  1. They never actually referred to him as Bush though, did they? The episode will hold up better in the future if they don't mention exactly which president they're referring to, and if the character is just a symbol. I'm positive they've broken this 'rule' in the past though.

    it was definatley Bush, especially with the Cheney hunting reference and Condi behind him.

  2. what are all of your thoughts on shadow mend as the priest 41 pnt talent? I have to admit, as a shadow priest, Im not too thrilled, as healing wasnt that big of an issue compared to a bettter escape option/raid friendly damage spell. im so used to dropping shadow form for a quick flash heal that shadow mend seems pretty pointless.

  3. DISCLAIMER: this is not mine, I stole it from somewhere on the WoW forums awile back.

    Anyone ever notice how the Night Elves, when faced with important, world-changing decisions, INEVITABLY make the wrong ones? If it weren't for Night Elves and their screwups, I'd be inclined to think Azeroth in general would be a much nicer place.

    Mistake 1: Destroying the Scepter of the Shifting Sands

    Bronze Dragonflight: "Now that we've finally sealed away the nemesis of all Azeroth, here's a scepter should you need to break the seal and fight them again."

    Fandral: "WAAAHH!"

    *breaks scepter*

    Bronze Dragonflight: "You dumb f*cker."

    Mistake 2: Destroying the Well of Eternity

    Queen Azshara: "Blahaharrrgh, I'm addicted to magic!"

    Night Elves: "Well I guess that's cool."

    Queen Azshara: "Blahahaharrrgh, I'm summoning demons!"

    Night Elves: "Ok, that's not so cool."

    *Bigass War!*

    Malfurion: "I've got an idea! Let's blow up the world!"

    Tyrande: "Come on, that's your solution to everything."

    Malfurion: "No it's not! By the way, hold this."

    Tyrande: "Hey, this looks like a-"

    KABLOOIE

    Tyrande: "...dammit, Malfurion."

    Mistake 3: Recreating the Well of Eternity, Then Leaving It There and Falling Asleep

    Illidan: "Hey guys, now that we just got done blowing THAT up, I just made a new one!"

    Night Elves: "You stupid f*cker."

    Malfurion: "Illidan, you're under arrest for playing the devil rock music."

    Illidan: "How wude!"

    *SLAMMER'D!*

    Malfurion: "Anyway, let's just plant a tree over top of this sucker and call it a day."

    Tyrande: "Uh, what do you want us women to do, Mal honey?"

    Malfurion: "You all stay awake and keep the stove warm in case we're hungry when we wake up. Oh, and don't go running off having fun with your friends or anything, I want you in the kitchen where you belong."

    Tyrande: "But-"

    Malfurion: "zzzzzzzzzzzz"

    Tyrande: "Dammit."

    Mistake 4: Staying Asleep

    Orcs: "FOR THE HORDE! And also the Burning Legion!"

    Night Elves: "zzzzzzzzz"

    Undead: "For the lich king! Also, again, the Burning Legion!"

    Night Elves: "zzzzzzSNRKzzzzz"

    Mistake 5: Picking a Fight with the Orcs

    Night Elves: "WTF?! Orcs cutting down our trees? Gettem!"

    Cenarius: "I'LL take the case!"

    *PWNT*

    Night Elves: "WTF!!"

    Grom Hellscream: [Orcish] kek

    Mistake 6: Releasing Illidan

    Tyrande: "We need help, gotta wake the druids up. Oh hey, Illidan! I'm sure 10,000 years of confinement has only rehabilitated him."

    Illidan: "GROWLowlorarrrr"

    Tyrande: "...although I could be wrong."

    Illidan: "OOGHRARGHghhh!" *runs off*

    Mistake 7: Blowing up the World, AGAIN

    Medivh: "Quit fighting you nubs! Archimonde is coming!"

    Night Elves: "Oh crap you're right. Too late now!"

    Archimonde: "Bwahahahaha!"

    Malfurion: "Hey, I've got an idea!"

