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

    • Not ok - WINRAR   HAHAHAHAHAHAH 
    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
