We got it today. It seems awesome... probably too awesome not to get some kind of nerf in the future... enjoy it while it lasts.
I certainly forsee "have group will travel no longer works in battlegrounds/tol barad" hotfixes coming very soon.
On Tuesday, our guild reached 21 and decided to try it out and see how it works. Nothing beats catching a faction off guard. We had a rogue with the raid lead in two groups. First, one summonsed into the broken tusk; second, one summonsed into the hole in the wall in the front gate of org. The first group flagged everyone with the second group cleaning up. There was lots of back and forth, inside and outside of org... lasted about an hour and a half.

Stealth nerfed, can't be used in instances.
Sure, although in practice I think quite a lot of instances have things like doors that would make it difficult, this was certainly one of the nerfs I was expecting to see. Hell, we were using it to get from boss to boss inside BWD, avoiding the lift of death.... it was a bit silly really.
yeah thing is it kinda sucks like, our pala goes to BoT to summon, cant do it inside, goes outside to do it, then horde rape him and we end up in an epic 25 on 75 battle which we somehow win, i guess we were co-ordinating on vent better ( msot of use being active pvpers)
Watch me play SC2 ladder and enjoy the lolz
We had this for like five minutes before it was used on "The Elevator". I'm actually kind of happy that it can't be used in instances, although I've had to learn to not even be touching my mouse until I'm in the world and can see just how precarious a ledge I'm standing on.
How does a PC gamer change a light bulb? He doesn't. He goes on the forums and QQs about it being dark.
So I wonder... is Mass Resurrection going to see the same deal, or will they close off the "everyone die at the entrance while I sneak off to the last boss and rez everyone" predictable exploit now?Essentially it was being exploited to bring entire groups to the summoner, who would stealth past a few bosses, allowing the group to skip them. Guild perks should be just that, perks, and aren't intended to be game-changing mechanics. We would like to make it so that regardless of where the summoner is, the summonees are always summoned to the entrance of the dungeon, allowing this to still be very useful but avoiding that exploit-ability, but that will require further development.
We're also in the process of removing its use in Tol Barad while the battle is active.

I'm 28 year old Mommy of 2 fantastic kids that inspire and challenge me every single day! We currently are living in Oshkosh, WI and love everything about what God is doing in our lives. My love for scrapbooking lead me to the Cricut Machine and the wonderful world of online tutorials. AboveRubiesStudio was born when I started creating a Cricut Cutting Guide in 2008 and an educational DVD called Cricut A to Z which really dove me head first into this incredible world and online community. Since then my love for everything Cricut has expanded into me owning 13 different die-cutting machines and teaching classes and tutorials on a regular basis.
Besides scrapbooking, I love teaching and playing with my kids. I also love shopping, doesn't matter what for! Singing at the top of my lungs just about anywhere, home, car, craft room, just as long as I'm singing, especially along with Donny Osmond. I sincerely enjoy a wonderful Starbucks Latte while walking around my favorite crafting stores.

Frequently Bought Together

They've got a naughty reputation as the design duo behind the most insanely expensive bags ever! But now our favourite twinnies, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen have wisely decided that the likelihood of most young stylish ladies slashing a flat-deposit-amount of dollar on a backpack might be quite slim. Way slim.
While we've seen some seriously spenny backpacks and totes from their premium fashion line, The Row, going for a whopping £34,000, MK and Ash are now launching a line of handbags for their second line and firm Grazia Fashion Ed favourite, Elizabeth and James.
L-R The Row's £34,000 backpack and the Olsen's new Elizabeth And James offering
Anticipating a media flurry of speculation over the price of the leather arm-candy, Mary-Kate told WWD "We wanted the price point to be strong, the price point is below [Alexander] Wang and [Phillip] Lim but above Marc [Jacobs] and Tory [Burch]." We particularly enjoy that she uses a mixture of designers first and last names and presumes everyone knows who she's talking about! Ashley also butted in with a paricularly amazing nugget, "I love black, I love backpacks, too."
Wallets from the new leather goods line from Elizabeth and James
So what does that menacingly vague price description mean for us? Well, typically an Alexander Wang shoulder bag costs £700, while a Tory Burch one will set you back about £500. That leaves the new Elizabeth and James bag costing us anywhere between there! £600 for their lovely leather backpack? That sits much better with us than £34K thank you very much.

