DGing a caster mob that tank did not pick up is godsend to any tank.

does anybody actually use this macro or something similar. It helps alot.

/assist [target=focus]

focus on tank.

DG mob and press this macro and you'll be hitting whatever ur tank is hitting no threat on DG'ed mob.

And if you are the only DK in the group? Strangulate helps tanks also.

A DK plus a Rogue in a group helps tanks in new ICC ALOT. Stragulation, DG and Tricks of the Trade + FoK. Wow and if they hadnt taken away Fok Spell interupt from Throwing specialization, geez, this will be EZ mod.

You still make more gold completing the usual dailies in icecrown. Basically, you can complete all the argent tournament dailies in less than 15 minutes (not including Kiss the Frog, or get the emberstone from fire dude). And, you can complete all the Ebon Blade dailies in 10 min or less. And that King of the Mountain quest takes what? 2 minutes to complete? Oh and those Sons of Hodir quests? yeah you are gonna need those for your shoulder enchants. Or wait. How about a better idea. Do your dailies while waiting for queue?

Maximize your speed? Pftt...Man how much I hate it when people are such in a rush to complete the instance. Don't wait for buffs, dont wait for healer, resulting in wipe. Too often I hear people say "Let's hurry" or "just get it done and over with." Especially in OK, when people want to skip 2 other bosses, hey I still want my emblems. Please let's not make this a "farming" system for gold, because, IT IS NOT. It's a farming system for emblem of triumph.

And seriously, if you do not know of any way to acquire gold in this game, wtf are you doing?
Epic fail. Gold comes so easy now. You can make 100g in less than 10 mins if you are a JC or Enchanter just based on tips waitin for queue. I understand you have to lvl your profession skill up, but seriously, you make enough gold while leveling up through quest rewards to level your profession up. Which is why, you dont level up through BGs!

You should be happy you didnt get ICC 5 mans. Some folks come there terribly undergeared. I thought the system was only gonna pair you up with "similar" gear level players? We went into FoS with a tank sitting at 25k unbuffed, a DK DPS with full PVP set and Edge doing 1K dps. How is it even possible to get defensive capped without breaking the 28k HP? We didn't even get to the first boss.

Another time we had a tank who started off with sword level at 1/400 and loss aggro everytime.

I think anybody who has just dinged 80 should at least be doing 1.5k dps if they got any brains about with they are doing and their class. Most of the time the folks who are doing really bad dps have no clue playin their class/spec. I saw a Destro Lock using Void Walker and using corruption, soul fire, and shadow bolt, WTF? Likewise I saw an affliction lock using soulfire and immolate?

OK, HOS and UP seem to come up more often than not. Im fine with it. Any instance is fun and fast if everybody play their role. Only HoF hasn't come up yet. To be honest, I think anybody who hasn't completed heroic FoS should not be eligible to be entered for the next two ICC 5 mans.

LOL. It's unbelievable that the variety of skills and gear of player after doing random dungeons with random players from random server in the battle group. Sometimes I get a very very good group. Most of the time I get noobish or unskilled players. Hell some DK I ran with had Edge of Ruin they had no Runeforging of any kind their weapon WTF? It's free and it's easy! If you had done your duty and lvl to 80 I'm sure you have some CLUES that forging your weapon should be the 1st thing you do when you get your weapon. And then there's warlocks who shoots shadowbolts and soulfires in Destro spec and end up with DPS that is under 1k! Hell they even claim their VoidWalker is their best DPS pet. Another time we got a tank who loot everytime he kills the first mob and the remaining mobs run around killing everyone else.

Occulus is ok. So far UP is the instance that I end up with. One of the worst experience I had was when we did VH, tank disconnected, and mobs just keep running out of portal w/o stopping while LFG was lookin for another tank. Good thing is that our group had some very good dps and we can burn it down.

But But, with EQUIVALENT gears, the pure dps class with the SKILL does outdps the "hybrid" classes. This is SOOOOOO dumb and pathetic. Why don't Blizz just pigeonhole every class to a specific role then geezes. If you want to play a warrior, tough luck, you HAVE to tank. If you want to play Pally, you HAVE to role healing or tank. If you want to role priest, no shadow form. Ick. Maybe I should start exploring AION and Warhammer and drop this craptastic World of RECOUNT.

Why do you want to TS when sapped? Yeah he cant attack you. That's point.

Sapped. Bamm TS. Rogue flies off and unstealth, Flame Shock his ass, start casting lava burst, elemental mastery+lightning bolt, chain lightning. Rogue sprint back or vanish away....All this and no to minimal dmg to you yet.

Cleansing totem changes? Ick.
I guess the only positive thing PVPwise is grounding totem. But that's for ONE class.

Guess Blizz really don't want shamans to PVP - and instead nerfed them down to only be viable PVE.

Well the good thing is, that there is no DRUMS or SCROLLS that can replace Bloodlust YET.

I do love the PVE Elemental Changes.

So what? If you cant afford a filet mignon, do you go out and steal it from the store? The right thing to do is settle for a top sirloin instead. SETTLE for Guild Wars or something if you can't afford WOW.

I think Blizz would be more adamant about private servers if they didnt have 11+ million paying subscribers.

Kind of silly. Some folks pay just as much per month just to be able to text message and send photos from their iPhone.

I bet we'll see a bunch of shamans if multiboxing is allowed. Why do you say Holy Paladin but not name the spec of other classes LOL?

Pretty much this says that DKs and Pallies are OP.

I hope they don't take out Bloodlust. It's one of the few reasons why my shaman still rocks, now that DKs can replace my Str of Earth, Pally can replace mana spring with BoWisdom. Bloodlust, Poison cleansing and windfury totems are the only three that my guild likes from me (being the only shaman).

Ghost wolf and travel from in fast mode? That'll rock, but be unfair. Shadowmeld already is an annoying racial talent that can take the druid out of combat and fly off with instant flight form cast.

If that's the case, travel forms should be set to 1.5 sec cast.

Druids just need more unique forms for their shapeshifted form like drops that can change the animal or appearance of your forms.

Started playing WC2 since the Kali95 days, pre-battlenet. People, these are the days when 14.4k baud modem was the norm and 56k modems costed more than $150 (Kids these days have it so easy). God I feel like I'm too old to keep playing WOW.

If you havent had a chance to play WC3, you're missing out.
