At least in cataclysm so far it looks like they are setting it up so the best dps rotation is stormstrike, lava lash, LB at max MW stacks (god I hope they redesign this, worst dps talent in the game), searing totem (to buff your lava lash and provide additional dps), earth shock on cooldown, magma totem + fire nova in aoe situations.Bisnic said:
So all they really did for now is remove needing to refresh LS (static shock no longer uses charges of it) and SR is probably going to be a decent oom cooldown, but not as necessary thanks to primal wisdom or whatever, the talent that gives all auto-attacks a chance to restore mana. I can't remember if it's a low proc with tons of mana or a high proc with low mana. Enhance is going to be more efficient just because it will be restricted to base mana, so I suspect totems will be cheaper to cast (plus with everyone else getting shaman buffs with a benefit to casting them, the only totems I'd drop in most raids/groups as enhance are searing/magma for dps, mana/healing totem, and possibly windfury unless they add that 20% haste buff to another class).
anyway I am hoping they have a beta build coming eventually with a massive overhaul to enhance and some more buffs to elemental/resto, because while resto is the best shaman tree by far, I would still put it as 3rd/4th best healer right now. It'll be one of the better tank healers in cataclysm though, since they can proc ultra-fast efficient heals.

Any chance you can link your Armory? I'm pretty much at BiS pre-ICC gear, just haven't taken the time to finally head in there. I just made my second spec the raid fire spec for something a little bit different in heroics. I'm just wonder at what gear level Fire shows a marked increase in DPS.

Pretty much once you get 4pc T10 you can spec Fire and get a good boost. Our Mage switched just this past raid day and saw a good 1k jump in DPS.

I'm in 232-251. Use Rawr and run the optimizer, I had to regem a bit. I'd say once you have about 45% fire crit raid buffed you should be ok to go fire. Was doing 15-20kdps on trash and about 9k on bosses and my gearscore is only 5.1k just to give an idea of my gear levels.

Yes and no. I don't bot since I can't risk it, being one of our MTs. My friend on the other hand does it so much that he's a moderator at the programs site and knows a bit of chinese since he sold gold to them >_>
E: not recommending botting to anyone, just saying it's a possibility if don't mind risking your account.

Coming back to WoW I'm loving my boomkin once again (Starfall is awesome now wow) but I'm having fun leveling my mage to 80 as well. Having fun with all mage specs so far, shame frost cant be used for raids, Deep Freeze crits are epic even at my level.
I can't stand the enh shaman rotation and sucks that you need an addon to be any good at it. It's a shame cause my orc looks awesome in his gear. Worst part about a druid is you're in animal form all the time so you don't get to admire your phat lewt in raids. Are they going to introduce new moonkin models like they did bear/cat ?

Just read that farming black temple trash seems to be all the rage with botters nowadays. If a bot can do it, it shouldn't be a problem to do it manually. Has anyone tried that? I'm in dire need for some gold and would be willing to try it if the gold is good. Is there some special spec for prot paladins that is geared towards farming old raid content?

Some faction leaders pictures:

Deathwing looks like a Gears of War character, and what the hell happened to Garrosh? I hope all orcs get that treatment. Also Malfurion is a midget

9k dps on bosses in 5.1k gear? That seems like a pretty high number especially since at that gear level arcane dps should beat fire. You sure you're not misattributing the dps increase to the spec instead of the new gear you got? (muradins is a pretty big upgrade, especially if you were using a blue trinket)HixxSAFC said:

Question about my headset - I got one that connects by 3.5mm plugs, one in the mic port and one in the headphones port. When I plug it in, the sound stops coming through my speakers and only comes through the headset.
How do I change the settings so all sound comes out of my speakers except voice?

Why am I updating WoW? What have you done to me WoW Thread :lol No good can come of this!
Why? It seems perfectly doable, I don't see why this would be considered high.DarkJC said:
PS. Damn me, goblin starting zone is fantastic:lol both the setting and the quests are funny. So many great concepts too (e.g. Kaja'cola, Town in a box). I just love how you
blow up the island you are on... twice:lol

I don't think there's anything I dislike about those models. Yes, the elven forms of the dragons and Sylvanas have recolored armor, but it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. Even with them standing side by side.funkmastergeneral said:
Jaina and Garrosh's new models makes me yearn for them to update the old world models. I know these models are supposed to be unique, but just imagine what Blizz could do to the regular models.

