While it's still a while before the newest WoW expansion, Mists of Pandaria is released, it's not too early to be getting excited about all the new incoming changes to the game.
Some of the most obvious highlights are the addition of a new race, Pandaren, which look like big fat pandas. Some of racial traits for this race are really neat:
Epicurean: Increases the stat benefits from food by 100%
Gourmand: Cooking skill increased by 15
Inner Peace: Your rested experience bonus lasts twice as long.
Bouncy: You take 50% less falling damage.
Quaking Palm: You touch a secret pressure point on an enemy target, putting it to sleep for 3 seconds.
There is also a new class, the Monk, which is capable of damage, defense, and healing. It can wear cloth and leather armor, uses fist weapons, one-handed axes, one-handed maces, one-handed swords, polearms, and staves.
Challenge Modes are being implemented, which allow your group to select challenges, like racing to beat the instance as fast as possible. In these modes your gear is stabilized and you earn medals for how well your group does.
The new Pet Battle System provides a place for vanity pets to duel other players' vanity pets. As they win duels the pets gain experience and can level up, unlocking new strength and abilities. You can also now capture vanity pets as you encounter them in the world and you can even visit a trainer to train them new skills.
The Monk Class was going to
The Monk Class was going to be my first pick but I remembered how everyone was a Death Knight and it took some of the fun out of it for me personally. I'm looking forward to the Challenge Modes because it's fun to push your dungeon groups to the limit and test your full Tanking, Healing, or DPSing ability Ie: [Dungeon Reset] in 15:00 mins, "Tank chain Pull! Chain pull! I'm holding down heals! Moar DOTS!"
I'm really looking forward to
I'm really looking forward to playing with 8 year olds, especially the ones who only came b/c they think pandas are cute. I can't wait to hop in a raid with kids who tank in green or pvp gear, and just waste my time trying to replace them. Ohh, the countless wipes ill have. How can i expect them to move harmoniously with a fight if they 4th grade teacher can barely get them to find their seats?
I'm most excited for the new
I'm most excited for the new zones. They are supposed to be huge. The lore, architect and new models is going to be really exciting to explore. I hope Blizzard makes level 85-90 more challenging. I'm really happy they aren't letting us fly around on mounts right away like they did in Cataclysm.