How many times have you heard this from someone who bought and installed his own home theater system: "I don't think I had any surprises, and no problems."
That's from 58-year-old homeowner and DIY-er Diego Betancourt of Ashland, Mass., whose 800 square feet of renovated basement space now includes a 13.5-by-16.5-foot home theater with two rows of seating, a 14-by-30-foot family room, a bar and a bathroom. (Click here to view a slideshow of construction and finished room photos).
Betancourt researched and bought all of his home theater equipment and cabling before the job even started. However this project did not come without some challenges, starting with the seating. "I wanted two rows of four, so I wouldn't have to break up couples, and I couldn't go any wider because I needed an aisle on one side of the theater," he says. "It took me awhile to find a manufacturer that could do a seating configuration that fit." Apollo had the seats and could do the configuration with loveseats in the middle.
With his layout drawn up, Betancourt hired general contractor Vin Gadoury of Custom Design and Construction in Blackstone, Mass., to construct the walls and move the air ducts and a gas pipe for the soffitted ceilings. Several supporting lally columns also had to be replaced with laminated beams.
Betancourt also worked closely with the electrician to make sure power outlets for the audio/video rack, projector and powered subwoofers were placed exactly where he wanted them. And once Gadoury's crew framed the room and the high-voltage wiring was in place, Betancourt ran the audio and video cabling himself, being sure to separate it from the high-voltage lines.
A 25-foot HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable was routed from the ceiling-mounted projector to the rack along a side wall, and Betancourt ran that and component cabling (just in case) inside a conduit pipe to make it easy for future upgrades. Fourteen- and 16-gauge audio cabling was run to the speaker locations, and plug-in outlets for audio connections were installed.Facebook and Twitter.

Jack Morris has just one year of eligibility remaining to be voted into the Hall of Fame by the writers. It is unlikely they will do so. (Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Considering Sparky Anderson's plaque was hoisted in 2000 at Cooperstown, N.Y., the 1984 world champion Tigers haven't thrown a complete shutout in cracking baseball's Hall of Fame.
But it's a curiosity unique to those skilled Tigers teams of the 1980s that Anderson, a manager, has been enshrined while none of his players has measured up.
Wednesday's tallies made it one more year in which Jack Morris and Alan Trammell failed to get the minimum 75 percent of votes necessary for Hall of Fame entry. Lou Whitaker missed a decade ago in getting even five percent of the vote required to earn another look from members of the Baseball Writers Association of America who handle each year's Hall of Fame vote.
Lance Parrish. Darrell Evans. Kirk Gibson. Willie Hernandez. Neither did they, in past years, get a serious look from voters who, at various times over the decades, have elected Ralph Kiner, Jim Rice, and Bruce Sutter.
"I don't know, I honestly just don't know," Parrish, the towering Tigers catcher from the team's 1980s heyday, was saying Wednesday, speaking about the Tigers as much as about an election that saw nobody win induction for 2013.
"As far as our guys, I think Jack should be in, and Tram should be in, and I think Lou should be given a lot more consideration, just to name three guys off the top of my head. If they're not in, they should be very near the top. And, personally, I think Jack should be in right now."
On the borderline
Speaking from southern California, where he was traveling with his wife, Arlyne, Parrish was as confused as some of his old teammates as to why the '84 Tigers have been that rare championship team minus a Hall of Fame player.
"When you look at those years, we had some good seasons, but we won only one world championship," Parrish said of the 1980s, when the Tigers led all of baseball in victories. "We had some good players, but probably nobody on our team would you automatically say: 'He's a definite Hall of Famer.'
"We have a lot of borderline guys who, depending upon the mood of the voters, might yet have a chance. But I still believe Jack should be in the Hall of Fame. I saw how he stacked up against the best pitchers in the game, and that's Hall of Fame stuff."
There were no disagreements from Tom Brookens and Dan Petry. Nor was there any deep outrage from players who, like Parrish, agree the 1984 world champions were the embodiment of a talented, cohesive gang that featured a balance of blue-chip performers more than it flaunted superstars.
"I don't know if I have an answer as to why Tigers players don't seem to warrant Hall of Fame votes," said Brookens, who played third base on Anderson's '80s teams and who is now the team's third-base coach. "Maybe we were just a good team with a team concept and no one feels that there were any Hall of Fame players there.
"I certainly believe Jack and Tram both are worthy of Cooperstown, just as I understand it's truly an elite group of guys in the Hall, and it needs to stay that way. But, sometimes, I think it almost becomes too elite — that some guys who deserve to be there are passed on."
Just one title
Petry is in line with his Tigers brethren. He pitched in the same starting rotation as Morris. He won a championship ring. He was part of a nucleus that arrived from 1979-80 and stoked Detroit's '80s baseball bonfire.
He is mystified. But in playing the devil's advocate, Petry also can acknowledge the difficulty in crashing Cooperstown.
"It's such a good question," he said, "but the only thing that jumps out at me is: Did people expect the Tigers to win more championships, all because we had guys like Jack, Tram, and Lou, who played together for so long? Lance, you can put him in there, too, and make a case for him and the Hall."
ESPN was in its infancy during the 1980s. Games were not regularly televised even on the Tigers network. There was no Internet. Sabermetrics that today guide many voters were obscure and even mistrusted.
And yet it's intriguing, if not bewildering: How could teams so good for so long have failed to place at least one man in baseball's eternal shrine?
"I just don't understand it," Parrish said, in that familiar soft-toned voice. "I don't get it."

