After a longer than hoped for wait - why did the europe patch not go smoothly? - 2.4 has arrived.

I must say, first impressions are good. Due to various reasons I dps'ed (tank spec) with a guild group through normal, wiping a few times on Kael, until we had the moving thing right and losing the odd dps in other spots.

Easy for me i'm a paladin but god I was kinda nervous as he criticised me alot. Then I ran heroics for a player named sharise and had a few other top guilded players i.e. numen and unit people...Sharise is the...
