Hell yeah! MMO Champion has done its usual data-mining magic and managed to unearth most of the latest Arena gear and whoa, does it look amazing. Boubouille notes that many of the sets are incomplete and that some Photoshop work was done for display purposes, but I think we get the general idea. Season 7 items are the latest iteration of evolutionary design, which builds visually upon older sets. This design evolution was hinted at in vanilla World of Warcraft, where the old Warlord / Field Marshal PvP sets were minor visual upgrades from the Champion / Lieutenant Commander sets. The Season 7 item sets should probably called Badass Gladiator because, well, personally I think they’re just… badass. While Blizzard promised the return of faction-specific sets in Patch 3.2, these will apply to PvE Tier 9, and from the looks of it won’t be as phenomenal as it sounds considering classes sharing the same armor type will look nearly identical to one another. On the other hand, Season 7 gear, which also seems to introduce new weapon models, keep on improving without having to resort to dragon nipples or orbiting Thralls. It seems that Zarhym’s promise of the Arena sets improving as the seasons continue is a solid one. Personally, I think the newly uncovered

Patch 3.2 has been announced, and shamans saw some changes. That’s the short version. Well, we’ve had the big patch notes bomb dropped on us, and they weren’t kidding about changing restoration around, were they? Of course, if you’re an orc shaman, you also got expertise with fist weapons added on to your racial, which is pretty neat all told. We also finally saw the debut of the new totem interface, which I can’t say enough good things about. The ability not only to drop up to four totems in one GCD but to have up to three customizable sets of four totems for different uses (I plan on making a set just for when there’s no DK’s around and I can finally use Strength of Earth totem instead of freaking Stoneskin) just made the clouds part and a host of glorious angels descend upon me. Turns out they wanted some money, but still, for a moment it was pretty keen. Before we get rolling, though, I want to remind people: I want your horde screenshots! Otherwise this column is just going to be goat-men from the Twisting Nether, and I know you don’t want that. I personally don’t care, but you guys get so upset, and while that orc racial does make leveling my orc shaman appealing, I don’t really think I have the time. I should

Bornakk just released some major details of the Crusaders’ Coliseum, the new 5/10/25 man dungeon that will be released with Patch 3.2. First and foremost, this will be the next tier of raiding. There wow powas some speculation that this would be an interim tier of raiding, however that is not the case. The gear that will come out of the Crusaders’ Coliseum appears to be Tier 9. Secondly, the encounters will be unlocked one per week until all five encounters are available. This mirrors very closely the way the Sunwell Plateau was handled back in Patch 2.4. Finally, there will be a new “Crusaders’ Tribute” mechanic. The mechanic appears to track the number of times you attempt an encounter, and the fewer times it takes you to complete the encounter, the greater the loot will be for the final boss. A type of raid where you are going for the Tribute rewards will be called a “Tribute Run.” For further information about the upcoming patch check out WoW.com’s Guide to Patch 3.2. The full details of the announcement after the break. This is the official announcement: In the next major content patch, the construction of the Crusaders’ Coliseum on the Argent Tournament grounds will be complete, and it will hold new challenges for

15 Minutes of Fame is our look at World of Warcraft players of all shapes and sizes – from the renowned to the relatively anonymous, the remarkable to the player next door. Tip us off to players you’d like wow poto hear more about. If you think “the furry fandom” sounds like a bunch of players who like playing Tauren, you’d be right — to a tip-of-the-iceberg degree. This week’s 15 Minutes of Fame looks at a often maligned, frequently mocked yet little understood hobby and lifestyle: the furry fandom, or furries. Furries (or “furs”) are fans of fictional, anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Together, these furries form the furry fandom, a community of artists, writers, roleplayers and general fans of the furry art forms who gather on the internet and at conventions. Yes, these are cosplayers in fur suits – but there’s a lot more to it, as this week’s profile will show. Now, before we proceed: Yes, there’s a segment of the furry community that’s into erotic art. While the media have had the proverbial field day with this furry fodder, the sex-focused furs are by no means an especially representative segment of furry fandom. Even if they were, this profile is

This week saw the first of Blizzard’s class Q&A columns. Amazingly, we shamans got to go first. While Eliah already covered the basics for us, I thought going in depth with the discussion would be worthwhile. There’s a lot of information in the Q&A as a whole to go over and discuss. For example: One longer-term wow gold kaufenchange we are considering is removing the buff totems (replacing them with normal spells) and making all of the totems do something more active, like the current damage or healing totems. We’ve even discussed letting shamans carry a totem on their back (the tauren do it already) but that may be too far out there. No, no it’s not too out there. Make it happen, make it happen now please. I don’t care if you have to make a new weapon category that only shamans can equip for this to happen, I want to see shamans with those great big honking totems on their backs already. I don’t know how I feel about the idea of losing Windfury Totem and getting some kind of Windfury Aura or what have you, though. I mean, it would be more convenient, sure, but totems are a big part of the way the class plays and I don’t know how I’d feel about losing the buff totems. I’ve never found totem placement to be

Robin Torres writes WoW, Casually for the player with limited playtime. Of course, you people with lots of playtime can read this too, but you may get annoyed by the fact that we are unashamed, even proud, of the fact that beating WoW isn’t our highest priority. Take solace in the fact that your gear is better than ours, but if wow goldthat doesn’t work, remember that we outnumber you. Not that that’s a threat, after all, we don’t have time to do anything about it. But if WoW were a democracy, we’d win. Hello, my name is Robin and I’m an altaholic. I’m not here to try to stop, however. I find it a lot of fun and playing games is all about fun. But it has prevented me from experiencing the endgame content when everyone is excited about it, rather than just spinning their wheels waiting for the next expansion. So, now I want to choose which alt to take to the end. But which one will be easy for leveling and still be valuable in groups when I reach the endgame? In my experience, the best class to play as a casual player is one that is easily soloable, with little downtime, but also able to find groups quickly when necessary, particularly at max level. Following is how I rate each class according to those criteria. Rogue: Sneaking

Word is coming through the grapevine that patch 3.1.3 will be released tomorrow. MMO-Champion is also confirming this, so given both of our information I’d say it’s a sure bet. We posted the patch notes last week when Zarhym released them, and they’re after the break so you can become reacquainted with the small changes that’ll be happening. If there are suddenly new notes tomorrow we’ll let you know. When a mirror is available for download we’ll get a post up; probably sometime wow goldearly tomorrow afternoon. This patch is also likely a harbinger of maintenance tomorrow, however there has been no official announcement yet. The patch notes after the break.
