quests and instaes to gear up as a2009-05-03 00:00:00Hi Guys, Just hit 80 and farming quests and instaes to gear up as a tank, but for the moment I'm mostly having to OT or DPS in the guild runs as I'm not quite at the defap. I also do some normal instae tanking to get a feel for the DK tanking style. I've leveled and pretty mh stayed Unholy through out, but more and more I've noted that the pet dies fast in 's and my dps drops with it. So I started reading and playing around with the sps, and wanted someritique on this sp wowheadom?talent=j0...jdRhoVosx0x I'm aiming for a mixed bag. I'm not trying to minmax tanking or dps at the moment, but want ...
mentality, though =P Under2009-04-28 00:00:00I do agree with that mentality, though =P. Under normaliumstaes, I probably wouldn't, but this mentalityombined with the easyness of Naxx is what makes raiding boring for me at the moment. I'm getting outhealed on my targets by holy priests usingoH, druids using Wild Growth and paladins spamming Flash of Light on everything.

overhealing, even less so if2009-04-28 00:00:00I wouldn't worry about overhealing, even less so if no one is dying, or your group isn't wing. There are lots of reasons why someone would overheal (HOTs, AoE heals, lag, too many healers and not enough dmg taken by the group, people keen to get high on the healing meter, e..), and as long as no one dies, it's not big deal really. I usually overheal by about 15-25% as Holy, and I think that's pretty good. I also think it's better to be safe than sorry, even if that means overhealing. 70% is a bit mh, though. A dent ballpark would be 50%. An even better ballpark is...
if you had to deal with2010-02-21 00:00:00tually that is a goodthing, if you had to deal with thelass spif fights in SWP you would agree, but sie you haven't Ian see where you areoming from. That isn't a dig at your raiding experiee its just that by end ontent it was so bad in terms oflass spif fights that it was terrible, you bringing thelass not the player and it wasrap. Rogues are tually broken right now, the ones in my guild are easily pushing 5k dps and having to hold bk from fear of pulling aggro. They are also ne on the elementals on 3 drakes. You still want to balae a raid, melee range, e. Just more flexible.
AQ gates to be open on new realms2009-04-13 00:00:00In a discussion of new realm transfers opening up, we get this tidbit: from now on, new realms will be created with the AQ gates already open. What that means is, there will be no races on any newly created servers in the future to be the first to gain the Scarab Lord title, for one thing. Those servers will have no Scarab Lords until one transfers there, because it will be impossible to complete the quest chain necesssary for the title. It also means that if you missed the title on your original server but were going to try and transfer to pick it up,...
An artistic look at the Alliance Northrend flight points2009-04-13 00:00:00When Jackhammer of EU Frostwhisper first sent us this Alliance Northrend flight point gallery, I kind of shrugged it off. Flight points are the most traveled places in the game, by definition. Why would we be interested in something we see all the time. You take pictures on vacation, not at home. But after looking through it, I was struck by just how well-crafted these places are. From the Fizzcrank Airstrip to the heights of Icecrown, there's a lot of beauty to be found in these places as well, and not just on the back of a griffon.
It's a nice gallery, and it gives you a nice hint of just how varied Northrend is -- there are fires burning and flightmasters giving rides all over the continent, and by browsing through the pictures, you get a good look at what kinds of crevices the Alliance have inserted themselves into in Northrend. And if nothing else, it's some nice art to look through on a Saturday afternoon.
Whats the point in a mage?
Roll a warlock if you wanna be part of the crowd of easymode classes.
As far as talents go, mages are getting a much needed buff in the expansion.
If you're honestly only concerned about being powerful, roll a rogue or warrior.seems to me that you have yet t...
All Quiet on the Northern Front2009-04-13 00:00:00I wish there was more going on right now to gab about really. I mean sure we can find (and so I shall) topics to delve into but honestly as far as BREAKING NEWS there isnt much coming our way.
Im sure the next patch will be hitting the PTRs Soon? with the hunter nerfs and paladin buffs and other delightful treats (in upcoming posts), until then were stuck arguing the age old debates translated to Northrend. There is, however, one bit of news that has kept me overly intruiged and Im sure most of you are chopping at the bit for it. The Dual-spec system. Its planned to now not only save your talent builds but ...
Ads on the Official Forums2009-04-13 00:00:00Personally, I dont see what the big deal is really. I mean yeah I dont like having bad ads like the annoying buzzing or sound ones that start gabbing to you about this or that; but this is Blizzard. I mean seriously, you know theyre only going to promote their own products or their affiliates and if I have to see a hot gamer chick wearing a Warcraft shirt pushing J!NX inventory, well I think Ill survive.
I mean just look at this screenshot, its an ad for the comic books (which are rather good) and the new minis game (which is more for collectors in my opinion). How is this brutally harming you or anybody? How is this affect...
Activision loses money, Blizzard to release one marquee game per year2009-04-13 00:00:00Activision-Blizzard held a conference call for the press yesterday, and so there's all kinds of financial and release news floating around out there. The biggest news isn't necessarily Blizzard-related, but it does mean that our game's company is finally feeling the crunch a bit: Activision-Blizzard reported a loss of $72 million in the last quarter, and their outlook for the coming year fell short of analysts' expectations. Even though that sounds bad, it doesn't mean things are necessarily bad, though: Blizzard themselves added nearly a billion dollars to the total, so while A-B might not b...
