This is my first post so why not start it off with a game post! So who plays? and if you do, what server?
Im a lvl 36 mage on the server kilrogg
gm of the royalty ^^
i also had a lvl 25 mage on dragonmaw but my friend made me switch to kilrogg -_-
I've watched my brother play the game o.o.. If that counts.
It actually looks like a pretty good game, but as I'd say about ALL online games, they suck. x.X;; Not game-wise or anything, a lot are very good, but they just suck you in and you'll constantly end up playing them.
Anyway.. :3 WoW looks pretty decent, I might actually try it out some time...
...maybe not. ~_~ We'll see.

WoW owns everquest 2 - EQ2 is far far too repeditive, it feels like your playing the same character from level 20 to 60 (in some cases 10-60), and without any sort of pvp risk, its just... unexciting
World of Warcraft all the way
My warlocks name is Anduin btw

I haven't actually played the game, but here's a kinda funny tidbit on why I feel it must be good. I work for a radio tech talkshow and our two main video game guys called in to do a review on it. Well one of the guys was doing practically all the talking because the other guy could barely stop playing long enough to throw in more than two words evey two minutes about it.
I played on one of the open beta tests...it really didn't appeal to me, since my computer couldn't handle it (jumpy screen and horrible framerate...something like 1 frame/second of something)
That and i prefer more modernistic settings on MMORPGs (Matrix Online)

Used to play was a level 20 Undead Rogue. Hated the game. I suppose I hated it so much because I'm an FFXI whore =P. I like FFXI so much more, even though WoW's probably the better MMORPG.

I was in the beta... or more my brother was in the beta and i was playing on his computer. I had a Nightelf Druid (lvl 13) who I gave up on playing then I made a Human Rouge who kicked hieny (I made a Hunter when they came out too, Tauren, but that was late into my playing and my brother moved out a week later).
I loved my rouge and I miss the game so much, I dont have the money (of the computer) to play anymore. I have a proud moment though... I got Stitchs (...um can't spell... the big dead guy in Darkshire) I got him at like level 20, had his femur >< mind you a bunch of level 30 guys really took him out and i just got first hit ^^

47 priest on Skullcrusher. Played a bit in beta and currently playing in retail. lately i really haven't had time to play so everyone is in ther 60's and on their 2nd chars while I'm still falling behind. i paid for 6 months for me and my bf and now he doesn't play anymore. a big waste of money there U_U. But at least i still play and can log on his char and take his money.. lol.
it's a great game. personally i prefer it more than FFXI. I tried a month of FFXI and just couldn't handle it. WoW is so much more fun bc of the ability to pvp eachother if you choose to. That and plus it provides so much more character customization and features.

Actually, until you hit lvl 60 raid instances, horde is alot easier. (Shaman own paladins here)
Once you hit lvl 60 and go into 20+ man instances, that is when Aliance taeks the lead, becuase of Fear Ward and the strong limitation of Totems.
I personally have a 60 Gnome Warlock, and 58 undead Priest. Got bored of the game now though, so it is just sitting there locked out cause i haven;t payed it in like 2 months. My warlock is almost fully BWL geared, and i am sick of MC...

05-02-2006, 04:48 PM
Yeah, it is one of the new 0.5 sets.
Yes, Valthalak is pretty hard. I summoned him with a normal pug group once, and Valthalak still had 7/8's life left when we wiped. I tried again later with a high end raiding guild, who has downed Cthun (currently the hardest boss in the game, the main boss for AQ40), who wiped twice before they were able to take him down.

Yeah the Draenei look awsome dude! Kind of a cross between Night elves and Tauren :headbang:
lol! The thing i dont like is that they are a strong magic based race, but because they are so muscular they look silly in robes ect.
If i were to make one it would have to be a Warrior, but since i already have a 41 Tauren Warrior (Mooa, Scarsheild legion EU Servers) i prob wont make one. Il wait to see what classes they have as options.
They still pwn Blood elves though :p:

Even better -
Epic.

Mounts.
Seriously. I'm going crazy waiting for this. I really want to see what they'll look like.
And yeah, the Draenei look cool, but I still want to try a B-Elf.
And I so KNEW it'd be the draenei - they're adding Outland. Which is where the draenei live. Goes together.
Although I'm still waiting for the Panda Expansion. Pandas = my heros. :D

Well yeah, as soon as they announced Outland I was like "Yup, draenei."
But there'll be another expo eventually. And THAT will be pandas for SURE.

lvl 38 Night Elf Hunter - Trexarahn - Daggerspine
My main is my druid and my hunter is my soon to be main because I love my stealth kitty so much. In a guild that some friends in another state started, anyone in Daggerspine wanna run, just let me know lol.

