Grats Adam!

I'm not looking forward to the prices of Elementium ore (or bars for that matter) once I finally get my left binding. Might try to convince some guildies to run BWL for the hell of it. Few people want the legendary 2h mace so it shouldn't be too hard to get some people to tag along.

But mine does more damage and has more Intellect which I'm told I need for a mage.

Yes but the first one listed adds to spell power, which you'd want as a mage. Losing 5 intellect over the spell power increase, that would be up to you I guess.

Maybe someone can help me find what I'm looking for. Before (about 10 or 11 months ago) when I was playing, there was an addon that gave you very distinct visual cues for triggers you set up. The triggers could be just about anything like for example, as a mage I had one set up for clear casting. So when clear casting was active it would put a giant white ! above my characters head. The images weren't regular old icons, but special graphics and you can use any combination of them.

Anyways..going by my horrible description I'm hoping someone knows what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction.

Edit: I found it. It's called Power Auras Classic encase anyone is interested.

Grats. How long between bindings? Mine took around 362 days between them back when we were raiding MC.

congrats..

we're talking old school here, but I remember back in the day that a guildie got it first on our server

a little pink hair female gnome named lilboo

we weren't even a raiding guild heh, but both binding dropped for him in 2 weeks and 2 high end raiding guilds "loaned" us the mats so we could complete it

I took video of the thundarian?? boss

first time around he got bugged and had to fight him again.. quick fight

Its hard to find a decent group to pug with on my server and at the moment with not everyone nax ready in the guild we are not to doing guild runs. So when a friend of mine from another guild invited me to a guild run of Nax heroic i just could not turn it down! Ill be honest on nax normal i have only ever seen Patchwerk, the first pug i was with couldnt get past grobb whatever. The second pug i was with only got upto the 4 horsemen in the other quarter and called it there. So really going into a 25 man heroic i was not sure what to expect.

Overall it was really good We only did the The Arachnid Quarter and wiped once unfortunatly on the second boss due to a mess up with tactics, but second try all was resolved and it was a clean kill. Unfortunatly no hunter drops Boo!

At the time i was not specced in BM 50/21 Which is the Over powered readdiness build and got joint top dps (if not top dps by 21) alongside a hunter with a Strange MM Spec (0/68/3 i think). He did have better gear than i did but i was still suprised that i could keep up with him. Im confident that if he was using the norm 11/53/7 spec then he would have left me for dust. At the moment i have Badge/Heroic gear and still have 3 pieces of level 70 gear (2 rings and 1 trinket, been really unlucky on rolls :( ) I think we might be going to a different quarter tonight so just for fun I have specced 50/21 to see how that will effect my DPS. I thought i would give it a go just before the nerf bat hits.

Few Screenies.

Nax Readings before i reset them for the 25man VoA run.

Then we did VoA.

Heres VoA with my highest recorded killshot yet of 11.6k

Tryed to do a VoA run last night. Ended up 22 manning it, because the other two dps wanted a summons if though there isn't any (how do people not now this about VoA yet?). Ended up wiping as soon as it said "Server rest in 1 minute", at 20k health, when he enraged and hit me for 120k with shield wall up. So spent the next 30 minutes attempting to protect Wintergrasp, ended up losing with 4 minutes left. So just did Sarth instead.

Noveed: I love your interface! What addons are you using?

its basically this interface

http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7975-HalsUIv8.html

but i have modified it ever so slightly i have a 1280x800 monitor and not many interfaces support that size. All i done with my own is just move and adjust the bars about a bit to make it look like in the screenshots. It is still a work in progress there are aspects i still dont like about it.

Did nax 25 man again, continued from last night and it was a shambles from my own end, Lag was so unbearable the server would constantly kick, my fps would also drop down to 1 and i would disconnect again. This so called fix that will come in patch 3.0.8 better do the trick. What makes things worse is Virgin Media Network problems in my area which only affect ME. No one else in the street has reported slow speeds apart from me and according to them if 50 people do not report an issue then there isnt one. Not happy about it either way.

Join the club, we did a join 25 man naxx due to a couple of people falling ill it was f-ing horrific. We were getting 800ms pings while one shotting the bosses there would be large pauses and a tonne of button mashing afterwards to keep the raid up. The worst was the ice blocks in Kel. Lost 4 people to them!

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By snowy owl · Posted

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
