So this isn't the patch that changes Divine Storm to not use Holy Power?

Yeah i remember reading last week (or was it 2 weeks ago?) how Blizzard were thinking of nerfing overall damage since it went too high with 4.0.1. Especially for low lvls. I personnally don't enjoy killing regular mobs of my lvl in 2 or 3 hits, even one shotting them sometimes.

I'd love that too but I still think it's coming out a week before the expansion. If it came out this Friday then a massive wave of QQ and bitching will occur on the forums with "ZOMG BLIZZURD! WTF NU MRE ZG MNTS! Y DINT YU GIV WRNING! CANCEL NOW PLX!"

It still amazes me that after like 4 years, people can't figure out the obvious strategic value Lumber Mill in AB has over the other four nodes.

Yes. Flight Master's License. It costs 250g.JoeMartin said:
Hear hear. Back when I was rolling around with premades, if we didn't cap LM and hold it for the entire time then something was wrong.Angry Grimace said:
Nowadays only a few Horde run up there to cap, then they run to Stables? Cmon. Just sit tight with your 3 people at LM and let them come to you whilst you alert your group as to who is running where.
HildyB said:
Cool, I will give them a call to see what's up.
It appears guild chat isn't working nor is it displaying a friend who has come online in the chat window, you hear the 'dong' but nothing is displayed :/
Edit - Looks like it's the gear score addon causing the problems, disabling fixed it.

I just love guarding / capping LM due to the sheer number of people I send flying off the node with Thunderstorm.
Pro tip : If you see a elemental shaman running head first at you and you're capping the flag ... they are most likely going to send you flying off the node. I also love doing it at the flag in EotS.

JC/Enchanting is a good combo. Mining/Herbalism isn't bad either, especially since you can now track both mining nodes and herbs on your minimap.
Also, where's J-Rzez? I feel like I should point today out as a patch day where the servers are actually up earlier than Blizz predicted.

It depends what your scale of profit is.Iadien said:
I'm wishing I had mining right now on my hunter. Stacks of Mithril still sell for like 20-30g and always will and I have almost no money :lol
notworksafe said:
I'm starting today, and rolling an alt first while waiting for Cataclysm. I'll probably pick 2 gathering professions on the alt.
When I played over a year ago, I used mining and blacksmithing to create myself gear and fund alchemy and enchanting on an alt. I made decent money doing that.

So what's the deal with the Custom Lag Tolerance thing? Do I set it to match my ping? Because it's auto-set to 400ms when I usually play at 100ms or lower.

I'm still really annoyed that I can't remove the clock on the mini map anymore. What the fuck.Palmer_v1 said:

Question about Disc Priest healing. I think I'm doing it wrong. Am I supposed to spec into smite healing and Evangelism? Sounds really dumb to me. Right now I'm just putting pw:s on tanks and pom and using Penance as my big heal. Occasionally using renew and oh shit flash heals on clothies. It's not very mana efficient at all, but I seem to be doing ok in the short run. Would love some help on the best way to do it while being mana efficient.

You CAN heal that way, but if you're just running heroics, just smiteheal so you can dps and heal at the same time.Jazzy Network said:
Mana efficiency comes from Smite/Atonement/Evangelism/Archangel. That mechanic alone transforms Disc from fairly crappy efficiency to among the best for healers. If you really, really don't want to Smite heal you could take advantage of the slight efficiency gains through Inner Focus/ Train of Thought. I think you'll really struggle to make that worthwhile in the typical 5-man, though.Jazzy Network said:
Although the actual heal from Smite will be nerfed in 4.0.3 (or in the case of the US, WAS nerfed), that's the core mana regen of disc priests at the moment. If you Archangel at five stacks of the buff you get from smiting, you'll regen 15% of your mana. That's a lot more than five smites' worth of mana.Evlar said:

It's under "Video" then "Advanced" in settings. I'm using mostly default UI myself, so yours may work differently.Alex said:
EDIT: Nevermind. I see what you were saying. I didn't have an issue with the UI myself. Just adjusted the slider and I was good to go.
Feeling a bit of nostalgia for WoW. While I don't think I'll be coming back for Cataclysm, my first time 1-60 in 8th grade still to this day stands out as the greatest gaming experience I've ever had. Exploring such a cohesive and massive world while making awesome online friends was simply amazing.
Not sure why I decided to post this, just felt like sharing :lol

I love LM, that's where I always head. The alliance rarely tries to fight for it, so I usually spent the whole match standing on tree stump, calling out incoming targets as they cross towards BS and Farm.
And yes, it always annoys me to see the people who stuck through the initial push at LM go running off to cap Stables like morons, usually before LM is done rolling over.
To me, AB is all about momentum; if you can break the initial push at the start of the match, they're rarely able to organize and recover since they're unbuffed, spawning at different times and possibly different locations. One guard at farm to ward off/call out Rogues and druids, everyone else split up and stand at GM, BS and LM nodes, and stand fast. If they're zerging towards a single node, you can usually pick up the ones they missed and then sneak in behind them to recap (since group-think outweighs leaving a guard behind). I've had matches where the alliance sticks together in a giant group, zerging single nodes, and we just keep rotating around the map with 3 or 4 at a time.
It always amazes me to see people cap a node, mount up, and race off, leaving me alone on defense... oh, and fighting in the roads... /facepalm.
It's strategic, but I argue that Blacksmith is more so. You can't see who is standing on LM or GM but you can see movement across the rest of the map. More important, you have a centrally located GY that improves your team's response time for offense and defense.Angry Grimace said:
Anyway, love AB simply because it's one of the few place in the game where Mind Vision has strategic value.
Upon first installing the last patch, up until this new patch became available, the progress bar on the launcher said "Applying non-critical updates. This will take some time." This message never went away and it's still there after installing the new patch. Is this normal?
You mean it's been there for weeks? No, that isn't normal.sykoex said:Upon first installing the last patch, up until this new patch became available, the progress bar on the launcher said "Applying non-critical updates.

nah it's fine dude. You did what many can't - they don't know when to stop, thus getting burned out, and suddenly start to think that ofcourse it's not them that is just tired of the game - no. the latest patch/change/nerf/buff/whatever killed all the fun.
Obviously thats bullshit. People just dont know when to move on. That's what so many of these f**king vanilla purists don't get. You can disagree about some changes and think they turn it into something worse for the game, but most likely, these people who feel this way are just getting closer to the threshold of having had enough of the gameplay mechanics, interface, controls, engine - and no content patch is going to fix that.
The difference is of course that other peoples favorite games - OOT, Half-Life, and so on, are not played for 2500 hours or more. Because WoW has no satisfying ending, the player is asked when to call it quits. many people get confused, and can't logically just realise it's them, not the game that has changed. The player has changed from being inexperienced and unaware about the wonders of the game, to being knowledged and a master of the game. Obviously everything is better in the beginning. the first time.
Many people just don't seem to realise this.
There are exceptions to the rule though, but for many annoying people I am convinced it holds true.

Dang you missed it! :lolJ-Rzez said:Was at work
Not a real patch though as if it were it'd run at least 3 hours later, but anyways, anytime that they manage to get the servers up earlier than usual regardless is a shocker.
Should we start taking bets now on how long 4.0.3a will go over the announced time?
