Oh yeah, I think we’ve got a nice variety to select from here. Thanks for your suggestions!

I play mainly healing classes/ranged dps, so I have setup my ui a certain way. Since recently I’ve been leveling my DK and yesterday I did my first dungeon as a melee dps. That’s when I realised that the center of my UI is ‘too crowded’ with information I usually use as a healer. In other words, as a melee dps I need the center of the ui to be free so I can see the fight better.

I had never realised this as a healer/ranged dps.

So the topic would be something like to analyse the different (information) needs of different roles and present a good layout / tips for every ‘role’ (in a generic sense, since everyone has their own preference in certain addons).

On a side note, did you have enough input on subjects?

In patch 3.3, Blizzard thought it wise to prevent druids from rolling on cloth, paladins from rolling on mail, leather, or cloth, shamans from rolling on cloth, etc. So, what’s the issue?

The issue is, there’s pretty big upgrades to be had along the way in cloth for these classes if they are speced for healing (and in the shaman’s case elemental as well). So, what happens when an item like this is presented as loot?

Most of the time, when you have and enchanter in the group, your party mates quickly hit the ‘disenchant’ button. There you are left with a ‘need’ button that’s labeled ‘you cannot roll’. The only thing you can do is hit the ‘greed’ button and hope, out of your 1/5 (20%) chance, that you save that item.. that item which is an upgrade to you… from becoming disenchant fodder.

I can find no fault in using cloth, especially when rolling unopposed, as a druid, paladin, or shaman when they are healers or casters. They don’t get hit that often and for the most part, if they do get hit, their type of armor isn’t going to save them. Restoration druids, holy paladins, restoration shamans, and elemental shamans just got told by Blizzard that they’re not allowed to get upgrades. That’s how I see this issue, how about you?

With 3.3 released recently, how are you going to deal with raiding ICC on your “main”, keeping your “alts” on par, and having enough time for school/family/friends/work/etc.

In relation to Cataclysm, if you could choose to redesign a certain zone / part of WoW. What would you like to redesign and why?

When the Lich King is killed, someone would need to take his place to stop the Scourge from destroying all living things. Would you be able to step up and take his place (whatever the costs) and what do you think would happen to you?

Best regards,
