Pally Epic Mount to be Trainable

http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/10/21/ptr-3-0-3-patch-notes/

Warlocks and Paladins will be able to train their class mounts at lvl 61.
While I can see this being helpful for more casual players, I still think it is kind of sad. Glad that both my lock and pally got theirs through the questline. However, I do realize that anyone who got either mount pre-BC still thinks I had it damn easy.

they should give a bonus to those of us who did it old way or those that choose to run the quest after the change



on another note, no lvl requirement on gathering = win

Yeah I didn't really get that level req for gathering. Maybe it's just one of those days but, meh, I don't understand.

It was probably necessary. Shame to lose the questline (unless it's still in for people to do as an option?) but making Paladins run Scholo and Strath for it was maybe a bit hard these days, when very few people will be willing to run you. (On the other hand, I actually liked the Warlock encounter. Though a DM-W full clear is meh, the finale was worth it.)


On other subjects, I'm liking the look of these patchnotes:
# The Avenger's Shield bounce distance has been reduced to 10 yards (from 15).
# Blessing of Might: Rank 8 points increased slightly to prevent from being overwritten by BattleShout 8 that has a shorter duration (also applies to Greater Blessing of Might 3.)
# Boots of the Protector have been brought in line with protection paladin itemization changes. (woohoo, it's about damn time)

And it looks like Ret Paladins have lost a lot of their bonus crit in favour of overall damage buffs, which seems like a good idea to me.

To bad the Alliance version of the quest is way harder then the blood elf version.

Shield pull on the middle 2 mobs in the room with the first boss, hit boss which in turn pulled the entire room and closed the door in front of us. Woops.

I think the lvl req on the gathering skills was from Bliz thinking I wouldn't be crazy enough to take my lvl 35 alt on a horse ride thru Hellfire
lets just say that she has more than the base 3? flight points for Outlands



i'm gonna miss taking 60ish pallys to Scholo, I must be one of the few people left who liked that place



the shield was fun in some instances, and a royal pain in others
Shatt Halls it was nice, others it has caused a death or 2

When I hit 60, I don't think the epic mount quest line even existed yet, so I paid the money for a ram. I never did the quest until I was at level 70 because pre TBC I did a lot of PVP, and knew I'd rarely use a mount that cost mana and was on the GCD.

For those of us behind work filters, can someone post the full paladin notes?

I wonder how hard ret's been hit by the nerfbat this go-round.

let them have 100% mount which looks like warhorse, and charger for those who do the questline, problem solved, epicness saved

The irony behind all of this sickens me. As soon as I was able to get my first Pally mount, the patch came and made it where lvl 30's can now get mounts. And now a few weeks after getting my epic Pally mount, this happens.....oh well lol.
