Build 12857 (31.8.10)

W00t! Heroic Shadowfang Keep and Heroic Deadmines are gonna be in Cata after all on day of release. I remember a while back GC saying that they were not gonna be available, at least not initially, so that's good. =D

These humanoids, who have primarily affiliated themselves with the terrestrial ecoregion, have conclusively proven that they might have a strength I had not foreseen.

The logical course would to resort to methods I would not have needed previously.

That thing also looks awesome in it's relatively unpolished state. I can also see an army of paladins popping wings, popping Guardian of Ancient Kings, and then watching as half of them DC due to too much awesomeness.

I can't tell if that's supposed to be a human or a belf model, though. Looks as stocky as a human, but seems to me he's got a belf stance?

And Dmok, that would only be true in a battleground. An army of Alliance paladins doing this to the Horde - instawin.

(I think this is the first time in awhile I've been somewhat excited about paladin spells)

Though, I want wings like him!

definitely doesn't look like a BElf. It vaguely reminds me of the Draenei Male upper body skeleton.

It has more of the stance, though.

Could be a really fat belf. If they exist amongst those anorexic life sucking Horde, that is.

Prot-flavoured Guardian of Ancient Kings:

I'm pretty sure it's the Illidan/Metamorphosis model, with more sparkles.

[KysenMurrin]

I've not seen the details confirmed anywhere before, but from the video with a tooltip I can barely make out, Prot GAK reduces damage by 60% for ~15 seconds?

[PsiVen]

The buff is 60% damage reduction for 12 seconds. The spell itself says 80%, but I think that's a glitch with the Glyph of Divine Protection (which is supposed to turn DP into a 40% cooldown for magic only, but the tooltip changes to 40% all damage and the buff itself is unchanged, probably NYI).

Our Guardian for all 3 specs.
I know it's early to talk about numbers, but they should really tweak them properly. I'm far from impressed. For such a long cooldown, it better be damn good (mostly about holy and ret) to justify that. Pseudo-shadowmourne aura for rets :/
