I am nearly in tears after reading some posts at the WoW forum. They did this script where everyone says something like lol, lolcats, rofl, lmao at the end of each sentence. :lol

I assume Soulfrost is the best enchant for an Affliction lock, no? Also, I've been using a staff throughout my entire "career" as a warlock- what are the advantages of going dagger/offhand instead and should I consider it in place of staves?

Soulfrost is nice, but expensive, so save it for a nice weapon. Don't put in on the S1 dagger. I prefer sword/dagger + offhand combo. Prince dagger + Orb of the Soul Eater gives you a lot more +damage than the Curator staff will give you. Usually you'll have lower stam and int with the combo, but your damage will be much higher.

Soulfrost is a lot more money than +40 Damage, almost to the point where it's not worth it.

Dagger + Offhand tends to give you better damage stats at the cost of STA/INT. Orb of the Soul Eater is probably the preferred offhand for Affliction Warlocks and Shadowpriests.

I'd have to agree with this assesment, although YMMV if you're a min/maxer. If you want to blow the cash to squeeze out that +14 shadow damage and not bother with your fire spells (which is easy for an affliction lock) by all means go for it.

Not fun being an LFG Affliction Warlock, with the way Magister's Terrace seems to work. Today I got passed up in favor of a Destruction Lock with 540 Spell Damage (and 200 less Shadow Damage than I have). Not that that was a good decision, but for whatever reason people seem to think the place can't be done on Heroic without heavy burst damage.

My 60 rogue has finally hit Shattrath -- is there any reason I should prefer Aldor over Scryers? It looks like both factions are about the same.

Well, for a combat swords rogue it seems like an even choice. Aldor has an epic sword at Exalted, Scryers have an epic dagger at Exalted. Both are good weapons, but there are auction-house BoE epics that you can substitute for either one. Considering that the current daily quests yield mostly Scryer-related drops, I'm thinking it'd be better to go Scryers. The Aldor epic sword does look pretty nice though.

Looking at the survey on WoWWiki, it looks like most rogues have gone Aldor, though it's a 60/40 split at best.

I've done Scryers on 2 sword Rogues. Both of my rogues are Elves so I went with them. Seriously, I can't stand Draenei and their accents and sayings. They get on my nerves. I don't care for either of the epic weapons since the Gladiator's S1 weapons are better and easier to get. The 3 biggest deciding factors are the shoulder enchant, the trade recipes, and where you're going to be farming the turn-ins.

Scryers seem to be an easier rep grind, my shaman is barely revered with aldor and I dont even feel like going anymore, but with all the sunfury signet dropping mobs in netherstorm, scryer is cake.

When chosing between aldor and scryer pretty much just pick based on the inscriptions. All the gear from Aldor and Scryer rep is wellfare shit thats pretty bad anyways.

Well, part of the advantage of going Scryer, for me at least, was the enchanting trainer. I just got Restore Mana Prime a good 20 or so skill under what it would take to get the recipe.

They changed it some time ago (right after I got it) because it procing ignite would autobreak sheeps and it annoyed Mages both in PvP and PvE.

Rolled a Troll Hunter today

Seems like a fun class to play through the first 7 levels

But I'm too used to playing a rogue as I keep trying to stealth through large groups of mobs and then realize I don't have stealth :lol

so, badges of justice. i've decided to farm them and save them for lvl 80. the chances of them introducing lvl 80 gear to be bought with them are high right?

also, what kind of gear is needed for heroics. will people making groups bitch about a rogue in Opportunist's Battlegear and season 1 daggers?

Eh, once you hit 10 and get your pet, you'll just cut a swath quicker than rogues can stealth:p

Deathnote: I don't think it'll be badge of justice gear at 80. I think they'll come up with a new token.

Just how good are the clothcraft crafted gear compared to arena/pvp/quest gears? Right now I'm skin/mine for a pure gold output, but I'm going to be hitting 70 shortly but would rather not waste the time on grinding cloth to 375 if the improvements are minor or nonexistant

For raiding? If you're a mage/warlock/priest, the tailoring sets are outstanding, don't get replaced until Tier 5 at least.

For PvP? They're alright.

Might not believe this, but I was a part of a PuG that dropped A'lar, Solarian, and VR (wasn't there for VR kill) last night. Solarian and A'lar seemed really easy once things got going. Of course, I'm DPS, so I do have the easiest job.
