Cataclysm: It’s A Rogue’s Life

Rogues.  Some of you love us.  Some of you hate us.  Some of you just want our lockpicking skills in your pocket.

Come Cataclysm, rogues are going to get a ton of new tricks that may or may not be smacked with the nerf bat beforehand.   While all three specs are getting new goodies, I’m simply going to speculate on the cross-spec points, as all of my rogues (we won’t talk about my little problem) are deep assassination or headed that way as they level. … Continue Reading

Cataclysm: Goblin and Worgen Fun!

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS.  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I woke up this morning and waiting for me was my partner with loads of really neat and fun Cataclysm sounds/video.  So I’ve decided to share with you everything I got to see today because it really is fun!  I’m not sure if these will be the final animations and sounds because these are from BETA, knowing it could change at any time.  But!  Enjoy the fun none the less  hehe.

Cataclysm: Abyssal Seahorse Mount

Cataclysm: Abyssal Seahorse Mount

For Beta Build 12604 (it’s the newest version out) there is a mount that just makes me very happy because if you were unaware, level 80-82 zones coming out in Cataclysm, are underwater zones.  So, here is a bit of eye candy for those who love collecting mounts as much as I do, thanks to Warcraft Mounts.

As you can see this guy is called an Abyssal Seahorse and I am REALLY liking how it looks.  It’s new, it’s exciting, and I must say it looks good with a player on it.  It’s been reported that the swimming animation is a bit jerky and the mount itself sits too high off the surface of the water.  Blizzard, I’m sure, will fix these things because I would really like to have one of these lovely little ‘sea ponies’.  There are lot of different colors in the Beta Build and those with different colored tack but it’s unsure right now how to obtain the different colors (make sure you click on the image to the right to see the larger version).  What is fun about these mounts is that, while after learning – via quest givers – how to walk and breathe underwater, you will be given a rather long chain quest to ‘catch and tame’ your very own Abyssal Seahorse Mount.  I can’t begin to tell you how awesome that is!  I hope, due to the Huntress in me, that the mechanics of this idea is worked out well because I am still praying with all my heart that Hunters will be able to tame their own mounts.  My list of “Want to Tame Mounts” just gets bigger each day hehe.

Happy Hunting!
