Holy crap. ZA was good to me tonight. Too bad it'll all be obsolete in a couple weeks. But, it sure is scary looking! Dkati has TUSKS for goodness sake!

Dkati and Tang do Kara...
And, compared to the last time I did Kara ( a loooong while a ago ) this was super easy. I think Hroda coined the term "Kara Light". Indeed it was.
Maiden went down in 41 seconds. Whoa.

Kyi and the guild take down ZA bosses!
Yeahmanman did wicked damage, and Kyi did not. But, seeing as how she lacks the +hit gear needed to do PVE, it's nice of the guild to let her go along! Awfully fun to own content that was previously too difficult. Yeah Blizzard!

Dkati immortalized!!!
Courtesy of Figure Prints, my little Dkati becomes immortal.
That dome sure does make it hard to take a picture of though. I spent enough on her that I could have had a really good dinner, or 3 PS3 video games. Ah well, I don't play any other games besides WoW, and haven't for a very long time.
She's so cute!
Dkati and the latest patch...
So, the (pvp) world turned upside down in the 3.0 patch. Of course, it was somewhat expected when you think of all the new talents, the big consolidation of +dam +heal to the sole +spellpower.
However, what I didn't expect was the sudden "burst" change. The new 51 point talents, and the consolidation across trees have made me quite powerful. If my target doesn't have 15k hp, he's going down in one stun cycle with the new and improved mutilate spec.
With that said, I'm sporting +420 res and 11k hp, and I'm routinely stun locked to death within 3 seconds by paladins and mages.
The DPS folks are supremely powerful right now.
Like others have said, it doesn't even pay to be a healer... especially a HoTing druid, because your heal target is obliterated too quickly -- even if only two people are attacking him.
I hear there's some RetPally nerfs incoming before the WotLK release.. but I think Blizzard is happy with a new burstyness. I can't 100% disagree.. but healing and burstyness seem to be polar opposite in philosophies. Warhammer battles take forever, mostly because healers are so strong. Slow allows tactics to develop, and allow players a chance to make those decisions. Healers on the back line? Find a way to sneak dps through to kill them -- or at least force them to heal themselves instead of the tanks.
Warcraft seems to be heading in the opposite direction. Quick, decisive, individual action over team tactics.
Fun? If your a DPS class, sure. It plays a bit like a FPS with some gibbing -- that's fine and good with me -- but it isn't what it was before. Well, fine, except for the RetPally. You shouldn't be able to stun+top dps+go immune+make others immune+become unsnarable+heal. That's stupid.
Kyi, the druid, can do all of that except go immune and stun (consistently), and I think balance druids are a tad overpowered. Pallies are the only class that can survive the burst currently. Mages can ice-block, but they can't deal the DPS and heal up through their immunity.
It'll be an interesting road to 80, to see how all this shakes out.