I just love WoW. Especially the PvP system. It's priceless.
I'm ranked Knight >.< but my friend told me to go level up and go PvP in the higher brackets. Since lower brackets gets jack in HPs. Level 60 brackets you get like as much HP as 3 normal 40 PvP bracket. So ya, must start leveling to 60

Draffut
05-15-2006, 02:35 PM
While Pandarens are cool, they are not a prevalent race at all in the world of Azeroth. and they have nothing to do with the alliance and horde. While the Draenei and Blood Elves are both very important races, both who used to be under hte control of Illidan. which should be interesting to see what they are up to after his fight with the Lich King.
ashiin
05-15-2006, 02:36 PM
hmm you actually have a point, i guess your right. But don't other races have ties with the hordes or the alliances? Like the furblogs or something :D

05-15-2006, 02:38 PM
mother****ers id say...fkn blizzard mother****ers and whiny lil *****es about game balance. i am fine with the drenai, but its the bloodelves that pissed me off the most. i almost quit the game when i heard blood elf was a new race. mostly due to the fact i was oging to abadon my rl friends and join the horde. now theres no point, coz horde will hve lots of wankers as well
edit: panda appeared in the TFT campaign. even though its only 1 mission
Draffut
05-15-2006, 02:42 PM
well, alliance have the Night Elves for all the kiddy fanboy's, and korean farmers out there. They wanted to give Horde an equivalent.
And most of the furbolgs in the world are taken over by the Scourge and Lich King. they got there own problems.
saycheese
05-15-2006, 02:46 PM
blood elf was just lame, coz the horde had TONS of options to choose from. they couldve almost had ANY monster in the game with reasonable intellengence or a brand new race. not this crappy game chick shit...
imagine furbogs, pandas, drenais, dragoniods, harpies, lycans and other nice looking humaniods. i personally like the looks of horde more. <3 tauren warrior in plate

05-15-2006, 02:54 PM
OHH i forgot about lycans :D their not bad actually ;)
Draffut
05-15-2006, 02:55 PM
i already explained Furbolgs and Panda's. Draenei are being used.
Harpies are nota civilized race, so they are out. Lycan's are only created by magic in WOW. (I.E. Shadowfang Keep) Which would't be a good point base for a race.
Dragoniods? You mean the Dragonkin or the Drakonids. The Dragonkin are not really humanoids, and they are super strong. the Drakonids are a creation of Nefarian and not really race.
Seriously, when Blizz choose the race they said "What will people like, and fits well into the story." none of those fill the second requirement.
I personally dont like Blood Elves either. I also hate Jewelmaking as a profession. But thats how it goes, and is kind of extreme to bolt cause of one new race that is added. I will forever be a Gnome, so it doesn't bother me.
A race that would have worked instead of the current ones would have been the Naga. But i guess Blizz wanted to hold back on them for now.
saycheese
05-15-2006, 02:59 PM
i am guessing there will be a second expantion, but look. gnomes was never a race in the first place and its still in wow. they can just make that kind of shit up.
i am a gnome mage myself and i like the race, and i like the dwarfs. i dont like humans and elves however.
i found that the human has too big of an ass, and its quite disturbing, and i find the elf annoying in many sense
ashiin
05-15-2006, 02:59 PM
flying mounts are interesting though :D i wonder how it's gonna work (like swimming i guess)
saycheese
05-15-2006, 03:02 PM
i belive mounts were like that before in the original wow beta. then they thought it was too cheap and remove it. or its something alone that lines
Draffut
05-15-2006, 03:19 PM
Gnomes have been around for a goood while. They were the ones who always operated the humans's machines since WC2. they may have not been individual guys, but they drove all the big boats and planes, and in WC3 they were the rocketeer guys.

Trexaru
05-15-2006, 05:11 PM
Look Gnomes are the freakiest little buggers anyone ever saw. The horde players were complaining that they don't have a 'pretty looking race' so the ygot the Blood Elves and we, Alliance, got the 'ugly' Draenai. But if thats the case, we had the ugliest chars of all...the Gnomes lol. They got nice racial specs...but i hate Gnome Rogues....little buggers so goddamn scary....it's not right.

Draffut
05-16-2006, 01:32 AM
there is already enough problems withShaman vs. Paladin balance, and the battlegrounds. A third faction would just throw everythin into chaos wwith no hope of a decnt game out of it.
Unfortunately, those are mostly just passive raes that dont have much to do with the world, and would have no reason to side with others. Not to mention nowhere to put them. And the goblins already have there place.

05-16-2006, 02:01 AM
I kinda adressed that at first then went on a tangent. There isn;t room in the world for a 3rd faction. There are already major balance issues between the races as they are. and as half the game revoles aroudn the war between the alliance and the horde, throing in a third faction would muck that whole part of the game up, and make PVP battlefeilds rediculous.
Avenged Sevenfold
05-16-2006, 02:17 AM
I guess but if they were a neutral faction... Or if not, im sure Blizzard would find some way to execute it in a good way.
Personaly i would have loved to have seen Ogres but i can only realy picture them being on the Horde and they already have Tauren so... : /

05-16-2006, 12:21 PM
Yeah.
I definately agree with you. I think, personally, that they should have gotten bonuses like the tauren (i.e. higher strength, something of that sort) instead of what they got. +15 jewelcrafting? Seriously. Come on.
Although, on the other hand, I appreciate that they didn't try to make them just like the Tauren. There's got to be SOME differences.
Ah well, I'll make one and see how it pans out, same witha blood elf.
Draffut
05-16-2006, 12:59 PM
What is wrong with Jewelcrafting. Every class out there has a + to some profession. and they needed one to have a + for the new profession.
And if you read hte back story on them, it makes snese why they are casters, they dont look that much like tauren.

