You can switch specs at any time when out of combat (unless you're in a BG or Arena). The only drawback is your mana starts at 0 when you change, so you have to drink or evocate.

But is that the way they intend to do it on Live? I had heard something about needing a Lexicon to do it.

 

[Epix]

That's the way they originally announced the feature but when the PTR first went up they changed it. Don't know if they intend to change it back. I doubt it.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Well, what I was thinking was that perhaps they omitted the Lexicon requirement for the testing phase to make sure the actual Dual Spec switching worked. I guess we won't know for a couple of weeks.

 

[speedpop]

Pre-3.0 paladin could do reckoning bomb though. Instantly kills any boss in the game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX2JEKVn-U4

Still one of the funniest WoW videos out there. Why is it always the Paladins figuring out the silliest but awesome things to do with this game?

 

[Angry Grimace]

We tried it for a couple hours last night and our bear tank was dying with drakes 2 & 3 down. We switched to a unholy DK tank (due to their damage mitigation CDs) and it seemed to go much better.

Sarth 3D is why all those DK cooldowns are getting nerfed to shit.

I mean, they have *four* of them, if I'm counting right, and that's including the fact that a lot of DK tanks seem to forget that you take close to half damage when channeling Army.

No, Blizz stated that they felt it was alright to just allow switches at any time out of combat. They changed from the Lexicon stuff.

ya we use a dk to tank sarth on 3d, seems to be the tank of choice for that fight

 

[TomServo]

The actual leveling process is a breeze and even easier if you have some heirloom items (Sword MH, Dagger OH, Shoulders and the haste trinket). I generally get a feel for a class by like 20 or so and then decide whether to continue or not.

Heirloom items are awesome.

I'm leveling a priest alt, and I've got the hammer w/ +29sp enchant, shoulders w/ +30 sta inscription, and a trinket. Only level 36, specced primarily in holy, and I roll over anything that isn't orange to me. Can't wait to hit 40, respec to shadow, and craft some shadoweave with my main. Should be a total /faceroll to 60 at that point.

Questhelper is dead (slowly)

Bad news, everyone. Questhelper's dead.

Blizzard just posted their new UI Add-On Development Policy at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/policy/ui.html. The important part is that I'm no longer allowed to ask for donations in-client. I know how much I got before I added the in-client reminder - it doesn't pay a significant fraction of the bills. And, as much as I like you guys, good intentions don't pay for my apartment.

So that's it. I'm going to be finishing up and releasing v1.0, and I'll keep posting incremental database improvements every month or two. I do plan to keep QH functional, at least through the end of Wrath, and probably further. I've got one or two features in mind that I want to do for my own sake - a few achievements, mostly - but besides that (and the v1.0 release) that's pretty much all there's going to be.

I would like to say: thanks to everyone who donated in the past. I enjoyed working on this quite a bit, and I always enjoyed seeing another donation come in - not just because of the money, but because it meant that people wanted to use QH and wanted to keep it going.

Let Blizzard know if you don't like it, and if I can get an exception, I'll start everything right back up again

The guy should stop whining and get a job to pay for his apartment. Quest Helper is crap imo anyway, there are much better ones that take MUCH less resources to run.

[Epix]

I hear Carbonite is good :shrug:

Carbonite has a premium version that they charge for that will no longer be allowed. I wonder how that will effect them.

 

[BigJonsson]

The hardest part of the fight is when Shadron and Vesperon are down at the same time with both their portals open. 225% more fire damage at that point.

Cooldown use becomes very important to keep the bear tank alive.

I believe our bear tank had 51k HP before the pull and obviously 25% less after the pull.

Took us 3 raid nights to do.

