I finished "The Seeker" and "Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms". Only 302 quests left to do in Kalimdor. The last 50 of Loremaster was a pain in the ass, and I'm hoping Kalimdor won't be so bad, since I'll have so many options to do quests. But after spending an entire weekend grinding out the horrible Eastern Kingdom quests, I just can't bring myself around to quest anymore.

So I decided to load up wow on my mac.. HOLY COW!!!! I have been downloading patches for a day now. lmao.

On my windows machine I have it backed up, so whenever I reformat or whatever, I just copy it back over from my backup drive.. But of course I needed the mac version, so I had to download and then get all the patches..

I want to see how it runs on my mac. I heard it has a few features for mac like in game mp3 player, video recorder.. Is this true? Anything else different on mac version?

Almost 73. I'm enjoying Northrend more than Outlands I think. A lot less wide open terrain. Quick, numerous quests so it's dosn't drag on. I often look down and have half a level when it doesn't feel like it at all. I just don't understand Naxx. I can do it at my level? but some people say it's an 80 instance.

As a frost mage, should I keep all the gear that has haste on it? Or go for hit/crit gear? I like the idea of increasing casting time but I like criting. ;[

Naxx was an old 40 man lvl 60 Instance in Eastern Plaguelands when WoW was first released, they rescaled it for Lvl 80 in Northrend as some people felt it was a great instance in its time. You can still run the lvl 60 version of Naxx, aswell as the lvl 80 version

While leveling i would focus on spell dmg and crit gear. once you hit 80, then start focusing on hit, spell dmg, haste / crit in that order. go to google and search for "frost mage hit cap". Also go to www.maxdps.com and select your class / spec. on the bottom of the page you can find what the best gear is for your spec and where to get it. Some if it is only possible to get in 25 man raids, so if you cant raid, then focus on the moer achievable stuff in the heroic 5 mans and some of the 10 mans.

Single: Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Blood Strike, Blood Strike, Scourge Srike (then go back and forth between HS and SS until diseases run out and start over). Death Coil as much as possible during rune cooldowns (Rune Strike should take priority though).

AOE: Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Pestilence, Blood Boil, Unholy Blight, Scourge Strike (then go back and forth between BB and SS until diseases run out and start over). Death Coil as much as possible during rune cooldowns, unless Unholy Blight is (almost) over (Rune Strike should take priority though, except over Unholy Blight).

I NEVER use Death and Decay since I'm DPS and it causes way too much threat. If I were tanking, DnD would simply be the start of the rotation but the rest should be the same. Also, I usually summon my gargoyle on bosses only. Regular mobs and mob groups go down too fast to warrant it.

EDIT: I had Unholy Blight in the wrong spot.

Got my Frost mage to outlands a week agpo and dinged to 62, respect'd and my dmg went from 800 to 1000 and my crits from 1200 to almost 2k.

I'm still trying to find a good setup for my 59 DK before I take her to deep, right now shes just a money maker/cloth horder for my 62 mage and my lv5 mage

Dinged 80 tonight, now to finish up questing in Northrend to hopefully get the 5k for my epic flying skill.

A question about heroics: Do I need to gear up for them, or would quest gear (+ some reg instance gear) be enough? I want to jump in ASAP, but I'd like to be completely prepared.

Since you look like a DPSer, you don't have a key role, thus you can get away with much ****ier gear.

Put out 1200+ DPS and you're golden.

Edit: DPS sort of depends on circumstance, but there are training dummies in Org/UC/TB that you can play with. I honestly don't know what to expect in terms of freshly dinged DK DPS though... but I wouldn't say 1200 is impossible. I pushed more than that at 70, though in good gear at that time. :p

I guess it comes down to how you feel about it. If you're more of a burden than an asset, gear up. Otherwise, go nuts!

anyone knows when 3.1 goes live on EU realms?

Since they just put it on the PTR, i would guess about 2-3 months. Typically when they release content patches such as this one, they are on the PTR for an extended amount of time to ensure they are as bug free as possible.

Just for the record, this is my highest level character, I don't have an 80, so I've only recently started "really" exploring Northrend, and it's got some really cool scenery. Here's some screenies I took last night. The mountain has a glitch or something, I mounted and got a running jump off the top, and I glided for like 2 minutes straight (Kind of like slowfall for a mage but it didn't wear off) and eventually landed next to a town in the next map.

DPS Spec: 7/0/54

Single Target: IT, PS, BS, BS, SS, SS, DC, SS, DC

AoE: IT, PS, Pest., DnD, BS, BS, SS, SS, DC, SS, DC

I NEVER use Death and Decay since I'm DPS and it causes way too much threat.

I've never had an issue with using it with our tanks. Infact, I'm always one who has the least threat. Are you not spec'd into 3/3 Subversion? With the Glyph, DnD hits like a truck.

If I believe correctly, that area is used in a quest, which you have the option of jumping down from.
