Cataclysm Preview: The Echo Isles
Blizzard has released a pretty awesome of preview of the
new
Echo Isles
(my favorite part of
Cataclysm
).
The new Troll starting area will be for levels 1-5, and you will initially tasked with protecting the local raptors and their hatchlings from the sorcery of a nearby sea witch, slaying beasts that prey on our fellow tribe members and assaulting the naga who have overrun part of the isle.
Also, it is during the
pre-launch
event for Cataclysm that we will have a first hand chance to help in the reclaiming of the area for the trolls new starting zone!
You can check out the official post after the break, and more screenshots on the

Cataclysm PvE Badge and PvP Point Changes
Blizzard just posted changes to the badge system in
Cataclysm
... they are going to become Hero and Valor points! Basically the PvP point system being applied to PvE raiding.
Hero Points
will be earned from most dungeons (much like
Emblema de Triunfo
) and
Valor Points
will be from high-tier raids (like
Emblema de Gelo
).
While there will be a maximum cap of Valor Points you can earn each week I personally think this could be one of the better changes to come to the badge/emblem/point system since the introduction of them in The Burning Crusade. So what does everyone think of the changes?
On the PvP side,
Conquest Points
will replace Arena Points as the complement to Honor Points. Personal rating requirements will also be removed from almost all items, including weapons.
You can read all the details in the original blue post, available after the break.

Cataclysm Raid Progression Refinements
Update:
Some clarifications have been added to the bottom of the post.
Another blue post from the blue world of blue Blizzardness descends from the skies - this time it's about how raid progression is going to work in
Cataclysm
.
10- and 25-man raids will share the same lockout.
10- and 25-man raids will share the same loot.
Heroic loot will be, like in Icecrown, just a buffed up version of the Normal loot.
The raid leader will be able to decide between 10-man and 25-man (possibly on a boss-to-boss basis), much like you can now choose between Normal and Heroic mode for a raid.
Since 25-man raids will drop the exact same items as 10-man, to promote people actually going to 25-man raiding, Blizzard is making 10-man encounters drop less loot per player (actual items, badges, gold...). In short, if you can get 25 people, you will get more out of the raid than if you were to go with 10.
Heroic mode for the bosses will be unlocked simply defeating a specific boss as few as (probably) 1-2 times. Limited attempts will likely go away completely, except for rare bosses (e.g. Algal

Cataclysm: Vashj'ir Preview
The Cataclysm updates are coming fast and furious now, with Blizzard releasing a preview of the
Sunken City of Vashj'ir!
Vashj'ir is a level 78-82 zone in Cataclysm, which will bring us to the very depths of the sea—and face to face with Queen Azshara herself! Prepare to fight on board ships and submarines (anyone else hoping to see giant turtles again?), and do battle with both the naga and...the vrykul?
You can find out more about the Sunken City of Vashj'ir on the official
Cataclysm preview website

Paladin Class Changes in Cataclysm
Edit:
The inevitable clarifications have been added!
And, fellow paladins, our preview has finally arrived! We are getting 3 new very juicy abilities, one of which (Guardian of Ancient Kings) varies in effect depending on your spec! New healing spell, with a possibility for another one, AoE Blind, Blessing of Might and Blessing of Wisdom becoming a single Blessing (as I suggested some time ago, I dare point out)... but other than those big things, Blizzard doesn't feel ready to provide us with more information.
There is a lot of "we'd like to...", but I'll leave those to you :)

The World of Warcraft Battle Plan
Blizzard has posted their
Battle Plan
on the official forums, and in it they talk about what we've already seen such as
Naxxramas
, to the Dungeon Finder tool and even dual specs. Then further on down they speak about the whole new
Santuário Rubi
raid encounter which is slated for sometime in the hopefully near future.
After that they look even further into the future and touch on subjects for the upcoming expansion
Cataclysm
like the two new races, the world changing, Operation Gnomeregan & Zalazane’s Fall, and all new hardware upgrades that are planned before the expansion.

Edit: Updates and clarifications at the end of the blog!
Zarhym just posted the 5th in the series of Cataclysm Class Previews, and which one does it happen to be? Our ever lovable (or hate-able) Death Knights!
Lots of changes in this one just like the rest, like a change to the current Rune System and the already discussed about change coming to Blood Tanking! What do all the Death Knights out there think of these changes?

Operation: Gnomeregan Imminent
High Tinker Mekkatorque has made an Azeroth Bulletin stating that
Operation: Gnomeregan
is imminent. He goes on to state in this announcement, "After all, Thermaplugg has eluded death for years to keep his reign over Gnomeregan; and with the fall of the Lich King, the last great threat to the citizens of Azeroth, the chance of any cataclysmic event taking place in the foreseeable future is less than 12.7%."
What does this mean for us? I personally think we will be seeing the retaking of Echo Isles and Gnomeregan in the very near future and hopefully with it will come the release of the new
Santuário Rubi
raid dungeon.
You can read the entire Azeroth Bulletin on the official
World of Warcraft
website.

Cataclysm: Blood is for Tank
Ghostcrawler just dropped a bomb on the
Death Knight
community—It seems Blizzard has aborted their "tri-tank" policy with death knights, and committed to a single "tanking spec" for Death Knights:
Blood.
The tree itself will contain some new abilities similar to
, and some more of the fun tanking talents from Frost and Unholy will be moved to Blood. Some of the more clunky mechanics like
will be changed, or even removed.
Check out the quote after the break to see the reasoning.

Changes to Dispels in Cataclysm
A slew of new information is coming out of Blizzard this week - this time it's about the change to
dispels
coming in
Cataclysm
. As it stands right now there are five different types of buffs and debuffs: curses, diseases, poisons, defensive magic, and offensive magic.
In Cataclysm, Blizzard plans to let all healers dispel three out of the five types of abilities, with one of them always being a defensive dispel. This will allow arena teams to be a little more open and will allow encounter designers to assume you will have a dispel magic. In addition to this the mana cost on all dispels will be significantly increased, this will cause people to "think" before they decide to cast instead of just spamming the button.
One last thing,
,
and
will be removed from the game.
With all this new info coming out we can only hope that an alpha or maybe even the beta may start in the near future. You can read the original post after the break.
