It would have no impact on pve because it's a pure pvp stat, so you won't have classes saying "OMG YOU TOOK XX ABILITY AND NERFED IT!!! HOW WILL I BEAT RAID BOSS YY".

The developers actively dislike pvpers at this point. It's fucked, and there's far less hope than ever of shit getting fixed.

Are there any skinnable humanoids in Pandaria? I haven't been playing my skinner much, so I haven't been paying a lot of attention.

**Clemz** · 2012-10-22 17:32

Humanoids are almost exclusively not skinnable, there's been a handful of exceptions probably that I can't think of, and I'm almost positive that there aren't any in Pandaria.

**Clash Perez** · 2012-10-22 17:47

Wowhead's searchable database is a pretty awesome tool, when I remember it exists. The Kafa-crazed Yeti in Kun-Lai should work nicely.

Thanks.

I did get to use my Gin-Ji Knife Set on Gara'jal's corpse over the weekend, which was pretty hilarious (no meat).

If we cant down Elegon Normal 25 Man this week. I think Im making the jump back to 10 mans. Its not fair to me and the fairbit of other good DPS in the group to have to carry scrubs.

Can anyone speak to the state (PvE and PvP) of Hunters and Rogues since MoP release? I've been browsing through the official forums but the endless complaining and countering there leads to a lot of contradicting opinions. Just curious to see how each class is performing.

**BadKarma** · 2012-10-26 10:59

Every Rogue i know hates it. Hunters are OP as fuck

I can only speak for Huntards but it's really nice finally being one of the top PvP classes. The main PvP spec is BM now.

Being able to kite dumb melee in a circle with my frost trap, without getting hit and always being able to attack them. Having BeastWithin,Stampede,Lynx Rush makes for an almost '1shot' of people. 2 stuns help a lot too, for BM at least.

It's also amazing seeing all the QQ on the officialforums because of it.Their tears are delicious.

Now for PvE, I haven't done any real raiding, only RF, so I can't give the most thorough response but now SV/BM seem to be the more prefered raiding specs (I've always hated MM). Using SV for fights with adds/multiple targets and BM for more single target boss fights.

From an ex-rogue, you should fear the over powered qqing.

So what class and spec is creating a huge cawing cloud of crows on my target for the entire 10 minute fight, and how do I fucking stop that?

**Aksannyi** · 2012-10-26 12:57

I know that I have a glyph on SPriest that turns my shadow orbs into ravens, but I was pretty sure it's cosmetic. Not sure if that's it.

**solracht** · 2012-10-26 13:07

Hunter has murder of crows and warrior has glyph of crow feast for execute.

Could get pretty hilarious during execute %s. If it's really during the entire fight then I have no idea what's causing it.

**Korialstrasz** · 2012-10-26 13:28

I think the murder of crows animation is broken. I've had it used on me in pvp before, and even after the damage has stopped there's still a clusterfuck of crows flying around my face for a few minutes.

**Correction** · 2012-10-26 13:34

It's so distracting. Trying to listen for callouts during Will of the Emperor and all I hear is CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2012-10-26 23:35

You can ask your hunter to spec out of it. It's not that big of a dps boost over the other choices, especially if he's BM.

As far as PVE goes, hunter is pretty meh so far, middle to bottom on DPS charts. Because of the top DPS spec is BM, on fights where have to switch targets like emperor or SG, their DPS just plummet because of the travel time required for pet. This will probably change later on future tiers because hunter is really gear dependent right now.

Might be a stupid question but I dont know how WoW figures it out, when comparing top end dmg of a 2hander to 2 1handers, is it as simple as just adding together both 1hander top ends?

Ugh. It's complicated. Easier than explaining in-depth is just asking:

For what purpose? It's almost never a legitimately meaningful direct comparison. (which may answer your question on its own)

heroic ghostheart 2h vs Horseman's sinister saber/Siege captain scimitar heroic.

14,194 top end vs 8,792 MH/ 8,237 OH.

For monk. Gain of 240 agi, 398 crit, 570 haste loss of 553 hit and 274 expertise.