Seems very easy to hit 9k dps with the 30% ICC buff.

Jaina's eyes aren't half closed, she's just using way too much makeup. Deathwing looks nice, Malfurion is ok and Varian is great. I also love Sylvanas' model, even if I hate her and it's been overused now.
It just makes it even more annoying to run around as a player model from 2003-ish.

I have a problem with Malfurion's model. It's great and all, but there is something off that makes me laugh at it. Can't pinpoint it though, why that is. Sort of the "something is wrong but i don't know why" kind of feeling.
Still, I hope that one day they change vanilla player models. They are so horribly outdated :/
I wonder what the new gear will look too, because aside from weapons they all use the crappy ~20-30s level models and it just looks WRONG changing your shiny epics into these hideous things:lol

Fuck! Blizzard!
I figured I'd try logging into my Cata install, since its faster than checking BNet and I was able to log on...but instead of being able to play, I get this!

Just checked BNet and I'm not in the beta...but I can make a character and can log into the Broxigar server. Weird.
Fun part: Worgen and Goblin are greyed out, but the choice highlighted is Blood Elf Warrior. :lolnotworksafe said:Fuck! Blizzard!

I'm using my new-found flying mount everywhere abilities to go explore areas I've always wanted to go to before they update them. Karazhan wasn't that much fun to walk around on top of, but I'm on my way to what used to be the un-mapped "Qual'Thalas" zone to check that out.

Yeah I feel the same way about Blood Elf Warrior, but that's what the default choice was. It just worked out perfectly. :lol I'm hoping this is a sign I'm getting into the beta soon...or maybe my account is about to be banned...
A couple of interesting Cata beta screenshots (captions are for the image file above them):
Stratholme is now fully modelled out even outside the instance. You can't fly over it because of an invisible wall, the "flying mount yells at you" kind of invisible wall.
Seems that Blizzard is planning or at one point were planning to include the Burning Crusade areas in their continent's map file in Cataclysm. Here's Ghostlands terrain extending behind the portal in Eastern Plaguelands, something I am fairly sure it doesn't in 3.3.5. You can't enter the portal as it's covered by the same invisible wall that prevents you from flying north of the mountains.
You can, at least currently, fly into Acherus: The Ebon Hold as a non-DK. It's just as broken as it's always been for non-death knights, you can purchase things from the vendors but the flight master doesn't actually connect to anything for you. Luckily you can fly out.

I'm fucking doing a PUG raid at an acceptably awesome framerate with great visuals, in my living room on this new laptop, wirelessly....and it's playing just fine. I'm amazed and scared...my productivity level is going to go down the shitter this year. This laptop was supposed to be for school!
And man, I bought a wireless router for the first time yesterday too. It's like I just moved into the 21st century yesterday, lol.
Fuck, this shit rules. If I can grind alts wherever wifi is around...oh man. There goes my life :lol :lol

Broxigar is the public test realm. Don't know why they put it back up.notworksafe said:
Yup, this could be it. Or this, combined with absurdly long, green beard. I know this is Warcraft universe and he is a powerful, old, wise night elf druid but fuck, it just looks weird :lolBisnic said:
Still, really enjoying Hyjal. I don't have that much time to play beta so I haven't been to Vashj'ir yet, but this zone is really top notch. The ongoing plot for a whole zone is a great idea. So far it has branched off into two separate locations only once, but even though it's not giving many choices of progressing I'm loving it.
Two new instances are great too. I enjoyed TotT more than BC (BRC?), but both are great. BC with pugs will be fun at the beginning, the second boss may screw pugs pretty hard. And damn fourth boss, she made me feel really bad
GJ Blizz TotT's two later fights are really fun. Also, I prefer warm, lively colors so it resonated with me much better than BC did.
Also, those with the beta - a lovely bug with mounts. All mounts at the moment are working as passenger mounts, so if you haven't done that yet group up and mount someone other's mount. enjoy standing on it's head:lol

I responded to a whisper i got this morning from 'blizzclark' with, "you're an asshole." Then I put blizzclark on my ignore list. Moments later the guy was back with a different account name of random giberish (i.e. [GM] kasjfldsfj) saying that my account had been temporarily suspended. He logged before i could call him an asshole again.