Tearful Candice Glover deservedly wins 'American Idol' season 12
Kree Harrison or Candice Glover is about to be crowned the "American Idol" season 12 champion. I think it'll be Harrison based on her recent surge, even though I feel Glover is more deserving.
They're both excellent singers though, so this isn't one of those seasons where it's a travesty if someone doesn't win (paging Adam Lambert.)

Kree Harrison performs her second song on "American Idol," the one she'd sing if she wins -- "All Cried Out."
She's going to win this thing; she's compelling, song fits her voice like a glove and the emotion just pours through. You really feel like she's singing about her life, particularly after we found out both her parents died before she was 20. Another strong performance;...Read more »
Kree Harrison set up to soar, Candice Glover to flop on 'American Idol'
Candice Glover and Kree Harrison are fighting it out to be the next "American Idol," as a dramatic season 12 wraps up. They start with a song picked by the show's creator, Simon Fuller.
Harrison goes first, doing "Angel." It's an easy crowd-pleaser, fits nicely to her voice. If she wins this whole thing, she'll have Fuller to thank -- the chorus is heart-breaking, she slows...Read more »

Just fluff or seriously sexist?
A female minister wears a skimpy summer dress to address parliament and is heckled. The incident has sparked a debate about sexism in French politics. We also look at how tweets are fuelling rumours about events in Syria. That's Media Watch for this Thursday 19th July, 2012.

2005 Domaine Huet Vouvray Cuvee Constance
"Wildly complex scents of yellow peach, nectarine, orange marmalade and candied flowers, with complicating honey and mineral qualities. Lush but penetrating citrus and pit fruit flavors boast remarkable depth and show unlikely elegance, with zesty citrus notes adding lift and clarity to the dense fruit. Nervy lime and pear notes resonate on the ridiculously long finish, which eventually leaves traces of lime zest, singed orange and honey behind. Offers an uncanny blend of richness and vivacity; this will have no problem outliving anybody reading this review but it's also pretty remarkable to drink now."

