Yeah, they've been hinting at an awesome spidery theme for the Warlock set so now it's been built up it had better be REALLY cool.
Good for the Pallies to have a decent looking set. They so often get stuck with something really dumb. Also, I rather like the Hunter set.

Paladins and Hunters say otherwise about their sets.

No surprises. Vocal doesn't really mean much.

pally set looks a bit too cloth-like. Hunters look awesome as always.
Getting excited to see the lock and druid sets!
Also nice to see that mages didn't still the gear that should have been meant for locks this time :D (the burning skull theme they had in T11 ... thank god there's an offset piece with the same looks!)

That's true.
I've seen people !@#$% about almost EVERY Hunter tier set.

Personal victory, my guild finally got 12/12!
A bit later than I'd hoped to do it but it's been an interesting tier for my little guild, fraught with many issues both personal and technical. Very happy to have killed that big nasty dragon though.

Congratulations for that, then!

gz asakawa!
I only killed him last week myself, because I was never able to make "clean up" nights in my new guild :) Then in 1 night, I get a Maloriak hc kill, the hc T11 legs token, Defender of a Shattered World title and I buy the PvP neck (*cry*) to get Cataclysmically Epic :p

Thanks all ^_^
worth mentioning that I got WoL ranked (#47 for Demo) with the Incinerate-filler build that came out of my 'all the options' thread. Those ranks are nothing special of course but the point is that this was a build that you'll never see on EJ but that doesn't mean it is actually a drop in DPS.

Reported the troll thread because it smelled of railbaron.
Aaaaaaaaaaaanyways: are you saying there's an incinerate build for demo asakawa? It's still slightly inferior according to your awesome thread.

This is a fine example of the reason I wanted to make that thread.
EJ is great for needling out the optimal (though the simCraft thread on EJ still uses a Succubus in its Demo profiles). They test slight differences and discard the Lesser in a continual refinement toward an ideal. However those discarded lesser options are sometimes (often times) no more than 50 dps off the triumphant Greater, a number so small as to be well within the margin for error in SimCraft.
A build that is a percent or so off optimal is a build that you won't see on EJ but that doesn't immediately make it an option not worth consideration. The Incinerate Demo build completely removes an entire nuke from your action bars and shifts a little to a greater emphasis on DoT damage which may not Sim better on patchwerks but could be stronger in real fights. On those real fights close enough to patchwerk for Sims to be accurate, it's still a mere percent or so off ideal.

I was actually thinking about Demonology with Incinerate as the primary nuke at times...
Ultimately didn't seem practical though (mana costs and the like)

There's no issue of practicality, particularly regarding mana since it really isn't an issue for Warlocks. With Mana Feed (and with the fix to Felhunter's mana return) there's no need to Life Tap at all under normal circumstances.

Not to mention it's slightly easier to play as well, since you don't have to switch from sbolt to Incinerate when MC procs ... but that's just a detail.

Woot! After 6 weeks of pulling in new raiders and people moving, my ten man is finally 11/12 :D