50hp regen?
Shinomori
05-16-2006, 06:11 PM
I'm just wondering if jewelcrafting will be more of a late game thing.
It seems so (kinda like enchanting) since you can't remove the gems, so I think they need to put in some low-level gems so people can level up the skill before they hit level 60. :D
I mean, that's the problem I always had with enchanting - there's just not enough ways to level it early on. I mean, I had enchanting level 8 (I was simultaneously leveling 2 characters) by the time my alt had a leatherworking of 60. I hope they won't make it like that.
Draffut
05-16-2006, 07:28 PM
50hp regen?
that is actually what it starts as. how much it heals is actually scaled to level, so it can end up being pretty useful. they didn;t give a max at lvl 60 or 70, but i would guess 500 or maybe 1000.
and 1% to crit with spells is awsome in big raids. especially if they stack.
as for enchanting, just stand around IR and give out free enchants. DE everything you get. and DE stuff you make with tailoring. once you hit 250 or so you can start chargin for the good enchants.
and i dont know about Jewel crafting. it is probobly hte only thing i completely hate about the expansion. I hated it in Diablo, and it is even worse here.
Shinomori
05-16-2006, 07:49 PM
It's ok, since it gives more customization. I mean, it used to be "OMG GET "insert name here" WEAPON ITS THE BEST" but now you can change it to suit your style (e.g. increased hit %, increased attack speed, etc).
Draffut
05-16-2006, 08:21 PM
actually there is a good amount of diversity in weapons. and you can already do what you said with enchanting.
Shinomori
05-16-2006, 08:24 PM
Yeah, there's more now however.
I still think there needs to be some way to dye armors. Would be sweet. You could make some AMAZING looking paladin armors.
Draffut
05-16-2006, 08:29 PM
there are mods outthere that let you cahnge your armor client side. Lots of hunters use it cause they dont like the purple Dragonstalkers. You still look the same to everyone else, but atleast you look cool to yourself. =)

05-16-2006, 08:30 PM
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
I mean, some of the full higher-level Paladin sets in full black would look so crazy.

05-17-2006, 05:05 AM
so shino, u use a pally? and now that ive had a good think about it, if drenai were allowed to be mages, the 50+hp regen would be very nice, if its instant cast, and even if its dot. and also i belive its 1% more hit with magic, rather than crit. i personally find hits more useful, as i am a icemage(or was until my acc got hacked >.>) and ive got a high crit rate already. ice mage ftw <3
AznPoi
05-17-2006, 06:06 AM
Where's the racial stats for draenai?
Draffut
05-17-2006, 01:37 PM
+ to hit is essential for ice mages, becuase of the Ice resist glitch. but there is no need to really get your +to hit above 5%. as at that point it doesn;t help a wole lot.
My question is, if there are more then one draenei in a group, does the +to hit stack. Becuase in a raid, if you threw 5 draenie mages in one group... and they did stack... that would be nuts.
The racial bonuses are, +15 jewel crafting. a Heal over time, whoch stats at 50 HP over 15 seconds, and goes up with level. and +1% to hit with spells for eveyrone in the Dranie's group.
I personally like it becuase of the uniqueness of them. most races are a +to a profession, a +5% to a stat, and a special attack/defense. this is fairly unique.
The only thing that really bugs me about hte Dranei is the class selection. Warlocks (my personal class) cant be them... and warlocks with the life regen ability would be awsome. not like mages can't AoE everythign solo already...

What are you confused abotu what i said?
+Hit is good for ice mages because of a bug Blizz refuses to fix, but you dont need more then +5%
Hopefully the +hit will stack
almost every other class had the exact same setup on abilities, with few variations. the Draenei are fairly unique that way.
I want a Warlock Draenei. it would kick ass.
That is what i said.
saycheese
05-17-2006, 02:44 PM
what i do not understand is that
a)drenai abilities are not unique, blood elves are unique.
b)the bug can actually be easily fixed, but they can never bother. none the less, usually unless its a pally, you should do alrite.
c)if hits stack, it would be quite imba, and u will see lots of whiny lil *****es.
Draffut
05-17-2006, 02:54 PM
I am curious how they are going to implement the blood elf abilities without causeing an uproar in pvp imbalance. it wouldn;t be bad at all for the draenei ones to stack, since it only effects your group, and not a whole raid. making it not to imbalanced in either PvP or PvE. and to hit doesn;t help healers at all. so shadow piests, mages, and warlocks are about the only classes that benifit.
and i know that it would be easy to fix the bug, but blizz refuses to for some reason. oh well, i dont play a mage. Paladins arn;t that bad either. just dont crit when they have that eye for an eye ability.

