The point with BC is that you dont have to play that much anymore to have good gear. They totally changed loot so that it would be more even.

Also, I simply stated that 5k hp is very low for a lvl 70 warlock. I'm sorry if that offends ppl, but it is the truth.

that all depends on the gear..

he could his gear all dmg and no very little stamina

I knew a lock pre-burning crusade that i had 2000 more hps then a friend of mine, but he his gear was also specced for insane dmg

to each is own..

*Still Confused* I think Im getting realms, servers and all those mixed up. Are all the realms connected or something?

Sorry for asking all these newbish questions but thats what I am in WoW, a newbie. :p

Alright, let me explain. Realms and servers are the EXACT same thing. Pretty much they are different servers but they are called "realms" in the warcraft world. Ok? So now, each realm is seperate from the other realms. They all have their own zones/areas/etc. Now in each realm there are currently 2 worlds. Azeroth and Outland. Azeroth has 2 continents, Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor (press m in game and right click a bit to check both of them out). Now outland...has only 1 continent and it is called outland.

That's pretty much it...

Uh? That's more or less how games like WoW work. I don't play WoW anymore - I quit during my trial because I had more constructive things to do, like sticking my hand in a food processor. The lore and stuff interests the hell out of me, but I can't stand the game itself or the people playing it. I spent more time reading the official forums and soaking in all the information than playing the game. Anyway, that guy who plays 8 hours a day? He is going to end up better than you, like it or not. Every MMO works this way. Also, I didn't see him flame anyone, or even mention play times. Perhaps you should stop talking instead? Looks to me like he's just trying to give advice.

I really did want to enjoy WoW, I was a huge huge huge fan of all the RTS games. I honestly had a lot of faith in Blizzard that they could make a MMO and not fall back to the same tactics everyone else did (namely, boring level grinds, and gear grinds at 60). I got a priest into the 20s and just couldn't stand it anymore. It was just the same crap painted a different color. Instead of killing 10 kobolds in the human starting place, I was killing 10 wolves or whatever. And, there's what I was saying above. The people who play 5 or more hours a day are always going to kick my ass. I'd spend an hour, maybe 2 tops a day playing, because that was all I could stomach. I don't understand how some people can sit around and devote the time they do to this game.

You should really play for yourself :). Like, I tried raiding and I didn't like it at much, so me and my friend are just going to be playing together casually doing pvp mainly, maybe some raiding on the side? who knows. And about the community...avoid the forums like the plague.

God I love WoW. While I was gathering mats to make my usualy bout of pots I went on a culling of alliance mains and alts (huge ratio against us on our server) and got this from a warrior I just killed.

Ugh...I made a lock got it to level 23 and its so boring at the moment. All I do is CoA, Corruption, Immolate and wand. Does it get better or should I roll another class? heh

Get better as far as what you do? NO. get better as in OMFGWARLOCKSCHEAT... yes.. Warlocks are the most overpowered class in the game when played well. It's a great class, BUT your job is not to cast like a mage, to use a melee like a rogue, you do 80%-90% of your damage over time. (Dots) And in pvp your main thing is to dot them up and fear them away.. hehe

It all depends on what you want to do though.

Well it depends on how you like to play.

Rogue is dmg pure and simple

Warriors can do insane dmg, but are very very gear dependent. Also, most ppl will want you to tank.

Paladins can do dmg, however, 99% of the time you will be backup healing and sometimes main healing. If you ever decide to raid, you will ONLY be a healer.

So, there you go.

artex is 100% correct. Paladins AREN'T Main Tanks.. Not in end game. But a paladin can replace a priest just fine, with the added blessings, cleanses, etc. they are awesome. But of course with ANY class it all goes back to how you are speced.

What kills me are how Druids are now, they went from a jack of all trades, master of none, to full time replacing warriors as MT's. So much so that Blizz had to tone them down some last patch, because they were to buffed. I think its great though, makes them fit in more now, instead of ONLY being a backup healer and that's it for instances.

I feel for your healers. Get a real tank, warrior or druid, and it'll be so much easier.

and i never said it was tuff

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol. The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique shaders by using master materials and generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game and managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime, it's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
