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.

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.Murrin wrote: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.
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.

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.

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

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

what's a Death Knight? 

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?
~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

a straight edge for legends at
the fold - searching for our
lost cities of gold. burnt tar,
gravel pits. sixteen gears switch.

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.

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

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.)
