It's kind of annoying to see a good sword upgrade but know you have to run to stormwind to train it (or in the case of a newb not know what you need to do or where to get sword training).

you don't train weapon skills anymore afaik

I'm sure that has been removed the skilling up required, maybe could be possible that you still have to buy the ability?

I would like one of beta testers, who reached level 85, about ability Guardian of the Ancient Kings.
I noticed on MMO-Champion, description for it on http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/167 ... -Cataclysm .
This got me wondering, does ability activate upon using those written spells: Holy Shock, Avenger's Shield, Templar's Verdict?

No, that description looks like the severe artifacts of Bobo's datamining.

Requesting again a level 85 data set :

• any race
• untalented (0/0/0)
• naked
• no buffs

Report from the character panel :

• base stats (AGI/INT/STA/STR)
• (total) AP and SP
• (total) health pool and mana pool
• (total) physical crit chance and spell crit chance

Thanks.

That tooltip datamine for goak looks alot like an if/then, because it separates the spell based on the class defining talent when you pick holy/prot/ret, which is probably how it ended up being worded that way instead of says if holy its this if prot its that if ret its that.

It may sound stupid but,is there a way to tinker with the built-in Power Auras lookalike? I just never found time to look around in the options.

[KysenMurrin]

You can enable or disable it, and there's an alpha slider. That's all.

I don't even know where the option is to disable it =/

Question about the Al'Akir fight. Does he recognize people with a Thunderfury?

I always thought it was an awesome touch that Shade of Aran recognized people using Atiesh.

Ragnaros isn't in beta yet is he? If he is, does he recognize people with Sulfuras?

Interested in getting a data set matching this description from the latest beta build. Please note that the race must be Tauren and the level must be 85.

[Phez]

Here's a naked 85 Tauren Paladin:

* base stats (AGI: 93/INT: 102/STA: /STR: 169) SPI was 116
* (total) AP: 573 and SP: 92
* (total) health pool: 47387 and mana pool: 24672
* (total) physical crit chance: 1.11% and spell crit chance: 3.49%

Let us know what else we can help with.

I would like to know what the difficulty level is of heroics 5 mans and raids. I don't take Blizzards word to mean anything anymore because they seem to have a double speak problem. General forums from other sites seem to agree that the difficulty has gone back up but no details given in most cases, there is also the question of the quality of the players speaking.

Is it harder because classes are broken or everyone is in bad gear?
Is it similar to BC heroics pre or post nerf?
Does it appear that you wont be able to outgear instances to the point of ignoring fight mechanics, or at least not have that happen until much later in the expansion?

I will be building two new computers in the near future for my wife and I. She doesn't want to spend anymore than I have to get to get a basic system for her that will run the game better than her current computer (which isn't much). The issue is if endgame Cataclysm turns into endgame Wotlk I will need her to have a much more powerful system so we can find another game to play.

"nolife basement dwellers" find the new instances challenging at first and then rapidly becoming lolfaceroll.
"Bads" find the new instances impossible at first and then go to the beta forums to complain.

"Reality" is somewhere in between those two extremes.
