Want to be a sultan of swing healing? A champion of Chain Heal? Totem Talk: Restoration will show you how, brought to you by Joe Perez, otherwise known as Lodur from World of Matticus and the For The Lore podcast. Back at the beginning of April, we were treated to the Cataclysm preview for all of the classes. Many people were excited, some were disappointed, but everyone had news to digest. This past week has seen the Cataclysm friends and family alpha start and since then, we have seen a plethora of leaks: everything from images of the changes to old zones and new instances up to some data-mined information about female worgen. Needless to say, it has been a pretty busy week. This last week has also seen a lot of discussion about the leaked talent trees as they are in the alpha now. I thought now would be a good time to take a break from boss talks to talk about what we know so far about the shaman talent trees and maybe find out your opinions on them as well. The information in the link above is leaked and is in no way official. If you are waiting for an official release or don’t want to see any potential spoilers, don’t click the link. Otherwise let us take a look at some of the potential changes. When I first

Emblem upgrades in Blood Pact would be happen every week for each player that the player need to be attention.The fellowing article is introduce the Emblem upgrades in Blood Pact.Read it and get the general idea,you will find that can help you to solve your problems in playing world of warcraft for Blood Pact. I recently turned my attention back to one of my ‘locks that I had pretty much stopped playing after Trial of the (Grand) Crusader. This means that his gear isn’t bad by any means but that there are quite a few upgrades I can get for him without even having to get him raiding again. Pretty much all of these items come from spending Emblems of Frost. Emblems of Frost can be collected a number of ways, the easiest being the random heroic. Completing a random Lich King heroic dungeon (using the dungeon finder tool — /LFD) for the first time each day will earn you two Emblems of Frost, so that’s 14 each week. Do note that the random element of this tool is the dungeon; feel free to form your own party before using it. You can also do the weekly raid quest for another 5 emblems. Toravon the Ice Watcher is holding a couple more for you, so if you can kill him on 10- and 25-man modes, then you can bag

Guilds who’ve been slower making the climb are having a harder and harder time finding raiders willing to commit to the final stretch. Everyone’s worried how the expansion’s changes to raid drops and incentives are going to affect the guild’s motivation and team spirit. The community is holding its collective breath, waiting for Cataclysm … How is your guild holding itself together during this time of transition? Our website is looking for an article on how guilds can keep from disintegrating during this pre-expansion period of transition. We’re looking for thoughtful strategies and suggestions, between 500 and 1,000 words, on ways that guilds can successfully survive the period linking the end of Wrath with the launch of Cataclysm. What is your guild doing? What alternatives are working for other guilds and raiding groups? Preferably, you’re the GM or an officer of a guild or the leader of a regular raiding group (although we won’t discount submissions from other types of players). As with all guest post call-outs, only the best submission will be accepted. Here’s what to do: read up about the Seed guest writer program, sign up and then submit your article (you can’t

Foxlight is now even more aptly named, now that you have chosen holy for his talent tree. You also voted for jewelcrafting/mining, so he will be making pretty, sparkly things. But, while most of you find Fox Van Allen’s shirtless pally fabulous, you’re really here to vote on the class and race of WoW.com’s prom queen, Christian Belt. You’ll also get to vote on the questing zone for next week, if you so choose. But first, the schedule: * Matthew Rossi as Andrenorton, his new troll mage: Some time Saturday * Fox Van Allen as Foxlight, the blood elf paladin: Saturday, 8 p.m. EDT * Amy Schley as Patent, the troll rogue, Adam Holisky as Adammentat, the tauren druid, and Gregg Reece, the orc warlock, will be making appearances as they can. The polls are after the break. We’ve been questing all over Stonetalon Mountains for the week. Should we move to another quest area? I have listed our other zone choices in order of how much of a change they are likely to go through in Cataclysm, from most to least.

Our website brings you another leak of Cataclysm information, this time provided to us by our friends that ran WotLK Wiki, who are now setup under Nihilum Cataclysm Wiki. The information is the first look at the new user interface strings. These provide key glimpses into what the UI[User Interface], and thus the player, will be doing in Cataclysm. Obviously, they are not complete and there will be tons more added throughout the alpha and beta phases. We want to be sure not to give any spoiler content for those that concerned about such things, so everything of substance is after the break. Don’t read on if you don’t like spoilers. This post is currently being updated. Thank you for your patience.

We are proud to welcome a new generation of trees whatever we’re going to be in Cataclysm. Before I do anything else, I want to draw some attention to a guide on restoration healing recently published by Tree Bark Jacket that is an incredibly impressive work. It’s comprehensive and fun to read, and for anyone who’s getting started with the spec, I highly recommend heading both there and to Lissanna’s guide to restoration healing in patch 3.3. We’re continuing our updated and expanded series on how to gear a new druid at 80, and this week we’re going to tackle restoration druids. Frankly, a lot of the desirability for the listed pieces depends on your spec and current level of +haste (if you’re wondering why that is, you’ll find an explanation in our Restoration 101 post). If you are planning to raid on your resto druid, this is a bare-bones guide to what you need to look for: * If you have 3/3 Celestial Focus and are below 735 haste, prioritize haste. Look for +haste pieces and gem Reckless Ametrines. * If you have 3/3 Celestial Focus and are at or above 735 haste, you can either prioritize/gem spellpower or (much better) move points into more throughput talents in the restoration
