Hehe i'm on my 6th time back playing it! Mean I already quit 5 times. I also really think exit #6 is coming up real soon, getting bored as a board already and only been playing 10 days.

I'm still not over it. I'm having withdrawal symptoms waiting for 2.1.0 to download :p

yay coming back to WoW. Except, I don't know what to roll. Debating between: hunter, warrior, druid or.... mage. What do you guys think? I want to pvp mainly, and I normally do solo pvp in the BGs. Maybe some 10 man raids and definetely heroics. I don't think I will have time for 25 man raids (maybe grull and mag).

Anyone have the MD5 sum for the 2.012 to 2.1 ENGB patch? I'm downloading from a mirror and I'd like to check against someone else

E11956EAAD99A3676F0588431E8234BC wow-partial-1.MPQ

59FAB75B61B911C53104F6BF3CD044A9 wow-partial-2.MPQ

That is all I can do for you. The Blizzard downloader downloaded that. :p

Edit: More coming apparently. Since I don't have an active subscription I haven't really bothered with patching any more than put the background downloader on. Don't want any 385 meg surprises when I start playing again. ;P

Edit 2: AD43CE65C0477F46307E371C5EA04C37 wow-final.MPQ

I think choice between those characters depends on where you want to be in a battle and the level of armor you want. Personally, I've been happiest with a Mage as I love the power of the magic they wield and like standing back in a battle, and have my main character as one. Only drawback of Mages is the lack of armor but being able to teleport between cities (for you or a group you're in) and conjure up water and food (saving buying them), as well as having the most destructive magic makes them my favorite character. Hunters and warriors are also great fun, but I like magic more than hand weapons.

Mages are great, but what do I know I have played one for 3yrs now :p

Hunters are awesome for PvP and level extremely fast, problem is they were not needed for alot of end game instances. Which sucked, but supposedly 2.1 was going to address that.

Druids: I love my druid, so fun to have a real option. Play a healer, and sit back and just heal all day, or play a warrior or rogue in cat/bear forms.. They are pretty easy to level considering the different forms, and the ability to heal yourself, but can get expensive on the armor side since you need to find 2 to 3 different sets of armor depending on what you want to do at the time. Great Hybrid though, and alot of fun to play.

I think I will make a mage. They are always wanted for DPS and CC and I do not like healing that much (hated it on my priest), and I don't know how wanted a cat druid would be.

Thanks for the help guys. Also, what spec would you recommend for a mage while leveling up? I got a mage to 34 or so previously, but I got bored as I just keep AOE grinding with frost.

I've tried twice, never reached level 40... mage is by far the most boring class ever made. :p

Feral druids can tank and tanks are rare. They're great through Karazhan (unless your horde where Nightbane > tremor totem). Past that the abilities of warriors make them prefered raid tanks. For all 5-man content druids are top tier. As DPS they are also quiet respectable assuming they're well played. Losing some CC sucks but that really doesn't matter until you're doing harder heroics anyway.

5/5 Arcane Missiles then go down frost for solo play. Frost bolt -> Arcane Missiles spam is brutally effective at low levels. It took me about 3 days played to get to 39 using something like this. Not ideal, but it did the job.

A 40 I started grouping with friends for instances regularly so I went full fire to spam scorch. With 150-200 spell damage at level 50?€”PvP rewards + a couple "of fiery wrath" greens and a couple of tailored pieces?€”I'm able to grind and group effectively.

In a couple of more levels we'll be heading to Outland and I'm thinking that a 3-minute mage build with spell power is the way to go as I expect a fair bit of PvP this time around.

In Burning Crusade Feral Druids are most popular, but really only for one thing: Tanking. (This is apparently all we can do if were Feral, not like myself doing decent DPS;)nd Off Healing) ;) My character JMann (70 Druid) I like to think I have 3 very decent sets of gear one for each type (Healing, DPS, Tanking) I have just started Karazhan got to the 3rd Boss Maiden at the moment and I am usually tanking and get the slight DPS spots sometimes.

Best Server, but still way to many Gold spammers. ;)

speaking off Gold spammers.. How is it now with the patch?

I had a buddy tell me yesterday that he got about 6, when I am on the same server and got 0.

I know usually in a normal day "pre-patch" I got around 25-30 gold spams

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      Cool. It definitely needed some work before

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