Time flies when you are having fun! This fall has been a whirlwind of activity on all fronts. Business has picked up a lot with some exciting Chicago genealogy clients. The boys have been busy in school and activities. I'm writing a new book to be released by April on Kids Genealogy. And I'm still finishing the NGS Home Study Course and ProGen.
ProGen has been very challenging this fall. We have delved into Research. This means conducting research, writing a plan and report. The members of my group all presented differing research reports. I learned so much from their layout and information included. There is not just one way to write a research report.
January focuses on proof summaries. I need to figure out what I'll write mine on. I'll let you know how that goes. April concludes the ProGen Study Group for me. Seems like the time flew by!

Ed Bott
Office 365
Google Apps
Christopher Dawson
Best Argument: Office 365
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
Trust the most experienced
Ed Bott: Microsoft knows enterprise software. Its Exchange server will celebrate its 20th birthday next year, and during that time it has evolved impressively, knocking off some impressive competitors along the way. (Remember Lotus Notes? WordPerfect GroupWise?)
It was natural that Microsoft would move Exchange into the cloud, which they did in 2008. Office 365 is the successor to that service.
Microsoft Exchange has a big-company-only reputation. That might have been true five years ago, but not today. What impresses me most about Office 365 is how it delivers a powerful and sophisticated service in a package that scales from one-person shops all the way up to global enterprises.
Google has done a good job of scaling its free Gmail service into something that a lot of people love. But which company will I trust my business with? It's no contest: The one with the most experience wins.
Google Apps is a no-brainer
Chris Dawson: Google Apps was designed from the ground up to support business collaboration in the cloud. From the early days of integrating Writely and XL2Web with Gmail six years ago to the modern incarnation complete with full office suite capabilities, a marketplace of integrated third-party apps, and a variety of editions to support key verticals, Google Apps has always focused on enabling people to work together better online. In fact, although Google Apps works quite well as a standalone office suite and cloud storage medium, its native sharing and simultaneous editing features for documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawings for a single price in a 100% SaaS environment are where it really shines.
If your business is serious about collaboration and wants the fastest, easiest, least expensive way to get employees working together without any investments in on-premise software or hardware, Google Apps is a no-brainer.

Tobacco use is known as a major risk factor for oral and other cancers. All tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, and snuff, contain toxins (poisonous substances), carcinogens (cancer-causing agents), and nicotine (an addictive substance). Each tobacco product is linked to an increased risk for specific cancers:
Cigar smoking can also lead to tooth loss, jaw bone loss, and other periodontal diseases.
Although chewing tobacco and snuff are considered "smokeless" tobacco products, harmful chemicals including nicotine are ingested. More than 28 cancer-causing chemicals have been found in smokeless tobacco.
Chewing tobacco and snuff can cause cancer in the cheek, gums, and lips. Like a pipe, cancer often occurs where the tobacco is held in the mouth. Cancer caused by "smokeless" tobacco often begins as leukoplakia (a condition characterized by a whitish patch that develops inside the mouth or throat) or erythroplakia (a condition characterized by a red, raised patch that develops inside the mouth). Other problems associated with chewing tobacco and snuff include periodontal disease, tooth discoloration, and bad breath, among others.
Cigars became a trend in the 1990s, attracting the young and the old. Although perceived as less detrimental to one's health, cigars actually pose the same risk as cigarettes for oral cancer. Although many cigar smokers do not inhale, the risk for oral, throat, and esophageal cancers is the same as for cigarette smokers. Consider these facts:
The American Cancer Society and the American Lung Association offer the following tips to persons who use tobacco products and are trying to quit:

