Daze the Mighty Warrior Tank walks around Dalaran , as He hears laughs from a group of Paladins tanks in the Inn. He knows thier snickers are against him. Daze stops, looks and sighs as he clenches his fist in anger . Beaten and pushed out of the public eyes this Warrior tank knows his day will come. He shield slams, heroic strikes but yet something is missing, Thunderclaps, Devastates, All his might but yet a void is hidden inside.
Meanwhile......
Laughs from the inside of Goldshire Inn can be heard for miles. The cheerful atmosphere can be felt from the Gates of Stormwind and to the valleys of Ironforge. The Lich King's fall has brought happiness to all.

Azeroth starts to shake....The ground crumbles......The sky turns to red and ashes start to fall from the sky.
Out in the distance a a massive explosion breaks the silence of the once peaceful lands.

The wind blows against the the Daze's face. He puts down his nogginfogger. The table he has been eating at starts to shake.Daze stands up, as an explosion outside knocks the him off of his feet to the back room. He Stands up and to run to the aid of his people. Outside a mighty roar can be heard. Deathwing emerges from the depths of Azeroth. The warrior equips his shield and prepares to charge. Something is different. Daze feels the power of lightning surgeing threw him. He runs and Jumps up as high as the eye can see, and coming down witht the force of a Tram. landing on the ground on top of Deathwing. He shield slams , devestates Thunderclaps the power of his rage leaves sparks on the ground that would kill a man . Deathwing strikes Daze. each blow making the warrior gain his vengeance. Getting more powerfull with each blow but....Daze is being damaged, Gashes and bruises cover his body . A new power can be felt. His wounds start to heal. His weakend body becoming new again. He battleshouts as he gains his new found power. Deathwing, aware of his new challenge flees in a hurry.

The true hero has returned.

His head held high, he walks past that same Inn and find the once snickering paladins. He approachesthem and rest his hand on one's shoulder. He leans down and smiles. "Who's OP now Bi***". He walks away a new man.


Ok now that is over i would like to explain that my warrior had me feeling down but the new changes in the talents and moves and thunderclap have more excited then ever to play my warrior. Paladins will be the thing of the ppast while my warrior Daze is alive. I cant wait to bring a new style to raids and show the public who is boss. Warriors FTW. ty for reading

I play a hunter and for the longest time, I was pushed away from him. I felt that my other characters were much easier and had a better feel to them with the variety they carry. The announcement of the changes in their class got me excited to see how well my hunter will fair with the new abilities and the focus system. I started with my hunter and will always consider him my main although I currently don't care to play him as much as my alts.

I'm looking forward to be level 85. Not to level to 85, that's just boring, but to be level 85. Feels like level 85 is the level to be, you know... you feel me?

Out of all the changes I look forward to the changes in tanking for the warrior the most.

I play WoW since it released and thus I was already tanking in good old classic times, when the ragebar was still something worthy to look at. During BC and LK the rage-generation was totally messed up and I saw myself having constantly at full rage at every second while I was tanking bosses in raids. The new rage generation system makes me hope that the warrior will become a more challenging tank again, since we will not have a set rotation while tanking, but rather a priority list which diffes based on the encounter.

Another bonus provided through the new rage generation system is basicly... the noobfilter. No offence at all, I help newbies as I get the opportunity to, but those whom just don't care about what they are doing are - in my opinion - not supposed to be able to tank. If one is interested in tanking as well as he/she is interested in the class of the warrior, he/she will learn how to tank and do it properly.

That much to my most expected change in Cataclysm, though I look forward to many other things as well :)

So long,
Astameth

I am very excited for the difficulty of the new raids in Cataclysm. Healers going oom if they spam too much, and tanks having to do a good rotation to hold threat. It is finally going to be a challenge again.

I am also excited for the new 31 point talent trees, which is a big change but should make it fun trying to come up with great specs.

I am most excited about The Barrens... the Cataclysm is sure to generate at least a year's worth of "Whoa what happened?" in general chat from the lowbes! The 3000 quests being added will be fun too!

I'm most excited about the 10 man raiding becoming big-boy raiding.

I've always enjoyed 10 man raiding more than 25 (never played in the 40 man days). I know it's an online multiplayer game, but 10 people is multi enough for me when it comes to raiding. You can be more selective of who you bring along, and I feel the strategies are much more in-depth in 10 man, you can have a much more cohesive team. Also, call me cynical but in a 25 man raid you have 15 extra people to do something wrong.

I know in Wrath you can see all the raid content playing 10 man only, but all the good gear comes from 25 mans, as do the real challenges, so it seems like you only get half the picture raiding 10 man only. Now that you get the same gear from 25 mans and Blizzard has announced they will be tuned to be the same difficulty, raiding 10s only will be perfectly plausible (not to mention the shared lockouts). The only sacrifice is getting gear a little bit more slowly in 10s than 25, but that's a sacrifice I'm quite willing to make to not have to deal with getting a team of 25 together.

I'm really excited about the new lore, and of course, I want to try the Goblin. Kezan looks amazing!

I'm looking forward mostly to the Hunter using focus instead of mana, i'm saving my second hunter just for that.

I first started playing WoW as a hunter back in classic when it took half a year to get to 60(or in my case 45), i eventually stopped playing as it was too much of a timesink without much accomplishment, a few months ago i got back in, leveled my hunter to 55 and got a DK on a different server my friend is on, with this new change i may finally get my hunter to 80. Or level a new hunter on my DK's server.

