I really only have fun leveling seeing my character get new toys and pulling off huge damage. I never care about whether it's quests or instances that level me up.
edit: speaking of leveling, I am enjoying my Arms warrior alt a lot. I'll have to buy him the heirloom chest next patch, and maybe another heirloom haste trinket (especially if the heal stacks). I really don't see how anyone could stand warrior tanking, though. My paladin is like 20x easier to get threat with, and doesn't have to rely on rage for his powers, and they built in a ton of mana regen/return abilities to the tankadin. Still pretty hyped at the new changes next patch too. The Ardent Defender change is a good, unique kind of life preservation thing without adding another cooldown to click, and I'm pretty sure the new raid will be very block-friendly. I'm also looking forward to the dps changes being made, since they finally made seal of command worthwhile, and are apparently trying to make seal of corruption the new dps seal of choice (at least for long fights).
Anyway, paladin digression aside, warrior tanking annoys me because rage seems way harder to get in defensive stance, but maybe with Warbringer and the rage reduction talents, and the appropriate glyphs, it's better. I'm only 41 and Arms, so when I tank shit I just swap to sword/shield and go into defensive stance, and basically pray for rage, rend/shield slam singles, TC multiples and tab-rend after TC is up until TC is off cooldown.

Modesty becomes a woman
I keep randomly clicking on some invisible addon or something. Something is bugged and certain parts of my screen wont work to click to turn or move the camera. I found one of these and moved it around, and when I picked up a quest the default blizzard quest thing was there, I had moved it when it was invisible.
Can I delete the Blizzard Ui in the addon folder? Or does anyone know an addon that interferes and makes this happen? This happened before I reformatted, now that I dont have my addons configured it's happening again and it's really annoying.

If you wipe the whole interface folder, the next time you log in to WoW and pick a character, it should take a fuckload of time but create the default interface folder all over again. Unless they changed that since ages ago, but I don't think they did. I'm pretty sure that's a hard-coded thing in case someone mods their UI and it gets corrupted or something.LAUGHTREY said:

The forum may be full of crazy autistic people who are great at number crunching, but sometimes that just leads to good general guidelines for how to play/gear up your character, which leaves your own skill at playing as the only remaining question.
I started up a UD rouge and BE mage, there were a couple of retarded Drae DK's running around when I made the mage, but they were dispatched most quickly. I love that if the similar thing were happening around Goldshire it would take forever for someone to deal with them, Allaince is soooo lazy.

Yeah, the problem with Warrior tanks is we have really spiky rage generation. Sometimes I have rage coming out of everywhere and other times I barely have any. For bosses I usually have a lot of rage, but sometimes I can actually lose it all with all the HS I do. I switched my Heroic Strike Glyph with Vigilance although I'm thinking of switching again. Revenge Glyph is super hot by the way. Best glyphs imo are Blocking, Revenge, Thunder Clap, Bloodrage, Charge, and Vigilance/HS. Vigilance is more suited for OT, but works great for MT's too. An extra 15% threat is really great for those situations when you're low on rage. HS glyph is awesome when you crit as it's an extra 10 rage which basically nullifies the cost if you have 3/3 on the heroic strike talent in arms. The problem with Warriors right now is really that we're stacking more avoidance than we used too which leads to those spiky rage situations and our AOE tanking still sucks ass plus our mitigation kinda sucks with block value being useless for Ulduar. I still love being a Warrior though.
So as I said earlier I went from DPS warrior :

To squishy Mr. Rogue :
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Trollbane&n=Hematoma
Just made the switch at the start of this week and I've already gotten pretty geared. WTB 4 pc T8.5. I WANT MY RUPTURE CRITZ.
It's sad that my rogue in current form out dps'es my Warrior by a good amount on single target things and BLOWS him out of the water on AoE (Thanks Spam of Knives & Blade Flurry).
The warrior Q&A from yesterday just solidified my choice to switch mains. Blizzard hates Warriors ... saying we should be doing the same DPS as druids & DK's. That's LOLworthy.

