I've been working my tail off on working on Gnomergon Exile rep with my druid so I can have a robo-chicken.. I'm 2396 of 21,000 into it. :sleep: Don't forget you have to be exalted to buy the dang mount!

Pretty sure he was talking about the Blood Elf chickens... :D

I'm already an Ambassador of the Horde. :) So Gnomergon Exile can get you mechanical chickens, eh?

Yeah, they guy outside Silvermoon better not tell me my butt's too fat for his chickens anymore. :D

Hi, I'm a prot pally and I currently have a +50 spell power enchant to my sword. Is there a better enchant I should use? Seems like they changed the whole spell power thing for prot pallies. What doesn't make sense to me is that w/ my defense sword equiped, my concecrate ticks for about 350+. If I equip my spell damage (healing) mace (from H Nexus) my spell damage is higher, but my concecrate ticks for only about 320 or so. I know that because of my talents, I get spell damage as a percent of my stamina...but I don't see it making up that big of a difference.

In BC I had to have some spell damage in order to be a good pally tank, but this is obviously no longer the case. Has anyone found some good information on this and how I should balance my tanking stats?

Here is my armory page: http://us.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xm...e&n=Meshack

you do? oh snap! I though (probably hopefull reading) that all restrictiosn but yes it is just race restriction lol

Yes, you STILL have to be exalted.

Oh yeah I know.. but I was mentioning the fact that I've been working my own butt off on getting a new mount for my druid.

My dwarf is like the only guy who rides the Gnomer chickens. I can just see all the Dranie and Humans riding 'em now.

Accuracy, Titanium Weapon Chain, Mongoose or AP.

Yes, you STILL have to be exalted.

Yeah, I hear ya. I have too for my death knight. Been farming skyguard rep and I've spent a couple thousand gold this past week just on runecloth for rep turnins. My goal is to get the albino drake.

I've been 4 away since the day the 3.0 patch hit. Got the War Bear and the Stonekeeper Shard mount, and that puts me at two, and Ive been to lazy to bother buying any other mounts to get the Albino drake. Now with this patch and rep changes. I think I may just go kill some Ogre to finish out my Kur rep.

Question for tailors out there. I seen the patch notes said that the amount of Frostweave needed to make an imbued has been lowered..

Do we know by what amount yet?

reason I ask is I am at 4xx tailoring and have 100 bolts of frostweave in the bank jsut waiting for this to drop so I can make me more bags to get 450.

So I figured I'd give WoWMatrix a run and see what updates.

20 addons later and I'm running the latest versions of everything I run.

http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_3.0.8

Check out the changes that have been made in the latest patch. Some notable changes for the Death Knight include: Icebound Fortitude offers 20% damage reduction instead of 50%. Same thing with Bone Shield, 20% from 40%. There's some good improvements for the Death Knight though.

Most of the changes to DK include: beefing up blood dps, nerfing some oh **** buttons but beefing frost presence to better smooth out DK mitigation, removing most of the negative effects of glyphs, bringing dw down closer to 2h dps, some buffs and fixes to some abilities.

Nothing too big. There's some crappy things that have gone in, but nothing too major. Mostly just a refinement. At least we aren't getting nerfed like some classes.

Blizz fails hard. Northrend is completely unplayable. There's a bug when WG ends that causes Northrend to crash. When Northrend comes back up, WG is restarted and the process repeats... Not to mention I also found several other bugs that are pretty crappy.

This has been one of the worst patch days in a long time.

Wintergrasp is now offline. I never saw anyone playing it after the first week anyway.

man so I hear holy priests are pretty ****ed off.. What other nerfs happened?

Yup. Shouldn't have added the CD. Could have simply lowered the effiecent from +healing on it. But the CD totally blows. I dunno even want to see what Malygos will be like.

Wintergrasp is now offline. I never saw anyone playing it after the first week anyway.

Anytime you had high lag, Wintergrasp was going on. Since they disabled it, my latency staying at 100ms, when it was in battle it would be around 400, and when it was just up it hovered between 100 and 250 constantly.

Is that what was causing it? Yuck. They can leave it offline, then. ;)

I haven't set foot in a BG since level 70 because they took all the useful rewards away.

Your server must be pretty boring. Even being horde on an alliance dominated server, Wintergrasp is still very popular with both factions. It's quite common to see 1-2 raid groups on both factions in Wintergrasp on my server.

    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat. These two titles are up for grabs until next Thursday, but if they are not up to your taste, you can always check out the latest Weekend PC Game Deal issue, which is usually full of discounts and specials that let you save a lot of money on new games.

The bundle space expanded with two more collections from Humble this week too. The June 2unes bundle is up first, carrying plenty of rhythm games.
