WoW Insider Show Episode 76: All the bests

We had a really fun (and longer than usual) time on the WoW Insider Show this past week -- Turpster and Michael Sacco joined me to talk about all of the patch 3.1 class changes, from Druids to Death Knights, and we answered lots and lots of reader email, including what to do if your guild is too small to raid, whether to go PvP or PvE, and the lore and quests of the current endgame (or lack thereof, as the case may be).Lots of great chat in there about classes in general -- we were pretty one-topic-minded this week but we basically cover a state-of-the-game of class balance, and talk about what's up and what's down for each class in 3.1. And last but not least, we updated everyone on our big Facebook quest -- we've got over 3600 fans so far, and if we hit 4000, Turpster will premiere a new song on our show. And we had the winner of our Authenticator contest send us pictures of what Turpster sent to him -- find the full versions after the break below (and feel free to color/remix them as you see fit).
Was a lot of fun -- hopefully you'll enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. We'll see you next week.

Why is the Anti-Drug movement not using that picture? That would totally help keep people off drugs!

Itunes didn't upload the latest podcast... or is that just me?

Thank you for turning up your outbound volume, Mike! It was nice having you at the same volume as T, BRK, and Belfaire.

You really need to listen to the show live... the unofficial Pre-show, and the Official Post-Show make it a very fun saturday.
I personally liked how Mike was doing an impression of BRK... and then saw BRK in the chat, and invited him on the show... Was awesome...

I heartily approve of adding an extra "s" to any number of words. It's like a little extra special somethings... Yay, T!

Please format the drive that you store that "meat of the show" song on.

I wouldn't count on special ammo BRK. Blizz has acknowledged that random proc abilities are a poor mechanic and been actively removing them, such as with the rogue mace spec and (when they have a better alternative they say) blackout on priests. That plus the fact that any ability that is put on ammo working 100% of the time would be OP (no matter what it is) means it is probably not going to happen. Hunters can do a little bit of everything as it is anyways, not really needed.
/sigh @ 5/10 classes now have replenishment

Also wanted to point out that if your priest doesn't have spell power on their inner fire, it is because they just haven't learned the upper ranks yet, they only added it into the post-70 ranks. And yes BRK, "spell power" is in the character doll >.>
and PS
I put a curse on this show for working the wrong pronunciation of Fjord into my head. I'm starting to say Fah-Jord now instead of F-Yord and I feel like an idiot when I do it. My geography teacher worked too hard to have her efforts underminded by you, why, WHY?!?!
