Post Re: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
Pretty much the whole Cataclysm alpha just got leaked, there really is too much for me to list here so here's a link:
http://www.mmo-champion.com/

I'd look at it fast because Blizzard is locking down all mention of anything on all of their official sites and it's probably only a matter of time before they get around to MMO champion.

Post Re: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
Just started WoW last weekend, and MAN do the quests suck. Everything else is fine, and even fun with other people, but when the first thing the game tells you to do (amongst the forty or so people Cybering...) is to kill 8 rats, I almost quit right then and there. I made the mistake of playing a night elf, something I'll never do again. Night elves have racial ability=Cybering, so that's not gonna happen again. Got a Human Pally goin, but once I get the hand of it i'm switching to a druid. Anyone wanna play? Tell me your server, and I'll start from scratch there.

The quests really are quite bad until you hit Outland, that's why they're redoing the whole 1-60 experience in Cataclysm.

I thought the quests were lame until either the DK start zone or Northrend.

Northrend is again better than Outland, but compared to Pre-Outland questing, Outland is definitely good.

Switched to a Tauren Shaman, Making a "totem tank" on silvermoon if anybody has a character there and wants to play. Name's "alphagamer"

You'll have a few problems tanking as a shaman, as they're not really designed for it, maily because:

A) Unlike most of the real tanking classes you never get plate armour, meaning less health, and you have far less health than the only non-plate tank, the druid, because his bear form gives him the equivalent defence of plate armour and boosted HP. On top of this plate armour has far more Stamina (health) than the other armour classes
B) You get no taunts
C) You don't cause that much threat compared to real tanks
D) Equipping a shield will lower your DPS and reduce your threat even more
E) Not equipping a shield will make you even more likely to die and you still probably won't get threat
F) You don't have very good mana endurance
G) You have very very few options for attacking more than one target

I mean you can try if you want but it'll be tough :P
Never heard the phrase "totem tank" before.

Good, I thought maybe a totem tank was some new thing. Protip: Shamans have the lowest health of any class, and can't tank at all.

I was realising this after I saw that they don't get plate. Hmmm... Perhaps a DPS/Buff class? can't think of a good name though
