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.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      Thanks for the info, but I'm still not sure if I need this....
    • We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager

      By Steven P. · Posted

      We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk; I figured it could offer some neck pain relief. What's in the box: SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager Rechargeable Battery (inside massager) Type-C USB cable User Manual Quick Start guide 1-Year Warranty In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official listing, here are the key features: Biomimetic Kneading & High Torque Motor: Designed with innovative biomimetic kneading heads that perfectly simulate the touch of human hands. Powered by a high-torque motor, this massager delivers powerful and precise deep tissue relief to effectively target stiff neck muscles and release built-up tension Soothing Heat & Integrated Sound Relaxation: Experience the ultimate Relaxationation with our dual-action approach. The soothing heat function gently warms your neck, while the built-in sound Relaxation provides calming audio tracks, helping you achieve a state of mindfulness and mental tranquility during your physical massage Cordless Convenience & Travel-Ready & Father's Day Gifts: Crafted for maximum portability and ease of use. Its lightweight, cordless design allows you to enjoy a premium massage anywhere without the hassle of tangled wires-whether you're taking a quick break at your desk or winding down at home Versatile Relief for Home & Office: An essential wellness companion for office workers, gamers, frequent travelers, or anyone looking to integrate mindfulness into their daily routine. It seamlessly fits into your lifestyle, providing instant neck relief whenever and wherever you need it Safe & Premium Materials: Manufactured with high-quality, skin-friendly materials to ensure a safe and comfortable experience without irritation. SKG backs this device with dedicated customer service, making it a thoughtful tech-health gift for family and friends App & Bluetooth Music Control: Connect via Bluetooth to control your massage settings through the dedicated app and enjoy your favorite music during your massage session for a fully customizable and immersive relaxation experience Red Light Warmth Technology: Features advanced red light warmth technology that penetrates deep into neck muscles to enhance blood circulation and provide soothing comfort while relieving muscle tension and stiffness Design With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. SKG does not say what materials are used to make the neck massager. However, on the product website, it mentions "soft-touch silicone" with what looks like PU leather cushioning, with the rest being mostly made up of plastics. On the inside of the massager, there are two "biomimetic kneading heads" that are motorized for the different styles of massage, which are not actually listed at all in the paper user manual, but the standard included modes are: De-stress mode, Mediation mode, Relax mode, Shiatsu mode. The massager looks quite premium and is actually very comfortable to wear. This massager is small and light enough to go anywhere, as it doesn't get in the way of anything, so I was able to use it in the chair while writing this review. Unlike the back massager, SKG does not warn in the user guide not to use it for more than 30 minutes a day (or two 15-minute sessions). However, there is a long laundry list of important safeguards to consider before and during the use of the device, and it is warned that the neck massager is not waterproof. It also includes a 1,400mAh battery with a rated power of 14W and input of 5V, which is the standard for up to USB 3.0 power (although the Amperage is not mentioned at all). SKG does not say how long it takes to charge, but a quick calculation at 2A (if that is what it is) would mean it would take roughly 1.5 hrs to charge from empty. In any case, the light around the button changes from orange to green on a full charge. In addition, it is not possible to use the device while it is charging. On the right of the neck massager is the On/Off and modes button, which also acts as a joystick. You can operate all the modes directly from the power button, as well as the app, which I'll get into a bit later: Push up: Short press to adjust Heat levels On/Off button: long press Mode Switching: Short press (while in operation) ➕ Push left: increase Music volume ➖ push right: decrease Music volume Push down: Short-press to turn Music on or off The massager defaults to De-stress mode, and it is not stated anywhere if the neck massager has overheat protection. This time around, regarding heat, the only detail I could find is that it has "triple action soothing heat." The temperature stages are not listed anywhere in the paper manual, Amazon listing, or official website. The heat levels can be adjusted through the app or directly on the device using the joystick button. Usage There's also the SKG Health app, which makes using the massager far easier than feeling around for the button on the side of your neck. If the app is stopped, you are required to log in with a verification code over email, which I am not too pleased with, as this means it will only work that way for however long SKG decides to support it through said app. However, I was not able to get the app to connect to the OS500, which I have reported back to my contact. Bluetooth appeared to be working on the neck massager as it became available to pair with my phone, but the SKG app failed to discover it. Before I forget, there's also a switch next to the USB charging port to deactivate and activate the Voice Prompt, which, when enabled, audibly tells the user when switching intensities, modes, or connecting to the app and informs when the massages start and are completed. That said, on to my likes and dislikes, which are listed below. What I didn't like Unable to connect the Neck Massager to the app Use through the mobile app relies on continued support from SKG What I liked Can be used without the app Cordless use Light and comfortable to wear Heat is also quite comfortable Where to buy: According to the official website, this has an MSRP of $249.99, but is currently $50 (on Amazon). To sweeten the deal a bit more, there's also an in-page coupon that knocks a further $20 off the price. SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager for $179.99 on Amazon (was $199.99) Apply the in-page $20 off coupon for the final price of $179.99 Just like the back massager, this gets a confused thumbs up (due to the cost). However, I cannot rate it through app usage as it failed to connect. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
