Please, lord, let that be true.

Blizz said that the unveiling of the new LFG system would take place in some sort of front page update. Hopefully that means that it will be snazzy and serious, rather then some sort of new panel with an LFG flag.

On the other hand, any continued use of meeting stones is frightening.

I hope it's not too obvious I'm just posting to see what what Mortal Combat character I've gotten.

EDIT: Shadow Kick!

Looks sweet and sure beats the current system. Having a LFG drowned in a pool of ASCII, spam, name-calling, blacklisting and what-not isn't very convenient. At any rate, we'll see if it's real or fake soon enough.

For those that were asking, unless the new rank has a diffrent proc rate JoW has a 50% chance to proc.

All arcane damage has what 5% crit and do 50% more crit damage with the ZG Mage trinket...

And, well, to be honest, since Arcane has pretty much not been that great a tree, I don't know many mages who've made the effort to get this trinket over, say, rogues or hunters who seem more interested in it. But, perhaps, my guild and the few other mages I regularly talked to are unusual?

True. But still, that trinket has to be the best way to increase your AoE damage out of any trinket available, that alone should have some merit.

But I was thinking, with arcane power and the ZG trinket, at the sacrifice of DPM, could not arcane mages have the highest burst DPS?

Also, might be note worthy to mention with the 30% crit chance while in clear casting, seems like a nice time to pop the ZG trinket. I mean, just imagine the kind of damage Empowered Arcane Missile would be doing with at least 40% crit chance. (5% base, 30% from clear casting talent, 5% from ZG trinket). Follow that up with using your Arcane Power and then maybe a Presence of Mind Pyroblast... I am thinking arcane/fire mages could do some heavy damage for 40ish seconds? every 3 minutes?

Might be something useful for another Huhuran type fight.

This sounds like a very good change. Let's just hope that scorpid sting becomes castable on raid mobs.

So I'm wondering, what is the height ceiling going to be like on aggro? Getting shot out of the sky, could add an interesting dynamic to travel.

Also, it would be absolutely hilarious if druid flight form was like stealth and broke on damage... d'oh!

Rupture would be sweet revenge for all those Faerie Fires.