I am looking forward to leveling my already 80 and new toons to 85 and seeing the new areas as well as new raid. That is the first part, the second part is seeing all the new mobs that will be added and the new quests and seeing if any are linked to the Warcraft lore.

I think what I'm looking forward to the most would be the changes to the Zones of Azeroth. I'm looking forward to actually seeing Hyjal, but also really looking forward to the changes to the Barrens. As a place I once leveled years ago, it'll definitely be interesting to see how much is changed and see how much more interesting the area is.

I'm most excited about the Ret Paladin changes. I wanna see how much more OP Ret can get. I'm kinda excited about the Hunter changes too since BC aimed shot is back. Looking forward to the new low-level content since I'm gonna level a Worgen Druid. I'm a Lore nerd too so getting to see some of the story in the game early would be cool. Oh yea, my birthday is August 3rd too, so that key could be a present? ;]

First off, being able to fly around the "old world" and come flying in pew pew'ing horde in Crossroads with my 80 will be the BEST payback for when they would kill all my NPC for quest turn ins!! :p Then fly away in my horde killin glory...( don't hate!)

But really, I am excited to see how visually the game is going to change, getting sick with "alt-itis" and leveling all my lonely lvl 12 alts that have been collecting dust and NEVER having to VIPER my hunter during Lich King and causing my dps to be the lowest! :) ( hey as a girl playing a hunter, there is a LOTTA flack!)

In all honesty, its being able to experience Cata as a whole and getting re-revved about the game like the first time I ever played wow 4 1/2 years ago ( though I always love it). Though, as an adult the no-sleep is gonna kill me when this comes out but it will be ALL worth it :D Love, your fellow wow addict!

I myself am really excited about trying out the new talent trees cause face it we're doomed without talent specializations >.< I wanna see what advantages it has and at what points it could be improved, I want to try out the specs before I go into the live client to see what build would be best for what class etc.

I am looking forward to see how much change is going to take place in Azshara. It is one of my favorite zones in the game but in its current state it just feels unfinished. This is the area where the sundering of the world happened! Yet, there are only a handful of Horde quests (not sure about Alliance) that don't go into great depth as to what happened in this place. Azahara is a zone that seems to be the loneliest zone in all of Azeroth. I hope with Cata it will be a major quest hub for lower levels, making it come alive again. I wonder how many people know about the Ravencrest monument, or who Ravencrest was for that matter.

Also- Goblins. Goblins are pretty sweet and I can't wait to re-roll one.

Having been a raider and devoted WoW player for several years now, I find that I am excited to experience the raids and gear change/stat changes. I admit my curiosity is piqued. I also have 7 level 80's and many mid level toons so the existing areas and quests are becoming mundane. The opening of old world areas to flight and the underwater experiences have ignited enthusiasm where I had been wondering if I would be able to remain interested as I have very little left to discover. I look forward to the whole new experience Blizzard is offering through Cata. I can't wait to get my hands on a beta key and become a part of making this game even better for those who love it as much as I do, as well as the newcomers. PICK MEEE!!!! WTB Cata Beta Key KKthxbai

I'm excited to roll a male worgen and make him as fancy as possible.

Top hat, tuxedo wear, find an offhand item that looks like a cane.

Then I will proceed to stroll around Stormwind, occasionally dancing and howling, talking like a true fancy lad.

What I'm most excited about in Cataclysm is definitely the revamp to the game in general. Sure, old zones and such are getting some love, but this is the first true time the game has really been "amped" instead of just having newer and shinier stuff put on top of it. The new, shiny stuff is still going to be there, but the old zones, guild UI, heck, the UI in general is going to be touched up greatly and brought "up to date". I, like quite a few "old timers" have been with the game since release. Seeing the epic "feel" of epic items coming back (read that a while ago now...) and the talent tree getting trimmed actually makes me excited to see the changes.

Whether the changes are good or bad; I'll be waiting to see them!

What I am looking forward to the new expansion is the redesigned worlds being able to fly where I have leveled so many characters. also new and improved guild system making being with a guild a reward and also playing with friends. another thing i am going to love is the new raids and challenges that await. spending hours fighting a boss, learning it, and finally downing it! that is always fun and exciting :D 1 more thing is the new two playable races coming into the world that should be fun to see and experience. cant wait for worgen druid! haha :P well i hope this is what your looking for! thanks for letting me tell you why the new expansion will be so fun!!!

Im really excited about tanks having less stats to worry about, it was getting pretty rediculous! I'm also excited for relearning the warrior class, as I seem to be cursed with a dislike for all other classes lol. As always new gear is always a big part of it, leveling, and most of all raiding. I can't wait to see the scope of the raiding and if it is as challenging as the end of WoTLK was. So much to be excited about!

Me being Otis, a simple Elevator headman in the rotten Undercity, my thing to be looking forward to, is the remake of our old Elevator system. Im a simple man i am indeed and it lets my jaw drop every day (no pun intended sir) over how much people this deathmachine takes to their graves. Its a horrible thing indeed and i begged lady Sylvanas for some funds to repair atleast the rotten elevator ropes, which indeed lead to the jawbreaking speed this rollercoaster got, but she told me that shes hearing so much Laments this day that she can bearly keep this city together. So, this is why this Cataclysm thing gets me so pumped having a new elevator system in a fresh, rotten City.

I hope this story of a little soul will help your decision making process of which undeads get their keys to the city first, because i would love to visit this el-rottorado of my new elevators as soon as possible.

Thank you.
