If you ever want to make a post that refutes the claim that every armor set since vanilla is "total shit", don't research hunter sets to illustrate your point. Ew.

Rogues seem to have the most consistently decent looking sets. I think with shamans they said hey what kind of bulbous and off-putting item can we attach to the shoulders this time?

Paladin T16 is fucking awesome. Only took them since Judgement to put something out that didn't look like dogshit.

ICC, ULD, Firelands, black temple were all good Pally sets. I don't personally like this one that much looks like a robe more than a plate cuirass with chain skirt and the helm looks dumb imo. I am torn between uld and bwl for best set ever personally.

Also a shout to crystal forged, not the greatest but one of the best themed sets, it fit tempest keep perfectly.

Compared to this atrocity a couple of the other sets look amazing.

Most groups that do "Normal" can get up to Malkorok before they start having problems - for you guys that are just doing raid finder and flex. If its monday and you're free, pug that shit.

I can concur about flex malkorok. My last flex just couldnt push it. Puddles are a nightmare with pugs.

The only normies I see advertised are for 550+. I might look into openraid once I get the legendary shit out of the way.

We should just start our own Flex group. I only need Garrosh and then I've completed LFR. Wiped once last night but I wasn't in the mood to do another 20 minute fight at 1 in the morning so I went to bed.

Cryptstalker was a pretty good looking set back in Vanilla, I don't remember any sets I liked the look of better than it up through Wrath, hadn't really checked out the last 2 expansion hunter sets though for comparison. Giantstalker and Dragonstalker in Vanilla looked like utter trash though.

In non armor chat, holy shit. Accidently merchanted a pvp breastplate a few days ago and didn't notice until this morning. There is a damn automated item restore through the website. That's cool as all hell.

It's the New Year, and 2014 is going to be a big one for World of Warcraft. This November marks the game's 10-year anniversary and the 20-year anniversary of the entire Warcraft series. We're looking forward to celebrating these milestones with everyone, but in the meantime, we've got a few Warlords of Draenor-related updates to share.

Preparing for Battle
At BlizzCon, we laid out our plans to send you into battle against some of the biggest and baddest enemies in Warcraft history. While the Iron Horde gears up for war on Draenor, back here on earth we're making preparations for the expansion's upcoming closed beta test. If you'd like to be considered, now's a great time to make sure you're opted in to Warcraft betas and that the hardware specs in your Beta Profile are up to date. (Full instructions can be found here.)

Report from the Front Lines
From the outset, players will find themselves hurled into a chaotic conflict with the Iron Horde at a new Dark Portal on Draenor. The situation for Azeroth is grim, and the war effort needs heroes-from new recruits to retired champions to warriors still tending wounds earned at the Siege of Orgrimmar. To get everyone straight to the action, when you buy the expansion, it will come with a boost to level 90 for one character on your WoW account. We're getting ready to test the functionality for that on the PTR, and we wanted to provide a quick update on how it will work with the upcoming expansion presales.

Warlords of Draenor will be available for pre-purchase digitally SoonT, and we're once again planning to have standard digital and Digital Deluxe versions (along with a physical Collector's Edition-more on that at a later date). This time, if you pre-purchase the Digital Deluxe edition you'll get your exclusive World of Warcraft pet and mount right away, allowing you to bring a little bit of Draenor past into Azeroth present.

In addition, when you pre-purchase either digital version, we're going to grant you your level-90 boost at the time of pre-purchase. That's a little different from the plan we laid out at BlizzCon, but based on the feedback, it's obvious that many of you would like the chance to get acquainted with a new class before heading into the expansion. This will also give more players the opportunity to experience the current end-game content and the events leading up to Garrosh's exodus to Draenor. Maybe you'll get your Legendary cloak from Wrathion and level 90-100 Heirloom weapon in the process.

Bolster the Ranks
We've also heard feedback from players that they'd be interested in boosting multiple characters to 90, including alts they play with friends on other factions and realms. We've been evaluating ways to make that possible without having players go through roundabout methods (such as purchasing multiple boxes and performing multiple character transfers), and in the near future we'll be testing out a feature that gives you the option to purchase a character upgrade directly. We'll have more information to share later-including details on our character-upgrade plans for Asian regions where players don't buy expansion boxes-but you'll start seeing pieces of the process soon on the PTR, so keep an eye out.

We're looking forward to the closed beta test, and we're excited we're able to give players their character boost immediately upon pre-purchasing-hopefully that will help tide you over while you're waiting for the epic battle for Draenor to begin. Stay tuned for more information on presales and our beta plans, and we hope you'll join in and help us test this stuff out when it hits the PTR.

MM I think I might play this again for 10 days with the free trial thing I think I can do Mists of Pandaria. Anyone have any tips I should know or just "it's WoW just play it" ? I haven't played since a little before MoP came out so I'm definitely leaning towards playing a Monk. I have an 80 (85? can't remember max level back then) of every other class already.

Oh and I'm Horde - Mal'Ganis. Wonder if that server is still populated.
