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.

    • You're absolutely right! No reason in hell these should be on the road!
    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event.
