why don't they just make it say "can't be used in arena" instead of nerfing for PvE?Lain said:Are the nerfs to Infusion of Light and Sacred Shield coming because of Arena?
They make little sense to me otherwise.

no it's not. You'll do more damage across the board with the new guile of gorefiend.Angry Grimace said:Frost is just too fun for me to quit regardless of how much they nerf it.
Frost
* Howling Blast damage has been doubled (from 259-281 to 518-562 for max rank), cooldown changed from 5 seconds to 10 seconds.
* Frost Presence now reduces spell damage taken by 10%. (Down from 15%)
* Guile of Gorefiend now increases damage done by your Blood Strike, Frost Strike, Howling Blast and Obliterate abilities by 5/10/15%. (Old - Critical damage only, 15/30/45%)
* Lichborne doesn't increase the chance of your enemies to miss you anymore.
The change to GoG is a nerf, although in the end it's not huge. These changes might make DW viable again, but it's hard to say without serious testing.

Spells should have an alternet modifers for pvp only, so it doesn't affect pve.

Everyone in our guild had 80 before the fight and 80 after... wtf
Hey, I've been pushing this on the forums since they did the whole BALANCE SO ARENA IS FAIR THING. :/Puncture said:Facking this. And this is why I hate the stupid sandbox (arena) as bad as I do, has horrible effects on class balance that adversely impacts PvE.
I swear to god I hope they build a solution to the PvE PvP issues into the base level of their new upcoming MMO.

WoW is something that is hard to get out of your system completely.

Val’anyr Hammer of Ancient Kings - Equip Effect — Your healing spells have a chance to cause Blessing of Ancient Kings for 15 seconds allowing your heals to shield the target absorbing damage equal to 15% of the amount healed.
Sebulon3k said:So Took my first dip into Heroics today, it was god awful. Wipes all around, We tried doing Nexus to start, we had a Frost DK tank that was dying in 2 globals their was nothing I could do to save him at all we killed Telestra but couldn't get past the next 2 pulls so we called it a day. Next I got a group for UK which was much better (Tank was much better) although we had a couple wipes it wasn't that bad we ended up finishing it but got nothing but leather. So I was feeling confident in my abilities and decided to try out AN but couldn't get past the first room with the 3 consecutive pulls :lol .
I really don't know if it's me or the other members of my party but Heroics seemed near impossible to get through. I have 1158 SP and 19.22% crit with 232 mp5 and 15.1k mana unbuffed, so my gear isn't really anything to flaunt but it seems like it's the biggest hindrance to me being able to heal these heroics and the sad thing is I can't get better gear cause everyone just does heroics and not normal instances past 80. Any pointers / Thoughts?
It's so important to kill the skirmishers with all DPS immediately. Since it doesn't care about agro it will wipe a group.Weenerz said:The first boss event in AN is the only difficult part, it kills most groups. Don't worry about it. Your frost DK from Nexus was probably not at 353 defense, which is the minimum for heroics to avoid getting crit. If he was dying in less than 3 global cooldowns, that is the only thing I can think that would be killing him so fast, unless he had like 15k hp. Your gear is fine for most heroics, but unless your dps is horrible, AN will be a cockblock.
Puncture said:Yeah I guess that really is kind of OP. Most dont spec for that talent anymore but 10s additional immunity on that is pretty OP.
Angry Grimace said:Frost is just too fun for me to quit regardless of how much they nerf it.
Maybe, but the base crit chance is only 5% and most enemy mobs have a 2 second swing timer. The likelihood of getting killed in three seconds is pretty low. Probably had not enough Stam, not enough armor and not enough defense.Weenerz said:The first boss event in AN is the only difficult part, it kills most groups. Don't worry about it.

