http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40257 - You only get 850 armor for that, not what it currently is when multiplied by Dire Bear Form.

[Minifig]

So our multipliers are going away?

Won't that make us less effective as tanks?!

[Sethos]

No, the multiplier on BONUS armour goes away, from Armour kits, trinkets etc.

No. You still have your multiplier and it's at a higher rate than what it was currently, you just are having less armor being multiply. Any ring/necklace/cloak/trinket that gives armor or any piece that gives +armor will not be mulitplied.

Unless your raiding heroic raids and have "best" in-slot item this won't affect you (should be roughly the same before/after change) as bad as it seems.

Did MC today. No one had the waters for Rag though, figures.. pugs.. bleh..

Highest Killshot Crit:

highest crit i have with kill shot is 9.7k. Was nice when seen it got a WWS some need to find it tho.

Some hunters have reported killshot critting for 10k+

Currently in heroic/badge gear with lvl70 badge legs and 2 lvl 70 rings. Im suprised kill shot did 9.7k. Im guessing when i get the giantmaim legs and upgrade rings i will be getting 10k+ aswell.

Its a shame about the nerfs coming in I have been on ptr and the steadyshot nerf in my rotations has dropped dps by 500 dps on the test dummies specced as BM. Survival is pretty good much better than BM but no where near as good as what BM is now (Before patch). Looks as if patch 3.0.8 will be the anti hunter patch and 3.1.0 will be the hunter buff patch with the ammo change etc

I'm in all 70 epics. Mix of s3/t6 and badge gear.

<Overachiever> is slowly growing. I've received countless tells applauding the name and theme. It's only a matter of time before the ball starts rolling.

Got the ambassador title tonight. Working on Loremaster.

Got the Thunderfury binding from Garr,, just need barons. :)

Got mine for my rogue last week from Garr on my 4th run, just need Baron's as well.

So I took the plunge again today. I re-opened my WoW account after 10ish months. I got a Wrath trial and I've been playing a death knight almost constantly for the last 10 days.

Anyone got any tips for death knight? Good builds and armor to get and so on? My current build at 67 is mostly blood with some points in frost and unholy. Tweaking this build here to my liking. So far all I've changed is Death Rune Master in place of Bloodworms.

I personally prefer unholy and pick up On A Pale Horse. Faster mount speed = faster questing. Unholy also seems speedier at killing and soloing elites.

My build. I just ditched bloodworms myself, since the little ******* seem to aggro everything for miles.

[leph555]

its good to be back on the bandwagon :)

I'll give it a shot, thanks!!

Finally hit 65 after one run through of The Slave Pens and Underbog. I tanked with my DK (spec'd pure Unholy) and did pretty well. The healer in my group did an amazing job of keeping my health above 4k while I pulled aggro. Unfortunately, nothing useful dropped for me. And I've yet to complete a certain dungeon quest titled "Lost in Action". It's by far the hardest quest I've ever attempted to complete.

[SMELTN]

are there still alot of people running those pre-WOTLK instances still or are people having a hard time finding groups?

[Slane]

I know I did a few heroics to finish out Outland Dungeon Hero achievement. I see people still doing them at 70 and while the level. Most of the time there is always at least one DK in the group. I expect when the patch is released and rep is the same regardless of your level they may be run a bit more. I need one more Slabs run to finish out Lower City rep, and like 5 more Mana-tombs for Consortium.

[I am Redbeard]

I've been trying to run all the old Heroics I for some reason didn't get the achievements for. I've only had luck once with a group who stuck around to clear two instances. Other than that that interest is pretty slim on my server.

[trag3dy]

Well I got to 69 tonight and decided I didn't want to wait until 70 before going to Northrend. My goal was to completely finish Outland quest wise before heading over. But I just finished Nagrand area and hit 69. I didn't really feel like going through three more areas of quests that I had already done on my mage way back when.

I've heard it's recommended because you get more gold. But when I hit 80, you get gold for the reward and gold for being max level as well. So if I ever get bored and go back and finish those areas up then it'll be even more worthwhile to do it then I think, and not to mention faster.

I'm really enjoying the dark knight so far! (Y)

I still have a couple of quests in Zangarmarsh plus a dungeon quest on my 65 DK. After that, I planned on heading to Nagrand to quest there. My friend suggested otherwise. He said it would be better to quest in Terokkar Forest. Should I take his advice?

Yeah, most likely. That's how you're intended to level through it I'm pretty sure. To me though Terokarr Forest is a dreadfully boring area. It seemed to go by so terribly slow. Though if I push it, and don't spend to much time messing with my UI I can clear an entire area in a day or so.

On another note, I just got to 70 on my DK and got my Axe of Frozen Death. My question: is Blood Presence better for a melee dps or Unholy Presence?

[I am Redbeard]

I too am back in Nagrand for the "Nagrand Slam" as well as Hemet's quests. I finished up Grizzly Hills, Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, Dragonblight and Shalozar Basin for the Loremaster of Northrend achievement. Before I head into the other Northrend zones I'm going back to the Outlands to finsh those.

I've completed over 276 quests in the past 2 days.

I achieved 1500 quests on the 7th, and now I'm at 1776.

I have learned to love questing! :D

Do you keep a bucket beside your desk, too?

No, there's a toilet less than 10 feet away though.

So I had an interesting experience today while trying to do a quest called "Help Those That Cannot Help Themselves".

The quest giver was giving me a Legendary sword that apparently does not exist, according to the GM I spoke with about my issue.

But it does exist... still haven't got the stupid quest done yet. I want the ring that I get at the end of the chain already. Sadly I can't even equip the sword, so it's less than useless. :pinch:

Private server is private.

FYI That quest is a the first of a 3 part quest chain in Northrend. Secondly the chance on hit is Thunderfury's and the stats, minus the +100 stats and speed of weapon, are usually found on Private servers. If you don't play legit, please stay out of this thread.
