The Elitest Armory is Dead UPDATED

The Solo MMO Player is sad to say that the Elitest Armory is dead.  With Cataclysm coming up, everything would have to be redone and Shadow doesn't plan to play the expansion.
http://elitistarmory.com/

It was a terrific site which the Solo MMO Player hates to say goodbye to.  I'l leave the link in Favorite Links for a while in case someone new takes on the responsibility of rebuilding this for Cataclysm.

UPDATE:  This site is supposed to do basically the same thing but the Solo MMO Player says it is clunkier to use.

Exploring Cataclysm in the Public Test Realm

With the 4.0.1 Patch available on the public test realm, folks willing to download the 16 gig file who aren't in the beta can explore Cataclysm's new classes and talents (but not any of the new quests or raids).  Blessing of Kings is looking at the paladin in the two links below.