Draffut
05-22-2006, 01:08 PM
New class would have been nice, but blizz already has all the basics covered with what they got already. Would end up bieng to much of a niche class. And concidering all the problems balancing just the few classes that are out, anouther cog thrown into that would be crazy.
I actually would have liked to see the "hero" classes put in, instead of a level cap increase and new races. Where basically once you hit level 60, you can do a special quest that turns you into a more specialized class.
Like Warlocks could do a quest to become excelent summoners and awsome pets, or they could become like shadow assassins, being able to use leather armor, and be able to stealth, or they could go shadow mages, where there offensive power is increased.
Blizz has been talkin about hero classes for a while.... and i want them =(
Shinomori
05-22-2006, 07:46 PM
You mean the essential equivalent of a "prestige class"?
I agree. Something that would provide another benefit to hitting higher levels.
Although I believe having another basic class or two would be sweet also. :D

05-22-2006, 09:59 PM
then it also cant be when u get to max level. as then it disadvantages everyone else who isnt at the max level. id say give the option while its 60-70% of max level. eg, with the current cap of lv60, we allow them to turn at 40-50
Shinomori
05-22-2006, 10:05 PM
I don't think you're getting the point here.
By allowing for greater levels to access such "hero" classes, you therefore de-valuate the reward. In terms of money, consider the following.
Every minute you spend leveling up for the carrot at the end of the string is more money Blizzard gets out of you. In order for them to get the most money possible, they NEED for people to have rewards that are set far into the future. If you are a casual player (as I am/was), it takes about 1 or 2 months to hit level 40. That's $30. HOWEVER, it takes another 3 months just to get to 60. That's another $45. After that, to get the high level weapons/armor, it's an INCREDIBLE amount of time. Every reward placed at the end further insures that they will make more money. It's not about "disadvantaging" players, it's about making money.
And also, if you make it level 60, people will work harder for it, as opposed to saying "I hit level 40, I got a hero class, I can quit now." and they'll play MORE.
The whole point is to make rewards later so people enjoy the game longer.
Draffut
05-23-2006, 05:56 PM
Pretty much what Shinomori said. The Hero clases are what thy say. "Heroic" I hate to break it to you, but there is nothing heroic about a lvl 40 charecter. that may be the elitist in me talking, but it's true.
Thye will be added to extent gameplay further (past the current cap) and to keep people playign longer. And people wil lhave incentive to make more then 1 max level of each class, to be able to access all he specialized versions.

Lol, I actually knew a couple of the people that were raiding.
You don't know the back story to it, I guess. On Illidan, PvP is virtually non-existant. I mean, some of my friends just run through horde territory ALL day since no one cares. So they decided to make a mass raid. They picked the most repulsive thing they could so that people WOULD get angry. That was the ENTIRE point. Now they're on every horde (and some alliance) shitlist on the server. BUT THEY STARTED PVPING AGAIN.
They did it not out of cold blood, but out of necessity. At least, that's my viewpoint.

WoW's a lotta fun before you're forced into spending hours and hours doing boring things such as doing the same dungeons for items over and over again, or honor farming. It's really sad that unless you put into a lot of time, there's no way for you to be able to match up with the other players in terms of both items and server reputation, which are all required for any serious end game action :(

And btw what is up with the trolls being so ugly even lvl 60s in full tier 2 are ugly as ****
And i have a hunter too they do get tame pet from a quest at lvl 10.
And i heard about that funeral slaughtering thing too WTF was that those girls had their mages use instant arcane explosion put em all in combat so they couldny switch to actual gear the people didnt stand a chance at that point. And wtf would you attack a funeral FFS thats unholy.

Ok, if you are goign to try and ruthlessly insult people, please use punctuation. I can also now level a charecter to about lvl 20-22 in a night, but when i first started playing. (Back when it took 10 minutes to loot anything, and stuff was alot harder) I could easily play for 8+ hours and only hit lvl 16... Especially if you play a Druid.
Also, it might not be best to flaunt your "leet chars" here, as there are many with higher. (Fully BWL Geared Warlock here... Give me Naxx!)
As for the funeral thing, I see no reason why to have one in the game... especially on a PVP server. So i dont feel any remorse for them.

Ya, you right, mages can only decurse themselves, have far more mana-effective spells, can polymorph (Dont brign up fear, as it is useless in most cases), Then with the addition of Blink, Frost Nova, and ice Block.... jeez.
We have.... Death Coil, and most of our other stuff relies on us havign a specific pet...which we can only have one of the 4+ at a time...
Hyprocrite mages. =)
Edit: Also, forgot mages AoE... warlocks get hellfire.... so we can get screamed at when we try and use it. Give us an instant-cast AoE that does monsterous damage... and instant cast spells that stops unlimited enemies in place... then the Blizzard and Flamestrike on top of it....
People get mad at warlcoks cuase we can 1v1 anyone. But they forget that in group PVP we are almost useless, and in raids, Mages outshine us in almost every aspect. same with soloing.
Heck, when they released a boss that you needed atleast 2 warlocks to kill (Moam in AQ20) people had a fit becuase they actually had to start bringing warlocks to raids... Oh Noes!
hihi, i just love this :D i agree. and we get some love in 1.11. even do we have poly, its so many spells that can break it. and the aoe, it sucks in pvp, good at some instanses. blink is bugged some times but its good. ice block dosnt heal just remove debuffs, wish a lock can cast fast back on. frost nova, ok imba on meele and instases. and blizzard and flamestrike, uses some times in instases and farming. mage is a way more of an pve class.
we can descuss this for years :D