Michelle Basch,
WASHINGTON - Police want drivers to be extra careful when filling up the gas tank, especially in one local area.
"Keep your windows up, don't leave valuables in the car, don't leave your car running even if it's just for a second. That's all it takes," says D.C. police Fourth District Cmdr. Kimberly Missouri, who mentions that there's been a problem lately with both car thefts and thefts of items from inside cars.
Missouri says people being aware of their surroundings can help prevent the crimes.
"No one ever says, 'I saw the robbers coming, I saw them a block away, I saw them coming.' They always say, 'They just pounced upon me, I didn't get a chance to really see them.'"
Right across the District line, Lt. Liz Hattenburg is a deputy commander for Montgomery County Police in Silver Spring.
Hattenburg says in the last six-month period she's seen six car thefts, compared to three thefts during the same time the year before. Most other crimes are either down or the same.
"A lot of our issues in stolen vehicles are people filling up the gas tank. They don't want to turn their car off (because) it's nice and warm. Well, unfortunately, we've had some people standing there waiting, and as soon as you get out of your car to go pay the cashier they hop in and go with a nice warm full tank of gas and your car," Hattenberg says.
"Please, take the 30 seconds, turn your car off, lock it. It'll make it harder for them to steal items from your car including your purse," she adds. "We women are horrible with this, we leave our purse on the passenger seat."
Hattenburg says there was recently a rash of purse thefts from cars in the Takoma Park area, and police found a ring in Prince George's County where the stolen credit cards and IDs were being taken.
Both Hattenberg and Missouri spoke at a joint community meeting Monday night at Shepherd Park Elementary School in Northwest D.C.
The meeting was organized by D.C. Councilmember Muriel Bowser and Montgomery County Councilmember Valerie Ervin.

Very satisfied with purchase. Color a little lighter than expected but still worked out just fine.
Mini Blinds
By Scarlet Red
from Mount Vernon, WA
I bought 3 blinds and two were a breeze to install. The edges of the blinds slipped into a holder and we were done. The last one I bought they decided to send me a different style and it was difficult to install. It was a metal piece in back and the blind had to slide in then tighten down with a screw. We managed to do it but it is a two person job, and I also plan on buying more blinds from this company. The quality is very good and they do block the sun.

Free Shipping on most Blind OrdersMost blind orders include FREE Ground Shipping to your home or office in the contiguous United States. Some manufacturers charge an oversized freight charge per order (regardless of the number of blinds) on extra wide blinds because they must use a special delivery company. The width when oversized freight charges apply varies depending on the manufacturer (usually it is around 95 inches or wider) and the charge may be up to $75 per manufacturer per order. M & B and Levolor do not charge oversized freight. Shutters have a freight charge due to the weight of the product. Most blind orders ship within 3 to 5 business days. We do ship to Canada and all other countries. Please call us or send e-mail for applicable charges. Our manufacturers impose a handling fee per order depending on the type of product and order amount that is purchased. For Blind orders, the handling fee is $4.95 per order. You will only be charged one handling fee per order and if ordering blinds and wallpaper together the total handling fee will be determined by the wallpaper order total.
Next Day and 2nd Day AirAll orders can be shipped next day or 2nd day air for an additional charge. Selecting this shipping method does not speed up the manufacturing of your order. It only speeds up the delivery of your order once it leaves the warehouse. Next day and 2nd air day charges on our site are not applicable for Saturday or Sunday delivery. Additional charges will apply If you would like next day or 2nd day air specifically for Saturday or Sunday delivery (please call for price specifically for Saturday or Sunday delivery).

This suit gives plenty of support up top, with strong elastic under the breasts and lots of room in the build of the fabric. The straps are not likely to slip off one's shoulders while swimming and the suit will look equally good in and out of the water. The only negative is the leg hole elastic is too tight; I'm hoping this loosens when the suit is wet. This is a great suit for the 40-some mom who has a nice figure but doesn't want it to all hang out.
fits perfectly for size 12--looks like photo shown--great quality, good price
I am very pleased with my purchase, and use it at my swim club every other day.
Suit has Jantzen quality (very high) and fits. For us "over 40 gals" who don't want to wear what "they're" selling to us. This suit has nice lines and the stretch to prop up the breast and smooth out the tummy. With your own help, of course!
No surprises here. What you see is what you get. Great suit for active water activities - i.e., no riding up or see through parts. Nice support.
I am very pleased with the quality, size, and color of the swimsuit.
I usually order suits larger than street clothes especially in classic styles without long torso option, did so here and the fit was perfect. Wide straps easy on shoulders, they don't dig in. I bought this suit for indoor lap swimming and it looks so good I look forward to wearing it to the beach.
I needed a bathing suit for my healthclub. A functional suit. Other reviews specified good coverage for the over 40's mom. Unfortunately, I am self conscious about a slight tummy and this suit doesn't camoflage it. Certain suits with folds, tucks and contrasting panels will help my problem..This suit was too sheer for me. But...it was well-made, good chest support.

