I want to level a Death Knight purely for Lemming purposes.........

 I have no real interest in the character as a whole.  I mean.  An Undead Gnome wearing plate and swinging a 2h?  Um.......    Disturbing?

I bet Gargan will have an alt though.  haha.

lvling 4 toons to 80 is gonna blow. 

Secretary vice president to the vice president's secretary of the department of redundancy department

What would really be cool simple (yet complex) to do is make it intertwine with the other proffesion. Incribe sinister strike with elementals, incrases +2 fire damage, +2 shadow damage etc etc. Costs 4 motes of fire, 4 motes of shadow etc etc, 4 vision dust, 6 (some random herb plant) and 1 parchment (engineers already make parchment that is used for 1 thing in the game, making a blacksmith recipe).

Yes, Paladin's have a very secular style of healing.  It involves:

• (10) Flash Heal Target;
• (20) If Target 'Poison', Cleanse, or Return to 10;
• (30) Return to 10;

Very complicated to master efficiently. 

Addendum to WotLK Preparation List: 

Consider visiting brother in Dallas for "Company Audit" such as has to be performed in Midland once a month.

 "Can't talk now wifey, I'm kil.... finishing an audit here in Azer.... err.. Midland.  Tell the kids I love them, I should be home by the end of the workweek."

 heh

Paladin healing is considered a style? :P 

Gold is good for re-speccing, especially if greens are pimp.

Druid:

I'm going to get feral gear first this time. I picked a class that can tank/dps/heal for a reason :) Getting 35k armor in BC for feral druid is insane (still not there yet). Getting resto gear was cake!

Other considerations:

• take full week off work, call in sick the next week (blame on seafood!)
• prepare entertainment for, and/or bribe kids (rent movies?)
• stock up on microwave dinners
• join downfall IRC
• mana biscuits!

I was thinking the same thing when I was reading on that Talisman last week. 

"Hmm......  Do I want a trinket that will let me LIVE through crap so I can get unstuck (Insignia of Alliance), or a trinket with no Sta/Int/etc buffs that MIGHT heal extra....." 

Hmm.......   That is true.  For some reason I wasn't think about that while theorizing.

 So enchanting would be a valid gathering profession for Inscription.  I want to see an inscription that would let Holy Paladin's add HoT's to Flash of Light, Holy Light, and Holy Shock spells.

Inscription materials to gather?  Good question, I'm hoping we get an answer. 

Jewelcrafting basically introduced a new click (gems), I wonder if inscription will do the same starting at 55?

The only materials I can think of that would be viable for magical 'inscriptions' would be enchanting materials or for non-magical 'inscriptions' engineering materials.  My feelings on inscriptions is that they would lean more towards magical since Jewelcrafting already utilizes mining as a secondary profession.  Having another profession that relies on Mining would be a little unbalancing.

Blacksmithing/Alchemy/Engineering/Jewelcrafting/Leatherworking seem flat-out since they all rely on secondary professions to keep them stocked.  So let's look at the gathering professions.

Herbalism could be viable by the ink for the inscriptions being made from mixing varies gathered plants.  Currently on Alchemist's really use Herbalism, so there isn't much hold on the plants.

Mining is already in use by Blacksmiths, Jewelcrafters, and Engineers.  Pretty heavy load on hard to find nodes.  (*hint* Cartographer, GET IT)

Skinning can't really be viable because unless your inking the skin, then putting the skin on the armor, I don't really see use for stacks and stacks of rugged leather in magical or non-magical inscription.

Enchanting.  Now, why would I list Enchanting as a gathering profession?  Well think about it, every time you disenchant you get stacks of this dust or that shard.  Piles of enchanting materials are all over the Auction House at any given time.  The only reason I doubt enchanting would be used for inscriptions is most enchantments are non-stackable with other enchants/glyphs/etc.  So unless Inscription is given the 'Disenchant' ability, Enchanting is really not gonna do it.  However, I still feel the added 'Disenchant' to Inscription might be viable so that Enchanting/Inscriptions mats can finally come from multiple sources, as JC/BS/Engin/Leather can be gotten from world drops, chests, etc

Or we could just be fu-barred and Blizz will create another stand-alone profession like Cooking, where the Inscriptions are crafted from world-drop items. (Totems from trolls, relics from Furbolgs, candles from gnolls, etc).  That would be tedious, but it would be a profession I'd probably take.  "What?!?!  I have to slaughter hundreds or even THOUSANDS to become a Master in this profession!?!??!  WHERE CAN I SIGN UP!?!?!?"

posting here because its easy on my psp my fios installation got screwed up and ill be out of the intarweb for a few weeks.

There was no truce when BC hit, two hours after the gates opened is when the ganking began.  From what I saw it was a group of 6-7 high pvp ranked horde.  Can't remember their names though.

This is one reason Blizz has made multiple paths into Northrend this go around, to try and avoid the huge clump up in one zone. 

Shihli, looks like you missed the last line "He's gonna store them all on five different characters, flood the AH
with high-prices, and use the money to max-out enchanting on his new
Death Knight."

Anyways, doing the quests and turning them in didn't work so well when BC came out. Heres my tips, I was one of the first haundred or so to hit 70.

There will be a truce when the server went BC, this was agree'd apon the major guilds. This truce was broken once we all hit 70. I including, turned the lower level area into hell. I heard the truce was also broken among the later crowd (PvP means you will get ganked sooner or later).

Ok, suggestions, hordeing gold isn't a bad idea. Doesn't exactly help with leveling, but itll help once you hit 80. The second I hit 70, I was able to buy an able mount. Works nicely doesn't it?

Don't be agraid to lose your gear. You are leveling, purple doesn't mean shit. Replace it with greens. When I hit 70 my entire blood fang was gone besides the gloves (lawl, OP then OP at 70)

Stay ahead of the crowd. Many non hardcore people were able to keep up with me and my friends because they stayed one zone ahead. No crowds meant no compitition on mobs and no lag (entire server in one zone will make lag, get over it)

I said friends, friends are good. Use them when you need them, if you don't have any thats ok. Heres the thing, quest says Kill 8-10 random shit, find other people, as many as you can WHILE doing the quest to join you. Another quest says Gather 8-10 random things. Ditch your friends (unless this require killing and you're afraid to respect from holy). It is quicker, for both people.

Are you a crafter? Plan on keeping your crafts up to date? Get lots of mats ready for release, you will burn them if you want your trade skills to get up. Craft random shit. The sooner you get the end-game enchants the more people you have to craft on/for and the quicker you will max out.

Research. By the time WotLK comes out, BETA will be open. Discuss the zones, content, and instances. Find out what quests are bugged, what quests are quick and easy. Do those first.

Lastly, how hardcore are you? Are you trying to hit 80 ASAP? Do you really want to? Enjoy the content. Decide what is important to you.

2. Close your eyes
