Prepare to dump gems, glyphs, inks, and herbs in 4.0.1 - that's when stats and specs change (meaning a lot of regemming), and when the glyph system changes (so everyone has to buy all their glyphs...

Wait, does that mean that time of day matters in terms of when you get the achievement? Like if you get it before you hit the daily cap then you can't use it to exceed the cap, even if you continue...

Some things I imagine are obvious, but just want to toss out here anyhow:

1) Old World herbs/ore/skins will decrease in value now that we can fly in the Old World. While Worgen/Goblin profession...

Strictly speaking, you don't have to include your character name with your post in the new system, so you could actually avoid tying yourself to a specific WoW character. Of course, avoiding that...

What's the math on making sure we have a few WotLK mats on hand at Cataclysm launch time to get a bit of a leg up on skill-ups? Usually you can get 5-10 points off prior expansion mats and let you...

It would be really dumb though, if we beat Algalon to stop him from bringing about the world's end, and then he goes ahead and summons the Titans to screw with us anyhow.

I would argue that Shadowmourne is more accessible than Val'anyr for most raiders - there's no need to kill the Lich King to get Shadowmourne, whereas Val'anyr required not only Yogg-Saron, but YS+3....

There's no assurance we'll see Heroic ICC before March, and we'll have at least a few months of that before Cataclysm comes out. And that's assuming Cataclysm arrives on schedule. The only reason...

Looking at Wowhead's numbers and calculating total saronite mined (4690377) and crystallized earth mined (2023364), it looks to be about a 2.3 Saronite:Earth ratio. Obviously there are other sources...

I basically can't move infinite dust on my server now, and I suspect it's because there's less interest in buying the week before the patch drops. Really annoying, because now I have a huge backup...

To get to an attempt-based boss at all you have to kill 5-6 bosses first (6 for Putricide, 5 for Lana'thel and Sindragosa). Once ICC is fully unlocked, you'll be able to down 8 bosses before you run...

The plus side of this system is that you're back to the Ulduar way of having some choice in which heroic mode to attempt. In ToGC, you can't exactly do Normal Beasts and then Heroic Jarraxus like...

I think it's a sweet spot issue. You're right that on realms with enough runs regularly doing ToC25 without much issue, there's less of a market for GDKP because there are already loot...

But many GDKP items are substitutes for BoE craftables. If one can get Skyweaver Vestments for 3k, one won't spend 10k on Merlin's Robe. So the guy who picks up Skyweaver Vestments in GDKP cost the...

My mistake then. I was only going on knowing that people had previously (3.1 or 3.2) been discussing Libram swapping on Ret Paladins.

It probably depends on the advancement of the server. If most of the server's PUGs fail at ToC25, then a GDKP PUG is going to be adding a fair amount of earned loot (and therefore enchanting and...

We're better off than Boomkin at least, because while LvB and CL may be 1.5 seconds, at least LB isn't. As a result, the cap for haste probably won't be that hard, since it's still helping the spell...

To add one more, GDKP would have a deflationary effect on BoEs and raid-level craftables. BoE raid drops and craftables are attractive to people without regular (non-PUG) 25-mans because they're...

OK, so 219 haste, which takes 32 seconds to build up. In terms of pure haste-seconds, it sounds like the break-even point is 203.5 seconds. I'm assuming 100% uptime on ToEW and that it's up on...

Well, it was Frostmourne which originally corrupted Arthas. And the sword and armor were orginally forged by the Burning Legion, right? Maybe there's some angle there.

Yeah, but you're picking up more "autocrits". +20% crit on ~20 casts (30 seconds) vs. getting 33% (assuming 2 seconds on the 4P) more LvB crits. So it still seems like a gain. And with all these...
