A Mastery system preview for Cataclysm has been posted on he WoW forums. Eyonix has briefly explained the mission and goals for the mastery system, which will revamp the current talent trees. What is clear is that Blizzard isn’t a huge fan of generalized damage increase talents, such as, increase damage by 1%/2%/3%, etc. They look to replace that with master talents, to give more fun and robust talents a chance to be used.
It’s true we tend to rely on cookie cutter talent builds to maximize DPS, and rightfully so, …

Alright guys, Patch 3.3.3 is bring some changes, and if you want to make some money in the Auction House, now is the time to start paying attention. While I did a Frozen Orb post not too long ago, I am going to take a further look at what these pre-Cataclysm changes mean.
Titanium Bars and Tailoring Cloth
The cooldowns for Titanium Bars, Spellweave, Ebonweave, and Moonshroud have been removed. Watch the AH closely, and the closer we get to 3.3.3, the lower these prices will get. I am labeling these as …

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will be a brand new game, rebuilt from the ground up. As a player, I have tremendouslyenjoyed the 5+ years I have spent playing WoW. Part of the fascination is the new content and ever changing gameplay, while the other half is the wide variety of things available to do in game. Blizzard will now be tearing down their old world, rebuilding it for a re-launch (so-to-speak) of World of Warcraft.
So why re-do the whole of Azeroth? One thing I love to do is analyze why …

Here is a post from Eyonix about the upcoming stat and system changes to our gear, gems, etc. in WoW Cataclysm: [Source]
A couple key things to note concerning Retribution Paladins:
Reforging will allow re-distribution of certain stats. Certain stat changes will not be permitted, such as Stamina to Strength.
Ret Paladins will be getting mana through other means, no Intellect on gear (a given).
Armor Pen is out, will be converted to crit or haste.
Ratings will be much more difficult to cap in Cataclysm. This means no easy hit caps.
Weapon skill is gone. …

There is a new trojan virus out there that can hack into World of Warcraft accounts protected by an authenticator. We all knew something like this was bound to show up at some point in time.
MMO-Champion has reported on this, stating the following [Source]:
Basically, what the virus does is fairly simple after you’re infected :
The next time you log in World of Warcraft, the game asks for your Authenticator code.
The virus intercepts it, send it to another server, and sends a wrong one to Blizzard = You get an error.
The …

In Patch 3.3.3, it looks as if the assault for Gnomeregan will begin! More than any other race, I am partial to Gnomes. If Gnomes could be Paladins, you can bet every dollar I’d be one. I’m stoked about this!
MMO Champion has a slew of new 3.3.3 information, and I will gladly plug it here so you guys can see what’s in store for new content before Cataclysm!

Heirloom gear in Cataclysm will be seeing some changes. Not sure I’m a huge fan, but at the same time, I understand the logic behind it. The current heirloom gear in WotLK will NOT be beneficial or useful past level 80. It will not scale with level 81-85, and will not grant the XP bonuses. This is according to several sources on the Cataclysm forums, but has not been officially confirmed by Blizzard yet.
They can still be used to level from 1-80, but will become non-factors from level 81 on. …

It looks as if we will have a bit more PvE and PvP content and changes before Cataclysm is released. What exactly Blizz will give us is going to be revealed in the coming weeks, or so the blue post says. This has me highly interested, so I will be sure to post details as they come. This isn’t exactly new news, but I figured I’d post it for those of you that might have missed it on other WoW news sites.
Here is the blue post, and the original thread …
