... Whelp, that's it. I'm getting back into raiding.

Being an Archmage is so last year, I'm going Arch-Dinomancer - speciality in T-Rex-o-mancy.

Ooooh, we're going to fight Jin'rokh :'o

I imagine that Argent Dawn must be pretty funny for these new mounts and such, since I can guarantee that people do indeed ride them around IC and shit.

Right, 5.2 unofficial patch notes are out.

Three new factions: Kirin-Tor Offensive led by Jaina Proudmoore and the Sunreaver Onslaught led by Lor'themar Theron. Players can choose to do PvE or PvP quests with these factions. A third faction, the Shado-Pan Assault, has impressive Valor rewards and reputation can only be earned in raids.

Two new world bosses: Nalak, the Storm Lord and Oondasta.

The new raid is the Throne of Thunder, which has 13 bosses, and 4 different segments on Raid Finder.

All world bosses are now Tap to Faction. This new system offers every eligible player of the same faction that engages a boss the chance to earn loot.

The legendary questline continues in 5.2, with the reward being a special head enchant.

Elite Battle Pets have been added to the game world--they will spawn alone against an entire team.

New tameable species for Hunters: Dire Horn.

PvP trinkets that clear loss of control effects will now also clear these effects from the player's pet as well.

Zandalari mobs will spawn in Pandaria zones, that will take small groups to defeat. They have a chance to drop crafting materials, reputation gains, an achievement, and even the chance to get one of three new rare mounts!

The Warlock-only questline for green-colored spells is back on the PTR.

New pets will be found on the Isle of Lightning, including Rare spawn drops, wild pets, and raid boss drops.

Level capped players will now have a chance to each Lesser Charms of Good Fortune after winning a pet battle versus a Pet within 5 levels of the highest level pet on their team.

Sunsong Ranch has a variety of changes, including buffed special crops and nerfed Wild Crops. The farm can eventually function as a player's personal inn as well.

Throne of Thunder is the new 13 boss raid, with the last boss being Heroic Difficulty only.

Warlock will be able to unlock green fire spell effects through the quest line that starts with The Codex of Xerrath.

You can now purchase your farm, where several quality of life improvements have been made.

Wrathion is back once again and will reward you with a new head enchantment, Crown of the Heavens.

There are two new world bosses, both of which will be a more pleasant experience now that anyone from your faction can tag them and everyone will get loot!

The Isle of the Thunder King is the new daily questing zone, with the Kirin-Tor Offensive led by Jaina Proudmoore and the Sunreaver Onslaught led by Lor'themar Theron. Doing quests will unlock the powerful Lightning Forge, which will allow Blacksmiths to forge mighty raid-worthy items, as well as classic weapons from the past. Other features will also be unlocked by your realm's participation in the war effort.

Four new scenarios have also been added. (Unofficially)

New crafted Gladiator gear and heirlooms that scale to level 85 were among the new items added in Patch 5.2.

Additionally, a lot of Season 13 and Tier 15 armor sets are already in the game files!

New models, new mounts.

Let's start off with those.

Also keep in mind that This Dinomancy crap is Zandalari only. Good luck with getting them to teach you that stuff without going lorelol.

So Lor'Themar gets useful and not forgotten in Silvermoon City for a change? Wonder what he'll contribute with... confused

by **erwtenpeller** Sun Dec 23, 2012 12:11 pm

There is some seriously awesome stuff in there....

I'm really wondering what he brings to the table in a faction fight where it looks to be Magic vs. Magic.

>.>
<.<

If he pulls all kinds of magic out of his ass, I hope it's not to cheesy.
On the other hand, Anasterian was both a warrior and a gifted magician so.... Long live Sorceror-King Theron?

I have to make a troll after seeing that post. I got a semi just looking at some of those models.

EDIT: Tier 15 of Druid, Mage, Monk (tattoos!!!) - the only issue being that I probably won't get any of them until the next expansion Sad

Also, the season 13 of: DK (more subtle than their usual ones) ... The mage one, I'm going to get it ASAP and use it... Paladin AKA Gladiator!

by **erwtenpeller** Sun Dec 23, 2012 3:29 pm

It seems druids have hit a double-jackpot, both the pvp and pve tiers look delicious.

I also REALLY dig the shaman pvp set.

by **siegmund** Sun Dec 23, 2012 4:59 pm

Rogue tier 15... Makes me want to raid... Worgen in that dear god!

All I can say is, Finally! Druids have barky armour so we can RP growing it on our bodies in rp Very Happy

Each to their own, I guess. I personally love the twisted bark style. It reminds me of the trees in Darkshire, with the faces in them.

by **The Z** Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:55 pm

Ugh. Possibly the best expansion to date and I've almost stopped playing WoW during it...I blame those goddamned dailies and other great games stealing my attention.

"way to put rogue back to late cata godmode again and putting warrior back to free hk just like in cata"
So you'd prefer warrior gods and rogue HKs like we have today? (Source)

Worst excuse EVER! Why can't they balance it, instead of coming with a full retard comment like that?