WASHINGTON - It's an understatement to say Monday's Inauguration Day public swearing-in ceremony takes a lot of planning.
Behind the scenes, one man has a very important job: logistics.
Senate Sergeant at Arms Terry Gainer says Inauguration Day is one of his biggest challenges.
One task Gainer says he needs to address is "how to get all the VIPs into the building and in position to start on time."
He says on the immediate inaugural platform, there are "about 1,500 people."
But these aren't just any people. They include Supreme Court justices, members of the House and Senate, former presidents and spouses and even foreign dignitaries.
And because of the VIPs, security is the top priority.
The Senate Committee on Rules and Administration spells out many of the initial mandates, but Gainer's office helps enforce them, he says.
Some of the tasks Gainer coordinates include parking logistics, military escorts and where military snipers might be needed.
Gainer says he is lucky in one aspect. He doesn't decide who sits next to whom.

Post subject: Fighting cloaked ships
As anyone reading the Battlegroup London posting in General Discussion will have noticed, I played against a Romulan fleet recently.
Wondering if anyone has any advice on best practice in fighting cloaked ships... and particularly about fighting groups of cloaked vessels.
Seems to me that by having to keep speed up against a plasma-armed foe, this already forces Federation ships to commit a large amount of their available power to movement just on the chance that a massive torpedo launch may occur. Given that it might also be necessary to pay for acceleration or a HET, this means there are even more limitations on energy. The ability to force energy expenditure on your adversary appears to be quite crucial in FC, and means that a Romulan fleet is off to a strong start.
And then while the Roms stay cloaked, it's really pretty hard to actually hit/damage them anyway.
How have people dealt with this?

Post subject: cloaked targets
I am no expert by far, but already I have learnd a few things to remember:
A cloaked ship cannot move fast, nor shoot.
You can outmanuevre them very easily. Stay out of launch arcs as much as possible.
Get on its "six" and stay there, but beware of their HET when they uncloak.
They have to phase in, an impulse during which you have to pound them with everything you can.
Drones can still track a uncloaked ship that later cloaks - reduced damage, yes, but a still-cloaked ship cannot do anything about the drone, other than take it on the shields. [In your game, they started cloaked so this is not but so helpful, but it is useful in other situations.]
Be ready to run (fast) when they are uncloaked. A slight angle, plus sideslips, plus normal turning is often enough to evade a plasma torpedo for long enough for it to me managable if it hits when you come back into fight. You do not need your HET if you are not heading straight into them.
Shooting plasma torpedos does not seem to have much chance of success, unless done en masse with several ships.
Just some thoughts... I hope others with more experience pitch in.

I must admit that I could have maneouvred better and perhaps managed to get into their six.
I was rather dimayed that I attacked a King Eagle from range 1 and 2 hexes with a battlecruiser, a command cruiser and two heavy cruisers whilst it was fading in... unfortunately with range adjustments that meant I was firing at 5 and 6 hexes and only half damage was applied. With a normal target it would have been vaporised, this thing survived and soaked up a significant percentage of my firepower.
I suppose the lesson learned here is don't waste too much on a fading ship! It was a disappointment - I'd brought my ships to a range of 1 hex while the Roms couldn't fire and at a time when I could easily zoom straight through the Rom line without taking any fire. I was expecting to vape one ship and be gone before the Roms had finished fading in.
Admittedly one photon volley missed completely, but it seems really hard to damage Rom ships even while in fade in/out.

