sucks that it's a thursday tho =\

gotta book friday off now lol :laugh:

[game_over]

I wish i really had the time to give this game some more attention.... i started my 10 day trial on thursday and ive managed to jump on it twice for 45 minutes :(

it ends on sunday i think and i'm wondering if it's worth paying the subscription for the little amount of time i'm going to get to play on it.

crazy stuff people booking days off work to play it haha.

[Slane]

Looks like we have a date: November 13.

O ya, means its time to start prepping for the release. Start saving up Flasks of Relentless assualt, figure out how to get enchanting to 450 as quick as possible stock up on some BC mats to help me gain 10-20 points easily. Continue to pray so I can get on beta and learn a leveling path to quickly get me up there. Start picking out tank gear (some of my current gear/gear from BT will easily last me until Naxx/badges) to grab on the way to 80, and save up massive amount of gold.

BtW Adam/Eve did ya'll have OT get SR for Mother? I know myself and the other tanks will alternate as MT/OT for the fight, but I was wondering if I'll be OTing it, how much SR gear I need if any.

You could always use the game cards or cancel/resubscribe when you feel like playing. :)

I had the last 2 weeks of November booked off anyway: 1 week to be lazy around my house and toss up Christmas Lights etc, then I'm taking off to Mexico for a week. By the time I'm back most of my guild should be ready for Naxx?again.

Our tanks don't wear any. I think when we were learning they'd toss on the neck+cape and then decided it wasn't worth it.

[KZWings]

Got a beta invite and just downloaded all the patches last night. Moving a couple 70s to Northrend if anyone is interested in running something sometime.

70 hunter

70 priest healer

70 paladin tank

70 mage

Live realms, i've been on Lothar since release. Anyone else play there?

Then I might just get the cape made up. I haven't been able to get a group to kill Fathom Lord so I can't talk to that guy to finish the quest to get the neck. But I really don't think I'll any and if I or the other two tanks get Demonic Energy, we should be able to be healed through.

[perochan]

Illidan down, I sucked at flame tanking tonight so I had to MT him. So glad I can finally say I killed Illidan.

what add on are you using on the left side for party/raid members info? and also the square map.

thx

[lalalawawawa]

:woot: :woot: :woot: Great date. Just in time to get some "gold". :laugh:

But it is a hard decision. Regular or Collector's Edition? Hmm...

[the evn show]

Demonic energy isn't really a concern: your lash tanks have forever to be healed and your main tank is being spammed so neither should really hurt you. The real concern is idiots getting ported and running through the tanks and the solution to that isn't to make your tanks wear SR.

I started a Shammy character. So far it has been nice playing it. Hit level 21 few moments ago. Though I have one question. I am a Enhancement Shaman. What kind of gear should I be wearing in the future (intellect/stamina/strength)? Here is my current one (could be few minutes/hours outdated):

WoW Armory

I can't check your armory as I'm at work, but I can offer some advice for an enhancement shaman.

I went from 1-64 as enhancement, and then switched to elemental because enhance had major threat issues and shaman (still have) no CC so I was pretty undesireable for 5 man instances. This was around 2.1 or so. Since then enhancement threat has been reduced a little and a couple talent changes have made the spec a bit more desireable for PvE grouping. I have switched back to enhancement as I like it more than elemental, but my gear isn't that great as my shaman is an alt character and WotLK will regear him anyways. Level 80 will give shamans a limited CC ability (Hex), but the cooldown is 15 seconds longer than the max ability duration... so I'm not sure how great it's really going to be. But at least it's something.

As far as gear, you'll be going for STR, ATP (1 STR = 2 ATP), and Crit. For the higher levels you'll want to add hit since dual wield has such an awful miss chance, but you won't need as much as a rogue. And STA and INT to taste, really.

You want the slowest possible 1H weapons. And you'll want to use windfury on both weapons. Ideally you'd want your swing timer above 3.0 because windfury has a hidden 3 second cooldown, but there are not any viable 1H weapons that slow. So you'll be aiming to keep your swing timer above 1.5 seconds with Flurry (and other constant haste effects) active. This equals a base weapon speed of 2.0 or 2.1, I don't remember. But the slower the better.

I found the first 30 levels on my shaman the worst. You don't have a lot of the better abilities until that point. Windfury and Astrall Recall come to mind. Since then I've been pretty happy with him. You can look him up if you want. Look for Onikk on Malygos.

[Shadrack]

So...November 13th is the go-day for the expansion. I wonder if I should go ahead and plan to take the 14th off as a vacation day.

[lalalawawawa]

WotLK will regear him anyways

Thanks for replying. But what do you mean by this part?

[the evn show]

He means unless your covered head-to-to in top end raid gear you'll replace everything you have before November 30th.

[Slane]

Yup, most T6 stuff will last until Naxx/Badge gear upgrades, anything lower should be replaced by blues/heroics. Already planning a tanking set for my warrior once I hit 80 and some pieces that I have will work, and hopefully we will be killing bosses that do drop what I could use.

And thanks Evn, I'll point that out and see what happens. If were having OT deaths due to shadow damage that is idiotic damage I'll be sure to make some otherwise I'll keep my gold.

Anyone want a Scroll of Resurrection?

If you haven't played WoW for at least 90 days and are planning to get back into it, let me know so I can cast a Scroll Of Resurrection on your account so you can get free 10 days and I get a month after you pay for at least a month worth on your account.

Not going to happen, not to you.

Just cause I don't post on these forums..? I'd be helping who ever out too..

[Xeta]

Like what EVN and Slane said, going from level 70 to 80 will replace all of your gear unless you're using top end epics. Just like what going from 60 to 70 did.

I think he means that probably everyone that's posted in this thread could have already been asked for a Scroll. ;)

He's clearly pointing out people won't trust me or something?

Ah, I don't want to argue about it though.

[»X«]

So after a few nights of working on my UI it's finally in good enough shape to show off. I'm sure there are a few things here and there I'll change, but this is pretty much going to be the end result:

If anybody wants any specifics, let me know :)

Everything is an Ace addon except QuestHelper and SmartBuff because there are (in my opinion) no good replacements for those that are Ace addons.

Duder. Any luck of packaging up that addon? Or at least, listing the addons used? It just looks really awesome.

[Slane]

I don't, lol.

No, why would a Neowin member go to a first time poster who cleary only posted to try to get free 30 days? If they wanted to have there account re-opened, they'd most likely ask a member who frequently post in-here rather than a person who posted to only get a free 30 days, that's what I meant by it, and I'd had hope you would realize that.

On another note, Bloodboil sucks to tank.