And i woudl be happy to =)
I am confused now if we are refering to PVP or PVE. As far as Polymorph, there are even ore things that can break fear. (undead, anyone?) Blink, lets see, if you get knocked into the air by certain bosses (Silithus prince, Baron Geddon, ect.) you can blink mid-air and appear on the ground, negating all damage. I think thats not right.
Iceblock = Mobs no more eat me. thats incedible. And polymorph - eat - drink - full life mage, and a warlock/healer with no mana left.
Flamestrike and Blizzard are situational, yes. But as far as we go, we got Rain of Fire, and Hellfire.... go variety!
I have to many mages that complain in my guild incessently. So I have gotten used to argueing with them for hours. =)
hehe, well, the blink thing is a bug. and its imba :D and ice block is a 21 talent. so you have to pay for it. cant locks drain something from there pet? just is that just mana? and you have 1-2-3? fears. and a pet. in pvp at least 1on1 warlock is the shit, thats why mage a whining. :D
Draffut
06-02-2006, 02:11 PM
Ya, walocks/warriors are about the only classes mages can't take on 1v1, so they concider themselves weak. Oh well.
The only way we can drain from our pet is a 31 point talent, which makes it so we cant get our best talent from anouther tree. (21 points) We do have Life Tap though, which turns our health into mana. Good for logn fights, but we have to rely on healers to replenish our life.
We have 2 fears, but becuase of diminishign returns, it is very difficult to keep anyone feared for extended periods of time. each tiem we fear, the next one last less time. by 3 or 4 it will only last 5 seconds max.
Also, Howl of Terror is overrated, 2 second cast time is not good. Atleast priest's get thiers as instant cast.
Also, i guess you are right about ice block. But i have never seen a high end mage who wasn;t a 30 arcane, 21 frost build. Becuase of Molten Core, Fire mages at that point a very few and far between. (and the fact that the ice tree is far superior....)
If they do fix mages, i hope they buff the fire tree, and leave the otehr two relitivly unchanged. Kinda what they did with warlocks back when they made the Demonology tree not suck completely.
uhm, warroirs is the only thing we can take 1on1. priest = can heal = more dps then us. Paladin = can never die, :p ok dps but wil out last me. hunter = have pets, if they have 31 poits in beast mastery the pet can take half the mages life. and aimed shot. ect. rogue, we if get the first attack we get a better chanse. druid = hard to take, but if the druid is good and fake heal, and such they cant be taken.
this is about players that can there class, not priests that goes meele, or try to heal in shadowform:D
Draffut
06-02-2006, 02:28 PM
but.... you can polymorph healers and eat up while they are stuck... thats 3 classes there. Hunter.... poly hunter and frost the pet in place? Thats my guess.
Rogues i have no idea, i guess you guys could take them if you dotn get perma-stunned. Buit warriors have enough life, and with a pvp build should be able to dish out plenty of damage to your cloth armor.
Mages arn;t even the class i have the biggest issue with. that would be hunters. =)
hehe, well sheep is a good plan, but since they have so much dps i would be down on 50% hp. warrior is easy with a frost specc, use rank 1 frost bolt all the time. but if they get a hamstring on you, you are almost dead.
Draffut
06-02-2006, 03:31 PM
if you can drop the hunter's pet they arn;t so bad. either that or knock out there mana then get some food/water. Becuase while polymorph replenishes life, mana doesn't go up at all. counterspell is savior to.
Counterspell is great utility spell also.
Mages have so much diversity, we kinda do to, but since we can only utalize one curse at a time, it doesn't help a whole lot.

shinomaru i think you are talking about soul link and that doesnt increase hit points just splits dmg with your pet the only demonology skill that increases hp is demonic embrace. and master demonologist has some pretty sick buffs. or are you talking about blood pact from the imp and if you have imp out it nerfs master demonologist -% threat caused -_- and soul link is nerfed too coz splitting dmg with your imps really small hp pool will get you killed. and raiding locks are usually sm/ruin so no worries there ^_^

Unless your sever is VERY PVP light, then you will be spending many, many, many hours grinding to Grand Marshal. It takes far more time/effort to do then gearing up in MC/Onyxia/BWL

Ok, first off. If you want to defend warlocks, learn alittle grammar (I make alot fo errors too, but atleast try...) and get your facts strait. Soul Link now splits the damage 70/30, is used to be 50/50 but you needed to recast it constantly. The reason that it is helpful is that in large PVP groups, you use a voidwalker, who has alot of life, and get the MD buff that reduces all damage you recieve by anouther 10%. So after all is said and done, you are getting about a net -40% damage, and an extra 15% life.
Now as for damage, yes your dmg will suck in normal gear. Thats why warlocks need to get other decent gear before they spec that. I am currently running full demonology spec for PVP, and my normal hits are usually 1k-1.2k Crits about 1.8k. Good enough for me, alot higher then 500.
lol what bullshit Armor, my Warlock is a soul link warlock and i do nearly 1100 dmg noncrit with shadowbolt. and if im fully buffed in Mc or whatever i can reach a HP over 10K. i managed to tank Majordomo for a while after all our tanks died, to bad he had to much hp left ^^

I question all this. Unless you go all out with Flask of Titans, Blasted Lands buff, and the Stamina buff from DM North, I dont know how you could possibly reach 10k life, and do the most dmg raidwise. I would have to assume that you do use all those (whcih is a waste anyhow) and the rest of your rogues/hunters dont know how to DPS. (hunters who abuse Feign Death can out DPS ANYONE)
Also, the fact that you said "i managed to tank Majordomo for a while after all our tanks died, to bad he had to much hp left" ANyone who has experienced this fight would know you dont kill Majaordomo, so how much life he has left is neglible.... And if you lose all your tanks on him, you cant be to far into BWL, which makes having 10k worth of life most unlikely...
Just a few observations.

