Dissapointed with Cataclysm

[Starbuck_Jones]

Ive been wanting the old world revamped for a long while. It feels very Final Fantasy like to me where they usually nuke the world half way through. The possible 'mentoring down' will be very nice. I am not a fan of the dumbing down of items/stats. Soon everything will just have a single number. "LOOK AT MY STAFF! ITS A 12 LOL!!!11!!!" Block/DEF/MP5 and Spell power were the stats my entire group revolved around. Now i'm just going to stack str/int and if the items don't have it, I can just tinker the stat on.

Path of the Titans looks to be the beginnings of alternate advancement, I think this is a good thing, im tired of just getting gold from quests once I hit 80. The icecrown 5man sounds very cool and I look forward to that.

Flying level 85's in noob zones though will prolly make me transfer off my pvp server. Its bad enough getting steamrolled by 80's farming mats.

Deathwing is going to be very cool, you can count on that it will have mounted combat. I would recommend you read the books if you haven't yet.

Look there will still be some very hard decisions. Do I reforge this item with X str and Y sta or maybe I should go with more str and less sta (x+z str and y-z sta). Trust me there will be min/maxing still, it will just be a little bit easier. I'm sure people will test setups and come out with a combination of stats that will increase your ability to win a certain encounter. Like Boss A needs less sta and more dps and Boss B needs more mitigation and health stats, etc.
