Sorry no ref links, I saw it on World of Raids and didn't get a chance to clean up my first post. But looks legit!

I am also happy to bring my Newbie Druid out of retirement and get him past 29!

I browsed the forums and they have a quote from Blizz about the Patch 2.3 being on Nov.13, and LIKELY the S3 will begin one week later. So patch date is set, Arena Season 3 is hopeful for the 20th.

That means more saving up arena points for some fun loot. Are there new BG rewards coming as well?

Here's a very detailed description (with screen shots) of what to expect. Lots of good stuff, and lots more time to waste acquiring said loot

That's alot cheaper then they originally had it. Does that mean we can start with 4 tabs?

Yeah except they take that delicious fruit, wave it above your head for several months while you salivate over it, before finally lowering the branch so more people can take a bite. Or make you shake the tree for 80 hours for the *chance* that it could drop!

Haha, I kid. Damn their shiny fruit.

Did you get Legacy and Wolf? I only saw Wolf drop once and I was tanking at the time I've yet to see Legacy drop still.

That's ok though, I'm rocking out on my welfare "Epic and looks like ass" crossbow from Ogri'La. Until I can purchase the S1 Crossbow of course

Thank god! That 1% crit is crap in comparison to 5 pts in Expertise (for the record, this means 1.25% decrease to enemy parry AND dodge on your attacks, so 2.5% hit versus 1% crit). For human pallies, this is wicked, since we also get 3% hit and another +5 expertise through talents.

Ergo, a mob that would have 5% dodge, 5% parry and your own 5% miss effectively being 15% you not hitting becomes 2.5% dodge, 2.5% parry and 2% miss or only 7% not hitting. This is just awesomeness deserving a hero cookie!

I feel sorry for you about the rifle not dropping...*hides armory profile*. 2.3 is just getting more and more awesome as time goes on. They just reduced Aimed Shot from 3.5 sec cast to 3 sec. cast, as well as leaving the Mortal Strike effect and also dropping the diminishing returns on silence effects. Which really mad me sad since I like using Silencing Shot.

It means I can become a 2-3 shot Caster killer again.

Good luck with that. Once 2.3 hits everyone that PvP's is going shopping with their 75,000 honor points. You won't be 2-3 shotting anyone because everyone will be wearing 5 pcs of Season 1 Gladiator gear and we'll all have 350 resilience

In the meantime, I'll continue to hunt the hunters

Sigh...how I miss the Mark spec'ed days with silencing shot and scatter.

BUT super yah to the new hunter improvements in 2.3

1. Aimed Shot (Marksmanship) now reduces healing done to that target by 50% for 10 seconds.
2. Arcane Shot (Ranks 6 and above) now dispel 1 Magic effect in addition to their normal damage.
3. increased damage on traps related to your attack power.

You're easy to find. Just like most hunters you'll be standing WAAAYY in the back behind the actual battle with your finger nervously poised on the FD button.

*pops Aspect of the Beast, then melds into the shadows with his finger on the Aimed Shot button hoping to get off a 4k crit.* Can you see me now. Before 1.8 patch I was able to cast Aimed Shot while Shadowmelded. That is the true nature of a Hunter striking the target from a distance before they even know he is there.

I always kill hunter pets, even if I don't have to. Bwahahahahahaha! The best is casting Unstable Affliction on a hunter's pet and having Improved Mend Pet, well, blow up the pet trying to dispel it

Perhaps a separate thread for a guild bank fund drive?
