Can never set it up perfectly, and that Aura I linked a few pages back left me unable to click a portion of my screen.
Going to try EnergyWatch for the rage bar.
Edit2: Sigh, I know WeakAuras is the way to go, so I'll stick with it... Just trying to figure out how to get it to yell at me when I'm above 60 rage. And how the fuck do I get it to not turn off the options menu every time I hit a target dummy?
Edit3: I think I've got what I needed.
fwiw you should unlock Draenor flying before you level alts anyway because once you have it unlocked you can level alts from 90-100 in like an hour or two without doing any quests. Very fast process thanks to treasures/bonus objectives and the 300% bonus xp elixir you can buy very cheaply on the AH.

I can't unlock Tanaan yet as I need to upgrade my Garrison. For now I'm just going to do all the zones for gold and currency.

If you're just hitting 100 now, you will have some humps to get over first with upgrading your garrison. That gold will help, a lot actually, once you buy the plans for all of the buildings and can upgrade them (trading post is purely gold costs I believe), you might want to look at grabbing five or six Frozen Arms if they're sitting at 500 gold or something you deem reasonable. Your only hurdle is probably going to be garrison resources.
You could try pitbull and class timers.
I've been researching something for the past couple weeks and it just dawned on me that some of you might be a big help
So I've been farming old raids for trinkets and gear lately to twink out timewalking dungeons. Basically getting SoO gemslot gear, along with the OP avenging wrath set bonus from the tier set.
But I've been having problems pinpointing the best healing trinkets to use. Any suggestions? Looking for something Cataclysm or later so I can use them for BC and Wrath timewalking.

I have Weakauras sorted now, I think. Deleting the premade collections and starting from scratch allowed me to put together something really simple but effective.
By the way, did anyone see the latest Wowhead Artifact video? Look what we're getting!
Ghost Iron Dragonling is a great trinket for engineers of all specs & classes.

I have to say I'm getting a bit burned out with this whole Garrison thing, I just want to do BGs, dungeons and LFR really on my Resto Shaman but I have to sod about so much before I can actually get to do what I want to do. I wish flying was just a 1000g licence or whatever.

It's boring, so boring, but once it's done you can passively earn a lot just logging in twice a day to click a few things.
Also if the garrison is burning you out this early, I wouldn't bother with the shipyard outside of the initial quests required to trigger Tanaan opening up.

For some reason I never thought about them filming within the actual cities. This is seriously awesome to see it made for real.

Shadowmoon Valley and what the Iron Horde does to the Draenei is a hell of a lot worse and darker than the blood feud between the Thunderlords and Frostwolves in Frostfire Ridge. The Draenei in Shadowmoon are being massacred.

So I have been doing Ashran all week and bought a bunch of PVP gear. My ilvl is 701 now.
A few items were either mastery/haste or crit/haste... so I had to get some haste (not a good stat for assassination). Other than those pieces, most of the pvp gear was mastery/crit which is perfect.
I was hitting the raider training dummy in org and I'm doing between 23-24k without using cooldowns.
Is this decent? I just installed recount so I really have no idea what other players DPS has been in raids.

Target dummy dps is misleading, and the numbers will be different spec-by-spec because some specs are reliant on execute phases and things like that which the dummies don't simulate.
Your best bet is to hop into lfr and see what kind of damage you can do on an actual boss mob. I'd expect 35-40k from a pvp geared sin rogue. You'll see people with lower ilevel do way more damage if they have pve set bonuses and trinkets.

That's true. No better time than the present to run through some LFR & see the true damage you can do.
Speaking of which, Arms is apparently really shit now... Makes me sad. I've always preferred it to Fury, but it might be time for me to make the switch, even if it's only for OS.

Arms is still really good but you have to cheese out all of the executes that you can. When you're just sitting there dpsing a boss it's depressing, but when an add pops up and you get a couple sweeping strikes executes on it at the end you shoot up in damage.
It's funny because when there are two arms wars in the same raid, they sort of screw each other out of damage by killing adds too quickly between 20% and 0, so they both get half as many executes off.

Yeah arms is my favorite but i could not stand to play it in Draenor the playstyle was trash

I did the 2nd to last HFC raid on LFR. I was doing about 33-35k on the bosses with buffs. Pretty low considering the top ten guys were like 40-70k dps.
I have all my stuff enchanted and I'm doing the exact rotation described on icy veins. Not sure what else I could do.
I don't use pots/flasks or runes maybe I need to do that.
Mythic dungeons drop what? ilvl 700 stuff?

Quality of weapons, trinkets, and whether or not you have set bonuses are huuuuuge factors. My 706 rogue with 695 weapons, pretty shitty trinkets and no set bonuses sims to a theoretical single target dps of ~44.5k. You're probably not doing too far behind your potential in the gear you're in.
Too much so, in my opinion. Some of the T18 (4) set bonuses are ridiculous.
Maybe I'll like them more once I get mine
Mythics drop 685 gear baseline, but can warforge roll all the way upto 725 (735 valor upgraded), which makes some mythic dungeon loot better than anything that drops in heroic HFC.
Definitely try find yourself a group.

