The Brood Mother Returns
After years of lurking in her lair battling the many brave adventurers who travelled from afar to challenge her, Onyxia returns stronger than before to commemorate World of Warcraft’s five-year anniversary.

Onyxia has been scaled to offer new challenges to level 80 players and is now available for testing in 10- and 25-player modes.
Adjusted for modern raiding, but with the fundamental experience of fighting the Brood Mother still in effect, including the horrors of her Deep Breaths!
Onyxia will now drop level 80 item versions of some classic loot items from the level 60 encounter.
Brood of Onyxia, a very rare 310%-speed mount modeled after Onyxia herself will be available for the luckiest of challengers.

Druid
Balance of Power: Misleading tooltip reworded. The tooltip previously reported an incorrect value for the increased chance to hit with spells. The actual benefit of the talent is unchanged.

Brewfest (Биерфест или Искам каса със бира и кюфте за мезе...)

Кога: 20 септември - 3 октомври
Къде: край Айрънфордж
Защо: е, хайде сега

Куести:
- единични:
Не са сложни, ще ги прескоча

- Дейли:
* "Помогни ми с таз бира" - това е основния приход за токени. Не се вижда синя удивителна, куеста се дава от едно джудже до козлите в края на шатрите. В общи линии иска да му донесеш три бъчви бира от Каранос. За всяка бъчва дава по 2 токена. Важно: в рамките на 4 минути можеш да донесеш колкото бъчви можеш и за всяка получаваш по 2 токена, аз лично правя между 12 и 14 курса, има шампиони с 20-24 курса. Куеста се дава на всеки 12 часа уж, но май според слухове се резетва на 18 часа, така че в общи линии веднъж дневно. Тактика: пришпорваш козела до червено и минаваш покрай бъчонките с ябълки, това резетва дебъфа на козела. Бъчонките са две по пътя и по една до даващия/приемащия бирата, добре е първо да минеш с нормален маунт за да се ориентираш за маршрута.

* "Да защитим панаира" - на всеки половин час се появят джуджета изпод земята и се опитват да счупят всички бъчви с бира. Атаката трае няколко минути, при успешна защита на земята остава един чарколяк от който се взима дейли куеста. Тактика: заставаш до някое бъчва с бира и пиеш халбите, които ги подхвърля близкото НПЦ. За съжаление повечето алианс търчи безмозъчно наоколо (все едно е в бетълграунд), така че този куест се прави трудно. 10 токена

* "Реклама на бира" - яхаш един козел и за 4 минути трябва да обиколиш Айрънфордж (банката, военните, учените и телепорта). Най-добре е козела да се държи на "жълто", достатъчно бързо се движи. 15 токена


Ачийвмънти:
- Kill Coren Direbrew - ясно, отива се в БРД и се убива Корен. Още не е доказано соло-кил (въпреки че продължавам да опитвам )
- Have Keg, Will Travel - не е нужно да дропне кодо-маунт от Корен, за два токена се купува билка, която превръща всеки маунт в кодо. Истинско кодо дава все пак "Feast of strength" ачийвмънт
- Strange Brew - купуват се видове бира от вендорите на феста и ти става екрана крив
- The Brewfest Diet - купува се ядене от вендорите на феста
- Down With The Dark Iron - трябва поне веднъж да успееш да направиш дейлито "Да защитим панаира"
- Does Your Wolpertinger Linger? - рогатия заек се купува от вендор на феста за 40с
- Drunken Stupor - напиваш се и се мяташ от 65 ярда, най-добре е терасата в Шатра
- Disturbing the Peace - купуваш си комплект дрешки, напиваш се и /dance в Даларан. Дрешките се купуват за 350 токена общо, но се връщат на вендор. Затова този ачийвмънт се прави преди следващия
- Brew of the Month - за 200 токена се купува една грамота от вендор и ставаш член на клуба. След това всеки месец ще получаваш екстра бира

С токени се купува също и нон-комбат пет, а и бъчонка с бира

[Lannis]

А няма ли вече виолетов дракон за теб? Това май беше последният achievement event от поредицата. Онзи ден видях един такъв дрейк на Даларанското летище:)

[Svetlio]

Ами няма Ачийвмънт-манията ме хвана в по-късни времена и вече бях изтървал Хелоуина... Ще е малко по-късно Виолетко

[Elayne]

И аз снощи чух, че токените за ачийвмънта в Даларан можеш да си ги върнеш със се дрешките. Та сега събирам тоукънчета, щото си купих розов слон .

3.2.2 Arcane Stuff

Buffed fairly high, mana issues arent as bad as before.
Good dps, better mana management, Focus Magic buffer, short cooldowns (great for icehowl stuns).
But: Raid needs 5% scorch/shadowbolt from somewhere, which arcane can't provide.

Talent: 57/3/11
Note the 2/3 in Incanter's Absorption (Line 7, Arcane). Spirit isnt that useful for arcane mage but this is. Extra spellpower for absorbing dmg? Yes Please. You can get a maximum of something like 1000 extra sp, depending how much you absorbed. With a Disc priest in raids, this is tasty. Also in Frost tree, improved frost Warding helps your survivability, mana sustainability and your fire/frost ward absorbs proc this talent.

Rotation: 4 Arcane Blasts(AB), then 1 Arcane Missile(AM). (Always, even if faster AM didnt proc)
When moving/mob low hp, fire an Arcane Barrage. If fast AM procs (with 0 AB stacks), use it and continue as norm.
If mana looking low, reduce an AB in the rotation, more if you are real low (i.e ABx2, AM)

Gemming: Red: 24 sp, yellow: 12sp 10 haste, blue: 12 sp 10 spirit
Haste/spellpower is what you aim for in arcane, I have around 838 haste/2629sp as a comparison. (30.85% crit but not a major stat)

Gear: T9 is pretty good, especially shouders hands and head. 4 Set bonus is still useful (though its crit).
A sweet trinket is [item]Abyssal Rune[/item], from ToC 5 man norm. Lots of haste and a ok proc. It's better than [item]Illustration of the Dragon soul[/item] for me.
Another one is [item]Talisman of Resurgence[/item] 50 triumph badges, I equip these 2 for arcane.
[item]Band of the Invoker[/item] 35 badges, haste and high sp.

Hit rating: With my talents, you'd need 17-3-1 = 13% self buff, raid = 10%/9% (with misery/draenae), so less hit than the other 2 mage specs

Macros:

#showtooltip Presence of Mind
/cast Presence of Mind
/cast Arcane Blast()

PoM shares cooldown with Arcane Power, so I tend to use it earlier: Use it for the 4th AB stack

#showtooltip Arcane Power
/cast Icy Veins
/cast Arcane Power
/use Talisman of Resurgence
/cast Arcane Blast()

Note: Talisman of Resurgence is my click-to-use trinket, it just makes sure I am chaining all my cooldowns for max effect

/cast Icy Veins
/cast Arcane Power
/use Talisman of Resurgence
/cast Arcane Blast()

Таис, къде е на човека фрост билдчето?

Копирам си го тук, че да го намирам по-лесно

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#oZZAIcIofu0fzgfot

[Mother]

Търся Уоу-ска тема, обаче не намирам такава. Намирам само Durty Laundry. Да не изгонихте уоу-аджиите от тука или те са прекалено заети със самата игра за да постват тука?

[The Dragon]

Нацупиха се и си тръгнаха повечето, а тези които останаха си четем elitistjerks.
