This will definitely change wsg 30-39. Druids will still be decent flag runners in this bracket, but no where near as good as they are now. I just recently parked a well -geared (but not twinked) druid at 39 for some fc fun. Not sure if it will be worth keeping him there after the patch.

It makes me a very VERY sad panda that I am being forced to buy the bear mount with real money. Here I was hoping that mount would be Wrath’s version of the Netherdrake.

I guess I can still hold onto the hope that there will be a panserbjorne mount (armored polar bear).

I saw these at WoWWiki, and it kinda sparked a huge-ish post regarding newer players... but I completely missed the altaholic point of view. Good thoughts.

Mounts at 30 would be nice for some classes, but other than Alts who is going to have the money at 30? I was very, very fugal and had skinning and mining and barely had the gold at lvl 40.

That said, I wouldn’t have cared too much since I leveled a Hunter (Aspect of the Cheetah at lvl 20) and Druid (Cat form talent at 21 and travel form at 30). I still remember the day I got my lvl 40 mount on my hunter. “I thought this was suppose to be faster?!?!”

The SSO pendant for Scryer Shadow Priests is terrible. The Aldor version procs +spell damage and the Scryer version procs damn arcane bolts.

I got exalted with the SSO and had nothing to buy…perhaps it’s better than the Kara trash neck now, I don’t know. I’ll have to wait for the testing, or just buy the neck myself and try it out on Dr. Boom myself.

I’ll probably just wait for someone else to do the math…I hate mods.

Only if you hold the opinion that a flying mount makes flight form obsolete…

Forms are instant cast and Travel Form can be cast whilst in Combat – Travel Form only costs 54s – you can Herb, Mine or Skin in Travel Form…

It would be nice if Blizz would keep some additional benefit to Travel Form by allowing Feline Grace to affect it, though…. After all Cheetahs are Feline…

Mounts at 30? Hmm..doesn’t that make Druid Travel form basically obsolete?

Definitely thar be a swag of goodies in the incoming patch. I’m looking forward to the curse of shadow / curse of elements change.

It looks like cheat death will now officially have the longest tooltip.

This is great news, now I just might be able to talk myself into getting those last couple of levels to 30 for my Warlock – walking is such a pain!

I found the change to Cheat Death to be pretty interesting. I’m actually happy to see it take resil into account now, it always seemed pretty unbalanced for a nub rogue to be able to survive, even when vastly outgeared.

More pets to collect? Win.
