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.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

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

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