    Everyone: *groans*

    KABLOOIE

    Mistake 8: Stopping Illidan from killing the Lich King

    Malfurion: "OMG! Illidan's doing something crazy to Northrend! Gotta stop him!"

    Maiev: "I'm kookoo for catching Illidan!" *trips Tyrande*

    Tyrande: "Aiiee!" *falls into river*

    Malfurion and Illidan: "I'LL take the case!"

    *rescue*

    Illidan: "So you see, I was trying to DESTROY THE MOST POWERFUL EVIL BEING IN AZEROTH."

    Malfurion: "Oh, uh..... my bad."

    Mistake 9: Building a new World Tree

    Fandral: "Man, I miss immortality. Let's make a new world tree!"

    Malfurion: "I don't think that's a good-"

    Fandral: "STFU nub."

    *WORLD TREE'D!*

    Fandral: "See? This place is great."

    Malfurion: "I dunno, it smells kinda bad... and I think I just stepped in some ooze."

    Fandral: "Yeah? Well if you don't like it, why don't you go get lost in the Emerald Dream for a few years?!"

    Malfurion: "You know what?! I think I will!" *gets lost in the Emerald Dream*

    Night Elves: *facepalm*

    Rest of Alliance: "Remind me why we put up with these guys?"

    Bronze Dragonflight: "Because you're all a bunch of dumb f*ckers."

    Mistake: Trusting Arthas

    Illidan: No one understands me. I'll show them I'm not addicted to magic. I can quit anytime I want. Just as soon as I get done crawling in my skin.

    Arthas: Hi, I'm evil.

    Illidan: Yar, we fight now!

    Arthas: Hey, you're pretty good at this. I'm totally not holding back and flattering you or anything.

    Illidan: You're right, I am pretty awesome.

    Arthas: You know what would make you even more awesome? Consuming the powers of that there demonic artifact.

    Illidan: Brilliant idea! I'm glad I thought of it.

    Arthas: Oh, and when you get done with that, kill that Dreadlord what's responsible for keeping my boss, the Lich King, from getting out from under Kil'Jaeden's thumb.

    Illidan: Sure thing buddy.

    *Illidan takes skull, and transforms into a big friggen demon*

    Illidan: Sweet!

    Tichondrius: WTF HAX?

    Illidan: Yar! I kill you!

    Tichondrius: Blarg! I are dead!

    Illidan: Yay! Now that I've turned myself into a big friggen demon, and killed this other big friggen demon, I've proved that I'm not demonic at all.

    Tyrande: You stupid !&$%er.

    Malfurion: GTFO!

    Illidan: No one understands me!

    Mistake: Trusting Kil'Jaeden

    Kil'Jaeden: I'm hella pissed that you screwed us over.

    Illidan: Oh noes!

    Kil'Jaeden: But if you destroy the Lich King, we're cool. I'll also give you your heart's desire.

    Illidan: Sweet! I'm just gonna assume that you mean magic, because Kil'Jaeden the deciever would never say anything that has a double meaning which will screw me over later.

    Mistake: Hiding from from Kil'Jaeden in Outland

    Illidan: Oh snap, I failed to kill the Lich King. If Kil'Jaeden finds me, I'm gonna get omgwtfpwned! I'd better hide. To do this, I shall flee from Azeroth, to which he has no access except by being summoned by absurdly powerful magics, the likes of which can only be cast by those who don't like him anyway, and instead going to Outland, which is basically his backyard.

    Blood Elves and Naga: You are so smart!

    Illidan: You understand me! Now lets beat up one of Kil'Jaeden's lieutenants and take over his fief. Kil'Jaeden will never be the wiser!

    Magtheridon: WTF? Ow.

    Illidan: Who da man? I da man!

    Kil'Jaeden: No, I da man!

    Illidan: Oh snap!

    Kil'Jaeden: You're an idiot. Now get back to work.

