Athene was definitely boosted throughout most of 1-70, so I dont see how its worth mentioning tbh. :cool:

Speaking of quick leveling, in my opinion guides have become redundant. Just get QuestHelper or Lightheaded and you wont even need to alt-tab out of WoW.

QuestHelper even shows your quest nodes on the map, and creates routes which will result in quickest quest completion.

Brian Kopp as well I found. Which is what I might use because it's Alliance.

I find that Alliance are so much easyer to level then horde. Maybe its because im new to horde or something, but it seems like im taking way longer than it should to level..

On Alliance I can get to 70 very very fast, never used a leveling guide. I just knew where to go all the time, myself built guide as you could say.

Last Alliance I got to 70 in /played 8days 10hours and something minutes. Thats my record time, I would be tempted to try and make it sorter, but I do not have the real life time to commit to another toon as I just started horde, but I might try again on Horde once my memory is refreshed :D

So I started a rogue today. My second one, the previous one was kinda screwed up (leveled without poisons for example and powered through them at 60). I figure they are good in pvp/BGs and can handle themselves well in solo questing as well. Should be fun trying it the second time around with the experience I have already.

If you liked Rogue.... why not try a feral cat druid this time instead of a 2nd rogue. Similar but different experience and I loved it more than rogue!

yeah I have a 70 druid and now making a rogue.. Leveling a druid is awesome, since you get most of the rogue abilities as a cat, with the increased running speed which really helps doing quests, on top of the ability to tank in bear, and heal yourself.

A druid that does BGs as feral fails at life =)! Resto or go home

People who use the phrase "fails at life" generally fail to see that it doesnt matter what class or spec you play as long as you play it well. Just because popular opinion says a class shud be "x" spec doesnt make it a universal truth.

End of the day if you wanna play Feral in BG`s then go and by all means have fun, if you think your suckin hard and fast then by all means try resto or even god forbid balance, but dont cow-tow just because a bunch of forum posters tell you to.

I just dinged 70 :):):)

Pally / Horde on Bladefist :)

Grtz! :)

@Colicab: I agree completely

You many never hit 2200+ rating as feral but if you're having fun and doing pretty well at it then by all means enjoy your GAME.

I hate when people try to pigeonhole classes and builds :(

You guys should read up on the statistics the Lead Dev released about 3 weeks ago.

Druids play 217% of wanted classes based on the arena. 100% being the optimum amount. I bet 98% of the druid census is resto. They are less desired in 5s teams though :p

Dont get me wrong, I'm all for having fun...

"You" bet that 90%, well it aint hard to see why. Also we were talking about Bgs, now Arena stats? Again this is all irevelant as if you play your class well theres no reason why you wont hit 2000+ ratings.

Plus what does being a sheep and speccin Resto for your arena matches get you? Easy win? No thanx. I play a pally and i play retribution, Ive been told about 100 times that im useless in arena and shud spec holy for fights. This from people who think they are giving me sound advice by tellin me to spec a diff tree as its what xx% others use or because theyve heard it on forums or other sites.

Like I say what it boils down to is playing a class/spec and playing it well. ANY* Class and spec can work in Arena, it just might require a bit more skill to do so.

*By ANY I dont mean idiots who spec 31/0/20 and think there imba balance versions of there class"

Anyone that is starting a new character read this: Only last night I found a new mod called 'Quest helper' its a mod that thinks for you, tells you the best route to take to were your heading to, tells you what order you should do your quests in. This is the best leveling mod in the world, and I only found out last night ><.

Go to google and type in quest healer and its the first link which takes you to Curse gaming.com

From there download it and put it in the wow interface folder under addons. Like they say " once you get leveling pack you'll never go back"

But you'll never hit the top. Unfortunately.

This from people who think they are giving me sound advice by tellin me to spec a diff tree as its what xx% others use or because theyve heard it on forums or other sites.

Or it could be that the PvP is tacked on and horribly broken in wow. So in such small arenas therefore certain rock paper scissor builds excel over other classes and builds.

Like I say what it boils down to is playing a class/spec and playing it well. ANY* Class and spec can work in Arena, it just might require a bit more skill to do so.

I'm sure a mage in every tree could work in an arena against the right opponents. But there is a damn good reason the top 1000+ are dominated by the same group make up no matter what blizz try to 'fix'.

As you can tell I'm quite bitter by the changes blizz keeps making to PvE to accommodate the dire PvP system. :)

Spookie hit the nail on the head. To succed far in PvP you need certain specs and class combos. Sucks that way but its the truth.

Get full S3 as feral and I'll **** myself.

I could not agree more with you, arena is all about the combo, having the spec and gear, also having the skill and knowledge over your opposition. just the way it works and you cant argue with that.

Also to get full S3 in feral I would like to see that too lol, i believe that feral fails in arena resto all the way !!!

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
