| ret pally HELP |
[12 Nov 2009|08:58pm] |
Hey ladies! I switched back to ret from holy (haaaaaated healing) recently and I'm trying to get a decent gear set going so I can start doing the occasional raid. Wondering if those of you who are smarter than I could take a look at my set and make any suggestions:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Lightninghoof&n=Xanthita
I just read that I should be gemming for strength exclusively, so I guess I need to make a couple gem changes.. Also, a couple quick queries:
1. Spiked Titansteel Helm vs. The Horseman's Horrific Helm?
2. Flamebeard's Bracers v. Bone-Framed Bracers? (this is holy but I want to sell one of them so..)
Thanks in advance for any responses :)

Is anyone else having battle net issues? I need to put more time on my account and the site keeps timing out.

Could I please have some suggestions / recommendations for an addon that will allow me to move "things" (cast bar, action bars etc) around on my screen? I have tried MoveAnything - when I mount for ToC, it removes my regular castbar but doesn't show the new one, instead just leaving a space. It also doesn't reset to my regular castbar when I dismount. I have also tried Moveit - it crashes almost every time I try to move something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Lore question:
I recently decided to replay WC3. I started Frozen Throne and got to follow Illidan to Tomb of Sargeras. Inside the tomb, Maiev's group notices orcish runes drawn by Gul'dan. Maiev reads these runes effortlessly.
How? AFAIK, she has no reason to know the language. At the time of Frozen Throne, Night Elves had only recently met the orcs, and even then, Maiev wasn't among the Nelves who cooperated with them. The timespan seems too short for knowledge of the orcish language to spread to the entire Night Elf population, and even if it wasn't, I somehow don't think Maiev would've taken time from her Illidan-hunting schedule to learn a new language.
With my admittedly limited knowledge of Night Elf history, the best explanation I can think of is that the Night Elves (or at least some of them) learnt orcish from Broxigar. I haven't actually read the War of the Ancients Trilogy, so I've no idea if that could've actually happened.
Or is this one of those things I should just ignore and pretend I never saw it?
Also, quick extra question: How long ago was Shattrath founded?

It doesn't seem to have affected my gameplay but I'm curious: I logged into the game at 6a and everything was fine.. slept for a few hours and just logged in now (352p EST) to find my game downloaded a patch and needed to be restarted?
Any idea what this is? I might've been blind and missed this on the main forums, and I'm curious :3
Tagged this under 'patch' since it said "patch required", but feel free to change!

Someone posted this in the comments section of an advice column today (girlfriend looking for advice on her wow-playing, unemployed boyfriend). Most of the comments were the reactionary "WoW is the devil! WoW ends marriages!" comments, but this one was something a little ( different... )

Hey Ladies!
I'm a druid. Normally I'm a tree throwing rejuvs every which way, but I've taken up Balance as my dual spec. I've been collecting the odd piece of balance gear here and there, and with those pieced together with some from my resto set, I think I've managed to get a pretty good set of balance gear. However, when tested, the damage on the target dummy was lower than what I was expecting :(
Here's my armory~ http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Twisting+Nether&n=Shaylia
I was hoping you ladies could give me a few pointers on my gear, talents a glyphs for better boomkin damage. ...I think I really need a "glyph make over"
As for my spell rotation I do Faery fire -> Monfire -> Insect Swarm -> Wrath till Starfire proc then vice versa all while keeping dots up.

Hi all,
I'm currently working on a WoW fanfic that features a few minor NPCs; I've finished two chapters so far, so I'm looking for a little feedback. (Bear in mind that this is my first Warcraft story. ;)
Mystery of the Violet Citadel - When a reclusive archmage disappears from his tower room in the Violet Citadel, Jadaar and Asric take it upon themselves to solve the mystery.
If you'd prefer to view it on LJ, here are the links to my journal: Prologue, Chapter 1
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

| A Good Day :) and a Ret Pally Question |
[12 Nov 2009|10:59am] |
So....
Squee!!! My strongest player in guild who's been offline since August due to real life issues came back to WoW yesterday! Cue much rejoicing by me and a ton of planning :) His RL issues are starting to subside and we're going to plan raids around his schedule. And his best two friends are currently in other guilds and aren't happy. I might be getting them back XD
Also, I just changed Kirsy's second spec to Ret and have a makeshift armor set put together, but I didn't find a good resource online to tell me what I should do and why (the reasoning part is important to me - I don't like to just mash buttons). I've played her ret twice and pulled 1200 dps +/- both times, and ugh, I think I did better in prot. I'm looking for a site that will list starter armor and where it comes from, glyphs, gems and enchants, rotation, talent tree for max dps, and macros. Also, any cool tips on playing ret pallies will be appreciated and rewarded with virtual baked goods :D

New player, running with a level 13 nelf druid on Thrall. I'm a little obsessive about things such as achievements and am wondering if there is a site that lists achievements by zone, or in a particular order. Basically, I'm trying to figure out how I can acquire as many achievements as possible, without missing any as I'm grinding along. I looked on the wow.com forums but didn't find any concrete information.
Thanks a bunch!
Also, any other Thrall players? Any particular info I should know about this realm?

