I can't load up the Armory page but all of what you said depends on if he is trying to be a tank or not.

The few times i've been in a dungeon i have been the tank. But it's not something i've set myself up to do.

At this moment i just want to be at level 49 so i can get into the battlefields, i only became aware of them at level 40 so there was no point in going in to battle when everyone else was at level 49.

and yes i'm setup as Arms.

I'd also be interested to know some information on tanking, are there any idiot guides on the internet? of what exactly your supposed to / whats required of you etc..

I've just attempted a dungeon and failed miserably. lol... i'm automatically chosen as the tank, but apparently not a very good one.

Classes that can tank will always get pigeon holed into tanking well into the 70s.

Tanking is really just a matter of being situationally aware and make good use of cool downs and of course having a tank spec. Have you looked on the warrior section in the WoW forums for guides?

Pretty much your only job as a tank is to make sure mobs and bosses are only attacking you. That's it.

Not every week will they do maintenance. Last week for example were just restarts. However season 6 ended today and there applying hardware upgrades to fix the instance servers so maintenance is necessary.

But like Andrew said, kiss your social life goodbye, this game will pull you in by the balls and not let go.

I like WoW.com for a lot of good info... News & guides for various aspects of the game.

Wowhead.com is a great database for item information. They also have a forum, but I never really use it.

Wowwiki.com is what it sounds like: a wiki about WoW. It's got information about just about everything as far as I know (at least everything I've ever looked for is in there).

wow, how did I forget about the obvious ones. :p

Yeah wowhead is awesome. It's a giant database of every quest, item, spell, talent, you name it in the game. Really helpful for quests you dont know what to do, or where to go.

In terms of addons I'd reccomend Questhelper, makes leveling faster and easier.

no one ever truly quits an MMO they've invested a decent amount of time in :p I actually think it's healthy to quit every so often for a few months, stops you getting bored of the game and by that time new content is out. I tend to do this every 6 months or so :p

ive played the game for the last 3 years. ive experienced everything the game has to offer. i quit soon after ulduar was released. i can tell you i WONT be back. the game's gotten so lame, repetitive. everyone looks alike. epics are dirt easy to acquire. fights arent the least bit epic. there hasnt been anything epic about this game for a while.

blizzard is milking the cow now...

btw, lol @ new horde class. have fun playing a gremlin guys.

I'm feeling the addiction now... i stopped playing just after xmas and i'd not played it up until a few days ago, i thought i best play it since i'd been paying the fee and not using it... i am on holidays at work, i get like 6 weeks off so its really boring, i got up today at 10am and i'm only just about to log out, but i'll b back about 10pm tonight lol...

I dont think i could ever get to the point it take over my life, but i do feel the urge to keep playing, i don't even know what it is, because the thought of just going to different zones, killin different things in different ways does nothing for me, i'm already finding it repeative... but there is something that draws you in.

    • Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone by Ivan Jenic Image: YouTube/Microsoft Microsoft just released Age of Empires Mobile for PC. The game, officially called Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, is available for free on Steam and Microsoft Store, almost two years after its initial release for handheld devices. Age of Empires is one of those franchises that entire generations grew up with. The original came out in 1997, and immediately got people hooked to building civilizations and crushing their enemies on the battlefield. However, the franchise today is a far cry from its roots, as Age of Empires Mobile is, well, a game optimized for handheld devices, and not a classic RTS title we’ve all loved for years. And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. The PC version is still a mobile game at its core, but it’s been optimized for desktop play. There’s mouse control, full keyboard compatibility, and a refined UI. Microsoft also refreshed the visuals with some 4k textures, so the game should look better on larger screens. The game supports Crossplay, so you can switch between your phone, tablet, and PC without losing anything. But linked progress doesn’t come out of the box, as you have to enable it first. Here’s how to link your progress: On your mobile device, open Age of Empires Mobile. Go to Settings (Gear icon) > Account. Select Bind Account and choose a sign-in option. Once you enable account binding, sign in on PC using the same method, and your progress will be accessible across all your devices. Xbox Game Pass subscribers also get a bonus reward pack on PC, which includes: 1 Monthly Pass Token 1 Custom Resource Chest 10 Universal 60-Minute Speed-Ups 1,000 Empire Coins Exclusive Player Portrait Frame You can find more info about Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, as well as download links, on the Age of Empires official website.
    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