Raid night 2 on 3D is tonight, if our best people show up I'm sure we'll get it
Teneberon is pretty much dead when the 2nd drake lands, once the tanks figure out how to stay alive after the 2nd and 3rd drakes are down we got this

 

[Manick Joe]

Yeah for your tank to stay alive you need to rotate all possibly cooldowns on Sarth's tank when all the drakes are down. Even a DK can't do this all by himself so you'll have to coordinate 2-3 healers with your tank so there is always something up when they're about to be flame breathed. I think we normally use a Disc Priest and Holy Paly.

i'm pretty sure a dk can handle on the c/ds on his own, shouldnt require any additional healer c/ds, obviously they dont hurt, but a dk can handle it on his own

 

[BigJonsson]

We don't really have a dedicated DK tank

Both our DK's are usually DPS, one is actually the raid leader as well and he usually does the most DPS on melee friendly fights

He also has tank gear but I really doubt he'd be geared enough/able to co-ordinate the fight if he had to stay with Sarth....

Hopefully the druid can pull it off tonight

 

[Kyoufu]

Well, there goes my hopes for some Priest PVP viability. Blizzard just made a change on PTR that killed it again, completely.

Psychic Horror is now 2 minute CD.

(That is not an official change. It is something we were experimenting with, but not a change we are going to make for 3.1. Source)

:lol You better knock that back, Blizzard. Trying to give Paladins back their shine.

 

[BigJonsson]

Almost had 3d tonight but people got too excited and got nailed by a void zone while AOEing the adds down after Shadron was dead =/

We'll have it on Wednesday for sure

 

[Tamanon]

Imp Scorch bumped back up to almost what it was before.

ZOMG TURTLE MOUNT OBTAINED THROUGH FISHING!

Now I have to work on fishing

How much of a bore is it?

[gottalovetheglove]

Yes, very boring. Not a bad money maker though, combined with cooking.

[Oni Link 666]

Leveling fishing is just about the most boring thing in the game. You can level it in a city so, if you like trade chat you might enjoy it. :lol It was way too boring for me to level it in a few days. It took me like a month.

 

[firex]

I'll level it after the patch since it sounds like fishing will be better then (fishing outside your skill level will give you junk items). Going from like, 60 fishing or some crap to 450 in Dalaran or that Tuskarr village in Dragonblight should be better than catching low level fish I can't use. at least I'm assuming you can skill up while doing that since it seems like you can skill up fishing anywhere.

 

[Tamanon]

It's pretty dull. The best thing to do when leveling is to do it while watching TV or something. Turn off the WoW music, crank your speakers up to where you can hear the bob and just right click whenever you hear it. Then just hit your hotkey(1 for me), move the cursor over the bobber and get right back to watching TV.

It'll fly by for the first 100 levels, and then it's all steeply downhill. Makes leveling Blacksmithing look easy.

 

[gottalovetheglove]

It'll fly by for the first 100 levels, and then it's all steeply downhill. Makes leveling Blacksmithing look easy.

Yeah. I'm currently at about 275 unbuffed and I just can't stand going to the Hinterlands (leveling cooking with fishing, and Hinterlands gives a good amount of Sunscale Salmon) and fishing for more than 15 minutes. It doesn't help that the drop rate on Sunscale Salmon is really low when I usually start fishing at around 5pm, either.

I'm thinking of just leveling cooking by itself for now, then just grinding fishing out in Dal come 3.1.

 

[firex]

If you can get cooking to 300 then you will be fine for leveling it past there. I literally have like 60 fishing or something at the most on my pally and I'm at 430ish cooking. Although honestly I won't mind catching Northrend fish just because they give the awesome dual health/mana foods with buffs.

 

[Macattk15]

Hurray for further nerfs to Fury!

 

[dave is ok]

I love cooking/fishing.

My character has every profession achievement

 

[funkmastergeneral]

I love fishing, especially once I could start doing it in Northrend. I'm only at about 330 right now but have caught 2 Siren's Tears, about 8 pearls, and tons of clam meat and fish I can cook and sell. And compared to farming herbs I don't have to compete with anyone else unless I'm looking for schools.

