The first thing I'm going to do when MoP hits is...Follow

Adding Diablo 3 to my account and kissing my WoW gold & toons goodbye.

All the talents everyone took anyway are becoming baseline with your spec. The 6 or so free talents you had before will all be actual interesting choices. Also, getting access to what were previously spec-defining skills in other specs seems interesting (see the new Rogue talent tree for the most obvious examples).

I'll race change my main into a panda, then level him to 90, and start a monk.

I'll probably still be stuck here, staring at Aethien's new avatar.

Of course I'm aware that the internet has a small cache of **** hidden away some place or another. Garters are just one of my top fetishes...I have a not-so-soft place for them.

There's a donkey in there?

My eyesight must be worse than I thought

You can start drooling now.

So very much, this.

Did Ret Paladins really need two short-cooldown damage buffs that they have to juggle and keep track of? That's ontop of the "new" (with Cataclysm) Holy Power resource.

Ret Paladins went from 969 to "Watch your Holy Power! Oh, don't forget Inquisition! Oh, you need to use Zealotry too! And don't forget to pop Wings at the right moment!" and "OMG, I got Divine Purpose AND Art of War up!"

My mom plays Ret Paladins; she used to be able to do dungeons decently well... now... she does 7.5k-ish DPS (while wearing I-level 350-360 gear) because of how ridiculously over-complicated they made Ret Paladins. I'm not saying we should go back to a straight 969, but I think they went way too far in the wrong direction (like most of everything ELSE in Cataclysm).

Hopefully, MoP will balance it out, give us something between Wrath and Cataclysm.

This is somewhat a bad thing about WoW:

I don't do PvP much, but what you said is true for 99% of an expansion.

It is the most awesome thing since sliced bread, but yet, a few months later and it quickly becomes ho-hum.

When Cata was first released, I loved doing Vashj'ir, Hyjal, then Deepholm, even did Uldum and eventually Twilight Highlands.

Now, I got several characters in the 80s ranges and I can't really bring myself to do em without half falling asleep.

Now, the expansion is about ready to release its last major content patch, and I doubt I'll ever get a "main" geared enough to see the last boss of the expansion this time, Deathwing.

Still haven't killed the Lich King; couldn't find a guild competent enough to take him down.

Please don't tell me you're one of those "OMG, MoP = KUNG FU PANDA!!!oneoneone" people?

I wish they'd get it in their heads that the Pandaren existed in WoW-verse long before Kung Fu Panda was ever made.

Exactly how I feel. It's not the new race or the new class. It's just the road this game is going down. It's no longer scratching that itch. It's time to move on.

I haven't played Ret at 85, in fact I've hardly touched my paladin since it hit 85. I have played Feral since BC, all the way through John-$&^%ing-Madden. 12 sec Mangle debuff, 15-sec Rake, max 30ish second Savage Roar (and it had to be up first to affect bleeds), 22ish second Rip, Tiger's Fury on a 30 second CD, Berserk on 3 min CD and stacking with Hysteria, so trying to get the Blood DK to give it to you at the right time, Shred being positional and substantially better than Mangle, and weaving in Ferocious Bite when you had extra CP... also DoTs being clipped if you didn't let them get the last tick in...

Point being, I enjoyed Feral when it had a crazy priority list. I also acknowledge it's not for everyone. Off the top of my head, three glyphs to simplify Feral DPS for people that didn't like the complexity (based on WotLK-era Feral)...

Shred - Shed damage reduced by 10%, and now has no positional requirement.
Mangle - Mangle debuff now lasts 60 seconds, but unly increases bleed damage and Shred damage by 25% (down from 30%).
Savage Roar - Savage Roar now lasts 60 seconds and is refreshed by Ferocious Bite, but only increases Physical damage by 25% (down from 30%).

For me, that would be infinitely preferable to the nerf-train that's hit Feral DPS.