Unless your sever is VERY PVP light, then you will be spending many, many, many hours grinding to Grand Marshal. It takes far more time/effort to do then gearing up in MC/Onyxia/BWL
My problem had always been that PVE raiding requires the specific time that I don't have. I cannot sit in front of the comp everyday from 5pm to 10pm or whatever time it is for the raid to get far. While the honor grinding does take a lot more time total, I can at least do it without as many time restrictions. The main problem with honor grinding before was that the rewards weren't good enough. Now, with the new upgrades to the PvP sets coming up, it has become quite worth the time to do, not to mention that it's significantly easier to grind now than it was half a year ago.
I was part of the PvP grind a bit over half a year ago, and was forced to stop due to problems with our PvP group, now I can do it alone since BG ques are same for WSG/AB as AV.

Please tell me someone knows when the 1.11 Patch is coming out, I finally got my Druid to 52 and wearing the Wildheart Bracers, I am loving this. And my guild has already got me planned out for running BRD this weekend. I just want to know so I could find out if i have time to get to 60 for the new dungeons.
Also, anyone on Daggerspine, look for my chars:
52 Druid Trexus
40 Hunter Trexarahn
15 Rogue Slinkydinks
I know I like my name Trexus, that's the original and trademarked lol. All others are just edited to fit the char I play, like Trexaru, for Shinigami purposes only.

if we're talking about the funeral that happened awhile back (can't remember the server) and the people hosting it were horde, then yeah that was an alliance disgrace. apparently everyone flamed the hell out of the alliance on forums after they did it. I heard the funeral was held because they knew the person in real life.

World of Warcraft takes place 3 years after WC3. It's pretty much you make your own character on either Aliiance or Horde and wit hthat you go do quests, kill stuff, play in Battlegrounds or in other words PVP (Player VS Player), kill some more stuff, run HUGE dungeons (instances) and get kick ass armor. Very addicting game and sometimes you meet cool people and then you meet the idiots (some of you know what I mean).
Talk to someone and they can give you a free 10 day trial Blizzard is running right now. On the trial, lvl cap is 20, you can't get anymore than 20 Gold and you can't do Battlegrounds either. Other than that, you have fun and get guilded and run instances. IT"S GREAT!

Zomg, it's like the best game ever. Basically think of any RPG game times 10.
You pick a faction (Horde or Alliance)
Pick a race (human, dwarf, gnome, or night elves for alliance)(undead, orc, tauren, or trolls for horde)
Pick a class (warrior, rogue, mage, priest, hunter, druid, paladin (alliance only), shaman (horde only))
Then within the game you get to pick two professions to specialize in (mining, tailoring, skinning, engineering, enchanting, herbalism, alchemy, blacksmith, leatherworking). You can also specialize in one secondary specialize (first aid, cooking, and fishing)
There are battlegrounds where you fight the opposite faction in games such as capture the flag, mineral gathering, and AV (which is kinda like tug of war where you keep pushing until you reach the other faction's General and kill him)
There is also world PvP where you can go and roam the world and kill the opposite faction. You can also raid other cities and kill bosses.
End-game raids such as MC, Onyxia, BWL, ZG and AQ.
There are thousands of quests that you can complete.

Endgame of WoW is one of the worst I have ever seen. Blizzard is also milking people's time for $$$ of course. Not sure about now, but before servers were a bit terrible, queuelines couldnt support 100+ players at one area without lag, etc. Tuesday is maintanence yay! Patching uses a bittorrent system, which is no problem for me but many for others, and patching takes quite awhile, usually replaces 10000 files for some reason.
As for endgame, they keep adding more dungeons to raid to kill time I guess. WoW is more PvE oriented then PVP.

pffft You forget I own. I have done Uldaman enough to get "The Rockpounder" (42 DPS 5+ str and +2% crit) and ZF to finish alll the quests and get the spell dmg staff. Maraudon I want to be 49. My figging healing gear consists of 5 cloth pieces won by greed roll in random instances (they're all blues too).
I'm gonna do Mara a bit once I hit 49, but once I hit 50 it's all about Sunken Temple so I can complete my 50 quest as fast as possible.

Largely matter of opinion. the introduction of the Battlgegrounds have added a good amount ot the PVP acpect, and gave it some diversity.
Many people, myself, enjoy raiding alot. outside of the ones that i have been to a million times (MC/Ony) it is always entertaining, especially if you are in a good guild with good people to talk to.

Boss of Mauradon is 51... with gear drops for a 47. and overall far more diverse drops then ST. ST is almost all Cloth items. Also, make sure you get ready for BRD, that place is gigantic, and pretty fun.
As far as Un Goro, the enemies there start at lvl 48, but some are pretty tough for there level. would be better to be in the low 50's before you travel there. Also, Blasted Lands is good for high 40's low 50's.

the PVE content of WoW is really good, but the PVP content is still quite problematic. Nevertheless it's a decent game and quite a bit of fun if you can put in the time. Otherwise, you should probably stay away.
I heard about 10-day free trial is that mean that I am need to pay to play online if I buy the game?

