So thinking of coming back.... Follow

Well there's your problem. Give leveling one to about the time you get instant Lava Bursts without any heirloom gear. Some areas are a royal pita.

Once my shaman hit that instant Lava Bursts things just melted in front of me, sans heirlooms.

Edit: Grammar is hurd.

Paladins are.......

Laughably easy. At least, Retadins are.

3 HoPo Word of Glory heals your entire HP bar until Level 80. Seriously.

In fact 3 HoPo is overkill until at least Level 50.

In the 20s-30s, I remember ONE Holy Power healing 50% of my health for quite awhile.

That's to not even say anything about Flash of Light being an instant full-heal until way later.

On Monks, I didn't really think it was that much trouble, Glyph of Afterlife as long as you can kill things fast (which you can, easily for quite awhile even without heirlooms) always drop a healing orb every time you get a killing blow.

Warriors, I didn't see any trouble when I did my Worgen Warrior. Out of Combat HP heals were easily enough to carry me 30-40 and Victory Rush did whatever the OoC Heals didn't, by a large margin. Oh, and things didn't live long enough to hurt me much. But then I was Arms, and not Fury. Fury might be different story. Arms has enough bursty damage that nothing lives long enough to hurt you.

EDIT: I will admit I HATED leveling my Goblin Mage, though. Mages seriously need better heals than Evocation (and later, Runic Circle) and Conjure Food.

Which is.......oddly what a Combat Rogue is at 90.

Well, ok... mark it for death, use SnD and spam SS.

*yawn*

Oh and revealing strike now and then.

Most mobs don't live long enough for the DoT finisher so that ends up being wasted, the AoE finisher is kinda meh because very few AoE mobs live long enough for the DoT to really be that effective anyways.. so for solo one-on-one, it is still "SS it to death". And Eviscerate... lol. Sometimes SS crits do more than Eviscerate does, so Evis is a kinda "I don't need SnD or Recup? Meh......why not...." kinda thing.

Oh, I dunno, Arms Warriors are still bursty. One of the reasons I love them in PvE combat; normal mobs don't live long enough for DoT classes to really be fun, so the Arms style of "rush in, smash it to death with 3 attacks, loot, repeat since CDs will be up by the next mob" of solo questing.

But then they fold like a paper cup whenever you start attacking one and they run out of stuns (they have 2 of them potentially) and heals (1 of 3 different talents) and if they can't charge/intervene away from you.

And then you have Ret Paladins. From what I've been told in a couple dungeons I've run, many people seem to think that a Paladin should not be taking the Divine Purpose talent because the other two "add up to more DPS".

Divine Purpose, though... can cause absolutely ridiculous burst that it can be comical. Normally you get 1 here and there to proc... but nothing is more awesome than pulling, say, a snake on the Timeless Isle and killing it in 10 seconds (even though it has 2.5 million health) because you got back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back Divine Purpose procs. I think my record is 8 in a row, not counting the 3 HoPo before and after (I had easily enough time to throw a couple Exorcisms in between the Templar's).

That's 10 TVs in a row with a couple Exorcisms thrown in there.

Enhancement Shaman.

"Got Maelstrom x5, do you? Use Unleash Elements and then Elemental Blast right afterward. Here, lemme give you a critical ontop of that, and an Echo of the Elements. Enjoy your 325k damage with crap gear! (seriously I was using 476 weapons at the time)"

Doesn't happen all that often, but often enough.

Oh.

Didn't catch that.

Depends on class really.

That, and he was replying to (I assume?) what we were talking about Monks and Rogues spamming 1 basic attack for a whole battle (which is not really "burst" damage).

Ah well.

12k gold on one char. No clue how much is on the rest, yet. How does that stack up against the modern economy?

Also, whatever happened to Thassarian? Last I new, he was kidnapped by Sylvanas for re-education.

Also, also, my God they added more FPs, didn't they?

lol, naturally. Why bother continuing an interesting plot point like DKs finding their place in a new world order.

[EDIT]

I'm guessing this massive stockpile of Frostweave Cloth is probably not going to help me.

So now I'm remembering something unfortunate.

Before I learned there was no mailbox on the Wandering Isle, I sent my Monk some heirloom gear.

That heirloom gear never appeared in the mailbox. But I can't delete the character either, because it THINKS it's in the mailbox. Not that it was returned to my original character.

So, naturally, I can't get this new customer support system to actually load a single window to submit a ticket...

It may not be an optimal answer, but you could just push on a few levels. The quests keep gearing you up to be increasingly effective and you're about to get some better abilities. Just for giggles, you can grab gathering for a bit of XP and gold. I suppose that the heirloom gear might be stuck in mailbox limbo and could get sorted out when the postal imps know to pass it on to Horde or Alliance.

Since this seems mildly related: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/8715482427

They're working on letting us mail some items cross-realm.

It seems to be rather late in the game for this feature, honestly. With the expansion, heirlooms are going into a new tab in the spellbook same as toys (account wide). So we get cross-server heirlooms for... what, six months or so?

I mean, cool and I'm glad they're doing it and all, but I'd argue it's a little late.

I can't wait for that heirloom tab. I'm so tired of logging in a billion alts trying to figure out who has what heirlooms. And it's nice and all that they came up with this thing where you can't delete a character who's wearing one, but I wish they thought of that before I deleted that cloth headpiece. It's like clam stacking, for serious. In MY day...
