I like this robe I picked up while with Sorus and Luci, yesterday:

Heh, snazzy. Doesn't match your shoulders or tabard, though.

Edit: Deva, here's one for you:
Shadowform (Shadow): Now has an innate 30% threat reduction. Now has a shapeshift UI.

Way cool! I think I will keep my shadow spec!! The world's only "cloth TANK"

Erm, has noone told you about mage tanking yet?

Ran Heroic Underbog once with a mage who chain-crit 3K fireballs the whole trip.

We had to scrape him off the floor after each fight.

Then we decided to edge around one nasty group, and backed into the water, which is a safe thing to do in normal Underbog. In heroic it's full of elite piranha.

I hit exalted with Aldor last night. Combination farming/AH trip to clear up the required 6K of rep. Hope the effect of the Shattered Sun pendant is worth it, because they really don't have anything to offer hunters or engineers. I will need to go back and take another look at the one epic sword that's available, but I think my blue polearm from Shadow Labs is still better.

The tanking pendant proc is good (+dodge), but wearing the thing would be too big a hit to my def stats at this gear level, heh. Don't know the procs on the other SSO necklaces.

Also: Ouch. I feel sorry for whoever was tanking that run.

Hmm... think that's the pendant I have - the +48 stam. I started with the stam/agility, which procs attack power, but that would just help my pets lose aggro.

Actually had a very good tank on that run, the mage just kept hopping on the secondary target with the thought that he could take it out before it squashed him. The healer was the one who was getting annoyed about having to rezz him every five minutes, but we didn't yell at him because he was only getting himself killed. He had to go for repairs before we reached the first boss, and controlled himself a bit better when he returned.

The pendant I have is "of Resolve", and yeah, it's high Stam.

In current news: I'm on a roll. Two for two Supplies/Badges of Justice...

They love ya.

Me, not so much.

Okay, that's it, I'm going Engineering. This is just one thing too many for me to keep resisting the temptation.

Edit: Oh, and there's now an official Blizzard page for the talent trees, which should clear up any errors on the other sites.

What's the sidecar for? Am picturing my cat riding in it.

That is so, so awesome.

A shiny WGD to whomever can guess which tree I'm using for my Death Knight.

heh...

I think even I can guess this one.

what's a Death Knight?

Post by **I'm Murrin** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 6:48 am

Death Knights are the new class they're introducing in the expansion, Luci. You have to have a character over level 55 to start one, and they all start at that level, in the Eastern Plaguelands. They can be any race, too (which is stupid, lorewise, but there you go....)

Sorus--It's one of the new passenger-carrying mounts. Though someone pointed out where I found the pic that it's not necessarily engineering (could be card game reward), so guess we need to wait for more info.

Oh, gods... Gnome Death Knights.

Night Elves, Draenai, and Taurens don't really work lorewise, but the image of the Gnomes...

I have an image of a pink haired gnome death knight!

Post by **I'm Murrin** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 4:56 pm

Yep, that image seems to come up fairly quickly whenever people mention the "any race" thing.

And yeah, I think it would be far better if Blizzard at the very least least omitted Tauren and Draenei from being Death Knights.

I haven't given the Death Knight a lot of thought yet. I'll start a character to test it out, I guess.

However, I'm getting ahead of myself. Before anything, I have to get a computer. I'm pushing up to the edge of useable space on my laptop right now. No way I could download Wrath of the Lich King on it.

Honestly I have no idea which tree you'd use for your DK Syl, but I'm beginning to get tempted to give DK tanking a go myself at some point, and this looks like a pretty nice build. (Then again, Rune Tap is pretty good, and the problem of not having Blood Runes to use for it is solved by that talent that gives you Death Runes.... Hmmm.)