Sounds like you were beaten by a rules misunderstanding, a fading in ship adds 4 to range BUT does not halve the damage (5P3b).

If you're playing Feds, use ships with plasma torpedoes (such as the BCF) when you can. Remember that you're allowed to use them as carronades, which do NOT suffer a range adjustment when firing at cloaked ships.

The Cloaking device is more of a novelty then anything else. It will really only work on any opponent one time and then it is pretty much useless. Just get behind the cloaked vessels and wait till impulse 8 to fire all your phasers and single turn arming weapons. Even in they de-cloak on 8 you will still be able to either overrun them or stay out of their plasma arc.

Thank you for that pokemon bit. Made my night! And now it is stuck in my head
This week:
0:17 - How can we get more people to tank/heal?
6:37 - Could we ever see faction-specific classes again?
12:02 - Are guild perks making being in a guild lose its meaning?
16:44 - Should 2H Enhance make a return?
23:13 - What new professions would you like to see?
28:45 - How do you feel about the 5.2 legendary chain?
33:58 - Is gearing up for PvE using PvP items working as intended?
41:23 - Are casual players forced to do too much to enjoy playing?
Thank you for that pokemon bit. Made my night! And now it is stuck in my head
Hmm first question made me chuckle.
How to get more people to tank and heal - I know, lets create harder content requiring pre-made groups that only 5% of players are interested in!
However there is an element of truth to it - there is a lack of content for tanks and healers and this reduces the numbers that are interested in investing in tank and heal gear sets.
The problem with tanking and healing as far as the bulk of players are concerned (the vast overwhelming majority at the casual end) is that you only tank and heal in RF which means that for the other 90% of your time you are sub-optimally geared.
These days the casual end of the game is based around daily quests and scenarios where your tank and heal gear acts as dead weight. I am on the verge of quitting healing and going for DPS gear in future. In the past I would have stayed as a healer because I'd be doing a lot of 5 mans - but Blizzard are ignoring them and due to the lucky coins I find that running dailies is the optimal VP capping path.
I see a problem with Blizzards new loot scheme though. What happens come the final tier when all the tanks and healers took DPS gear in 5.3? Loot specialisation could make matters worse...
I am an RF healer, I sure as hell am going to go for DPS gear when 5.3 comes as it is more useful than the healing gear. This will make a mockery of the already laughable ilevel restrictions when the tanks and healers are all playing in DPS gear. Yeah you can say that it doesn't matter in RF but I'd disagree. We are wiping left, right and centre and I am on 30%+ of heals. Groups do need the few good healers to be in proper heal gear.
Or will the final tier in RF be tuned from a tanking/healing perspective around tanks and healers wearing DPS gear? TBH it is about time they just bit the bullet and removed separate tank and heal gear entirely. For the vast overwhelming majority of players it no longer makes sense. These days it only makes sense in the niche Normal/HC raiding end of the spectrum.
Of course the new loot system will allow Normal and HC raiders to run RF for offspec gear but they are too small in number to have much of an impact on queues especially as they tend to run as partial or full guild groups in RF.
I don't think RF gear would be of much use to them anyway? Sure a Heroic raiding tank/healer could pick up some RF DPS gear. But will that be much use in their HC raids if they have to switch spec? Also are their far higher ilevel HC tank/heal gear sets as big of a drag when doing dailies as a poor RF raiders tank and heal set?
But lets say they do go to TOT RF to pick up some gear? What will happen? TOT RF is currently a hell hole so it will likely be two hours of wiping, 150g repair bill and all they get in return is a bag of 30g! They won't use their lucky coins in RF as they will save them for their main raids so really I think the pain of TOT RF combined with the poor odds of winning weak gear just doesn't make that attractive.
Blizzard should have allowed us to buy the previous tiers VP gear with JP if they want more tanks and healers in a game where the majority spend 90% of their time DPS'ing. That would work well in combination with the loot specialisation system.
The old valor gear definitely should have become justice gear, and that would have fixed quite a bit. They could have even reduced the ilvl of the old valor, now justice, gear so that nothing's over 480 so you can't gear for ToT in heroic dungeons so you still have to run tier 14. They did this with the old conquest, now honor, gear. I don't see why that move wouldn't have worked for pve.
Another thing about having the old gear still cost valor is that it's a valor trap currently. I always cringe when I hear friends say they bought the old stuff, when it takes no time to get to throne of thunder LFR and then buy the vastly better 522 pieces from the shado-pan assault.
Professions to add to Warcraft. Stonemason, Quarryman. Carpenter, Lumberjack. for Craft/Gathering complements. Both could be used for the suspected "Guild Hall" or "Farms" for players. Both professions could have "Hasty Fortification" buffs for sheltering raid/ battlefield casters. "Cornerstone/Kingpost" crafting to allow other toons to build/expand buildings. Heck you could have skills added to EVERY profession related to building materials if housing was added.....it would also be an gold sink...... Herbalism could gather thatch, Smithing could make hinges/shutters doors. Engineering could do fireplaces/siege engines. Leather and Tailor could do drapes, rugs, etc. Carpenter could build boats as a niche market.......
I would also argue that it is FASTER to do dungeons (assuming you have access to a good tank) to do 5 mans for PvP gear than it is to actually PvP for PvP gear. And if there is anything wrong in the world, THAT is what is wrong.
As far as crafting professions, I see no reason to even add another one. Crafting as it is in WoW is not something that is even worth while doing outside of your stat bonuses, imho. Why add another nothing to the game.
When healers can get DPS gear, you're going to see a lot of DPS half-assing it as LFR healers in order to avoid the long queues, and doing it in low-spirit DPS gear.
Blizzard has never taken professions seriously and, as a result, they are basically a joke. So why waste the time and effort adding another one?
TBH if that end up as an issue the lowest healer(s) will get kicked after the wipe, THough i'm not really sure how often it will be pinned down as a healing issue, as almost all the mechanics which required decent are kinda ignorable and most healers are just sniping each other in LFR.

