Bitter and Salty – Episode 33 – Great Balls of Holy Fire
Posted by Bitter and SaltyMay 24
In the thirty-third World of Warcraft podcast episode, we ask if patch 5.3 will change our game and speculate on how the changes to leveling mining and herbalism will affect the market, we move forward with Loremaster and recap memorable moments from lower-level zones, we talk pet battles and match-up strategies, we reveal our favorite moments from the game for our thirty weeks of World of Warcraft, and we debate about whether or not healing is boring.
Bitter and Salty is brought to you weekly by Molsan and Sláinte.
Anything about Patch 5.3 Going to Change Your Game?
Molsan – Resuming alt-leveling in MoP zones
Sláinte – Ditto… and maybe more Pet Battles.
Patch 5.3 Changes to Mining and Herbalism
Professions
Herbalists of low skill can now pick herbs in Pandaria for a small amount of usable material. The yield an herbalist will be able to harvest from each node is determined by skill level.
Miners of low skill can now mine mineral deposits in Pandaria for a small amount of usable material. The yield a miner will be able to harvest from each node is determined by skill level.
Pre-MoP ore and herb prices going to go up!!
LOREmaster
Leveling hunter through Silverpine Forest has lead to interesting lore quests and cinematics.
Lady Sylvanas BAD ASS! Who knew Cata would bring some good things…
Has Mulgore changed? I probably don’t care to find out.
160 quests to go! Hillsbrad Foothills, Northern Stranglethorn and Cape of Stranglethorn.
Monksational Continues
Blasted Lands complete
Hellfire ramparting
Terokkar farming
Pet Battling
Ding 65!
Future of Pet Battles
From CM Crithto:
We’re looking to make further Pet Battles adjustments in a future patch (potentially 5.4), and your valuable feedback is needed!
Currently, in an Elemental vs. Mechanical matchup, Elementals gain both an attack bonus versus Mechanicals as well as a defensive bonus against Mechanical abilities. In order to help even the playing field a bit, we were mulling over some potential changes to damage types, and the families they would be weak against.
Here are some initial ideas that are being kicked around:
Mechanical abilities would deal less damage versus Critter (instead of Elemental)
Elemental abilities would deal less damage versus Dragonkin (instead of Critter)
Flying abilities would deal less damage versus Elemental (instead of Dragonkin)
And here is a second set of ideas we’re considering:
Undead abilities would deal less damage versus Elemental (instead of Aquatic)
Mechanical abilities would deal less damage versus Aquatic (instead of Elemental)
Your thoughts on these potential changes would be really helpful, so please take a moment to reply below and let us know what you think.

Saltyutations Chaps,
There’s been so many proud moments in this awesome game that it’s hard to pick a favourite. Getting down bosses like the Lich King after much hard work is certainly up there. So is hitting personal goals in gold making (5000g in vanilla from selling scopes!).
My runner up moment would have to be hitting level 70 on Ashayo – my first max level toon in the new and growing wonderful AIE guild. But nothing beats your first, and getting my first toon to 60 would have to be my proudest moment. It was a Night Elf Hunter (of course!) and apon dinging I spent the evening in Iron Forge shouting everyone stout dwarven ale and dancing with guild mates. I don’t think I even knew what raiding was at that point, so to me it seemed like I’d beat the game ; this was the ultimate achievement and goal. Sadly, now I know differently!
Keep up the awesome work!

Hey guys,
After listening to the last show, I wanted to explain why Mardge the mage is lazy and has no professions at her advanced level.
Mardge started life as a level booster for my warlock, Shirlea, when I was RAF dual boxing. She spent most fights sitting on her mount on /follow while Shirlea and her voidwalker fought all the mobs. I originally planned to delete Mardge, actually, but by the time I was done dual boxing, I had become a little attached to her. So instead of committing alticide, I moved her to Earthen Ring to be part of the Bitter and Salty guild. She has reformed her lazy ways, and she does do questing on her own now.
Also, my favorite outfit to wear while I play is… pajama pants and a t-shirt.
Happy 5.3!