If you buy the game, you get 1 month free.
I quit before battlegrounds came, I heard horrible stories about them. And as for raiding, I just dont see whats so fun raiding the same place over and over again to get an item. I believe there was a Raid vs Casual Player argument, since Raid gear is obviously superior.
Blizzard made this game too item based, even though they said they would not do this :/. I remember the time when Arcanite Reaper was the best cause of its highest max damage. Those were the good days.

at Boulderfist(PVP) TEST REALM IS GOOD!
End game really really sucks in WoW. I mean once you hit 60 all there is left is to spend countless hours killing stuff in hopes you get some uber leet drop.
And if you are lucky to be in a good end game raiding guild you get to turn WoW into your 2nd job.
It's not fun at all after awhile.
I have 2 level 60's one a fully geared out raiding rogue and the other a HW Mage. And I now hate the game.
I tired both side the raiding and the PvP and trust me the game at level 60 becomes a total bore. There is only so much you can do and once you have done it there is no reason to ever play again.

Seriously bored with Molten Bore and starting to get bored with BWL. The worst point of WOW is there aren't anything to do once you got to 60. (Lv 60 = Raiding + BG + Lving an alt + farming -> till you quit the game) Well at least we have started with AQ. But since all my friends are playing it I doesn't have much a choice, meanwhile, just keep myself awake and hope the damn BWL xbow drops :/

the difference between our situations is that ur friends probably live close to you, while mine currently live around 2000 miles away from me. it's hard to get in touch with each other, so playing the same game together is always fun.

I have better gear then this guild even has access to yet, but I still have alot of fun playing with friends, teaching people what to do, and just playign the game. And for those interested, no i do not PVP. But i am in the top PVP guild on ym server if i did decide to start. (These guys had our first 4 GM's, before they finished MC)

Paying 30 bucks to play a game that's great against speanding 50 bucks here and their for a game that will be beaten in less than a week and have no real replay value and even spending over 200 dollars on the system and extra controllers.

ex. my friend who was getting pretty good grades now is getting almost failing grades because everyday when he gets home he's playing this game until he goes to sleep.
another example is a friend of mine's DAD quit his job to play this game... now there's something seriously wrong with that...
you cant judge the game by doing some quests on youre friends computer, the game as so much more then that.
you say rpg's is just killing people and FPS is not? thats the only and i mean only thing you do. the reason many people play RPG's is becouse of the storyline, i love the story in wow and it amazes me that someone could come up with something like that.
and people that quit there jobs/school is there own fault, you cant blame the game, the game dont say play me or ill kill you. each person can make there own desicions

I really think that WoW is not a good game. The problem is, almost ALL MMORPG games are addictive. Personally, I'm much more addicted to the early contents of the game than the stuff past lvl 40. Endgame content is whats really time consuming and extremely boring and repetitive.

The two most overpowering class in PvP are Shamans and Shadow Priest. Shamans can basically kill anything. Shadow Priest has 30% damage reduction in shadow form with health regeneration from Vampric embrace. Then if you want to be even more overpowering be an Undead Shadow Priest.
Will of Forsaken + Devouring Plague + Shadow Form + Vampric Embrace = rapage of any class 1v1
The only thing that could beat a Shaman is a Paladin which is extremely annoying as hell to kill.
Draffut

I kill shadow priests withoutmany problems. Even with 30% dmg reduction, thier lack of stamina makes them shadowbolt fodder. Atleast mages have the mana armor to protect themselves.
But yes, Shaman as was to powerful. they have killer DPS, Life, Armor, Healing, and are the most "versitile" class otherwise out there because of totems. All Paladins do is live forever.

You must play alliance and you must not raid at all. If you were horde and raided any 40 man content beyond MC you would know how silly that statement is.

You must play alliance and you must not raid at all. If you were horde and raided any 40 man content beyond MC you would know how silly that statement is.

I am talking PVP buddy, and it's nice of you to assume. i have a fully BWL/MC geared alliance char. with a majority of AQ gear also, so yes i do raid. and i have fought many, many of every class PVP, and shaman are by far the worst. and i do have a horde, though it is only a 45 priest. My Shaman is lvl 25, and kills faster then anything else i have played so far, save a rogue. but he also heals.
i know the Limitations of totems in recent raid content. and i am happy you are ignorant enough to assume i dont know what i am talking about. But this was about PVP, where shaman are far superior.

I had actually hoped they would put the Pandaren as Alliance race....but still Draenai look cool to... I think they look best of all the Alliance races.
I HOPED BUT IT DID NOT GO TROUGh..................COME ON A PANDA HUNTER!!!!!!!!!! (you could tame oftehr players, or have a panda as a pet)!

I kill shadow priests withoutmany problems. Even with 30% dmg reduction, thier lack of stamina makes them shadowbolt fodder. Atleast mages have the mana armor to protect themselves.
hmmm... ever seen a shadowpriest with 6k hp and a mind blast that does 1400 noncrit?
trust me.. it really really really really hurts.
also, you cant say that they dont have shield, since usually in a fight against them u have to put up with at least 2-3 bubbles each taking 1k dmg.

