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

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
