so for those of you running Windows7 and WoW.. question... Are you able to pin wow to your taskbar and if so, does it show up as a seperate icon when you open it? or does it open in the existing icon like firefox, or ie, etc does?

Because for me its showing as a seperate icon on my superbar

Sometimes these quests depress me. I'm following this guide, leveling fast as all hell, then I have to be in this area where everything rapes the crap out of me. I get attacked by 3 or 4 mobs, die 5 times, have to run all over God's creation, so I just close the game. Ballbags.

Who is on Firetree here?!

I'm a level 55 Frost Mage, should I be doing a lot of damage? Is that what my class specializes in, damage? I did an instance last night and was 2nd out of 5 for most damage. I seem to kill things extremely quickly, too.

Also, if I have 2 pieces, one says "Increases spell power by 15" and one says "Increases Frost spell power by 24" what should I take? Frost obviously?

As frost you aren't about being a glass cannon on damage wise Bawx... Your spec is survivability.. So don't expect insane numbers.

And yeah of course spell dmg is all spells, including healing now.. And frost dmg is just frost dmg.. It all depends on which has the best stats as far as int/stam... Along with the spell power..

I mean at level 55 you are going to replace that gear in 2-4 lvls anyways.

Frost is pretty good damage and has good solo survivability. If you want top damage though, generally the fire tree or frost fire spec provides the top DPS I think.

Depends. In this case, yes take the frost spell power one. If the majority of the dps spells you cast are from one tree, it's safe to take the specific spell power increases.

Anyone notice any change in Sapp since 3.08A?

We went in after the 3.08 patch and had no problems using a Priest, Shaman, Holy Pally to heal it. This week we went in with the same setup and same healers that have always gone and just got completly smashed. Everyone was avoiding chill, drain life was being decursed within a second or so of it being cast and raid was staying spread out for Ice Bolts. But no matter what the aura seemed to kill us. Like it was ticking far faster and hitting alot harder even with the Frost Aura (this is only 10 man) on everyone.

I'm at a lost as to what gives.

Beat him last Thursday and he seemed the same as always.

My guild just beat him for the first time on 10 man. Had 200~ FrR and a druid, paladin, and priest healing.

Noticed this last night when our guild ran it on 10m. We never ran with any frost resist gear and just had our pally's put up FR aura. Needless to say with the same exact group make up that we usually bring outside of one different person as a dps, we could not down Sapph. Prior to this we had been clearing Naxx without any problems. Looks like I'll be crafting a lot of FR rings.

ATI Card owners, dont upgrade to Catalyst 9.1, it will cause WoW to crash frequently.

Hmm i was using drivers from November and the Catalyst from then. And when i was playing wow i was blue screening when i went in to Un'goro Crater. I updated to the latest and it has been fine there again i haven't tried goign back to Un'goro yet for fear of a bluescreen lol

For whoever asked about Win7 and WoW - yes I also get two icons in task bar if I pin the icon.

Also - got my first Tier 7.5 today! So happy coz my guild is only a casual raiding guild, but we decided to run 25man Naxx and yeah, downed Kael and got my helmet along with other pretty spanky gear :)

Only thing that sucked was spending 2000g for Beserker mats for my 2 new daggers, along with enchants for my new gloves, belt and boots lol.

If anyone on blackrock wants to send me 2000g for the hell of it, feel free :p

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
