boo for being alliance =P

Pffft.

:p

I have been Horde before, but I couldn't get used to the Horde main cities - I just prefer Ironforge/SW.

My friends play on Alliance as well.

I like Undead though :(

I had to farm 2x Elemental Water, Air, Fire and Earth earlier for a chestpiece through Tailoring - Took ages, awful drop rates ftl (N)

I'm going to level either a Druid or a Paladin to 60/70 next I think (Y)

ps. UI questions answered on last page (210).

Well you have probably already been made fun of for being a DPS Paladin. Just look at it this way, as a tank paladin you _just_ might get into a group lol.

Thats it promote a BS stereo type. I get plenty of groups and respect as DPS pally. My guild wouldnt have me raid as anything else, not when im doing just aswell as the rest of the melee group in raids, bringing buffs and prvovide a group wide +2%damage. Oh and lets not forget being able to refresh Seals on bosses, i.e Judgement of Wisdom, Light and of The Crusader, giving Mana regen, Health regen and +3% crit to all targets attack the boss or mob.

Trust me if ANYONE says Ret pallys are crap or cant dps then there talking out of backwards facing ass. In lower tiers, i.e Kara/t4 your probs gonna have a hard time as you wont be amazing dps until your into maybe t5 or equiv gear. Also remember a retadin really needs a good melee dps group to be most effective. We always try to have a combo of atleast 1 of each of the following in the melee group, Me(ret), Warrior, Shammy, Druid if you got all thos then you got yourself one hell of a melee group.

Im currently pushing about 1.2-1.4k on trash and on VR about the 1k dps. Got BT tomoz , forst go there but Im told that as of Bt/Hyj Retadin becomes a rogue beater in some fights. Espec as its really only in later stages of BT you get the ideal Ret weps (likewise with Horde RetaBelfs).

IMHO and this isnt a dig at anyone here, but if you are Ret generally its younger and immature players who will give you grief, tho I dont get much tbh. Maybe odd joke from a guildy but its all in good taste. Mind you the amount of welfare epic equipped Retanabs in Bgs is sickening, but hell it always has been.

I say grow a backbone and PVE for your Retribution!!!

Btw this is my retadin - http://armory.wow-europe.com/character-she...eam&n=Chuck

Not the best gear by anymeans, but if you can get it to near this level then your sorted for raiding SSC/TK and into Hyj/BT

Excuse tge spelling etc in this Im very tired been playing Heroic Magisters all night

Get DST. Then make a post on realm forums, and see how hard you get trolled/flamed/world ends posts. A pally on my server did it, one of the funniest threads I read. Retadin's are awesome, just like Colicab said need a melee group and starts to shine at the T5 stage of raiding.

Well, I re-installed WoW on my MacBook last night.

Do I dare take the plunge again?

Well, you didn't do that for no reason did you? :p

Unless of course you were bored, and wanting to fill up some hdd space ;)

So.. we cleared to Kalec both Weds and Thurs, trash was not a problem after we figured out how to do it, ALTHOUGH running back after wiping on Kalec we seem to always have that 1 retard who isn't paying attention and manages to pull a robot.... BTW that AOE chain they do has a RIDICULOUS radius on it....lol.. We got Kalec down to 62% and Demon down to 75%.. Not to bad will try again next week, now its back to Hyjal and BT.

Our server (Stonemaul US Central PVP) got to 4% into Phase2 around 8pm est last night. I can't wait for the repair guys :p

Evn I know EXACTLY what you mean, now that the attunements have been lifted and our guild is only the 2nd Horde guild to down Illidan on our server, we are getting apps from a TON of randoms, in ALL S1 PVP gear, or in blues, with HORRIBLE socket selection.. I mean I know you have to start somewhere, and I know they aren't in guilds now that have the opportunity to get T5-6, but at least take the time to find out the best gear and socket selection you have access too, its way to easy to do now.

Here are some good sites to start:

http://www.jesta.us/gems/index.php - Good site for looking up Gems

http://www.manoutoftime.org/staticpages/index.php/tcom - Great Mage theorycrafting Site

http://be.imba.hu/ - Neat Gear check site. Gives you suggestions on upgrades/sockets/enchants.

We've got one Alliance guild with Kalecgos down, I suspect they'll get Brutallus this reset too.

I don't want to talk about Sunwell trash: it's depressing. Not only do those stupid robots have huge range on the lightening, it also ignores line-of-site and probably instance boundaries too. I'm fairly sure I could be standing in Shat. and still get hit by it.

Tripple loot is crap. Last week Double Vanquisher form nearly everything we killed. This week: Tripple Vanquisher. One of the feral druids is working on his moonkin set now.

On a positive note: A good friend finally got the off-hand warglaive for his rogue: excellent (he never got to finish Thunderfury so I'm really hoping next reset yields the mainhand).

Alot of ppl have said levelling a druid is fun, but I dunno I must be missing something I got to lvl 10 and just wasnt feeling anything. Actually thats a lie, I feel this is a very "beatnik" type character. All nature loving n stuff. Made me feel dirty.

I don't understand how anyone can use the default health bars. They're so ugly and uninformative.

I actually like them. While you can't really put heaps of information on them, I have a mod called Percent which as you may guess just puts health percentages on they're as good as any other. I've tried Pitbull and all those other ones but I keep coming back to the default.

Oh, also we killed Kalecgos first attempt of our 2nd night. We tried him on PTR and his health has been significantly reduced since then so it was rather easy. Working on Brutallus atm, our best attempt was 12% when we hit the enrage timer and then later 56% half way to enrage but we wiped.

The post 2.4 pre-made PVP crying on the forums is priceless. <3.

Yeah, the 100s or so people complaining on the forums about premade queue times doesn't reallly consider the thousands of people who can now enjoy queueing solo, without running against a premade 9/10 games. That said I haven't had any problems with queue times while queueing with a couple of friends, or even a group of 5.

Agreed, nothing worse than going to do your daily pvp quest, only to get a pre-made 9/10 matches then loose the 10th match to pug. Espec when your only playing some pvp to pass time till raid. Lets face it 10 or so matches each 15-30mins long just to get 10g and 400 honour sucks.

Daily Q`s shudnt be mammoth tasks and tbh theres been a few folk in my guild who have sat for 2-3hrs playing Wsg/Ab (not really AV) just to get a daily q done.

    • 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.
