More baby celestials!

Now all we need is a Niuzao for this patch to add a baby of each of them.

Pets? Or perhaps something killed the celestials and they were reborn? Lol.

Also, MMO-Champion's forum users datamined the fact all of the Klaxxi Paragon names are listed in the Siege of Orgrimmar icons.

Suggesting that since he has Y'shaarj's power, it's quite possible they sided with Garrosh.

So, no one is concerned about Silencing Shot being MM only now?

So, BM is basically screwed for soloing?

It does look like it's based on that design dosn't it.. I've seen an illustration pretty similar but cant seem to find it now.

I just realized the Crazy Cat Lady achievement lists Aspect of Xuen.

That means... the baby celestial models are most likely battle pets. o_o

Man, they're really going out of their way to neuter hunters this expac aren't they.

Nerfing Stampede, buffing the most boring/universal skills in a vague attempt to make up for it, taking Silencing Shot away and giving it to the least-used spec, nerfing the BM 69 skill until it might as well be just for a bit of color instead of actually a potent ability like EVERY OTHER CLASS/SPEC'S 69 SKILL...

and what else? Locks get some more buffs. Looks like I might as well just give up on Greenbriar this time around and work on my lock.

Oh, and paladins get a fear now (if they talent for it). Can't wait to hear the QQ on that one.

Also, I WANT the Crazy Cat achievement, but it requires the spectral cub... which I can't, and am unlikely to be able to afford any time in the near future. This annoys me because I don't feel that being obliged to spend real money for a pet cheevo (that isn't a feat of strength or something) is appropriate.

someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

You only need 20 of the 24 listed. 3 are TCG (The Spectral Kitties and the Nightsaber Cub) and 1 is Blizzard Store (Cinder Kitten). You can get the achievement without any of them. I have 20/24 of those on live now. I have the Cinder Kitten though. The Aspect of Xuen is the 20th for people without any of those 4.

Yeah :) The patch notes say:
A new scenario: The Celestial Tournament. Its achievement is listed under Pet Battles.

Yeah, maybe it's in early stages and isn't properly flagged yet? Or maybe it's a scenario in the sense of the "loot" scenario, i.e. just a solo instance to place the pet battles in. Still seems odd, though.

It does look awesome. Maybe it'll be part of the Siege, but it also looks insane enough to be a new Brawler's boss.

My only criticism of the model is that it should have only one red eye... and it should slide back and forth ;)

I will only accept a red mono-eye for the scorpid tank if they paint it red and/or have it be driven by an orc wearing a mask

No Klaxxi nooooo.... well, I kinda figured I'd have to fight them eventually but not this soon :c

But now that you bring it up, it does make sense that they'd side with Garrosh if it means bringing back Y'shaarj or something.

Also dem pets are cute.

Looks like people REALLY jumped the gun.

The official PTR patch notes that just went up are lacking a severe amount of the datamined changes. Damage changes, I mean. :P
