Boo, day off work today and the game's gonna be down from 10-12. Boooooooooooooo.
I have a pink haired gnome monk 
So far in my instances its been Pandarens. I saw a Draenai monk while I was leveling.
My Pandaren is a mage. I've never tried one!

I was pretty close to making a Dwarf or Gnome Monk, actually, but the Panda animations for it are just too good.
the gnome rapid punch is pretty cute!
Bonus points for a monk tanks or non Panda monks?
What's weird is I have yet to get a Mistweaver that does anything but spam the channel heal and the little fart cloud heals. Not one that uses Eminence.
Geez, I said I was sorry.
I broke down and re-upped my account. I have a hunter there named Yosimite now.
They better get used to doing damage now, the biggest heal you have is a successful Touch of Death strike. The higher end spells also revolve around healing through DPS.It's obviously how they were meant to be played.
Yeah, that's why it confuses me. Did a couple more dungeons today and still, not a one in melee DPSing. Every single one sits back and slings spells.
Urgh... I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on renewing my account and grabbing the expansion. Is this going to be the primary HF guild now? I dropped out of Panda Attack due to inaction, and the guild was the only thing keeping me on their forums. Having it the other way 'round may encourage me to stick with the game a bit more. Maybe now I can get those 80s that have languished the last year through Cat and beyond...
I can see in instances where there will be heavy damage if you stay near the tank, but for instance, bosses with adds are actually GOOD for a monk healer as opposed to other squishies. You can attack and heal. There's a reason that your spell power adds to your melee damage and your spirit adds to your hit percentage.
I maxed my enchanting this morning The ring enchantments are self only, but otherwise, please let me know if you'd like anything enchanted!

I installed starter accounts for both my wife and I last night so we will be on sporadically poking around seeing what's up. I haven't played since before the first expansion though so I probably won't even know what the hell I'm doing anymore.
LOL... well... looks like I'm screwed then
This is more of an experiment to see if my wife finds the game interesting or not. She keeps seeing the mist of panderia commercials and is all like "isn't that the game you used to play? It looks neat... I want to try it."
I have a feeling I'll be even more annoyed by things now than I was back in the day when I quit.

You never know, maybe the changes will improve the experience for you. You have to worry about a lot less and can not focus on just leveling. Trainers no longer teach skills, you just learn them on the fly. Spec is what defines role, and you no longer need to read up on talent builds. Then every 15 levels you get a new talent which, based on what you pick, can drastically change how you play.
Some of that sounds good... but I suspect that the thing I loved the most is still dead/non-existant anymore.
I mean... I played right from release to just before... um... Burning Crusade I think was the first expansion? I had a retribution paladin (which by the way at the time was probably the shittiest build ever but I didn't care). I played on a PVP server and had an absolute blast fighting the horde at every turn (this was before the horde got paladins, which is a sin I don't think I can ever fully forgive. The animosity between horde shamans and alliance paladins was awesome!). I remember giant random battles in booty bay, boarding the zepplins and fighting hordlings until they brought backup to repulse me from the damn thing, storming cities and killing the main named NPC characters and defending alliance settlements and lowbies from ganking high levelers. Sadly all that stuff disappeared right before I quit as they dumb down everything on the server I was on. I mean... it was a PVP server for cripes sakes. I remember them boosting the guards so they would outnumber the hell out of you, stunlock you so you couldn't move and then slaughter you in a few hits. They made changes to open area pvp... just lots of little things that bugged the hell out of me... but the final straw was the MASSIVE time commitement to raid and get purple epics (remember 40 man molten core runs? They were hell). I suspect some of these things have been remedied... but I doubt I'll ever recapture the amusment I had back in the early days.

Well as Frank made it clear, most leveling servers, more so PVP ones, have been extremely busy due to CRZ. You will likely get ganked a lot, but you will also see a lot more players of the opposite faction around.
When it comes to time commitment. It's more then WOTLK, but much less then vanilla or BC. If that was an issue you shouldn't have it as much now. They also brought back world bosses, meaning guilds will be fighting for world boss kills again, if you liked that.

Was that when the opposing faction basically took over a town and held it as long as they could? It could be annoying as hell... but I always had fun trying to get them out (and if it was hopeless I would just adventure elsewhere).
Ganking and being ganked was a way of life back in the day on a PvP server... I loved it. I think the problem now is that a really high level character will slaughter lower levels in nearly one or two hits. I remember that when I was around level 40 my friends and I would constantly get attacked by level 60's but we still had a chance because we outnumbered them 3 to 1. It doesn't sound like it scales that well anymore (from what I've heard).
Good to hear that the time commitment is less. I really REALLY hated trying to do Molten Core with 40 people.
This is also nice to hear. I had total crap items when I quit. I hadn't even put together a full set of Lightforge armor lol. I was using a bloody arcanite champion as my main weapon for crying out loud!Also you get gear for PvP from doing PvP related things, and not grinding for months on end and having to basically forgo living to get to grand marshall.
