[Jul. 18th, 2009|06:53 am] |
So the big controversial topic of the day was posted yesterday on MMOChamp
Link here
The writer is a dataminer who is apparently proud of the fact that they have never been wrong on something they've posted. They even went so far as to say they'd ".. run naked in the streets of Paris and post the video on the front page if I'm wrong." (edit: this is in no way knocking his credibility or abilities. Just providing background)
The post is about two Halloween masks found in the files. One a Goblin, the other Worgen. Personally, I think they are just what they look like. New masks. WoTLK was released just after Halloween and they've added things here and there for the other holidays to keep Northrend in play during them.
But they are saying it's proof that these two races will be playable in the next expansion, because they've never made masks of non player characters.
Personally, I disagree. Goblin models have always been able to wear player gear since Beta. Many model viewers gave you the ability to do this. And I think it's a bit of a stretch adding Worgen to the mix.
Opinions? |

| Warrior Q&A! |
[Jul. 17th, 2009|05:04 pm] |
Brace yourselves warriors! The Q&A is up for us!
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/warrior.html
What were your thoughts? I wasn't expecting much and it went about how I thought it would go but I was very happy to hear that they're not trying to make Arms and Fury exclusively PVP or PVE specs. As a raider that loves the Arms tree this bit of information was nice to hear.
I was however saddened by the lack of addressing our AOE tanking and how warrior tanking causes carpal tunnel because of HS spam. Now I don't think that our DPS is "fine" but it looks like Blizz is slowly bringing it up. Slowly.
All in all it's about how I thought it'd be, I do think a little too much time was spent on repeating the same things about stances and stats though. |

| Just an FYI |

Don't remember seeing this posted at any point, so..
Blizzard has an IPhone/IPod authenticator app for free. Search for it in your Itunes program. Only downside is having to merge your account with Battlenet. But it's Free!
Oh, and the Armory app is pretty nifty as well. Just wish you could use it off-line (for those of us with IPods) |

Is it just me, or do a LOT of people just not get Disc Priests? |

| wow install |
[Jul. 16th, 2009|10:24 pm] |
Hey guys, I just reinstalled today :( haha. I had to reinstall twice just bc the first time it didn't seem to install correctly, when I started playing after all the patches I went to storm peaks to do some dailies and wow crashed on me with some error code and I shrugged it off.
Now when I try to add addons, I have no wow interface folder. I typically manually installer, go to c drive, program files, wow, then click interface (w/e) but I get to the wow folder and nothing is inside of it!
Any idea of what could be up and my trend micro internet security pro just ran out, any recommendations on a solid anti virus/internet security along with someone that could clean it up and make it more efficient? |

| MemcacheD Update |
[Jul. 16th, 2009|02:17 pm] |
Just wanted to let everyone know, that a new version of MemcacheD has been released. We will be rolling this out to the memcache nodes during the week of July 20th to 24th. This should have very little impact on the stability of the website; however users may see a slight increase in load times as the cache is re-populated with entries.
The software has been tested and verified to be working just fine with the application; so we perceive this to be a very minimal risk in regards to updating, and the stability of the website.
Thanks...

I am trying to analyze the dps rotation of my feral druid cat form. I have a nearly maxed out feral tree (everything involving mangle and shred certainly). I know shred does more damage than mangle if the target both has a bleed effect, and the mangle effect. The trouble is, the bleed form rake for example (or rip), and the mangle effect don't actually last all that long.
The way I see an opening is
Mangle - Savage roar - rake - shred - shred (if I still have energy)
or
Rake - Savage roar - mangle - shred - shred (if I still have energy)
After that, I never seem to be able to keep both a bleed effect (usually rip at this point if it's a boss), and mangle up long enough to do a shred, let alone two.
I just recently considered the alternative though, which I've never done before. Do nothing until my energy is restored. All dps rotation calculations I've read never seem to comment on this tactic. They give dps for shred, dps for rake, for mangle, but no one ever seems to quite be able to capture total dps including energy regen.
I was just wondering how many people do this, wait for energy to go back to 100 before launching a new chain (assuming a reliable tank & spank scenario). |

so i'm aligned with the oracles. aimed at eventually sitting on an egg and getting my big sexy drake. but i'm still about 3k short of getting epic flight. does it scale up with your flight level? or will i just have it and not be able to use it until then. |

| Patch 3.2 Live? |
[Jul. 15th, 2009|07:30 pm] |
Just had a quick question:
Blizzard Updater just finished dl'ing the 3.2 patch and it didn't install. I've run this as an administrator, (yay Vista...pfft), and still nothing; WoW just loads as normal but is still running patch 3.1. Any ideas as to why and has anyone else gotten 3.2 to go live? |

| Heroic Hodir Hard Mode for DK's |
[Jul. 15th, 2009|09:10 am] |
If you're having trouble with this fight, I highly recommend a Deep Frost Build (17/51/3 or 20/51/0) for Death Knights, assuming your other 24 raiders don't need 13% more spell damage or 10% more attack power. I can link to a parse if requested after work, but my best results were with a Frost Spec (because of Frost Strike's benefit from Singe) after a few weeks of 51/0/20 tries and less than stellar Unholy attempts several weeks ago.
Three consecutive 45k Frost Strikes(topping out at 53k... probably from Unbreakable Armor, Fallen Crusader, and Greatness all being active at the same time) makes me happy in the pants. 26-30k Obliterates aren't shabby either. Yes, before anyone asks, I have Sigil of the Vengeful Heart.
We didn't get the kill though *cough* CASTERS NOT PULLING THEIR WEIGHT, WTF?! /HEAD DESK ... ZOMG UBERFAIL WARLOCKS/MAGES/BOOMKIN only getting 7-8k DPS?! F'n go stand in the light next to a fire, GAWD! *cough* Our best attempt so far is 14% when Hodir smashes the extra chest. |

| DPS meter question |
[Jul. 15th, 2009|06:19 am] |
| [ | mood |
| |  awake | ] |
Hey there!
Well I am looking for a good addon for me to track the dps of my main (BE mage). I tried Skada and it was ok but seemed to be a bit cumbersome and didn't report the correct numbers (showed I was hitting upwards of 4k, and I don't think that was right). If it matters, I was also planning on using the dps meter to assist my wife's shadow priest as well. We are more casual players but knowing our dps would help in the future i am sure. I can't access the armory from here, but if you look up Kaneka on Tichondrius you will find me. lol although I don't think it is needed for this.
anyway, thanks for any suggestions in advance! |
