Boss Models
One more boss model in this build.

Mount Models
We can assume that they are the models of the mounts introduced with this build ...

• Invincible - Summons and dismisses the flying undead horse Invincible. This mount changes depending on your Riding skill and location.
• Big Love Rocket - Summons and dismisses a rideable Big Love Rocket. This mount changes depending on your Riding skill and location.

Invincible got a whole lot cooler since the last build. Me wants. but i know i'll never ever see it.

And a big pink love rocket? Oh man, the sexual jokes. Hey baby, wanna ride my pink rocket of love? It's even got zebra patterned seat cushions rofl.

[Rokku]

* Army of the Dead: The cooldown on this ability has been reduced from 20 minutes to 10 minutes. Army Ghoul damage dropped by 50%. Cannot be used in Arenas.

lol ouch

Professor Putricide is the greatest boss in the history of ever.

I don't see why they have to change LoH like that. It's a lot more simple than that: Revert it to BC. Restores full health, drains full mana, voila. Hell if you don't want prot paladins to be using it make Divine Plea effect it's heal as well. Then all it is is a final "oshit" button that won't be used in normal circumstances.

[Correction]

The balance problem is entirely about the selfcast 100% health refill, not that it also refills mana. No other tank can do that to themselves seems the stated concern. Maybe they can retool it so it's more like a Last Stand kind of ability if self-cast, and move the LoH cooldown talent points deeper into Holy and have it increase the healing done when cast on someone else.

Yeah, but if LoH drains all of the paladins mana, it then makes them useless or at least MUCH weaker and easier to take down since rets get mana back from using judgement (and would have to wait a few ticks to even be able to do that) and prots from divine plea (of which one tick = one ability so one ability every 3s after LoH, oh so dangerous). If LoH drained all the mana then a pally would use it and then stand there as people laughed and killed him, I don't think that's a big deal.

Though I haven't even heard that the issue is because of tanking, I thought the issue was because of BG's and such where a pally has "3 lives" with bubble + heal -> LoH.

Fucking lol. I really thought he was going to say "MMMM Tastes like Chicken!!" but fucking cherry.

[Correction]

Ret and Prot pallies have what, 5.5k mana at most? LoH -> Mana Pot and you haven't fixed much of anything. The mana drain is so not the way to balance this ability, considering the resources spent to get said Pally low enough to LoH in the first place.

This fix is motivated by how well it scales as both a PvP and PvE cooldown, the better your gear gets, the more invincible a self-cast LoH makes you, and a nerf was inevitable. As much is evident in the QQ thread Ghostcrawler is responding to.

[Plow]

just fucking remove it from bg's, so retarded

I case people hadn't seen this:

Yeah how will raid ID's work? If I'm in a raid with people from 9 other servers and we don't finish, can someone from those other servers use that ID later and finish it without me?

I have no intention of pugging a raid any time soon, but it'd be nice to know how that works.

You cannot join a raid with players on other servers, largely for this reason. It may be something we do in the future. Or not.

[Guitarman]

which stinks for people on a backwater server like i am. cross-server raids are the only chance i have atm to see toc25/uld25 etc etc. stuff like that just isnt puggable on my server.

[Plow]

Yeah I was considering leveling my rogue to 80 just to do cross server naxx and os and shit and have him in some epics if I decide to level him to 85.


But it's on Zuluhed, which has like 8 people total on both sides.


I have to admit the idea of constant FL only pugs with no lockouts is hilarious though.

Cant you get into a guild that does them?

no im in a guild that's strictly 10 man. we do alot, weve cleared toc10 and gotten to yogg, but that's as far as we've gotten. it's a hard thing, because i stay only because a few are very good friends, so my only choice for the bigger stuff is to pug it out. i could be a huge jackass and leave my friends for gear, but that's just not me.
