Right, been ages since I played.  Which stats/atrributes are important for which class by SPEC.

(Playing my shammy at mo and pretty confused by what gear - she seems to be mainly Elemental).

Thanks for that - and while it is on EJ - it has proven handy for me.

Why do I slate EJ I hear you ask. EJ is basically a terrible website and you should never go to it again.  It really is bad.  Never used to be though. Now its it's boring. And if there's one thing I can't tolerate, it's boringness. Secondly, half the information is incorrect or outdated at best. At worst it's just fucking stupid. Thirdly the pretentiousness quotient there is goddamn astronomical. Ask a fucking question and you'll be told to go read a 147 page thread and that the answer is in there 'somewhere.' 

I know I could use the official forums, but :terribads:.

Did you know Elitist jerks (the guild, that is) was formed by members of the Goons (the same Goons who were/are in EVE, that is)?

BG Marks dont exist anymore?

Just came out of a WSG on my priest and I never got one (we lost obviously - still did top healing :D).  So I assume they have been removed...

I like the mount changes.  Just bought all 4 nelf 60% mounts on my Priest.  The Dawnsabre is by far my favourite out of them all.

Theres achievements for mounts I take it? (10, 50, ?????)

PS Arathi Basin is 30+?

There are mount achievements for mounts and if you manage to gather 100 you even get a blue dragonhawk.

BG marks are gone except for Wintergrasp. If you got any old marks from before the change you can turn them in for some honor.
Honor to buy stuff is quite easy to get even if you only run northrend instances while your faction got wintergrasp. Killing bosses then gives stonekeepers shards and you can turn in 30 shards  to get 2k honor.
Winning a random bg at 80 can net around 5k+ honor...
I spent most of my warrior's honor to buy lvl 60 pvp set for my just for looks.  :D

Weapons and the best gladiator stuff is kinda tricky to get as you need good rating and arena points(And i just refuse to do arenas).

Flying mounts make the game stupid easy now.  Instead of wading through content, you just fly over everyone drop in on the poor bastard you need to kill and then fly out.  Getting tradeskill components is just as easy.

Not a question but a whine (how novel :D).

I froze XP on my DK for a while (Making gold and stuff), but thanks to barely anyone else doing this I cant get into BG's with him, as frozen xp folks get dumped into together.  This sucks, and I have no plans to unfreeze his xp for a long time.

Im mainly annoyed as its AV weekend (yes I know its the 10minute AV and not the half a day or more AV of waaaaay back, but its still AV)...

yeah it sucks i froze a lvl 19 i had and the wait time was awful even with ppl still twinking at 19 they need to review it and come up with some way of allowing you to go in the same bg's.

As if DK's are not bad enough in normal BG's... Nobody twinks at 59 or 69 anymore because of the DK twinks ruined the BG's at those caps. BG's are fun until 49, and become fun at 71 again (wether you do regular BG's or twink BG's).

The twinks having been removed from regular BG's was the smartest thing Blizzard did in a long time. Much more people do BG's these days in the lower level ranges. If you ventured to WSG as a fresh level 10 toon in your white gear and 132 health, and then got raped by 2.5k health level 19 twinks, it is no wonder they didn't try that "fun" *ever* again.

I get that - and also like why they did what they did, as it will make BG's om my priest more fun now.

I just am not impressed that to do some AV with an AV level character, I'll have to unlock his XP again :(

So, my priest has just about done Ashenvale.

Where next - back into Stonetalon for the pointers to Desolace as I dont seem to be able to find any obvious pointers from Ashenvale.

(Yes I know I could swan off to STV, but I have other characters that will be doing that - Shaman and a Paladin (in due time))

Duskwallow marsh had an overhaul some time ago and turned into a very nice area for mid-30s questing.
Stonetalon is quite lackluster for alliance, and involves lots of running.
Thousand needles (esp shimmering flats) can be nice around 30 as it'll level you really quickly with the dozen-or-so grind-quests.

you get a quest at lvl 28/29 from a guy in the battlemaster area of ironforge to go to shimmering flats which is good for a lvl or so.

also go to southshore at about lvl 29/30 when the quests there start.