Edit: I am a holy priest and would like to get into raiding. I have 999 spellpower right now, how much should I have to do raids? I got turned down by some guy doing Naxx yesterday, that's why I'm wondering. I know with my warrior tank there was a certain defense I should attain, and didn't know it would be the same with my priest.
This is my armory btw http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Gorefiend&n=Xiuxiu

Improved Berserker Stance now increases strength by 3/6/9/12/15% instead of increasing attack power by 2/4/6/8/10%

its a buff if you actually use all plate items, it kind of hurts leather itemization, and this will change best in slot for a fury warrior

im going to switch to arms when 3.1 launches, i'll probably go back to fury after getting bis ulduar gear tho

Yeah same here, nabbed a Crypt Fiend's Bite last raid week in preparation since it seems I will never get a BoH.

I'd really really like if Blizzard would change the Warrior version of Armored to the Teeth to grant STR instead of AP.

A lot of people have the number 1500 floating around as a high water mark for Naxx, although obviously you'd want a more reactive and efficient healer than one who just has a certain amount of spell power.

Psychic Horror (the new fear+disarm spell).

Priests will still be free HKs in PvP.

True, but some fights in Naxx are just about straight up HPS. Patchwerk obviously, but Loatheb needs the biggest heals possible when the window is open.

Without having to worry about hit, I'd expect healers to have more +sp than the dps.

[Angry Grimace]

Welcome to hell :lol

I just hotkeyed my cast to a mouse button. When you sit around wondering how your local trade chat troll does it, this is how, by fishing.

Just remember that you don't HAVE to go anywhere outside Stormwind/Orgrimmar to fish all the way to 450 (other than training). Fishing skill-ups are based on the number of fish you catch, not the difficulty of the pond/fish.

I always hear people in PUGs calling for 2000+ (for 10!), but I've never noticed a problem with my wife's heals and in ToL form she barely breaks 1900. I think people aren't really paying attention to the fact that certain spells take more SP benefit than others.

 

[TomServo]

Buffed or unbuffed?

Unbuffed. 1500sp is not difficult to get running heroics. I know I was over 1500 unbuffed before I started raiding, and I was even sacrificing +sp for +hit, something a healer doesn't have to worry about.

Moving goalpost alert!

The poster who brought the question up was under 1000 +sp (unbuffed I hope). Little bit different than being at 1900 +sp buffed.

In regards to people with high standards for PUGs, there's a difference between doing something and doing something quickly. It's not always e-peen or snobbery. A well-geared PUG (alts or raiders who missed their guild night) can get through Naxx in three hours or so. PUGs with first time raiders, people in greens, or just outright bad players may down KT, but it may take them three times as long (if not more).

Same goes for heroics. If I feel like farming badges with guildies we can /faceroll through heroics in under half an hour. While it is nice to see gear go to use instead of being DE'd, I don't always want to take the time to carry a new 80 through an instance.

Taking an 80 through to get geared is fun for me, provided the player is good (alts are notoriously fun to move through if you know the player).

Oh, and the new Lottery Boss is "Emalon the Stormwatcher." No clue how to fight him, but I hope they give him at least a degree of difficulty. No more seeing idiots in greens facerolling through him. I'd also like to see a boss that I can keep up with a little better as melee; my warrior and death knight always seem to have problems targeting Archavon for some reason.

 

[Manick Joe]

I love cooking/fishing.

My character has every profession achievement

Even the 160 recipe one? I'm at like 155 and it seems my only remaining holes are the horde only quest rewards and those stupid chimera chops from the AQ gate opening chain (no way am I doing that rep grind).

How is Archavon hard for melee? Just need to occasionally run like 20 yards and stand slightly out of the dreaded dust cloud of doom.

Because PUG tanks can't seem to hold him still long enough for my Warrior to stay in Melee range. They have a bad tendency to walk off and move around all the time. Unlike, say, Sapphiron, his hit box isn't ginormous.

I didn't say he's "hard" for melee, anyways, just that melee damage on Archavon isn't keeping up with ranged in most cases. Archavon is just a lottery e-peen boss anyways.

 

[The Lamonster]

So...what's the best replacement for Questhelper?