I went from Horde-side puzzled to Alliance-side incredulous. I haven't even finished playing through Shadowmoon Valley, Grommash's "redemption" doesn't make any sense and is the most hackneyed thing in WoD's story, which is saying something.
This really does feel like it's the expansion made by interns.

As a wise man once said the shit apple doesn't fall far from the shit tree.
Edit: Holy crap I'm making stupid money for doing nothing but porting people around. It just paid for four building upgrades in my garrison. I may be a glorified taxi, but I am well-paid.
I wish I could find of video link of Jim Lahey saying that...it's just a crass way of saying like father, like son

FUCCKKKKKK Another week without Tyrant killed.
If it makes you feel any better, I used to sit around in Everquest and selling Spirit of the Wolf(a run speed buff) all day and made pretty much all my platinum doing just that
Lol, from where are you doing this? with basically two hearthstones now I don't know why people would want mage portals.
Maybe for Dalaran, though.
Edit: Well, maybe when you're Horde and haven't yet unlock the lvl 3 garrison.
lol...yup! Used to sit in PoK selling KEI (and Mage summoned pet weps) like no tomorrow. Was glorious.
Everyone should have main hearth set to shrine anyway.
I always assume everyone does, since it makes the most sense, but I've been proven wrong countless times. Weird.

Dalaran ports from Stormwind mostly.
I don't know how easy it is to get to Dalaran from Stormwind--I boosted this gnome mage from 64--but it's dead simple from Orgrimmar or Brill. One blimp ride and a flightpath and you're in Dalaran in like two minutes for virtually no gold.
I just do portals when I hop back to Stormwind to use the bank and AH. I have no set price and don't ask for tips. but in a few minutes and I've been walking away with a few thousand gold. Portals have been paying for my garrison upgrades. There's been a port to Shrine, a port to Theramore, mostly just Dalaran.
I am not complaining that more people don't have their hearth set to Shrine.
About as easy as Horde. You take a boat from Stormwind harbor which brings you to Borean Tundra. Then you take a fligthpath from there.
Arms is boring, but don't take that Noxxic dps ranking seriously. Stack ranking dps specs using sims is bad and not why people make sims.
Arms is very strong and amazing on fights with important execute phases. Particularly Tyrant Velhari
A better way to analyze a spec's performance would be to use Warcraft Logs, but even then it's not perfect. People tend to gravitate towards specs and talents that are decided as the best, even if the difference isn't that significant, and that plays into how specs rank.

I have my hearth stone set to Pandaria/Summers Rest on all my characters (even the non 100s) because it has portals to every city right there. Theres a tower to war spear inside the warcheifs tower in org, so its a q uick trip there if i ever need to go.

id like to see a villain faction. Its one of the things i loved about Warcraft 3. You would get to see the story unfold from multiple perspectives. Blizzard wouldnt need to make a permanent faction but instead one for every xpac. Say in TBC you would get access to Illidari, WotLK you would be Scourge, Iron Horde in WoD, etc. Each xpac villain faction would have its own classes so each xpac would have very different gameplay for them without introducing new classes and races for the main game. Some factions would be race and class (Mogu and Zandalari/Twilights Hammer cultist) while others the class gameplay would be baked into racial/species choice (crypt fiends, wraiths, and lichs all play differently). Tie it all up into progression with your main character by unlocking things on both sides by playing the other (first Garrison invasion happens when your Iron Horde character causes it to happen).
It will never happen but would be a great way to make each xpac really stand out while being able to fill in huge gaps in story ("who the fuck are all these instance/raid bosses?" would turn into "Oh, thats the lady i did quests with them on my Illidari").
Shadowmoon Valley kicks the shit out of Frostfall though aesthetic wise.
I think two moons has the most portals of any major city. All my characters hearths are set there. Makes running old raids for mounts easily accessible.
Can't remember the last time I went to Silvermoon... Maybe I leveled a BE twink during Cataclysm, but other than that, I'm drawing blank. Oh, and Cata ZA.
First TV spot for the movie. Looks better!

Considering there isnt even an Exodar portal in Stormshield either, i'm going to guess Blizzard figured nobody goes to these towns and said "fuck it".

Silvermoon and Exodar are so far out of the way and in their own instances, on top of that Darnassus and Undercity are better, more populated faction hubs to hearth to, it's not worth going back to either Silvermoon or Exodar once you have the faction bags. I don't get why people complain about Gnomeregan not being re-taken yet (not that anyone has in this thread). It's unnecessary to have another capital city when Ironforge is literally a minute away. You only need so many faction hubs for low level questing.
Just wrapped up Shadowmoon Valley's quest chain, I thought the end of Frostfire Ridge was epic, but the battle for the temple was on a whole other level. There's actually more lore to the Iron Horde in the Alliance starter zone than there is in the Horde one.

Back when I was still playing and my server was pretty busy I'd use SMC to get away from it all. This was mainly pre-Cata so it was better than the other horde cities layout wise but also almost completely dead. Since I was a Mage I also got good business porting alts to Ogrimmar.
I was a bit sad that it didn't get any upgrades during Cata and now three expansions later they still haven't changed it from the day it launched.
