Gotta agree with ya Evn, can't wait for the reset, and this time I plan on trying to keep real life squared so I can get into a steady raiding guild from the start, instead of months behind like I did in BC. Maybe then I'll be able to see further content.

And ya really think my gear would let me perform there? I know Imba and other sites like the such, but I didn't believe it to much, figured I could handle T5 with no problem, but wasn't sure about T6. Anyways one of the guilds on my server just had a tank quit, trying to join that guild. There 4/5 and 4/9(or 5) so I dunno if they would take me, since people see 3 piece T4 and normally shoot me down right away.

We do pug BT/Hyjal on alts with gear roughly equal to that.

The really hard hitting bosses will tear you apart: Azgalore, Shatterer (paladin on coucil: whatever his name is) and maybe Bloodboil?I've never healed tanks on that so I can't say.

Other than that nothing in there hits terribly hard. You might have issues putting out appropriate threat and you'll definetly suck down more heal attention than somebody in Full tier 5 but the deficit isn't so great that your raid would lack the gear to do it. I think a lot of people forget that when attunement was required for Tier 6 most guilds only killed Vashj/Kael 2 or 3 times before leaving those zones forever, or at least until recruitment forced them back.

Back then there was no ZA, Season 2 weapons were the best available weapon for most people (s3 point selling wasn't in full swing yet). Even the badge gear sucked: you couldn't get things like Runed Spell-cuffs never mind the ridiculous things on the Isle of Quel'Denas. To say that anything like Full Tier 5 is required to make reasonable progression in Tier 6 is a combination of ignorance and bad play. Then there's the fact that gearing somebody is absolutely trivial for any raid-oriented guild.

Well got in a guild on my server in Hyjal/BT. Dunno if I'm doing something wrong or if my gear is preventing me, but I can do a steady 900-1k TPS, and they were asking for 1.4-1.7k TPS. I dunno how I could get that high, without more hit and/or SBV. Using the SS, Rev, Dev, Dev rotation. I dunno, hate feeling like the new kid and being all nervous.

hey Xilo what bar texture are you using for your player/target frames?

I'm not too sure really. I'm using Alekk UI from wowinterface with a bunch of my own mods and tweaks.

Andrew I am a HUGE ACE fan, and I use skillet.. Its awesome.

DO NOT use that version of skillet. It hasn't been updated in forever and is buggy as hell. Use the one from http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=12781.0

I agree evn. My Paladin hit 70 a few weeks ago and I couldnt get in a heroic or anything. No one runs the regular non heroics anymore so I cant really improve my gear. Luckily I had my guild that ran my scrubby alt through kara and now he's approaching 1500 healing and can pretty much do any heroic/instance.

With me leveling my shaman at a fast pace, due to a decreased intreset in tanking, I'm afriad to hit 70, because those same problems run rampart on my server. I got friends all completly outgear it so I can come in as dps, and get badges/gear pretty quick, but those times I need to PuG just don't happen, or *I* get the guys, that when you inspect and look at talents/gear selection you feel yourself die inside.

I was complaining about this whole bit in guild chat the other day: We're going to do all greens kara.

Hit the AH, buy a full set of greens gear (of the champion, of the physician, etc) and clear the zone using only what drops as we go.

I'll see if we can get a video made.

In the thread, they are attachments. Might need to register. I actually prefer the lilsparky branch than the one linked above. He at least has an active thread on the forum and is implementing new features/bug fixes. The original author of Skillet is awol and the only thing getting updated that I know of are minor bug fixes by someone else. It's not really good to mess with people's stuff on the SVN, so really there's not much else people can do with the original branch.

There's a post sort of like this on another forum site with Desktop screenshots, that gets regular traffic and has several thousand posts. Who knows, maybe this will be the WoW version of that thread. I just figured it'd be nice to have one place to show off your character and achievements. I'll start by posting a few of my lvl 48 Blood Elf Paladin.

Making my way through Searing Gorge

Waterfall in Maraudon

The Gator Boss of Maraudon with one of his buddies who got in the way.

The farting boss, of all the attacks they could've made up, a giant farting AOE...funny nonetheless

Not the place I'd want to get locked up.

Edit: If this thread already exists, I apologize, but I did a search and nothing came up.

Anyone care to offer two cents on something?

I'm currently a level 117 paladin blacksmith. I'm.. sort of happy doing it.

However.. I was looking over engineering and it looks like it'll be more profitable, and more fun.

What's better for a paladin to take in the long run?

With BS its best to look at the plans that drop from the 25man raids, hell plans in general.

I used to be a BS but I switched as Ive found selling BOE Gear a bit tricky as a BS. Im now an Eng and love my mount and helm. Farmin motes with your Mote Extractor is easy tho and nets a great deal of gold.

BS = If you wanna gear up easier

Eng = Money / Fun toys

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

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
