I remember seeing 29 twinks rock that.

Sad thing was I wasn't doing any boosts, main reason being I need all the greens/blue to disenchant, but I'd def of gave that ring away to someone, just felt like a "waste" disenchanting it cause it's very rare :p

This is a bit wrong....

wowscrnshot020810204150.th.jpg

My tank that is .... :o

How are you doing that much damage as a tank? Could you link your armory for your dk? I can only do about 2k as a tank I can hold aggro great but I've never seen that much damage I'm wondering if it's just a gear gap or spec difference or if I'm doing something wrong and if you can do that as a tank what can you do as dps O.o?

Frost Spec Tank, generally dps is between 2-3k on single target, i can get upto 4k sometimes with some lucky killing machine procs on single target, very rarely can i hit 5k. AoE tanking can hit 5k+ all day long had a screenshot somewhere of doing 9k on first boss in HoL, that was pretty sweet.

Armory: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Stormrage&cn=Fusi%C3%B3n

This is my alt, generally i do not play it or raid on it, just log in do daily and log out, sometimes i might be used as a backup tank by the guild if we fall short but most of the time that is not the case.

You got to the pub like 5 times a day you alcoholic, you can afford a little move and faction change you sob.

Imagine all the instances we can do with no queues! :o

Yeah, quit drinking, transfer, do dungeons with no queues, Sethos gives you any DE'd mats he gets, you hook him up with enchants, etc.

I suppose I don't need to add the bit about it being more fun than solo'ing, yeah? Well it is.

I was random-pugging on my priest yesterday (gotta get them frost badges) and ended up stuck with two other people from my server.They were members of a newly formed guild that splintered from a middling gulid that inaccurately claimed a server-first kill of Sindragosa. I don't know the details of the drama (I hadn't logged in for a few days) but I'm told members of that guild were ###### during their 15 minutes of fame. Eventually the truth came out (they've never killed the boss in question) and credit rightfully went to my priest's guild.

Anyway, as soon as I ended up in old kingdom:

tank: hey ****ers keep the ****ing icon off me or u find another ****ing tank

tank: you ****ing get it

<somebody puts the orange circle on tank>

<tank leaves party the party>

tank's warlock friend: ****ing give me leave

tank's warlock friend: invite him back

<tank joins party>

me: I'm curious: is everyone in your guild an angry child or are you just acting out because the server found out you have no progression worth speaking of?

tank's warlock friend: hey touchy if ur going to act like a ****ing kid go back to guild wars.

me: I'm sorry, would you like me to make what I write a little more 'adult' by sprinkling it with profanity?

tank: u wanna talk to our gm? he hasn't had his meds today and im sure hed love to talk to u

me: I don't think he'd have anything interesting to say.

me: Though I will admit that I'm judging him solely on the company he's chosen to keep.

<tank pulls mobs>

<tank+warlock leave party>

<remainder of group runs out of dungeon>

A few minutes later our GM posts a comment in guild chat:

GM [Whisper: tank/warlock's GM] Hi, can I talk to you about one of your members?

GM Which one of my children was acting up today?

Me I bet this one is mine: you're going to love it.

…

GM So this ******* is wasting my time over a raid icon?

Apparently they ratted me out to their GM who "told my mom" on me.

I'm not sure what they hoped to accomplish: as a group they're on pretty poor terms with most on the server, especially the people in my my priest's gulid.

Logged onto the Neowin server/guild. Doesn't seem like anyone has been on in a very long time.

Probally going to be playing there off and on, would love to have some company as I level. I would also love to have an invite to the guild on a hunter/mage I would love to start playing. If you do happen to be on and there's no one in the guild, just join the chat channel Neowin and see if anyone responds. Post in the thread here and we can organize a meet date or something of the sort.

Could also use some suggestion on a bag/map addon. I don't like sexymap and Bagon is starting to annoy me.

Any DPS DK's here that can help me get the most DPS out of this frickin class? I have a 5k GS now and I am still having troubles in 5-Man groups getting more than 3.6K DPS and sometimes as low as 2.6k. It seems odd because I have seen DK's do far more like 5k with just 5200-5500 GS. I have read a lot of the threads on the WOW boards and I just feel like they are leaving stuff out. My current build is an Unholy 17,0,54 which seems to be the consensus top 3 builds for a DK. Any hints or tips that you think may help are welcome. If you want to see my build look up Malfecance / Korgath Server on the armory and you can see my gear.

Rotation

In general I open up with the normal Icy Touch, followed by Plague Strike, followed by Scourge Strike and Blood Strikes as available. When neither are available I spam Death Coil and cool downs. The priority tends to be Scourge Strikes as they are the best instant damage attack I have. I understand the logic behind using Gargoyles when procs have gone off and try to do that with the correct timing. However I often find that I have dead time waiting for runes to come back. I've gone to maxdps.com for more info about gear and rotations, but I'm still missing something.

Wearing PvP items to boost your GS doesn't normally improve your PvE dps.

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jfVMVZZfM0Ixcdg0zx0uIqo:LsbMmV - That's the spec you should be using and the proper glyphs. Should be noted this is more of a build to single target DPS.

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jfVMVZZfMbIhcdg0zx0uIqo:psoMmV - This becomes the optimal spec/glyphs to use for AoE. The DPS lost on a single target when using this build isn't very high, so you might want to just use this.

The info above and a lot more info can be found in the following thread:

Cool I'll take a look at those. My PVP gear was replacing fairly low level PVE gear and definitely gave me a boost to DPS, but I'm sure not as much as I would get with PVE gear of the same level. Typically resilience replaces secondary stats like haste or to hit. Additionally my cape is missing strength which definitely hurts my ghoul because he doesn't pick up on AP, instead he only picks up my strength and stamina. I'm trying to get some good replacements, but a decent cape is hard to find as is and the boots have been an absolute nightmare to find. My previous pair were 200 epics that were available once I hit exalted with Ebon Blade. The difference in strength was pretty significant so I couldn't really justify keeping the old ones rather than the PVP pair.

Also, work on your rotations - thats almost certainly the root of the problem. The elitist jerks thread gives you the basic rotations, just practice them. I hate doing DPS as melee so I just made 3 cast sequences based on the information in that thread:

  • Single target
  • AOE, Part 1
  • AOE, Part 2

I programmed my keyboard (Logitec G1) to have G1 to spam the single target cast sequence every 1.5 seconds. G2 hits the AOE part-1 marcro 8 times (enough to cycle through once) and then it just spams part 2 1000 times. That lets me just walk up to mobs, press the appropriate button and then just tab through targets. Now and then use cooldowns (ie: gargoil) but mostly I'm just on autopilot having friends drag me through. Even then - with a completely mindless play style I'm able to do sustain ~2.7-3k DPS in a 'typical' 5-man group.

My DK doesn't actually have any DPS gear - it's all tank loot (poorly gemed and enchanted because she lives off the scraps of my mage/priest). There's almost no way you've got worse DPS gear than I do.

The other problem could be that stuff dies too damn fast. In a group with 1 good tank and 2 horrible DPS my mage can easily maintain 5.5-6.5k DPS because I've got time to cast. When I run with friends that can do similar DPS to me - we all drop down to < 5K because you don't have time to make good use of procs/cooldowns/etc. Pit of Sauron is a pretty good way to judge your DPS. A good balance of single, 2, 5 mob pulls, plus a pair of huge AOE pull at the end.

      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 · Posted

      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.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
