I mean, what's this crap with hunters being able to jump back 50ft

pff :p

We're virtually useless at melee range, so we need that jump back to at least have a chance to fire off some shots. If we can't get range we're pretty much a free HK

OK so what is up with people asking you for what achievements you have to join PuG's?? WTF? If this seriously is the way this game is going I'm going to quit again.

oh god, don't get me started on that, I think I already ranted about it a few pages back :p Trust the WoW community to turn something "fun" into a "requirement"

You can get an addon that fakes the achievement (No it's not against the EULA)

But still, it's really sad how they demand you have experience before they will group with you. How did they gain it in the first place? What if your on an alt, etc. It seems confined to just a few instances on my server but I can see it slowly creeping into even average ones.

Yeah, it's kind of lame. How do they expect people to learn if everybody wants you to have an achievement already to go? You should either try to get into them anyway (just give them your highest achievement applicable & say you know what you're doing, or even say you've done it on another toon), or wait for ones that don't need an achieve. Or you could try to get into a guild that doesn't mind bringing you along.

Well for the few times it has happened, I called BS on them and they never whispered back to me haha. But I mean really, I haven't played since 2008 so I am a little rusty, but I mean, getting back into how your character works isn't that tough, so maybe I will try and get some of these achievements ... if not, I will look out for that addon that fakes them. :p

Even then I have absolutely no idea why people would 'require' you to have achievements ... I mean they are totally optional and only give you trinkets and titles.

Actually, there even are achievements for just a normal instance run. On my realm it was impossible to get into a group without an achievement. Which is why I always created my own groups! (and it always worked out, huzzah for almost-oneshotting-everything-Ulduar-10-pugs!)

Really is a shame the Neowin guild thing never worked out, a UK based one would have been awesome :laugh:

I think my server is just full of people who think they are too hardcore. I've tried to run my own groups to no avail. I think I need to switch servers. :p

Well, it might not be a Neowin named guild but I am the GM for a social guild (because atm I'm only level 33) on Quel'Thalas, but if you look up my character (Kaeci?) and just tell me your from Neowin and I'll get you straight in:))

Have a looksie at guild Clicky

Yes, mana should not be an issue for you. Remember to use Divine Plea before every pull (when it's not on CD). With Guarded By The Light & Divine Plea, you're constantly regenerating mana during the whole fight. It's absolutely awesome and there are very few times you will need to drink.

I have a Prot Pally myself (converted from Ret) and having 2 points in SA + the Glyph is just awesome, it's pretty useless in raids, but in Heroics it gets the job done, you never have to drink as you just get tons of MP back as soon as you get healed + Divine Plea.

Awesomeness :)

So i thought i would rest my main and Pick up my DK from the Sidelines, since the nerf i lost about 2k HP as tank so my goal was to get over 30k again and i finally managed to do that the other night. Takes about 1 day to get enough badges for the T8 chest and another for the Helm so i dont think the grind was that bad. Was wondering if anyone here could tell me if i am able to confortably tank ulduar 10 with my current gear now. I have around 32-33k hp unbuffed in frost presence and around 40k when raid buffed in most 10 man situations. My goal really is to get around 35k unbuffed so i need to squeeze out another 2-3k hp from somewhere.

You look fine and should defiently be able to do the first half and then some. Actually you should be able to do it all, cuz in my tank gear on my warr I'm worse off and can tank most of 25 man. And with upgrades from 10 man you'll snag that extra 3k in no time.

600th post in this thread. Soo is that happy face or sad face?

[Spookie]

Does that make it one of the longest threads in Neowin history? :s

Probally. I only know of the "post you funny images" thread as being longer. Anyone know of any longer threads?

Talking of happy achievements:

Is anyone here actually on the Quel'Dorei Server ??? If so, I could use a hand for a min or two :l

Afraid not, currently a Stormrage player myself

I thought I would tell you all that I'm currently installing WoW. What should I expect?

A loss of innocence.

(Expect what though, in regards to gameplay?)

[Prosidius]

This is a first....

We will not be conducting our usual weekly maintenance during the week of Tuesday, 9/15/09. There will be no planned downtime, and no server-wide restarts.

We will, however, be restarting Uther to address an issue with a missing boat, though downtime there should only be 3-5 minutes. Everyone else, please enjoy an uninterrupted play experience!

Yesterday it was Lord J down today...

Who ever thought up that fight need to die in a fire.

[Sethos]

No, that was on my other server - God fed up with my Horde Death Knight.

So currently I'm AV leveling my Human Paladin, Razorstorm.

[Shaun N.]

Nice, I've been doing a bit of that myself recently

[Sethos]

Could anyone recommend me a light, non-intrusive addon for measuring my average DPS

[Minifig]

Anyone care to bump something for me a few times?

It'd be nice for the Android phone users.
