It will be very troublesome because to progress, you have to start from MC, then BWL, AQ40, Naxx, being the progression for 40man raids. Then when your raid is nearly geared in T3 gears, or you have at least 30members in T3, you can then do the 25man raids. Then what about the remaining 10-15 raid members who aren't sufficiently geared? They get left behind? Guilds in the last 2 years were built for 40man raids, and future guilds will be built for 40man raids too. People say recruit 10 more people, which is easier said than done. Or kick 15 people out. All in all, it's a very short-sighted move by Blizzard..

wtf. taunt and bloodlust. take away the lore from the classes.

wtf. taunt is debatable
but bloodlust is definitely returning back to the lore of shamans

however the new mounts for the new races are abit too much i would say
BE get cockatrice and the Draenei get elekk (looks like an elephant)

Just my guess...

You won't need tier2 or tier3 to level to 70, although they will speed things up. Once you level to 70, you'll get new lv70 gears doing doing the new 5-mans and 10-mans. You then take those 5/10-man gears to tackle the 25-man instances. The same way you did scholo/dm to get gears to do MC. So basically the guilds already doing Naxx/AQ40 have to start all over. But the tier2s and tier3s will make things easier.

game doesn't really follow lore. shamans in WoW now are supposed to be in-tune with the earth and use elemental/earthly magics. bloodlust was actually an orc thing....probably caused by the effects of the bloodpact. thats why in-game it only increases melle attack power and is a racial for ORC.

zzz
i hate it when ppl think they know the lore better than blizz
go play warcraft 3 and come back and try and tell me what u just said again

So a much better PVP system

lol another perspective, I think they might introduce tougher mobs from level 61 to 70 as that 10 levels would most likely need u to have at least level 60 gear to kill them. I dont think having a level 55 gear would be able to run them down so easily.

Reducing the number of players in the raid would then mean the INCREASE in demand for better gear and better skill .

Newbie with 3000hp 4500mana compared with Veteran 5000hp 8000mana is surely a big big different thing

actually blizz has said that u can level 61 to 70 even without tier 2 and 3 raid gear
ppl with high end raid gear will not find many enticing upgrades till the upper 60s to 70

same here...

lore? lol silly people.

did you even read what was posted?

QUOTE

game doesn't really follow lore

i guess not. not even one bit.

game here = warcraft 3.

want a definition of bloodlust? here.



shamans are essentially the same as druids, in that they are very peaceful. only difference is that shamans get guidance from spirits and the earth. druids are in-tune with nature.

and this isn't in warcraft universe only. applies in general.

yes i read what u posted and i do not need a definition of bloodlust
and we are talking lore here not what bloodlust applies in general
blizz created the lore and i don't remember them saying that shamans are peaceful
in tune with nature...yes......peaceful....i don't think so
unless u can provide a link to refresh my memory
and in WC3 when orcs were supposedly past their demonic past, guess what their shamans could cast?! Bloodlust of coz!!
and u can't say they didn't follow lore coz....they MADE the damn lore