Edited, got the defense numbers all screwy.
J-Rzez said:What's the least amount of players that you guys ran with that cleared 25man naxx? My guild cleared 25man OS with 14ppl so now we want to try and run through H Naxx shorthanded for the achievement. Just did 10naxx with 8 the other day.
speedpop said:I think the best solution to quitting WoW is just relaxing a bit more on raiding/PVPing and continually let it diminish. Having something else to occupy your time helps too, and try to ignore your socialism aspects involved in WoW cause they'll talk you back into doing it.
Hardly ever have a thought about WoW nowadays, I'll definitely re-sub for the next expansion because it is a fun game to wallow around in for a month or two when new content is pumped through the arm. Of course instead I waste hours playing TF2 when I should be studying.
TomServo said:Recount was both depressing and hilarious at the same time. It featured a FFB mage that was doing 1K dps before he died.
Why are you surprised that a PUG finds ways to suck?Flambe said:Man how is that even possible, even if they were the scorch refresher and missing Living Bomb and Hot Streak casts and goddamn.
firex said:hit 75 on my shaman, and while I get where to fit in lava burst into my rotation, it isn't as big of a dps buff as I thought it'd be for now. I guess it'll come more into play in groups than solo. although I can't hate on it because it still is basically a guaranteed crit lightning bolt every 8 seconds, so it gets that huge dps boost from clearcasting/elemental oath going.
edit: I'm also 99% sure it'll be easier to test this shit out when I'm 80 and have the second rank + can actually hit the grandmaster targeting dummy.

Int stacking is hilarious. I wouldn't wear the second int trinket while raiding, though.
Macattk15 said:Did they have 32 stacks of whatever dot it is on Malygos or something to achieve that DPS with the drake? I usually get into the 20's before Maly dies and the DPS the drake uis outputting is nowhere near 20k.
yeah, I glyphed for that as soon as I specced elemental. my other glyph is for lightning bolt. I just haven't had it destroy stuff quite on the level that I thought it would yet.Dina said:Do you have the glyph that leaves your Flame Shock on when you LavaB?
Its very possible if they were in greens/blues from quests. If they are wearing said gear, then they shouldn't even bother with FFB, seeing as they have super low crit.Flambe said:Man how is that even possible, even if they were the scorch refresher and missing Living Bomb and Hot Streak casts and goddamn.

Epix said:Can you equip two identical epic rings?
TomServo said:"Healing Done"
No. Too many servers/RL friends.R Squared said:Checked the first post but it wasn't terribly clear to me, is there a specified GAF server and/or guild?
Ugh. I have too few RL friends that play WoW. As in like, none.Angry Grimace said:No. Too many servers/RL friends.
As for the rings question; every lvl 80 epic ring currently in game is unique.
vumpler said:Hey guys,
What dps are the highest in your raids doing? I don't mean to sound like a 12 year old, but I'm really not happy with my DPS. I know there are a ton of upgrades I could still make being as I don't have level 213 items in slot.
But still what are you noticing as highest in your raid? I'm an enhancement shaman and know my class well. I know exactly what I need to hit cap (and have hit it) as well as expertise cap (and have hit it.) Glyphed up etc. I'm not fully enchanted as I dont have anything on boots or wrists and my shoulder enchant isn't the exalted one yet.
I lost the link to the webstats from this weeks naxx, but I was just over 7k dps on thadius. I see people easily over 8k all the time on screen shots. Even a couple posted here...
*sigh*
I hate how the "standard" for DPS is a) Patchwerk (fight where you don't have to do anything but wail away, and b) Thaddius, a fight where your DPS's is dependent on other people's skills/DPS. Patchwerk is also of dubious value to me since a really good group can show a recount of absurd levels by simply blowing CDs and a Bloodlust/Heroism so the DPS overall seems higher than what it would be sustained. DPS is vastly overrated IMHO.Puncture said:I don't think Thaddius is a really good fight to be worried about gauging your dps on. Its heavily dependent on how much you have to move (as a hunter anyway). If I get unlucky and switch every charge I lose a lot of dps, if I get to stand in the same spot damn near start to finish I do well into 8k (never broken 9k, and I really busted my ass to hit that 8k dps, haven't done it again since). Its all luck of the charges so you don't really have alot of control over it. Not to mention no matter how well you play, if 3 of your guildies manage to die on Thaddius, there goes your dps as you lose 3 10% damage charges they would provide for the entire fight.
You cant really control your numbers on him.
Or that. We had a "dps" paladin in one of my HVH groups. I was doing 3.1k (ffb mage), the ele shaman was doing 3k, and the DK tank was doing just over 1.8. The pally was doing about 800 :lol We thought about kicking him and just 4manning it, but decided to just let him stay on.TomServo said:Given that they were named "Icyhott" and that they spammed duel challenges on me as I was running from the summoning stone to the portal, I'm guessing they were just retarded.
This is a poorly chosen statement and isn't congruent with rational thinking. Stating "DPS is overrated" is just as irrational as saying "tanking is overrated" or "healing is overrated." They are all very viable rolls to have concerns about and equally rated.Angry Grimace said:DPS is vastly overrated IMHO.
