Oh yeah, I meant to mention this a couple days ago, but forgot. You know those dwarf “fortresses” or “barracks” or whatever they’re called? The square ones, not the round “towers”. I have bitched endlessly (to myself) about the design of those things, because my Alliance toons were constantly getting completely turned around and lost inside them, and it would always take me forever to locate specific NPCs I needed to talk to because I could see the “!” or “?” on the minimap, but damned if I could actually find a passage that would get me to that spot. It took nearly a year of playing this game before I finally felt comfortable getting around in those buildings.
Well … after needing to go into Angar Fortress in the Badlands with my troll hunter (for the quest to retrieve that uppity belf’s stolen luggage and sword), I have to grudgingly admit to the brilliance of the design from a defensive standpoint. Those places are insanely difficult to infiltrate, especially if you’re larger than a dwarf (which means pretty much everybody but gnomes). Thanks to the combination of very short corridors, lots of corners, and staircases around every corner, it is literally impossible (assuming you’re going in "at level) to get line of sight on a defender without getting close enough to aggro said defender. My hunter was constantly forced into melee, usually with multiple opponents, because I could never get far enough away from the dwarves to use my bow, and if I did, it was pretty much guaranteed I was going to aggro even more of them.
Hmmm… Is he going to be a kinder, gentler Lich King, with Fordragon’s more mature personality and strength of will keeping a rein on Ner’zhul? Or is it going to be “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss”? Are they wrapping up the Scourge storyline in prep for the Cataclysm storyline, with the Old Gods and their draconic buddy being the new Big Baddies?
OK in Ashendale, done a couple of quests and homed in an inn at a town in the centre. hit level 22 Will i be able to find a shaman trainer out in alliance territory, or am I going to have to head back home for that?
Unfortunately, the only Alliance Shaman trainers in Kalimdor are in the Draenei starting area (Azure Watch and the Exodar). You can either set your hearth in Astranaar, take the hippogryph to Auberdine, take the boat to Azuremyst, get trained in the Exodar, then hearth back, or just hearth back to wherever you were hearthed in the starting area, get trained in the Exodar, take the boat back to Auberdine and take a gryph back to Astranaar. It’s a pain, but there’s not much choice.
Once you’re in Eastern Kingdoms, it’s a little easier, as both Ironforge and Stormwind have shammy trainers.
I sit corrected - I was going by what I remembered. That seems a little odd though since druids and shamans are both linked to nature so it wouldn’t be as weird as having a hunter trainer in UC (that’ll be likely to change come Cata, though).
Hope y’all can see this. I deleted every folder the GM said to delete, and I am still getting the transparency.
I know y’all said it’s SUPPOSED to be this way, but that doesn’t explain why I have never HAD it this way, and when I went to UI, it ALWAYS took me out of the game with no fear of being attacked.
Yeah, I know: It’s a minor inconvenience: just go hide and make the changes, but y’all know how I am…:rolleyes:
They probably figured that Darnassus and Exodar are so close to each other that it doesn’t really matter, with Darnassus being the one most “out of the way” for any character who’s going to be an Alliance shaman (which is only Draenei, at this point). I imagine that Gilneas is going to have shaman trainers when Cat comes out, but that doesn’t really help since it’s in EK, anyway.
Apologies if someone already answered. Ret Pally here with his two cents:
Save the sculpin and nettlefish for Fish Feasts (and add the glacial salmon for it). Be the sexy PUG’r for dropping one down at the beginning of a LFG. Just use the Dragonfin Filet for soloing. The poached Northern Sculpin is a loss since AP doesn’t scale with other buffs like the STR does. You can get all three ingredients for fish feasts in the Wintergrasp lakes…I found a sweet spot that I can fish from and technically still be in Dragonblight while fishing in the southeastern lake in Wintergrasp. Indu’le (sp?) Lake in Dragonblight is the closests to both WIntergrasp and Dalaron where you can farm the Dragonfin for the solo food buff.