    Supplimentary Mistake: Leaving Illidan without adult supervision. Twice.

    what was that about horde being evil and wrong?

  4. shamans have their totems...and thats a LOT..imagine...nefa or rag fight with not only FR totem helping but also fire res aura...that would help a lot...shamans and pallys will make good combos, also this will only come up in the expansion ALONG with major class changes for ALL the classes...after this great series of change..i'm sure the results will please us all

    its not that I dont think that shaman and paldadin work together, but rather that they are competing for the same positions of buffer/healer, and the stronger one is going to get more spots. if they increased raid sizes (which would suck, the game already is obsessed with huge raids) there could be room, but shaman are going to get the boot because paladins do the same role, just better. now if these drastic changes to the class actually occur in BC, their role could change and they might be needed in a different way.

  5. name something unique that a shaman brings to the raid. name something that makes a shaman a better choice for a raid slot over a paladin. bliz has screwed shaman over 3 times in a row now, and show no intention of slowing down.

    Learn2readblueposts

    I can't emphasize a few key points enough. Lets not apply this change to current World of Warcraft. The day Horde has access to the Paladin and the Alliance has access to the Shaman, ten new levels of spells, abilities and talents will be available for all classes. The Shaman will have extremely unique and special abilities that they will bring to an encounter.

    oh yes, a quote from our patron saint, Eyonix. the fact is, blizzard has a long history of saying one thing and then doing another. Just in May, Jeff Kaplan assured us that shaman and paladins would remain faction specific, and two months later, they aren't. as for Eyonix himself, this is the same person that said a year ago that we would be getting bloodlust, he said that the 1.11 changes weren't final and that we would get more in 1.12, and that didn't happen either (unless if you count an attempted nerf to our raiding a change). Blizzard always says "wait and see, good things are coming" but they have NO credibility in backing up their promises. Myself and many others dont care about what blizzard vaguely says they might do, we want to see a clearly defined plan for the way that they are going to take the shaman and paladin classes with specific spells and abilities. "wait and see" doesn't mean shit when it comes out of blizzard's mouth.

    in other news, my priest hit 58, so now I can start running Strath 20 times to pick up lots of nice shadow gear :D

  6. Don't call ME out. I'm just repeating what Blizzard said.

    But frankly, I have faith in them. WoW is the most finely detailed and balanced MMO I have ever played.

    Im not trying to attack you, just those fools Tigole and Furor.

    but after patch 1.11, where Blizzard CMs (the European ones of course, Eyonix is a worthless piece of trash who took an insult from a single forum troll as an excuse to communicate with us even less) said that the developers never got our mountains of feedback and suggestions, and we recieved a buff to elemental, a nerf to enhancement, a small buff to resto, and zilch for our totems, while watching druids get their innervate made trainable while our inferior mana tide remained at 31 points got me pissed. then eyonix said that they weren't really done with us and that there would be more coming in 1.12. more meaning the nerf to WF totem because horde raiding and shaman PvE is so awesome and way too powerful. the only reason that this nerf didn't survive was the massive outcry from horde and alliance who saw the existing imbalance being made even worse. so after our review, shaman and horde issues were not addressed at all. so what does blizzard do? fix the raid imbalance by giving horde paladins, and completly screw over every raiding shaman in the process. the only thing we're good for is bringing 1 or maybe 2 along to soak up loot and drop WF totem for the melee groups. gg

    cmon...thats not true....i rolled a shaman as my first char and he was pretty decent..joined zircons guild and all and he raided without many problems

    i think having pallys alog with shammys will be a pretty good thing...not unbalanced...sure some spots will have to be givn to the newcomers..but hey i think it will be a new experience that will be quite enjoyable....blizz won't let us down...wow is the friken best MMO ever...stop dumping on blizz...sure they make mistakes and screw up sometimes...but they fix most of their mistakes relatively quickly...i'm sure they'll make it work

    name something unique that a shaman brings to the raid. name something that makes a shaman a better choice for a raid slot over a paladin. bliz has screwed shaman over 3 times in a row now, and show no intention of slowing down.

