:p Heh, I've had two locks, and I'm at level 8 on my first mage right now. I'm really liking the mage so far.

Check this news post.

Anyone playing a lock just needs to roll their face across the keyboard and they'll still come out highest DPS in a battleground

:laugh: It's nice to do tons of damage. One of my more memorable moments in battlegrounds was in WSG when some gnome named DotsDotsDots was running down the bottom tunnel with the flag and I was hitting him with tons of damage but he almost got away. Right as he left the tunnel my Curse of Agony finished him off. Irony at its best.

[phate]

LMAO... i hate curse of agnoy.. thank goodness for boomkins in-form de-curse spell

Sweet, my name Madslane dwarf tank at your service. Either in Adept Alliance or Epifany can't remember what guild I was in when I left. ;)

[phate]

I'm glad you guys are having fun. I spent 30 minutes standing around the dock with a fishing pole trying to figure out how to fish. And now I seem to of ran out of easy quests to do.

I just can't take these hard quests. I thought I was having a heart attack awhile ago while trying to go through a cave to cut some guys head off.

Jeepers Creepers, I hope it gets better. Perhaps I did all the easy quests in the 10 day trial. I dunno, I feel so lost now.

[phate]

there are plenty of good guides to finishing around. What area did you start off in? Stormwind..the horde place.. erm the night elf place, dwarf or gnome place? if you are having trouble with a quest.. i'd just grind a couple of levels and give it another go.. or find people who are doing the same quest.. or ask someone to help from the guild/

[mikebiacsi]

Ok so i bit the bullet and resubscribed. :pinch: . Does anyone have some suggestions for a decent ui pack to use? I split my time between a warlock and a pally, and a ui with a nice minimalist look would be really good.

Cheers guys.

phate, funny thing is. I tried to ask around but all I got was "noob". I'll figure it out though, I've been reading several guides. It's unfortunate people have to act that way.

I'm almost a lvl 10 Night Elf Warrior. I'm over at Aldrassil. That's about all I can tell ya right now. That, and my names Grepo. I'll be on in about 30 minutes or so. It would be nice to be shown around a little.

Yea....I've found a lot of the people who play wow can be about as helpful as ###### on a bull, there are a lot of immature twats playing that game - and they don't take it as a game, its life to them.

Warriors are not the best class to start out with if you're going solo(I regretted going that route in the earlier stages), very hard to take on quests with. If you want an easier life - go with a hunter or a warlock or even a rogue. Warrior has no escape means if you pull a lot of agro and that always ****ed me off.

I'm a level 70 warrior and while there a pain to level up, the reward pays off in the end. You have the most hitpoints in game, do the largest crits and you wear plate.

largest crits? I'm pretty sure Locks/Mages have warriors beat in the crit department. (I have a 70 warrior and a 70 mage).

[Slane]

I also have a 70 warrior and it wasn't hard to level. Just focus on Stm/Str and spam heroic strike till you get Mortal Strike. All I did and I leveled pretty quick. Though at 70, your either a PvP or tank in PvE. Very few warriors actually do DPS (more after Kara) in PvE, compared to those that tank, and in PvP warriors are awesome.

largest crits ? LOL umm ok most hits my lock fully buffed is at 14,670

Warrior > Tank >> Specialist and required role.

Pally tanks, Mages, Lock and even some Priests have been known to outstrip Warriors in pure HP. Tho not from Hyjal/BT onwards so yes Warriors to get most stam, but other classes can and do make it up just aswell.

People giving Retri Pallys a hard time. Well you can kiss my 800-1200dps ass. Currently raiding thru SSC/TK on Vajsh and Solarian in the TK. My guild loves me as Ret, I bring utility in form of buffs and seals, Crusader strike keeps all the pallys seals up on targets meaning we can have Light / Wisdom and Crusader seals judge on the target allowing Healin pallys extra mana (me too), Light heals us including our Paladin MT on several fights, and ofc Crusader keeps a raid wide +3% crit to both melee and spells. Then my Aura also brings an extra dps increase not just for me again for the entire melee group im in, boosting rogues output aswell as shammy and warriors.

Id also like to point out that whilst the above screen is an obvious joke, playing Ret in raids beats the hell out of the 1-2 button spam fest that is end game Holy Healbotism.

I have to agree healing in raids is DIRE!

I've played various roles in raids in the past and in terms of fun I'd put them in this order:

Tanking (more to do, you're swapping positions, keeping the raid alive, it's an involving role to play) > DPS (Varies but sometimes it can get really monotonous like simply spamming scorch then fireball on certain bosses) > Healing (shield, renew, flash, flash, flash, renew, flash... Shield AND repeat) > DPS as a rogue (/afk)

I think you've been misinformed. In comparable gear, a druid in bear form has more HP and more armor :/ BUt that shouldn't mean that bears are better tanks than warriors. A warrior is still a better tank because of +defence.

As for crits, it's rogues' and hunters' speciality.

As for the largest crits, you have to be specced for mortal strike :)

All I can tell you is to keep an eye on Spartan UI as an update is supposed to come "soon." Other than that, browse a site like Curse or WoW Interface and check out the different packs they have.
