Just curious, note on "diseases dont stack", does this mean that only one deathknight in a raid would apply diseases or would all death knights diseases stack with each other?

Aswell, it doesnt comment on the disease caused by imp corpse explosion, if theres only 4 diseases, which one does that fall under??

You will be able to continue rated arena matches at level 70, but there will be no new gear rewards in this bracket. Only skirmishes will be available from levels 71-79 but then at level 80 the rated matches will be available again.

Odd, this would imply you could twink your lvl 70 with wotlk blues and enchants and continue playing rated games at 70. ?

this wouldn't be very good anyway since it has been stated several times that the gear you get from early northrend wont be as groundbreakingly imba as the first items in tbc was compared to the pretbc gear.

blue gear would be a fail in the arenas since i figure there will still be ppl staying around with their resiliance gear to pwn nubz. ofc, it might be good if you wanted to get a few points before moving past 70, since some ppl might be going arenas in green, although precious few.

Yeah, there isn't a huge jump like TBC; but there is a jump -- or rather, they're building on the end-game stats that are currently in TBC. A lot of "ignore armor", "haste" and higher damage output shit happening so far w/ quest items, etc. in Wrath. At least from what I've seen. *shrug*

You'll be able to use the new leg enchants, and other enchants on lvl 60+ gear at least.
The blue gear may not compare to S4 epics though.

The quote is rather vague though, leaves room for speculation.

Why would anyone even "want" to stay at lvl 70 indefinitely? Unless of course, they don't buy WotLK. But at least 95% of all players will, and you can hardly play much arena with the remaining 5%

I'd imagine they don't want to have to bother with removing all the vendors/system related to level 70 stuff. The only thing that Blizzard so far is removing from anything non-LK is Naxx, and that was only level 60.