There's main spec'd healers with healing gear that half-ass it in LFR and barely scoot by, I don't really see the difference between bad healers in healing gear and bad healers in dps gear is. It's LFR, there are always going to be bad players and between the determination buff or them getting kicked or perseverance the bosses will still die eventually. As long as they are ACTUALLY HEALING instead of queuing as healing then DPSing, I don't really care.

About the secrets issue:
Remember the rogue dagger pt2 quest? gather 333 of something, you could get between 4-9 from each boss iirc.
This worked pretty well, it gave randomness but youd still get it sooner or later. maybe lower the differency to 5-8 to make it a bit less luck dependant.
Gearing up for PvE with PvP gear:
Anyone who actually know what theyre talking about, knows that PvP gear is perfectly fine to use for PvE except some of the trinkets maybe. Some socketbonuses gives PvE stats btw, and even some of the setbonuses could be usefull in PvE, I actually think the holydin PvP set bonus got nerfed iirc, because it was too strong for PvE.
But it is kinda weird that this is the way to go.
Imo they shouldve made the old VP gear purchaseable with JP.
The only thing JP is worth is to convert it to HP and buy PvP gear.
Furthermore, only fools would "waste" their VP on old VP gear eventho it got its price reduced, its still a waste.
When you cant buy any more 522s, chances are high that you got 496+ in every slot, so even at this point the old VP gear would still be useless. So Im pretty sure old VP gear is just collecting dust at the vendors these days.
Its still worthwile to run T14 LFR imo, it drops alota gear + legendary quest items + VP, so its certainly a good way to gear up. Maybe they could add some JP and lesser charms in the "failbag" to make LFR even more lucrative (especially if you could buy 496s with JP).

Not quite half the itemization. PVP stats aren't considered as itemization for the ilvl budget. The mian problem is that is hard to get bits of an equivalent Ilvl; the top tier PVP gear is only 512, almost a whole tier behind the normal raid gear.
