Is it? I don't know. I went to EJ and it sounded like they were saying "hey it's finally viable for PvE again" but then I read more and it was like "calculus IN YOUR FACE" and utterly nonhelpful.Scrow said:
The plan IS to eventually dual spec prot/arms for raiding/PvP, but just for now I'd like to do a little better in raids. Not a huge deal if I don't, but I'm almost always only doing HALF the DPS of the otherwise lowest DPSer.
Woop! Hit Level 68. Got about half my XP bar full from Borean Tundra quests tonight. If I keep playing like this I may be able to get Cata before christmas :lol :lol
But I've heard Howling Fjord is much more fun. How would an Alliance character get over there? I only knew how to get to BT cuz of the boat from Stormwind.

We just did 3 heroics in a row all doing 7k-ish. What's the problem?
I just spent an hour and 45 minutes in H GB, and we only got 2/4 down...ugh. Yes I know, my fault for not leaving sooner, but it was my first time in the dungeon, and I figured I didn't mind wiping to learn the fights. Long story short, the healer was awful. in almost every wipe, either he or the tank would be the first to die. I figured maybe he was undergeared, but he had almost full heroic gear on, must've been at least average ilvl340. I couldn't vote-kick him either, because it was 4 guildies and me.
Anyway, that's my rant. I just want to add bring back the 4.0.1 Blood Boil animation! People saying it was obstructive or annoying make no sense, it's a 1 second animation and it's not (exactly) spammable. This new weird yellow shockwave just makes no sense, the previous animation was perfect for a spell called "Blood Boil."

i think if i ever have to do heroic pugs i will make a new rule that whenever the group is formed i give them this disclaimer,Cyrillus said:
"Hey guys, I can only afford X time (reasonable amount of time to finish instance) to finish this heroic. If we go over that time I'll have to leave early. You can either kick me now or we can strive to get it done in that time."

It's taken me a very very long time to realize this, but I just now figured out that alterac valley is wow dota.

I miss the old AV that took hours upon hours upon hours.

Heck, AV often took multiple days on my server! That was just crazy.

Ugh. WoW was crashing so frequently that I did a couple of things (installing some combo updater [Mac here]) to resolve it. Among them, I removed my WTF and Cache folders. Reconfiguring my UI from scratch takes HOURS. And is really frustrating. I still have a few addons left to go too. Thankfully, almost all addons let you set profiles, so when I finish it once, it's pretty much done for all my characters. Except for grid, which I'll have to configure again for healing, but that doesn't take too long.

At least I'm not crashing anymore in the meantime.

I do too, the stalemate at the alliance bridge, or where you collected items to to bring in the riders and stuff. I remember being able to 3 man a tower with another rogue and druid and completely changing the tide of the battle.
Joining a game at night, then going to bed, going to work/school, finally coming home to play in AV only to see it was the same match... good times. It had a much more epic battle feel back then. Getting the windriders, the armored, mounted troops, and of course the rock and tree guys. So much fun.

Exactly, it was epic as shit, rescuing your wing commanders, and upgrading troops, and summoning the elementals. I stayed in one game for 11 hours straight at my friend's lan party. I wish Blizz would just put it back to normal, I miss it so much.notworksafe said:

Yeah, it's sad to think of how many people have never seen Ivus or Lokholar. Or even have never called for an air strike.

Arms was reasonably viable for PvE in Wrath. It wasn't doing Fury damage, but wasn't doing Frost mage damage either. If you like it, nothing wrong with speccing it.Twig said:
EJ seems very inactive for warriors. 119 Arms and 203 Fury replies are pathetic. I thought, "oh looks like everyone is in the Spreadsheet thread" . Nope, the last page has replies from October and November only.
Is there some other theorycrafting community that's kept on the down low or something?

Aaaand level 85.
I suppose I should go back and actually do some quests now. Leveled though Archaeology and Mining, though I did do all of Hyjal (was okay) and some quests in Vash'jir (thought it was awful).
Also www.tankspot.com is a good resource for all tanks and their DPS offspecs. They might have some info in their forums.

i gotta be honest, i'm guilty of standing in death auras too. there's so much shit flying around the screen it's sometimes difficult to discern if you're standing on something you shouldn't be. sometimes i'm not sure if i'm standing on a player's aura or an NPC one. i see numbers ticking off me in scrolling combat text, but i'm not always sure if that's because of some other AoE. this is especially true on fights i haven't done before or have only seldom done. by the time i realise it's because of where i'm standing i've taken a massive chunk of damage.markot said:
after a few attempts on the same fight, there's no excuse however. it should only take 2-3 attempts before you know what the expect; how and when you need to react.

Ugh, Horde never fucking wins pug BGs in my battlegroup. Maybe like 1 out of 6. It's so frustrating.
I have no clue why I said raids here when I really meant dungeons. I'm not even 85 yet! Thanks for the responses, though.Twig said:
I was actually Fury for DPS during wrath. It's fun running around with two big-ass weapons, but I wanted to try something different. Also, I just felt like I was terrible at the game in general when I tried to do anything as fury.
...Probably because I am terrible. D:
I'll check tankspot.com out.

I generally do okay on that front unless there's a goddamn death knight. ):

Leveling archaeology not going bad, so far I've found:
[Fossilized Hatchling]
[Druid and Priest Statue Set]
[Clockwork Gnome]
[Fossilized Raptor]
And these in the making:
[Highborne Soul Mirror]
[Chalice of the Mountain Kings]

The highborne soul mirror is what turned me off of archaeology. It projects an image of yourself. Woopee.

It's just a flavor item. I tend to think they'd be a bit more popular on an RP server as well.

I started getting them after 100 but have no idea if there's a base requirement. I almost dislike them as the higher fragment counts actually slow arch progression.
Me and my brother have been duo'ing since cata came out and are now up to Lv 38 and we're enjoying the game a lot. Only main problem we've come across is a complete lack of a community, doesn't help that we can't find a guild (Aggrammar EU) so it's pretty much just us. Any help on the guild side of things would be greatly appreciated.
Also another question, with regards to instances, should we be doing them as we go along and enter their level ranges or stick with the quest progression, we're quite enjoying the story and we already outlevel the zones pretty quickly as is.

I have a friend who is in love with archeology, I've yet to mess much with it though. As far as professions go, I'm kinda unhappy with Alchemy. They took away endless potions and there's one one iteration of the stone? I mean it looks nice for PvP, but then again the last thing I need in PvP is less mana. :lol
My first heroic: Grim Batol. Pug. I'm a disc priest at 329 avg item level. I wasn't the weakest link. We downed Throngus (zoned in there, their previous healer left after a wipe) with one DPS, the tank and I left alive, a matter of seconds before the wipe. Drahga was shockingly easy, no one died and we downed him first try. There was some hard as shit trash, but we didn't have any CC except for a hunter and their bombing run had been inconsistent.
On Erudax, however, the DPS simply couldn't down the two adds quickly enough to prevent the angry whelps from destroying our group. We wiped I think five times before the tank and I left.
