SatelliteOfLove said:Ie sigh...if only stealthers wouldn't go apefuckingshit ganking when they had their cooldowns and instead grouped up in deadly commando units to take and hold towers. Can you imagine that first poor schmuck to waltz in and eat triple Ambush? That sorta thing. That makes me kinda wanna play my guildmate's old Rogue main in there now; he don't use the account as anything other than a pair of AH mules anyways.

border said:Just put another major burn on the Allies in AV -- 606 Bonus Honor for us, 0 Honor for them :lol How you can go the whole game and not even kill Galv is beyond me.....maybe because some douchebag capped Snowfall again and forced them into a turtle. Only a 30 minute match though....probably not the best honor/hour, but like I said I'd rather murder them then get stuck on some treadmill of quick losses merely justified by a quick honor/hour rate.
And with that victory, I have 73899 Honor -- more than enough to buy my warrior the whole Gladiator armor set, plus the PVP throwing weapon.
What should I do for a weapon? I have Thunder, but it seems like Mace Spec took a huge nerf. Most proc nerfs are almost undetectable, but this spec went from proc'ing frequently to barely proc'ing at all! Should I save up for the Gladiator Sword, or just switch to being a Swordsmith for my Lionheart Blade? Or is Mace Spec still worth it? I doubt I'll be bothered enough to collect the Nethers for Deep Thunder or Lionheart Champion....
firex said:lionheart is like the worst crafted epic I have seen. even the epic gun from engineering is at least useful for a tank or a warrior/rogue who just needs a good ~300 extra HP. I don't get how they screwed up swordsmithing so much in tbc, although at least they made macesmith a lot better.
maybe there's a good dw sword set from swordsmithing, but I kinda doubt it.
Really? Can you tell the difference between the spec proc and the weapon's proc?yacobod said:im using skillherald, mace spec seems to be about the same
border said:When the servers re-open today, do I have to go out to Netherstorm to pick up my Gladiator armor, or will they be selling it in the Hall of Legends?
Really? Can you tell the difference between the spec proc and the weapon's proc?
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like I'm getting way less stuns off than I used to. If it's only a 2% change then that's nice, but it certainly doesn't feel like it's proc'ing 9% of the time.
border said:I wish Blizzard would explain why a PVP cape requires such a ridiculous number of badges (which can only be acquired in PVE)......as much as I 'd like it, I can't be hassled to run 20 heroics just for a moderate upgrade to the Honor-based cape. Instead of forcing me to run dungeons again and again, how about giving them as rewards for Halaa/Auchindoun PVP?
Any indication how popular the new PVP trinket is going to be? No resilience on it, but I guess the +1750HP will be good for clutch situations.
border said:Why should I run Karazahn to get a PVP item? It's retarded.
AV typically does not display weekend bonus honor on the endgame scoreboard, but the extra points get added to your total. 650-700 is probably the most you can get....that's assuming you lose no towers, no generals, destroy all their towers and kill all their generals.
border said:Badges drop in Zul'Aman too, and while I'd like to run it my warrior isn't really geared for it.
BigJonsson said:So how much does WoW cost per month?
border said:Server is back up but the vendor for honor gear is totally mobbed -- is there any way to talk to them without clicking on them? Like a command or something? It might be at least a day before the crowds disperse :lol
border said:You can target the vendor's name, but once you have them targeted there is no way to talk.
You have to do a Ctrl+V to display the names of everyone in the vicinity, then right-click on their name (which will be jumping all over the place with 100 people mobbing the 1 vendor).
I managed to get my stuff eventually -- all my stats (except resilience) actually took a bit of a hit as compared to my blue gear and crafted stuff.....maybe things will be brighter once everything is socketed and enchanted. I'm kicking myself for not stocking up on gems before S3 started.
So now that I have some semi-serious PVP gear, is it better for a warrior to stress strength or crit, when adding gems? What's the preferred PVP metagem?
border said:Yeah, I think a while back you said the goal was 1600AP/30%crit/11K HP with around 300-400 resilience.
Right now I am sitting at 1358 AP....28.6% crit (in Berzerker).....11.2K HP......314 resilience (-8% crit chance). Still have a few slots and enchantments to fill.
So yeah, I guess no more stamina enchants.....mostly need to stress Strength and a little crit. Is Resilience to chest worth it, or just stick with +150HP?
MrToughPants said:I had a little over 55,000 honor with my 69 rogue so I picked up the season 1 MH + OH maces and the Vindicator's belt. I made about 2000 honor in 10 minutes with an AV win + daily today :lol
IzumiK said:Umm that's quite impossible. Max I got with an AV win with 500+ reinforcements, galv, and all towers saved was 1300.
And not to mention that taking a bunker takes 4 minutes, I doubt you soloed Dun Balder/Frostwolf's base towers in 6 minutes and killed 100 or so leftover reinforcements.
On the side note, Blizzard's approximations are off by one hour. Maybe they're approximating by the day. >_<
border said:Where do I go to buy the new elixirs with Apexis Crystals?
And what happened to the chicken PVP mount that Blizzard promised us?

EekTheKat said:Damn this netherdrake grind is driving me nuts :lol guess I'm getting too old for this.
I keep crunching numbers in my head so as to how quickly I can get the thing. By my estimate I'm two and a half days worth of daily quests away from getting it (7 rep dailies at 2800rep per day - curse me for being Draenei instead of human).
I'm dreading doing this again for another toon :lol So I'll probably skip it + just work on dailies for a mount.
Also I seem to be suffering from MAJOR healer burnout. ZA is a goddamn nightmare trying to get by on Kara only gear, and our new recruits have no better than the dungeon armor set, and it's seriously draining the fun out of the game trying to do the impossible.
We managed to down the bear boss easily, but stuff like Eagle, Lynx, Dragonhawk still absolutely murder us.
Lynx seems remotely doable, but Saber lash is hitting our tanks for 9k-9.5k (roughly 60% of their health), and none of our dps can survive phase 2 very well.
I'm getting some ridiculous numbers healing though (Recount parsed me at approx 1000dps healed with 10% overheal). Usually I'm about 46% of my raid's total healing at 26% overheal. In ZA I'm pulling about 55% of the total healing. And it's damn stressful trying to keep relatively undergeared people alive in there.
Overall, I think the problem with my guild is we don't have experience dealing with raid encounters that are AE heavy, or have someone randomly get one shotted by something like a chained lightning + 4.6k earthshock.
I'm not entirely faultless in this situation however, due to the healing nature of my priest and our lack of success at 25 man runs (we never got past Gruul), I just don't have the stamina gear to be able to stay alive at some of these things while still maintaining a decent amount of healing to keep pace with the damage everyone is suffering.

Definitely need to start grouping though, can't solo against an entire dungeon of gnarl-dealies yet
MrToughPants said:Are you sure? Bonus honor + all towers capped
When archers are out of combat and you cap a bunker they disappear.
I was in a 42 minute AV and ended up with about 1800 estimated honor. All towers capped, all towers defended, Bal killed, etc. etc. Plus it was an AV daily. Wasn't AV weekend, though.IzumiK said:Towers capped: 62 honour
Towers defended: 41 honour (82 on AV weekends)
Galv or Bal killed: 62 honour
Generals killed (or AV win): 82 honour
Wing Commanders saved: 20 honour
616 or 780 on weekend bonus honour. Bonus honour gives you 418 and I probably got a lot of honour from killing people. So that's how I got my estimated 1300. 2000 is impossible

I think it can be done, it'll just take a while. Plus, diminishing returns eventually kick in as you kill the team over and over and over.
