---------------

Prot warrior t8 bonus won't live to see the live release. The actual t8 stats are also lackluster, warriors would gain much more stats from using the off-set drops in Ulduar than using any of their t8. Good news for me because ITS UGLY.

I dont macro a lot for Frenzie, but it seems to be time to /macro in all the death coils.. sighz, im feeling dumb again all of a sudden.

Don't you mean Rune Strike, zie?

Actually, I dont use it. haha.. tried it whilst tanking, seems to not proc when i wanted it.

Only macro i use now is the Ghoul Explode, which I find the most useful, and since it doesnt screw up rotations.

wah.. nice mount....



looks like for pvp only though...

should have one that is for PVE only that its at 280% speed

yeh.. they should give PvE a chance on that mount.. so kewl... *_ *

The Hard Mode Ulduar (10 & 25) offer unique proto-drake skins that PVP'ers can't access... I mean I'd prefer a frost wyrm but they look pretty good.




As well as the mount off of Mimiron (http://ptr.wowhead.com/?spell=63796) which looks damn awesome.

the proto drakes looks like Bird of Prey from Star Trek but i still prefer the frostwyrm anytime
