Argent Crusade
· Special Issue Legplates – solidly itemized tanking legs. The defense on them is a touch low considering that you’re aiming for 10 times that rating to hit the defense cap, but certainly for a level 78 tank (especially if you’re leveling from scratch and don’t have access to really awesome gear from before [...]

The Balance Druid post wasn’t an especially information-filled post, but mostly served as a reminder that even though the devs may not respond to your threads, they are paying attention.

AoE
Balance is also getting a boost to their AoE abilities, with three (two new) options.
Currently, Hurricane is the only AoE spell for druids, and when used with Barkskin, this channeled spell won’t be interrupted. Also, the damage reduction works nicely with Hurricane’s effect on attack speed (25% penalty).

RoleCraft: Who Wants To Live Forever?
Some time ago I found a forum post asking the question how do you handle the lack of permanent death in WoW? Why don’t PCs and NPCs really ‘die’ when ‘killed’? The general consensus by others who posted their answers in that thread was a logical and unsurprising “it’s magic!” [...]
