Of particular interest is that druids can use polearms now! Major changes everyone (shamen need to redo their talent points too now).

Everyone read up and I'll see you online later tonight!

Oh? Tonight? Thanks for the warning. I"ll make sure I'm not around. =op (actually its warmachine night so I won't be around till later)

Hmm. Not a lot of Rogue stuff, we're definitely suffering from a lack of attention in WotLK.

Still no dual spec?

Cursory attempts at using the new Rogue Feint-and-resist-aoe-damage trick hasn't yielded any apparent success. Ingvar squashed me bigtime.

Wintergrasp has been borked by the lag monster! That might be Blizzard's first zone-wide failure. And there's supposed to be a misplaced decimal in a Shadow Priest tree somewhere that yields crazy results. Very not typical, Blizz, wassup?

I am sure most people know this, but in case you did not wowinsider.com is a pretty good resource for the WoW community. They put out an interesting article on rogues, thought you might like it Dem and other rogues..

Thanks Viral! I've been working with the same numbers in that article from Elitist Jerks theorycrafting threads. I've just picked up a few upgrades (epic Bonescythe, whee!) I need to gem up; it's tricky to do, because so many items lean to agi, stam, attack power, and crit. Messing up my numbers so I can get the set bonus ;) I need to push my Expertise back up and my Hit is a bit short of poison cap now, it's a balancing act!
