World Of Warcraft

Woowdamn I gotta get my paladin in there, stat. That transmog is a must have.

Don't enchant in Wo D. Currently so far imbalanced that its not even funny.

Do Disenchant things. But do it on green things, blue are worth half as much and probably sell more to vendor.

I was under the impression that the multi-strike enchant on weapons was quite potent.

Edit: Suddenly Friday morning maintenance.

I dislike the rogue final talents.

Say what are you people's experiences against rogues in this expansion?

I think it's amusingly short-sighted of Blizzard that one of the top level 100 talents for rogues is a DPS cooldown that's best macroed together with your spec DPS cooldown.

Kinda sad, I am the first level 100 in my Alliance guild.

Molten Corgi. Core Hound Mount. What's not to love? Happy 10th Birthday, World Of Warcraft!

I suggest for appropriately themed tracks to get you through the pain that is 40 man LFR, I suggest putting on some classic tapes of Molten Core Wipes and Onyxia Wipe from Dives of Wipe Club.

Just rejoined World Of Warcraft, used the boost on a pally I was leveling beforehand. Spent the last ~4 hours hitting 91 and gathering the entirety of my first clownsuit. I think I should be able to get to the core hound mount at this rate.

Did not enjoy the first bit, stuck fighting at the dark portal with only crusader strike.

The idea is to get you used to your abilities.

A good way to force unlock all of your abilities is to queue up for something or switch to your other spec if you can do so.

I got my free 5 days. Guess I'll farm Timeless Isle for battle pets.

Did they show up on the battlenet launcher or just the account management page?

I'll say this for Blizzard: they have mastered the art of providing incentives to log in every few hours. Garrison missions...

I'm up to item level 624, got my 680 ring and my 640 hat, at this point it's just a matter of collecting enough resources to buy or craft some more epic gear.

Little by little they are making it so you dont have to log in every single day at level 100. At level 3 your buildings have 3 days worth of stuff in queue and at 700 your profession cd gains 3 charges each with a 24 hour CD. Missions are also getting longer and longer.

Just went through 2.5 hours of Molten Core LFR. Was a good way to relive the memories, from watching people get thrown into the lava by Surgers, to "You're the bomb!" "Thanks!" wipes, I'm pretty happy I don't have to go back in there ever again.

Unless I really want the enchant.

This is also the fastest I've gone from starting an expansion to being raid-ready.

So if I up my follower's item level will that make them stronger as a bodyguard?

x5 Battlenet launcher.

The follower's item level improves them whenever they are doing damage. This including bodyguarding, patrolling, and missions.

Also, I've noticed the War Mill is much better for leveling than the Bunker. The random upgrades are really helping my main replace old So O gear. I do feel bad for removing a place to sleep for my followers and peons though...

95, will complete Gorgrond bonus objectives after I wake up. Left my placeholder leveling guild because I got tired of annoying GM.

/asks basic question about quest, even though GM hasn't responded to anything else I've said, even through we've been the only ones online for 4 hours

"Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"

/gquit

I'm enjoying the Garrison a bit. Gorgrond's quest lines seemed very short; goblin mech vs Iron Horde was fun tho'.

So it turns out Wrathion visited Admiral Taylor's Garrison. It looks like he had a hand in Taylor's Garrison falling.

I've done that quest. I'm really wondering what Wrathion is up to.

x4: You sure about the ilvl increases making them better at bodyguarding? Admittedly, I haven't really taken my bodyguard into anything strenuous yet, nor have I been keeping an eye on her damage.

The ilvl increase gives a noticeable effect on missions though (or at least, noticeable when you take them from 600 to 630).

Also, HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY, WORLD OF WARCRAFT!

This comic is so, so, applicable.

People do not remember Vanilla enough. It was horrible. Ok. It was not. But compared to what we have nowadays? It was horrible. The game is so much better nowadays than what it was before. Silly Nostalgia Filter.

What I do miss from vanilla, was the Pv P. Felt more fluid. Like. Something actually happened. Instead of the dumbass snoozefest that is trying to kill anything that will never die due to it being a healer, or one being nearby. But even in that regard, they are getting better. Now. If only Subtlety was not so incredibly difficult to play...

It's kind of funny. I started leveling my Retribution Paladin the other day, since my Druid is pretty much maxed out save for farming up mats for 640 upgrades and running heroics to fill the few remaining sub-630 slots. Ret is so much easier than Balance that it's not even funny. Maybe it's because it has barely changed.

Blizzard's revamp to Balance may have made it more difficult to master, but I would challenge the "easy to learn" part. Aside from clicking Starfall to pull everything in a 40 yard radius and wipe instance groups. That's pretty simple. Still, I do get a kind of satisfaction out of trying to max my DPS and succeeding.

My memories of old school PvP are mixed. I never bothered getting gear, so mainly it was about trying to nuke things from a distance and hoping they didn't notice the squishy Druid. I participated in Tarren Mill vs. Southshore, but I had no real experience so it was mainly getting killed over and over. I've run battlegrounds for the various quests and achievements that require them, and occasionally with guildmates for giggles, but other than that PvP has never appealed to me. I therefore cannot speak to the various balance issues.

I'd say that healers should be tough to kill; that's kind of the point. A healer should be able to keep themselves alive plus teammates, so taking one down ought to require dedicated effort from more than one player. That said, they have little offense, so you aren't going to die yourself — you just need to wear down their mana.