  7. I'm so happy I don't have to roll on another server now to play Alliance!

    I've been on the same server since last december (right about when Maraudon came out), and I've been in the same guild since last April.

    Kil'Jeaden FTW!

    And now, I can play the only class I haven't really gotten a chance to play, on my server, and on my prefered faction!

    if you want to raid at all, dont roll a shaman. unless you already have a main in an uber raiding guild or something and can bring him along as an alt, but otherwise you'll regret it.

  9. Bliz also said that they would be looking at Shamans in a new light with this new change in mind. In other words, they can be balanced differently. They no longer have to be thought of "the Horde counterpart of Paladins", but as its own class.

    as a 60 shaman im going to have to call you on that one.

    this game has been out for 2 years, and the faction raiding imbalances have been well known for over a year. we just had our review, and got jack squat. blizzard isnt going to change us in any meaningful way (like actually giving us bloodlust, which is a spell that is already IN THE GAME and was promised to us a year ago). they'll just sit back and watch as raids take at most 1 or 2 shaman. im disgusted with this spineless "fix" of an imbalance that never should have existed in the first place, not to mention the repeated rape of what was passing for the lore of the game. I'm quitting, and giving my money to a company that knows what the hell they're doing.

  10. Just wondering if anyone had good sheet music of BogusRed's songs. I used the MIDIs in a music notation, but as was to be expected, the rhythm was horrible, making it very difficult to play from. Im far too lazy to listen to the song 1,000,000 times and get the exact rhythm myself, so I was wondering if any of you had reliable sheet music

  11. I haven't heard about that. I do know that Paladins just received a bullshit talent that enhances their mounted AND running speed by I think 10-20% with no disadvantages.

    its 8% for 2 talent points. second tier I think. but it doesn't stack with the boot enchant, so its not too big of a deal.

    I found out about the AotC thing, it doesn't proc now on DOTs. my friend is such a moron.

  12. I have a (often exaggerating) friend who plays a hunter, and he told me today that Bliz is planning to remove the stun on hit side effect from Aspect of the Cheetah. I find this really hard to believe, as giving hunters a pretty much permanent 30% speed boost that's usable in combat with no ill effect seems absolutly overpowered. anyone else hear something about this, or is he full of crap?

  13. PW:S is next to useless. When mobs hit for thousands of damage at a time to heavily-armored tanks w/ shields, what is -960 damage gonna do? I'll take an instacast, large heal any day of the weak. I'll also take the ability to get extra mana regeneration through totems.

    I realize you've played a Shaman but are you Resto-spec with lots of gear like Cauterizing Band, Shard of the Scale, Aurastone Hammer + Zulian Defender, Tooth of Gnarr, etc? The shamans in my guild were extremely good at healing.

    first of all, I guess you're talking only about 40-man instances, where the case of shaman healing as well as priests becomes much stronger. this is because, as we already discussed, most classes end up becoming whitewashed down to one or two abilities over and over and over. this isn't so much of a shaman vs. priest thing as a thing over the way endgame instances are run. in 5 through 15 man instances, however, priests clearly top shaman.

    the shaman that I play is not soley resto specced, but im deep enough (21 points) to where I do get quite a bit of benefit. Im not decked out in the top healing gear, but when my guild does MC, I swap out my normal hp/mana and put in the (blue) +healing stuff that I have. and non-holy priests still outheal me. Im sure that some shaman who are 35 points into resto with incredible healing gear might come close to or even top some priests, but average shaman vs average priests isnt even a contest, even in 40man where the shaman have more of a chance to catch up.

    on another note, I have quite a few alts, all around lvl 20, but I want to focus on one and really start to level him up. Im trying to decide between my orc warrior and troll priest. the reason I narrowed it down to those two is that Im sick of having to beg to get into groups over the heads of millions of other shaman. so, out of those two, which would you guys pick?

