I'm really digging what Blizzard has built here.
Same feature as EQ2 but it's free!

You'd think with their subscription base and with the money they are pulling in they could have come up with something like this sooner.

But two and a half years is about the right speed for Blizzard, I guess.
Next expansion should be out around 4th quarter 2008. :lol:

My privacy is so violated!!!

Jk, all the wankers moaning about the armory amuse me. I think it's an amazing tool to screen applicants, especially the x-server apps.

If you look at the Armory profiles of the people whining, they almost invariably have the most asstastic spec/gear combos.

MS warriors with 2 fast daggers. Rogues that apparently picked their talents with a dartboard. Tri-spec hunters.

The crying alone of people complaining about the Armory is almost enough to justify a monthly subscription. Pure entertainment!

your spell damage is suprisingly low for a balance build! you need to hit some instances hardcore. dont be afraid to take cloth upgrades


my druid even has 530-580 for balance and most of his shit is greens :O


You'd do better in a 5v5 though with balance.. find 3 friends who dont suck!

Yeah I actually was resto up until recently so this is the junk I've been able to pick up out of desperation LoL. You can see the only boots I have are for healing still *blush*

My pally in my pvp group is a ret pally so I am stuck with CC, dps and healing LoL Needless to say I don't live long. We played over and over and I'm not sure I want to bother with it again, I was bad and it was horrible :(

Do you get points with that rating? I'm not trying to flame you, I really am curious. I pretty much just play 10-15 games a week to balance out the 3 of us on our 2v2 team and we stick around 1560-1660 area of rating meaning we basically have a split win/loss record.

Psyloche 80 Rogue - Hyjal

The arena is completely farmable. Just get 5 people, play 10 games a week (win or lose, doesn't matter) and you'll probably be able to net 500 points each week. If your rating gets too low you can even disband it and start the team fresh.

Considering how much people will drop on gear in the AH it's still a bargain. And reforming the team is completely optional depending on how much you want to milk the system.

I don't feel flamed :P The funny part about it is if someone tries to gank me, in world pvp I don't do too bad, but when it's organized like this I seem to never be able to suceed. Oh well.
