I sit on both sides of the fence here....

My main is a tauren prot warrior who is slowly gathering Ulduar kit. To him this change is minor, as these badges were available to him anyway.

My alts however, (only got 1 other 80 but 3 other toons in Northrend), are quite pleased by the prospect. They'll be able to get to raiding-capable levels of kit without the mammoth grind that my warrior had to do.

I can see what might have some poeple throwing toys out of their prams, but they need to realise that is exactly what they are doing.

Forgive me for paraphrasing here but I would assume the following:

1 - Your class will dictate which race you can switch to. For example if you were an Alliance warrior that would give you the choice of any Horde race except Blood Elves upon faction switch (as there is no such class for Belfs)

2 - Shame on you for wanting to stop being a Tauren. Beef-head meat-shields ftw!

3 - As mentioned above I'd guess it means no faction-specific achievements, titles or items can be transferred.

I'll be interested to see how this pans out, although personally for me I made the switch from Alliance to Horde about 3 years ago (re-rolled on another server), so I cant see me switching back

I'm guessing you've got a fairly 'ninja' PC. All settings at max? What resolution do you run at?

I recently spent a fair wedge on my box, and got myself a nice 32" Samsung flatscreen to play it all on. I really should be taking more screenies, cos looking at yours it shows what a good system can produce. Maybe I just spend too long vegitating in front of it to think of stuff like this :(

Out of interest, what exactly was this 'price you paid' for it?

I too love Naxx, but the fun really starts slipping away when you add the dreaded 'pug factor'. Now, dont get me wrong, I've grouped with some pretty awesome pug in my time, but in all honesty they are few and far between.

Patch: This isnt really a 'hard' fight, and its probably one of the easiest to tank (on the understanding the healers can keep up!). My biggest woes on Patch were when I first starting raiding Naxx, was designated to be the MT as at the time the other tank had waaaaaay more HP than me, but, being a prot warrior and him being an úber-kitted pally he out-threated me at the drop of the hat and our roles were switched within about 5 seconds of pulling. Fortunately we no longer have this issue and the guild run Patch fights we have a generally a doddle.

Either way, I can sympathise with your plight. Oh, and not to rub it in, but I got Last Laugh on my first Naxx 25 (outrolled the Pally and laughed heartily in Vent - PS: the Pally is also our guild leader, so the victory was even more sweet!)

Just got my mage 80 now as well. Looks like my guild have specifically planned an 'Alt Raid' night to Naxx this weekend where the more established players give up a little free time to help get some upgrades for those less fortunate.

Luckily I was given a definate spot as I *always* end up tanking so they decided it was only fair to give me the night off! :)

We had a similar scenario recently too. An old mate of mine joined our guild on his pally as on OT and we helped him through his first ever Naxx-10.

In all fairness to the guy he was raid def-capped before entering, with various player-crafted epics and the tanking weapon from the Argent tournament, but a lot of kit was kinda scraping the barrell.

Fortunately for him this was a guild run so few of us needed anything at all, ( least of all the tanking kit! /flex ) and he walked out of there with some shoulders and a nice new cloak to replace some of his blues.

Being a prot warrior myself I've had my fair share of experiences with different healers. Gotta agree that a tree is by far the most entertaining to watch, and on some boss fights their HoTs make life so much easier.

Close second for me would be a well geared shammy. We did a heroic DKT guild run for the daily last night with a shammy healer and completed the whole thing in just over 14 minutes. Awesome healing and no stopping to eat / drink.

All the above in mind however you are right that there are no 'bad' healing classes, just unskilled / poorly kitted players, but hey, everyone has to start somewhere, right?
