WoW'ers stand up and be counted!!!

So it rained all weekend long. Needless to say, I raided too much. The only toon I didn't raid on was my holy rogue (aka ret pali). I've tried and tried but I just can't seem to get myself to like the changes. I don't think they got nerfed too badly in single target DPS. But AoE damage got destroyed. If they just take the holy power away from divine storm, I'd be happy. But right now, I really don't like ret pali.

i'm having a blast with my pally now

shrug i dunno LOL. course i do have shadows edge

I was on the quest for shadowmourne and then about half way into it, I decided that it really wasn't worth the money or effort. Yes, Shadows Edge is marginally better than say Bryn Toll, but not by much. I sold the saronites and bought a chopper. I think the first time I saw a blue 2H Hammer drop in one of the lvl 81 instances and it was way better than even shadowmourne, I lost interest.

The single target ret pali rotation is really easy. It actually helps me out on many fights because I don't try to sneak a divine storm in here and there. I don't like how mechanically, they made palis basically holy rogues. I'm not a fan of prot pali either atm. They have no burst threat abilities. You really have to wait for the stacks from your seal of truth to get to 5 before you start gaining real threat. Essentially, you need to give a pali tank a good 10 second head start or your mages/locks/warriors are going to surpass their threat in like 3 seconds.

ya one of our pally tanks was like #######..i can't tank or hold threast anymore...and he quit his pally now has a dps warrior. my aoe rotation is the same as single target except i switch tv for DS and use a holy wrath (glyphed of course) every other filler after CS. and i pop a consecreate down after my first cs. Seems to work for me..i dont do drastically more than single target but a bit.

i do over 10k on lk fights we cna't get him down past 50% ppl cna't dps stun the valks down fast enough and then they wont move with the fracking defile../sigh. i just want my fracking Kinglsayer title already lol

I miss the divine storm procs off my 4 pc t10 set bonus. I can remember getting 7-10 procs in a row and my DPS would skyrocket. I don't like that you can't keep consecration up 100% of the time anymore, but I do like that divine storm isn't a part of my normal rotation (single target). I pretty much had to use it before, and especially in the first two phases on LK, where you have the adds that are being tanked off to the side. I found that I would end up killing 3 or 4 of them, just wtih the splash damage from my divine storm. With fewer adds to spread out the damage of a debuff, that means more damage on me. Yes, I got yelled at a lot for doing that.

On another note, I still don't get Fire Mages. I don't know, maybe i'm just retarded. Since the 4.0 patch, I've spent hours upon hours testing my DPS. I have several friends and even my sister in law all tell me that fire mage is superior once you get decent gear. Well, I got decent gear, and tried out fire spec. I do like 6K DPS on the dummies, while doing close to 10K on the dummies in arcane spec. #######.

[The_Dude 1,142]

I don't know if anyone knew this, but you don't need a druid with epic flying skill to summon Anzu in Heroic Sethekk Halls anymore. Too bad I still don't have the effing mount though.

[The_Dude 1,142]

Woot, two kingslayer titles in one night!!

[The_Dude 1,142]

I guess I didn't really realize how much of a joke ICC is until sunday. I did an ICC 10 on my pali. It was an achievement run and we did heroic boss (except LK and PP). We single healed 9/12 fights on heroic mode. I'm missing 2 achievements to get my bloodspattered drake.

I have run into the dilema of what toon to lvl first in cataclysm. At least with this ex-pack, I won't have to wait 5-6 weeks til I could actually lvl. When WoTLK came out, I was playing on a piece of ####### laptop and when I first tried to go to borean tundra on launch day, I had an 0.2 framerate. Now i've got a beast of a computer. Mel keeps telling me I'm a super nerd for taking a couple of days off work when cataclysm gets released. Damnit, i'm going to get a server first on something.

Lol! I know the feeling. I'm going to level my druid first, though I doubt I will get server first Druid (some of the people on my server are INSANE). Can't wait to do the quests on live though, it will be awesome. Also can't wait because they are allowing race transfers right away, and I really want to turn my druid from a night elf into a Worg. Kind of tired after 5+ years seeing her as a NE/Tree, and the worgs are so cute! Only downside is last time I checked the females still sounded like chain smokers.

I've been getting ready for cataclysm this week. Finally maxed out a few professions on my horde toons. I just hate having to buy stuff off the AH.

I raid on both alliance and horde toons and they are all equally geared. Unfortunately, both my horde and alliance guilds have placed timeframes on getting to 85. Basically, I have 3 weeks to get at least one toon on each side to 85 and ready to raid after launch. I really hate stuff like that. It's a game, it's supposed to be fun. I'm not going to play by some arbitrary deadlines.

Thats dumb. My old guild did that with WOTLK, but then figured out not enough ppl were able to do it so had to back off a bit or start running raids without their raiders.

[Tick Tock 3]

I don't like the sound of deadlines or timelines.

I was debating about whether I should level a new (Worgen) character or max my priest to 85 first, but I am hesitant on even buying Cataclysm now. I did roll a mage last night and I think I'll be working on leveling her; the Shattering and revamped leveling content is not dependent on Cataclysm so I can still enjoy the game, and save money. We might be moving to a place without internet (and no ability for [affordable] high-speed internet) around January or something - I've honestly no idea what's going to happen in the upcoming months but it doesn't look good.

As for actual game-related blah blah blah...

I've healed through Noth and XT-002 weeklies, as well as OS (9men)! If only the guild had an ICC-10 group for raiding newbies. I don't expect anything to materialize even though a member had mentioned setting a group up, with Cata being so close to release.

My haste is still way too low and my gear is awkward, but at least I have an 80!

[GLo 0]

LOL A deadline to reach 85? It sounds more like work than a game. My fiancee and I (mostly me really) currently run a casual raiding guild and I don't plan to implement a deadline. What's the point? You reach 85, raid, get bored and wait until the next expansion/raid? There's no fun in that.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not that too excited with Cata. However, I'm hoping it will bring back some people back to the game. One thing is for sure. The earthquake is less annoying than the zombie/plague effect that Blizzard introduced before WOLK was launched.

[The_Dude 1,142]

Well, it's not like it's a harsh deadline. I'm not going to get kicked from the guild If I fail to meet the deadline. That is just the day that they want to start raiding the new content. If I want to get into the main raid group, I need to be prepared by then. I like to raid. I am a min/max player and raiding is what I enjoy doing. The guild I am in now is nothing compared to previous guilds. I was in one that when there was new content coming up, you had to get on the PTR and test out all the mechanics. They had guild PTR runs that were just infuriating. They also wanted simcraft logs. It got to be a bit much.

[Welshcookie 17]

Finally upgraded my computer today, my video card was very sad when the patch hit So I'm good to go

[The_Dude 1,142]

The minimum requirements they list to play the game are a joke. They should stipulate that those are the minimum requirements to stand out in an empty map, with no addons running and, nobody around, and graphics settings all the way to low.