No, that's not right at all, actually.Kyoufu said:
Of the non-hard mode ones, there's only three 2H weapons: Stormedge, which is the same damage range, but has has a ton of hit (which I don't need) and b) is an axe so my Human gets no Expertise bonus, Abbadon, which is better as a DK tank weapon due to its glut of Stam and lower damage range. Ironsoul has Strength, Armor Pen and Critical Rating which are the top three stat-weights for Blood DKs and the same weapon damage as Stormedge.
Of course, it didn't drop, but at least I upgraded to Dragonsteel Faceplate from Spiked Titansteel (the visual upgrade alone was worth it). Our guild's top two DPSers have the worst gear by far, because nothing plate ever drops.
Dropped Yogg 10 man last night after 3 attempts. Picked up this http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46022

That really drops off Yogg? Seems pretty comparable to a neck piece that drops from Flame Leviathian :lol
funkmastergeneral said:
Their new philosophy is to have the higher Item level loot drop off of the hard mode bosses, and not the bosses at the end of the instance. Unfortunately, 10 man hard mode loot is usually better than their 25 man (normal mode) equivalent items, so we're kinda forced into raiding both for upgrades.
For example, the following are best in slot for rogues:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46032 knocks the pants off of the 25m hardmode Hodir cloak
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46095 beats everything
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45931
Not to mention that the Masticator and Combatant's Bootblade are way better than Insanity's Grip and Golem Shard Sticker, but at least those have 25 hard mode upgrades to look forward to.

Yogg's loot is generally no better than anyone else's.funkmastergeneral said:
I'm sitting on 2 pieces of Ulduar gear (Dragonsteel Faceplate and Might of the Leviathan), 4pc T7.10
lol) and lvl 75 Emerald Boar. I have the Valorous T7 Gloves, Valor Emblem cape, and Death's Bite as ilvl 213 items :lol. Everything else is Naxx 10 and HEROIC stuff (i.e. Death Inured Sabatons, Flame-Bathed Steel Girdle)funkmastergeneral

Oh man, I was not aware of that. I hope Algalon at least has higher level loot, since he technically is the last boss and requires hard mode kills.
funkmastergeneral said:
Algalon only drops hard mode loot. He is the final boss in the instance, but he drops loot in line with the other hard mode bosses.
Most of the Algalon drops are actually best in slot for a lot of classes, so it doesn't matter too much anyway. If you're downing Algalon chances are good that he'll drop something you want.

No it's not. Algalon's stuff is all ilvl239, and for the most part his drops don't appear to be unique (they are culled from other Hard Mode tables a la Gluth).firex said:

More like you don't NEED anything off him if you're downing him :lol

I said "there's only 3 STR 2H weapons in 10 man Ulduar" if I was referring to hard-mode drops, there are like 6.Kyoufu said:

Speaking of which, has anyones raid guild suffered from attendance issues because of summer? We can't progress much because random key players intermittently have random things to do on random days. We're just barely clearing the hard modes that we have on farm and can't really work on anything new.
We've tried recruiting but it's gotten really hard to recruit quality players ever since Lich King came out. Even if we filled out the holes in our raid with mediocre players the real problem won't be solved.

All Ive got is a 47 Mage, can't really do much of anything
I can do some instances here and there, but nobody really plays the 30-40 range instances on my server.
Watching people do those 10 and 25 man raids looks so fun!
Maybe I should look into hiring someone from china.......
I'm (kinda) in the same boat as you (have a 48 warlock) but I'm lucky because I already have an 80 DK and Hunter. I really hate the last bit of quests before 58 so what I'm doing is while having a blast through heroics, raids, dailies, etc I'm saving up some emblems to buy every cloth / spell power heirloom and I'll eventually send all those items back to the warlock, along with gold (for mounts), and +spell power enchants/armor and he'll be good to go for 80. :lol

Here's something that was a minor surprise:
Guild Friend and I ran a PUG Flame Leviathan, and he was a Warlock (the only caster). He asked if he could have the BoE Combustion Bracers since it was his spec, and instead of QQing about the gold and "BoE everyone roll" everyone was like "ok" and just walked off. I expressed some surprise in guild vent.
Also, we only discovered this week that you can skip downing all the towers on FL :lol I never really had looked into it, but I was like "If we talk to Brann, can't we skip this crap"

Do people normally have a problem with that? I don't think I've ever been in a PUG that cares if you roll for a BoE, as long as you equip it right afterwards.

If so I'll be pissed if I can't change my Orc into a Werewolf!
I can hardly imagine a worgen using armors and weapons like everyone else though. It will probably be some new high resolution models with new animations. I mean just look at the male worgen mask, it looks so high detailed and different from the regular mob one.
