beta is so laggy during the starting quests for DK's it takes around 5 hours to finish them all instead of teh 40 minutes or so it would really take lol.

Come live realms that,ll be "fixed up" i.e 10 times worse. Still my DK`s gonna be my alt. Maybe use him to run 10mans in a small mates of mates guilds.

Nov 13th here I come got a week off work to lvl 80.

Just need to find a UK stocker of the C.E. Version of WOTLK now.

So did Kara Tuesday for badges. King's Defender drop. I took it to replace sun eater. And I called it out to my guildmates, Brutalizer will drop Friday night. So I threw Mongoose on Kings and low and behold, just downed Supremus and what drops. None other than Brutalizer. Had the mongoose enchant already ready for it, slap it on. Glad to have the expertise from it, so it's time to get the bracers from Naj to replace Ancient Phalanx and get some more avoidance.

Epic shot. A little upgrade to his gear would be nice. :)

Sorry but he is only a lvl 10 so not much i can do there for now...

My highest is only a lvl 66 mage and she doesn't have epic gear yet

might have to take some ss in BRD over the next few days... brewfest is running

need to get me a ram

Easy fight.

Just burn him, ignore everything else, or have one dps burn the non-elite (7kish health), ignore the sisters (28k health) appear at 75 and 35%. 0-16 so far. :( Just wana Kodo, I got every trinket (spare the two stm ones) and the slower Emerald Ripper.

Anyways, think I got my spec nearly down pact. Gotta work some more kings out and see what happens though. Going to wait till after this raiding weekend and re-copy my guy over there in case I get any more upgrades and see how I do.

I have a couple questions to those who know drood tanking:

I'm going to be tanking instances with my friends to try and level from 70 to 80. Here is the build i plan on using at 70 (once new talents roll out).

Is there anything that I should change?

I plan on rolling Resto after I ding to 80 using this build, is that good as well?

Thanks in advanced

Noone knows? :cry:

Can't edit anymore.

This is it. Was thinking about taking the two out of improved charge (those are just there to get to impale) and finish out Improved thunderclap, and get 2/2 bloodrage and then put 1 into warbringer if it proves worthwile. Otherwise I like this above spec, only thing is I really wish I could get 3/3 improved thunderclap.

So 7 real days into my recruit a friend levelling and I'm at level 50 with my mage+priest. Not bad since I haven't had friends running me through instances. :D I did ZF last night, and excluding XP from the run, the quests literally brought in 150k exp per character, and then the run was about another level on top of that. I keep saying this but it's freaking ridiculous how fast you level.

This is with that new leveling thing they brought out right, were you get a free mount and all that other stuff, correct?

Other then that sounds like your leveling at an insane pase, I was keen to do that with my mate but they brought out the thing after he had got a account like two weeks after it came out :( ..

I just started a rogue the other night, I want to see how this will turn out. What made me really wont to roll a Rogue was that there DPS with the correct get is very consistant quite like a warlock, they can just keep going and going without the worry of running out of mana... like my mage :pinch:

I would have made a lock over a rogue but I just cant be bothered with rolling another caster again.

The upside to a rogue is that in this new patch coming out.. 3.0 there going to be so overpowered (well I think they will be)

Im sure you have seen these already but I mean come on there just that good...

Rogue

* Rogues will now deal an additional 50% damage to stunned targets.

* Rogues will no longer have Sprint, Vanish or Crippling Poison abilities.

* Players will now be able to target Rogues and select a Pick Lockbox option to have the Rogue automatically open all lockboxes in their inventory.

* The reagent cost on Blind has been changed. Blind will now require Blinding Powder, Fel Lotus, 20 gold and a Splinter of Atiesh to use.

* The tooltip for Hemorrhage has been updated to inform the player that it is terrible for raiding.

Notes from http://blue.cardplace.com/newcache/us/75473049.htm

Im still thinking if I wont to keep the rogue warlock does sound tempting but another caster :s

Oh what to play, anyone got any pointers or tips they would like to add feel free to :)

As another 'RAF' data point: preparing for WoTLK a few people in my guild are re-rolling. A handful of people have managed to hit 60 in less than 1 day /played.

Now I wish I hadn't vendored my splinters :(

Roll a Tank or healer roque. Given that world+dog is going to roll a deathknight, a healer is probably a good choice. ;)

Only advice I have: grab a set of vendor level 1 gear and enchant it with runspeed, agility, nethercleft leg armor, and grab a couple of daggers with fiery weapon. Level 1 vendor loot doesn't become soulbound when equipped so you can use it to start leveling any melee class. With enchanted vendor gear you more-or-less 2-shot mobs all the way to about level 10. From there you can run your new character through dungeons on your main whenever you feel like their gear needs some updating.

The battleground weapons are always a good choice for a rogue. Whenever you get near the top of a bracket, go play a few games and pick up the new one. Fiery weapon is dirt cheap and almost as good as lifestealing/crusader as far as DPS is concerned.

Lol!! Its so true every man and his dog are going to be rolling DK's its just going to be a joke.

I probily would consider a healer but I have had a 2.1k heals Shammy in the past. Loved healing but im not to sure if I wont to go with another healer, a pally would be nice but there just a hastle to level, priest is not to bad but I mean its going to take sometimes..

Haha im taking the easy way out and just leveling something that is quick and easy :pinch:

WotLK release will be the perfect time to level a healer or dps. Tons of people will be going through Outlands wanting to do quests and instances. Just gotta get them to 60 or so before release.

Well when the 3.0.x patch hits live (before wotlk) they've reduced the XP required from 60->70 too.

You only get the free [terrible looking] mount if you pay for 2 months; I'm just using the 30 days that comes with the original game then moving the 2nd char to my primary account. I also forgot to mention that I'll have earnt 30 or so gift levels when I hit 59 so I can get a 3rd char (I have about 6 or so in their 30s since years ago) to 60 as well using those.

And yeah, if you have a friend power level you through instances it's easily possible to get to 60 in a single played day. Soloing takes a bit longer though (I'm not trying to be the quickest either).

Just a tip: If you're applying to a guild, especially one well beyond your current level of progression please

take time to fill out their application. Behold this gem from our recruitment forums (names removed to

protect the innocent). You'd also do well not to make yourself look like an complete goon.

    • 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 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.

    • 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 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.
