@Rowdy: while Blizz haven’t confirmed how they’re going to handle new races and class combinations in the expansion (as they haven’t entirely made up their minds yet), they’ve hinted pretty strongly that race and faction transfers will be restricted for a while after the expansion launches. They haven’t said anything about how long “a while” might be, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was on par with the character transfer lockouts for genuinely new realms (not that they’ve launched one of those in a long time, but my recollection from the last time they did it is that transfers are locked out for at least 3 months and possibly as many as 6 months after the realm is started).

BM was my favorite spec, but previous to patch 3 basically. After patch 3, I went survival, my pet however is still a major part of my build, even if it isn’t BM anymore. I went for the dual, and have BM as a side spec currently till they un-nerf my pet’s damage. I was running with a nasty T-Rex named Hashbrownz doing nearly 1200 dps all by himself, then after patch 3…he was 470ish DPS. Overall was near 2500 to 2800 as BM…now I push 3800 to 5K depending on how much i have to move in a boss fight as Survival spec. Hopefully the Cataclysm expansion will get BM some love, as BM got taken for a ride and left hangin.
A good hunter has many tools, and the pet is a big part…always.

…..

….

oh .. god.

Yes they can just, all go there. And just stay there. Away from us. /shudder

And a jerk let me have a booyah moment and relish being a hunter THE TANK LEFT OUR BREWFEST GROUP- didn’t ask if anyone had the quest left, just left. So I suggested letting my pet tank, as Aria, myself and our friend had almost three manned him. So switched to BM tank, equiped both my brewfest trinkets, popped on the pvp gear, summoned Ere to my side and booyah we did it.

Amazingly Ere only lost aggro at 20k left on the boss.

I guess being a hunter isn’t so bad if you are allowed moments to shine.

luff BM.

Nah Ryai, last I heard there was an actual Twilight MMO in the works. So while we may get a few drooling ‘Jacob’ fans, I don’t think it’ll be a bad as all that. Maybe.

When I was talking about the learning pets skills of old and achievements I was saying that imagine having to travel all over the maps training beasts for skills and how quickly some of those achievements would fill like exploring and many others

I wish my realm would get a make over.

O U CAN’T JOIN UNLESS YOU HAVE ACHIVEMENT. Fair enough if some want to be elitist. But it’s gotten so bad that THE DAY ONY WAS UPDATED people were pulling it! ‘oh lo people we want a group for ony ten, /w me whit achiev

That and wanting it for naxx 10. Or wanting 3k+ dps, for naxx 10.

It makes me question why am I leveling up my other hunters? Why am I still playing Ryai?

I face roll on Zeldei and dot everything to hell and have more fun.

Then I remember, oh yeah, pets and professions.

Anyways I’m not really interested in the faction changing service/race changing service, sure wouldn’t mind making Amarai an undead hunter, but then I remember oh yeah in the bit of role play I do she’s Zel’s sister. And Rosa? Nuh no way, Orc ftw. Orc iz epix.

And besides gonna be rolling a Worgen Mage or something else, give me a break from my hunter addiction. But leaning towards mage.

Werewolf shooting fireballs and ice beams and arcane lasers.

I just fear tho, there were all the legolas fans for nelf hunters, then belf hunters.

.-. I fear Twilight fans will invade wow next with worgens

ah, thanks Palla… that cleared that up. In any case, it’s still good news… and when they do free up the Worgen and Goblins for race change, then I know which of my toons will get a makeover.

Rowdy, what Nim was trying to say is that you won’t be able to race change to Worgen or goblins PERIOD for a period of time after the expansion is released. As for the class change during it, that was already confirmed. You won’t be able to be, say, a gnome paladin by race changing from a human, dwarf, or draeni paladin.

Nim… I think I lost you on that one… while I partly get what you’re trying to say…. my off topic topic was more about the currently “coming soon” in regards to race changes “in” your own faction. I understand that there would probably be some restrictions in regards to that, the racial changes are more or less cosmetic in regards to how your character looks (just like the character gender change thing). Mostly likely the race change restrictions will be depending on the race and class you want to change into… say you have a human paladin and you want to change that to a different race: you will only have the option to change between human, dwarf, and draenei in regards to that class. As far as lockouts go in terms of new realms, I don’t see that being a problem unless you’re actually going to change realms along with that change.
