Now personally when i first saw the Troll forms I was a little put off but now that i think about it the only thing i was mad about was that there was no orange one despite them being tigers.

Take a Step Towards Awesome: 31 pt talents i wish existed












So I've often discussed my dislike for the current set of abilities given to hunters for spec choice though recent developments have changed that only slightly. Aimed Shot is no longer an excessively attractive option for PvP with the removal of the damage bonus from Camouflage and now its pretty much only useful to MM however Explosive Shot still trumps the other options, and Intimidation is still somewhat lacking for most situations aside from the extra CC. Still I think Wyvern Sting is a better choice for SV as a specialization bonus. It instill good use of CC early on for the spec with the best CC ability. In order to get the dot to tick, which teaches the most basic skill when it comes to crowd control, how not to break sheep. I'd also like to see a bit more endgame utility for Intimidation. Something along the lines of the Frost Mage's Deep Freeze it doesn't have to do damage but a maybe a buff to your pets next special attach or Kill Command (new old Kill Command is awesome by the way) so that it can be used in more places especially in boss fights. Even compared to Wyvern Sting, Intimidation feels kinda meh. STill the most Epic would be a Bestial Wrath, Chimera Shot, Explosive Shot and if we did that a new set of Top Tier talented abilities would be needed and I think I've come up with some pretty good ones.

Class Titles

So I've been watching cataclysm beta updates like a fat kid at the donut factory, and praying for a beta invite though I doubt I'll get the chance. Anyway the most recent build data-mined over at MMO-Champion revealed a number of new titles including my new goal for WoW
It Belongs in a Museum! - Find every rare artifact. Yes every one. Stop whining. Title Reward: Professor
I WILL be a professor which as of right now is currently > Loremaster + Seeker. Of course this got me thinking about titles. What if there were class titles? I think that'd be pretty awesome. First off they'd be tied to your spec and you'd unlock them with level achievements at 60, 70, 80, and 85, ie the class achievement would say rewards Class Title 1. By doing this you always have a title and it changes if you change spec. Of course they could only be one that you recieve at 80 or 85 if there aren't enough good options. For example Druids could have "- of the Wild" for Balance, "- of the Claw" for Feral, and "- of the Grove" for Resto. Hunter's could get "Beast Lord" for BM, "Dead-Eye" for MM, and "Subversive" for SV. It'd be a great way to emphasize the variation in spec's and could be useful in raid organizing, have people switch to class titles and so you know their current spec just by looking at them. I'll put up a post of possible titles for all the classes some time later this week.
