World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

They're in the process of putting up content, so expect some 404's and weirdness for a few hours.

Gnomes simply CANNOT be allowed TO heal. Kumi followed Mally all over the fjord and not ONCE would Earthliving proc.

NOT... ONCE.

I'm telling you, we count on gnomes for heals and we're all gonna die.

Just sayin'.

I don't understand why people don't trust me. Maybe it's my cleavage. Maybe it's my demons. Maybe people just make up reasons not to trust me - because my cleavage and my demons are working as intended...

On the other hand, now we can get the puppies to pee on the Gnomes and put them in their place! And they could be BearPuppies!

Fun Facts to Know and Share

WARLOCKS:

No more soul shards sucking up bag space
3 shard limit
Only one spell uses shards anymore
Soul Burn consumes shard to empower next spellcast
They regen out of combat only
In-combat way of replenishment in case of mistakes or long fights
UI addition much like Runes for DKs

HUNTARDS:

No more ammo sucking up bag space
Single item (like thrown weapons?)
No more Mana bar
Focus is back (like their pets, was in original WoW beta)
Steady Shot improves Focus regen

Stat Changes:

Reducing number of stats
No More Spellpower
Int will now improve Spellpower directly
No More MP5
All mana casters will get a form of Meditation
No More Attack Power
Strength and Agility will directly improve AP based on class (leather/mail items will be mostly useless for Plate characters now)
No More Defense
Tanks will get anti-crit straight from Talents
Haste will improve Focus/Energy/Rune recharge. Retadins and Enhancement Shammies will get talents to assist this (as they use mana)
Block Value kaput
Blocks will reduce damage straight up
Stamina will go through the roof, what with eliminating the other crap stats

Lots and lots of huge changes. More than I'm posting. MMO Champion has a very good write up so far.
