable class to help with heals, encounters like this sometimes requires an additional help to lessen healer's burden. you dun wan to see healer went oom at the end of the fight.

paladin also can waaaat...

i dun hate drood as much as RP hating warlocks and dks, but solely becuz they are 'balanced'

Actually so far I have not voted people off for low dps.
Cause they are usually quite aware of their surroundings and good at staying alive.
As long as they are alive, they can continue to do more damage unlike a dead one.

The runs are getting smoother now as the tanks and healers are getting more geared.
Though we still have either the tank too undergeared or the healer as any manner of cc that we use still can't save the tank. 
Cause when you inspect them, you see quite a few greens and icc content epics.
So how they got in? Its because they have higher level items in their bags that are not relevant for them to wear to push them pass the item level to enter heroics. 

But I guess sooner or later this problem would be lesser since there would be more epic geared people that can carry the group in a month or two.

Soothe for the win.

Able to sap in battle (I forgot what was the skill name) is always good cc.
Can HOJ stun a mob.
Bubbling the healer works really great as well.

Just that they can't innervate the healer.

Its ok for me as I can cover that bit. Just have to burn a pot if required.
Assassination rogues deal a lot of damage when the mob goes below 35% health.

What bugs me are still those that don't know what is happening, standing in fire, falling off ships, bombing the group and dying every fricking time a boss targets him to charge. Bye bye dear. *boot*

not anymore, soothe work on boss too
Completely revamped in Cataclysm.
costs more mana,
and dispels all enrage effects off of the target.

Now that I'm 80, I can finally take my first step into the new zones. My first zone so far is Mount Hyjal, and I'm like it so far. The quests aren't too hard, but some of them will require you to think how best to complete them. For example, the Baron Geddon quest, and also the A Bird In Hand quest, which presents you with a moral choice.

Gonna go back home for Winterfeast Christmas for a few days, so now WoW till then. 
Happy Winterfeast Christmas and happy holidays everyone! 

no way man on my server it takes longer for horde to enter bg's then it takes allies.