Ya, like stupidman007 said, shadowpriest has a shiit ton of life. My friend has a NE priest 5k hp on Illidian. Shadowpriest can rape anything 1v1 easily
I rerolled Horde for the first time and I used to hate Shamans A LOT LOT LOT. Now, the new class I absolutely hate are Paladins. I can't kill them lol
They just won't drop and won't let me execute them on my Orc Warrior. Each time they're below 20% they bubble and I'm stuck bandaging.

I would really be intersted if i got hit by a 1.4k mindblast non-crit. My shadowbolts will hit upwards of 1.5k non-crit, and i have almost top of the line gear with about +600 to my shadow damage. Before curse of shadows and a trinket atleast. Shadowbolt 3 second cast mindblast 1.5, so mindblast gets even less increased damage from gear....
Hmm... I guess with a 4 or 5 stacked Shadow Vulnerability, and a trinket, it could be possible.... but no way would i let my shadow get stacked that high. And to have daamge that high, getting a stamina of 6k life at the same time would be almost impossible. I can only get that goign a certain spec that affords me +15% stamina...
I dont know, i have a good freidn who plays a priest. I''ll take a look at his guy (though he is healing specced, i can get him to switch) and get some reliable numbers.

....my Druid is versatile.....he is......
Anyways, there has never been a time my druid has ever beaten a Shaman. But then again I was specced Resto everytime I went against one. Now I don't even want to try because I haven't even entered AV yet cause I know how much pwnage Alliance gets in there.
Also side note, Draffut, now doing BRD and was wondering in your opinion what lvl to do like Strat and Scholo and stuff. Really wanting the rest of my Wildheart set.....crap now I'm drooling again over my sets.
Crap hold on another side note, found the info on the new Caster Legendary weapon. Staff of Medivh also known as Atiash, Staff of the Guardian. It is for Warlocks, Preists, Mages and Druids each with it's own Aura and stats.

(my javascript isn't working or something I don't know)
That link above is what the stats are and everything. It's a quest that drops the item to start it in Naxxramas. Check it here

You forget that a shadowpriest will have vampric embrace on you. This heals for 20% of whatever shadow spell they do to you. So a 1.5k MB will heal them for about 300. Then everytime SWP ticks they heal for like another 100 and if they're UD priest they got Devouring Plague also healing them. Then they also have bubble. Way too much healing for someone to take them down alone if they're playing effectively and they're not low on mana.

Got about 5-10 lvl 30s.
I love the game itself, but I hate the time to level.

SWP does 500 a tick? holy crap, i need that kind of dot on my warlock. Fear is my best friend, and only ones i have to worry about with that are undead.. also, felhunter counterspell takes out thier entire shadow tree for 10 seconds, plenty of time to deliver ample beating.

My main is on a normal server, but i have a few alts on PVP ones. Just as a break from endless raiding.
I am talking PVP buddy, and it's nice of you to assume. i have a fully BWL/MC geared alliance char. with a majority of AQ gear also, so yes i do raid. and i have fought many, many of every class PVP, and shaman are by far the worst. and i do have a horde, though it is only a 45 priest. My Shaman is lvl 25, and kills faster then anything else i have played so far, save a rogue. but he also heals.
i know the Limitations of totems in recent raid content. and i am happy you are ignorant enough to assume i dont know what i am talking about. But this was about PVP, where shaman are far superior.
Shaman are not what you think they are, I am so glad you let you short sighted alliance view cloud your judgement.
What does a shaman bring to PvP that makes him so overpowered?
Totems? Nope they are useless in PvP
Shocks? Well heck if you let him get off a shock or two you need to rethink how you are playing your class
Windfury Weapon Buff? Saying that a lucky hit killed you makes them overpowered is funny.
Seriously shaman are not that strong at all in either area. Anyone who says they are broken in PvP must has been low health or a mage. Not having ever played the alliance I am not sure what you issue would be. But as a rogue who had every shaman in his guild on easy beat down status in duels I can't see any of this power you talk of.
So before you throw words like ignorant around, maybe you should think.

I am curios on how a totem that slows my entire team, and one that makes fears impossible, are not overly powerful?
Also, please tell me how to stop shocks. Obviously you know something about countering instnt casts that i dont. especially ones that the slow lasts longer then the actual cooldown.
Windfury is crazy. the chance for it ot occur isn;t as rare as you make it sound. this alone doesn;t make them overpowered, but wiht the other things at thier disposal, it all adds up.
Totems offer more diversity then any other class, bar none. They heal almost as well as a priest. and can deal conciderable damage sing things like Windfury. It isn't that they are to powerful in one aspedct liek you seam to sayl, it's that they are almost as good in everything as he classes that specialize in those things. all at once. with totems that can do pretyt much anythng between the huge array of them that exist.

I have no no human emotions, it is true I have been replaced by WOW emotes /laugh
And also, maybe its just me because I have only alliance characters on one server and the other servers i play on are horde, but Daggerspine has the worst kind of Horde around. I mean, we win AV only what? every 4 months and then one foot out of Gadgetzan and you get killed and the Bruisers can't do anything about it.
Also, giving Shammy's the ability to wear mail at 40 doesn't help when we fight them in PVP, now they have great armor and those freaking totems that when I get near them I get blasted by freaking fire. I it sucks to have a Shaman in AV and lay down one of those with a huge battle scene going on. Just try once playing an Alliance character an
