@Kamilla_of_ET actually made and sent me a SAD MOOSE.
We obviously need a NAME for the #sadmoose! So please email us your suggestions at: podcast [at] blessingoffrost.com! We’ll take the top 5 or so suggestions this week and then put up a poll next week. You guys get to vote on his name! If your suggested name is the eventual winner, I’ll send you a $10 Blizzard Store pet. 🙂
And don’t forget, please send us your Cataclysm Bucket List ideas (things you want to do pre-MoP!) so we actually have a show next week. 😉

We want to hear from you! Tweets, emails and audio submissions (to podcast [at] blessingoffrost.com!) are all encouraged, letting us know what your pre-Mists of Pandaria goals are! We need to fill up General Chat with your submissions, so please do let us know what your goals are. 🙂

//This week, Majik and I finish up our talent overview for Priests, Rogues, Shaman, Warlocks and Warriors and talk a bit about the Ironman Challenge and a variety of other things.
The new Apotheosis recruitment video!
Dev Watercooler on stat changes in Mists of Pandaria.
Theck of Sacred Duty talks about the block changes. (It astounds me that we have brilliant people like Theck playing the same game as a random death knight who thinks they can best improve their character by wearing spellpower cloth.)
Mists of Pandaria Talent Calculator.
Remember, Apotheosis is recruiting! Warlocks, an enhancement shaman and a feral druid tank (must be comfortable doing kitty DPS!) especially, but we’ve recently opened up recruitment to all kinds of DPS, so please do check us out!

//Episode 53 is here and with it we look at talent options for Death Knights, Druids, Hunters, Mages and Paladins, with the other five classes coming next week. Note: we could be wrong about how cool any of this stuff is. We’re often wrong. Majik has been consistently wrong for nine years, for example.
@_Rades: GHOUL VOMIT (Vile Spew)
@buglamp: bearhugbearhugbearhugbearhugbearhugbearhugbearhugbearhugbearhugbearhug
@Achloryn: I’M TAKING UNHOLY BLIGHT FOREVER
@walkstweets: Boundless Conviction: Holy Power gets to get different than Combo Points! Hurray! Healing-wise, cooldowns are exciting between Void Shift (Priest), Vow (Priest) Ascendancy (Shaman), Healing Tide (Shaman)
@TiaOfET: excited for the surprises as I have no idea what to expect other then what @DuridJaymz gave away!!
@JoeEgo812: Anxious for losing Auras. Holy Avenger means I can use the Angry Man for AoE healing too.
Addons suggested by @oathblade/Nightwill:
Remember, Apotheosis of Eldre’Thalas is recruiting! Warlocks in particular, but we’d also look at a resto shaman, an enhancement shaman and other ranged DPS classes. We’re 4/8 HM in Dragon Soul and would love to see some apps!

//Our topic for this 52nd episode is rated battlegrounds! What are they all about? How many people can play at once? What are some good strategies and tips for your RBG group? Our guest this week is Merkavah, a raider in Apotheosis who has taken charge of the Apotheosis RBG team.
BattlegroundTargets – a basic enemy raid frame to show you names, roles and specs of the enemy’s team.
Healers Have to Die – an addon that points out enemy healers and also shows when your healers are in trouble.
DeadlyBossMods – an addon with many PVE functions, this will also show you timers for flag captures and the like in BGs and RBGs.
