This screenshot pretty much sums up my Children’s Week battleground experience:

Whoever thought it was a good idea to encourage carebear retards into battlegrounds in the name of nerd points needs to be thrown in shark-infested water and shot repeatedly. If the sharks happen to have swine flu, I won’t complain.

EDIT: The WowInsider Commentary is pretty spot on, IMO.

EDIT2: And Scott Jennings says it even more eloquently.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

Blind (Rogue) is now in the same diminishing returns category as Fear effects, but no longer shares diminishing returns with Cyclone (Druid).

Dresorull has posted patch notes for the upcoming changes in 3.1.2, there’s some minor rebalancing of priests and destruction warlocks.

Penance cooldown is going back up, maim is an actual stun (maybe?) and innervate is getting a pretty decent PvP buff. Most importantly from a rogue POV, they’re removing spammable blood boil!

I mentioned in my last post about paladin glyphs that using Glyph of Turn Evil was basically a metagame choice. Since then, I’ve seen maybe two death knights in arena, and not many more warlocks, so I think it’s time to retire it in favor of something more exciting.

So, as usual, it may be educational to see what everyone else is doing…

(Reckoning 2v2, top 200 teams)

Today I’m defining “holy paladins” as paladins who have holy shock and at least one point in unyielding faith which should hopefully narrow it down to PvP healing specs only. I’m not going to worry about deep prot healing specs, at least… not yet.

Here’s the same chart run against the infamous Bloodlust battlegroup:

Note that the top 200 teams actually goes right down to about 2k rating at the moment, so a lot of these people are probably not superstars.
