Tell me if you like it or not.

Pretty slick. I would move the nameplates down though. Having information all over the screen gets tiresome especially if you are trying to pay attention to monster/self health/castbars/buffs/debuffs along with cooldowns.

Man. Having just leveled a Warlock with no support from my main on another realm to 80. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone trying to get in to WoW.

I mean problems with getting in to PvE:

- No heroics.

- When you do get an heroic. It's full of genuinely retarded players who have no clue how to play their class. Who then go right ahead and insult you when you friendly point out something they are missing.

- PuG raids: "LFM 10 NAXX LINK EPIC ACH". For those who don't understand what's wrong with this. The achievement requires full 25 man ilevel 213 item gear to get (trinket, robe, weapon you get the idea). Now 10 naxx drops ilevel 200. In short. Anyone asking for that is a ****ing idiot.

PvP:

- Impossible. Genuinely. As a lock I have 0 resilience right now I'm starting from 100 honour and a few badges. I need 25 WG badges for a trinket or 40k for a piece of gladiator. Unless I'm past the 400 mark you are a sitting duck. For example if I get cheap shotted and don't get a direct heal. I won't survive the stun. Sorry is this suppose to be fun?

- PuGs again - See my first remark about PvE only type everything in caps.

- Arena. See my first remark.

I guess I won't be re rolling till the next expansion then.

Hehe, I leveled a Lock to 25 and gave up quickly. I realized they aren't good for soloing and rely on support way to much. Not to mention Healers hate them thanks to their Life Tap ability.

What were you doing? :/

The lock is the easiest class to solo. I could solo most group quests and if I had my cooldowns up pull 4-6 mobs at a time and AoE them down.

Did you go Affliction, Demonology, or Destruction? I went Affliction and it was really hard to solo by myself. Even with a few Macro's set up and a strategy for my Voidwalker/Succubus to tank while I drained and DoT'd them I still struggled. And yes most Healers don't mind Life Tap IF you DON'T spam it but a lot of Locks like to spam it.

As giga said, should have gone demo. I spam LF like my life depended on it. It's the core of the class and with a Aff lock at 80 it's part of your rotation so you can get the buff from the glyph. You just do it before right after you cast haunt while the heal is traveling to you. It'll heal the damage taken.

WoW.com has multiple independent sources confirming the release of Patch 3.2 tomorrow (Tuesday August 4th in the US) and we're happy to pass that information along to you.

There are no patch notes available yet; however, they will no doubt be made available within the next few hours. But really, the patch notes are not going to deviate a terrible amount from the PTR patch notes, so this evening is a good time to familiarize yourself with everything.

The patch will also bring with it some rather significant extended maintenance as well.

SWEET :D

Damn, my guild is still working Yogg and the released new tier already! We haven't been able to get past P2 of Yogg as it's a combination of lack DPS in brain room and no control up top. But we have been steadly making progress and I was so hoping to kill him before patch. O well, here's to new **** out while I raid the old ****!

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
    • Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless.

You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates.
