Is there any way to gift a month of game time to a friend. My buddy is hit with hard luck and I wanted to give him a month to play, but all I can find is game cards for 2 months that you buy at the store.
It would be cool if I could just pay online and get a 1 month code or something.

Good for the mage. Mages and warlocks suffer from the worst itemization in Wrath when it comes to weapons. Unlike trees / boomkin rolling on cloth or holy pallys rolling on mail, there's no where else for us to turn.
This is the net result of Blizzard doing a horrible job of 2H staff itemization for dps casters. Mages and warlocks are stuck going after a tiny number of main hands, only one of which drops with any frequency at all.
We don't need you to blow the whole 2H item budget on stamina and intellect. If I'm getting more spellpower / haste / crit / hit out of my Naxx10 MH + badge OH than I would with a Naxx25 staff, something's seriously wrong.

I think Blizzard purposely itemized KT the way they did so people would have a good reason to keep clearing through Naxx every week.
I completely agree with the sentiments about current itemization, though. It's awful. Especially if your guild has bad luck week after week with KT loot.
Although, it seems as if they're trying to bring back staves (balancing them against 1H+OH, I mean) in Ulduar.

I'd say things are fairly even between holy paladins, mages, and warlocks when it comes to weapon itemization with mages having it the worst of the three since they like spirit just as much as we do.
Excluding staves (which there are a lot of that apparently no one wants), the viable ilvl213+ options for all 3 is 4. Paladins have a second ilvl226 option but there are also more classes/specs that want it and it's best in slot for them whereas it's not for us.
If it's an upgrade from hammer of the astral plane for the paladin vs. life and death for the mage to the turning tide class shouldn't matter.

Warlocks value spirit. For those of us with the Demonic Aegis talent, it's equal to +haste behind +hit and +spellpower.
cubicle47b said:
For warlocks and mages, the problem is that Haunting Call and Soulblade are about as rare as TTT. We've been clearing Naxx since December and have zero TTT, one Haunting Call, and one Soulblade. The only mage / warlock MH I see with any real frequency is Life&Death, and we get to compete with holy pallys for that since it's basically TTT Jr.
The problem with staves is that they're spending their extra item budget on stamina and intellect, two of the least important stats for a caster. I've had people tell me this is the way it's always been, but as we scale into level 80 gear it's getting worse. Staves were a viable option compared to MH+OH in vanilla WoW.
cubicle47b said:
I agree here. Just don't take TTT from the poor bastard still using an ilvl200 weapon because Blizzard decided to make two or our three ilvl213 choices almost as rare as the ilvl226.

Betrayer, Jouney's End, and Torch are getting near off-spec status for us. We usually get two of the three every week. We've had a week where we got all three.

My only possible ilvl213+ upgrades were hammer of the astral plane (same drop rate as the soulblade) and life & death so I definitely understand how rarely they drop. I got lucky and rolled a 98 in a PuG against 3 other people for my hammer.
edit: At least he paladin weapon situation is still 10x better than in BC. The next mace itemized for us after Shard of the Virtuous (3rd boss in Kara) was Vashj's mace which every healer wanted and had a 14% drop rate (ilvl 115 -> 141).

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
You could just buy a game card and tell him the code on it.phinious said:

sounds like that would cost twice as much as this guy wants to spend. he just wants a month.

What's the add on that tells you ilvl and how much crit, etc. you're gaining from an item.
It can be hard to itemize in game when accounting for agility on a melee class sometimes and that would be helpful.

Someone needs to make a site that's just concentrated on WoW pre-release. I think after so many of have played for hundreds, thousands of hours it would be really interesting.
I know there are videos on Youtube of Orgrimmar having more pathways in the middle of the Valley of Strength and the UC having more "rings" with hallways and residences between the AH area and trainers.

I tried that and it's slightly less DPS than 15/51/5 for me.

Because SW and Darn are too big and it takes too long to get anywhere?
IF is nice and efficient
I can't even see half of whats going on, on my screen its got so much shit there. Did you build this UI or are you tweaking a premade?Macattk15 said:
Either way can you list everything that is in it? I love how everything is organized down low. I will convert to using it tonight if its possible.
vumpler said:
I downloaded a previous version of the UI, but now the guy put together a nice little guide in how to get it to work pretty damn easily.
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11325-AlcaUIrebornwidescreen.html
I would assume that makes it perfectly easy to do.
I warn you, shit is QUITE small at 1680x1050 and you can't change the scale of shit. Least I can't figure it out with it being normal looking still.
flsh said:
It came pretty close to the overall picture, everything was just jammed in the middle of the screen and I had to position it.
But now as I said in a follow-up post, the author of the UI made a guide to setting it up with the ability to load his profiles which I imagine puts the stuff in the right places for you.
You'll probably have to tweak it still a good deal, but that guide is probably pretty good.
Shit it comes a cluster fuck like i figured :lol His guide says load those profiles but they aren't listed in the addons he says they should be:lolMacattk15 said:
update: Ok i had the wrong version i got the 2.0 not the current.
update2: Ok mod not for me. I only have a 20inch widescreen. This would be epic with a 24 inch but i can't read that text for shiiit.

Finally dinged 80 on my DK today in CoS. Wasn't racing to 80, had the toon since about the beginning of Dec. Had 4 days /played when I dinged. The only problem now is trying to find a decent raiding guild that isn't full up on DK's >_<.
Worse comes to worse, I'll level my Pally. Its just nice having a level-cap toon again. Hopefully I won't sell this account too soon again.

Was mining in the basin today and ran into the rare cat spawn........asked my guild if any hunters needed it, and the hunters that were on told me to kill it, so I did
Seemed like such a waste when an actual hunter sent me a tell while I was beside the corpse asking how long ago it was killed
Sucks for that hunter!

Well I'm not assuming anything since you thought that a spec without Relentless Strikes was perfectly fineOni Link 666 said:
Edit: Looking at your gear you're using Silent Crusader + Hailstorm, if you wanna do more dps pick up Calamity's Grasp + Webbed Death and go CQC. Silent Crusader is a tad fast to be a good MH and Hailstorm is a tad slow, and the stats on the swords sucks, screw armor pen. Also Sword Spec isnt as good as it used to be, since now it only procs off autoattacks.