  14. I suppose the main complaint that most Priests have is that for someone who is supposed to be the "master of healing", we really aren't. Thorough analyses have been done on our healing efficiency and power, as well as our ability to chain heal, and it has been proven that both Druids and Paladins properly specced can beat us in both those areas. Shamans can come close. Our primarily healing tree (Holy) has 4 offensive talents, a useless one (Holy Nova), 2 relating to Greater Heal (which is really not used often no matter what people want to tell you).. etc. It doesn't make any sense; other healing classes have more useful talents and get more "bang" per talent point.

    honestly, the arguement that other healing classes are as good as priests is BS, because with the exception of druids, they aren't. I know from my experiences with my shaman that I could never come close to healing like a priest.

    -mana pool. yes, I know that mana pool is based on gear, but where is all of the best casting gear? that's right, cloth. a shaman COULD roll on some good cloth gear, then enjoy never doing an instance again

    -healing spells. the biggest arguements that priests make is that their flash heal and our lesser healing wave are identical, which is true. however, to say that the classes are equal based on a comparison of two spells is rediculus. its like saying that since earth shock is better than fire blast, shaman are better nukers than mages. priests have far more healing options than shaman could dream of, including, heals over time, good AOE heals (yes, I'm counting prayer of blessing, which has saved parties many times), and better large heals

    -PW:F. this isnt an issue in raids, but in terms of 5 man groups, the extra HP that priests give upfront is crucial

    -Fade. once again, not as big of an issue in raids, but essential in 5 man groups. when a priest gets aggro, they have this great tool to save themselves. shaman get nothing besides mail armor and shields, which may sound nice, but dont keep you alive for very long against multiple lvl60+ elites

    -PW:S. another common complaint is shaman and druid's Nature's Swiftness giving them an instant heal every 3 minutes. PW:S is essentially the same thing, as preventing damage is the same thing as healing it then having it be attacked away. the difference? ours is on a 3 minute cooldown, whereas yours is on a 30(15 with talents) second cooldown PER PERSON. I know that PW:S ignores armor, but the fact still remains that you get a far better *oops* button than we do, and you dont need to spec into healing to get it.

    sry for the long-windedness, but priests that complain about other classes as well as they do (minus the druid, which is a better healer in some situations if specced right) is just silly.

  15. Wait a sec...

    Blizzard is actually responding to what your community says?

    NERF PRIESTS.

    Rogues believe that blue posts are a legend.

    If I could 2 shot casters I wouldn't expect to see many blue posts in my forum either :P

    Yeah... about that...

    We can 2 shot casters

    When they are drinking

    And have some cool downs

    And are not geared in epic

    And are stupid enough not to hit their "defense" button (Blink/Psychic Scream/Death Coil.)

    ...

    Other than that it's "ambush oh damn I'm fear/he blinked away/WTF IT CANT DO ANYTHING."

    Oh and most warlocks I know at level 60 have about 4000 life.

    I was kinda kidding about the 2 shot part' date=' but my point is that rogues aren't weak by any means. that's why they, mages, and shamans (my class) dont see a lot of blue, because we are in the least need of fixes. not that there aren't problems with the class, but other classes have it a lot worse.[/quote']

    Well, there are some serious problems with rogues in high end instances. Being a rogue should mean something more than just outputting damage. We don't have a good role, we're just doing some SS and some eviscerate. We do not have a real role other than being a high damage stat that does not depend on the skill of the player but simply on how well they press SS.

    imo, that's the price of owning face in PvP. in this regard, rogues and shaman are quite similar. both classes are extremley powerful in 1v1 PvP, and also quite good in group PvP. rogues are also excellent grinders, I've spent far less time taking my rogue alt to where she is than any of my other characters. however, neither are that important in endgame PvE, with rogues just doing damage, and shamans being healbots/wipe prevention. I wish I could do more in 40 man instances, but every time that I go to battlegrounds, Im thankful for the class that I picked.