I <3 my guild.
In all my 4 years of playing I don't think I've ever played with such an amazing group of people. People who actually enforce the rules. People who actually want to help you to succeed. People who really just want to have a good time.
Last night we did our first full on 10 man raid. Most people have pugged other raids,but for 10 of us to actually get organized enough to run together...it was awesome :) The original plan was to do EoE....but we failed. So we decided to just take the easy way out and do OS10 without dragons. Throughout the whole thing I kept disconnecting. I was really frustrated and told them that they could replace me since I doubt I'd be of any use to the raid. But they all insisted that I just keep logging back in and do what I could because they really wanted to me there with them. Then thanks to a badly placed disconnect I died from the fire wall. Luckily everyone else has better setups than I do and they still go him down easy as pie. As loot was being distributed they still gave me the Gloves of the Lost Vanquisher. I was the only one who could use them anyways, but I still felt a little bad taking them since I wasn't able to do much.
I'm VERY grateful for such an amazing guild!!

| Confused disc priest |

Hey ladies
I just wondered if I could get some advice or maybe a clue as to what happened. Bit of background, i'm a disc priest in a mix of T8, T8.5 and T9, i've healed for my guild for the past year and a half and we have cleared Naxx 10, Uld 10 (apart from Yogg who's going down tonight hopefully :)), ToC10 and all the other 10 mans like Ony 10 etc. So.. after doing a guild run to VoA and Onyxia 10 we decided to pug so we could do 25 man Onyxia. This is where it all went wrong. Long story short, after a few wipes one of our tanks had to leave so one of the pugs brought in his warrior tank. I was healing the warrior tank who was also MT along with a holy pally (also in my guild).
Phase one went pretty smoothly, no big problems however on phase two when the Lair Guards enter, my warrior tank picked them up, the first one died pretty fast but on the second one he went down like a sack of potatoes, I had no time to react he just.... died. I literally sat staring open mouthed at the screen for a few seconds in a "WTH" moment because he went down that fast. I had no problems healing our guild main tank (Prot Pally) on the attempts before the warrior took over, are warriors more squishy than Pallies? (btw I healed him with PW: Shield, PoM, Pennance, fh until pennance is up again, shielding when I can, PoM'ing when I can and using Pain Supp once to get me out of an "oh shit" moment. Actually I think DE was up as well when he died which makes it even more confusing.)
Then followed the "wtf" and "... we need to get good healers", "LOL the tank died", linking Recount which obviously doesn't show me in a great light seeing as my bubbles weren't included. The group broke up shortly after, mainly because guild members started to defend us (3 healers were in our guild (including me) and the whole atmosphere turned nasty. I hate that :( I felt pretty bad about it because I should be able to keep him up, I have no idea what happened. The only thing that I can think of is we just didn't manage to top him off enough before he got the next big Ignite Weapon hit or AoE but I'm not entirely sure. Everyone is telling me not to worry and to forget about it but I hate failing so its bugging me :( My friend told me that he got hit 16 times by Ignite Weapon and didn't move out of the AoE quite a few times, was he mean't to move away from the Ignite Weapon or the AoE (I have no idea about tanking so forgive my newbish questions)? I don't want to blame the tank or anything I just want to find out what could have killed him quickly and if it was my fault, learn from it :) Is there a nasty move the adds do that I haven't read about or don't know about?
Sorry this post is longer than I wanted it to be... please don't fall asleep reading it ;)

[12 Nov 2009|08:16am] |
I have no idea where to find the answer to this... is there some place I can contact blizzard (other than waiting on hold for three hours) to find out what's going on?
I've never had a forum ban so, I'm not sure how to tell if I'm just getting glitches or I've been banned (god knows why!)
When I log into the forums (official blizz forums) instead of my character portrait I see "You have no active World of Warcraft Accounts Attached" in red underlined text. When I click on that text I get a list of my toons the names of which are all grayed out. There is an asterisk (*) beside each toon which leads to the bottom of the list, another asterisk and the comment, "*The characters on this account are unavailable, as the account has expired or is prohibited from posting."
Since I'm IN GAME right now I know I'm on an active account... does this mean I somehow earned myself a forum ban??
Edit: Apparently it's a billing cycle error:

| Calculating Gear Score? (NOT a QQ) |
[12 Nov 2009|07:49am] |
So, last night I was chillin' in Darkshore, killing rabid thistle bears and working on my loremaster achievement, when I got a whisper from a stranger:
Mysterious Druid: Kel saved to 10 toc?
Me: She's never done it actually (Don't ask me why I answered in 3rd person)
Mysterious Druid: Mmkay, I'll ask the raid leader. Do you have a gear score by chance?
Me: No, I'm afraid I don't, but I know that I'm right on the edge.
I didn't hear anything again, which doesn't surprise me and was fine because I'd been heading off to bed anyway (and it amuses me that this mysterious druid never asked me my spec or asked me if I wanted to go to 10 toc O.o). But it did get me thinking...
I am an officer of a casual/social guild. When I raid (which is rare), it's usually with KittenPug, who I'm familiar with. I farmed heroics for a long time but stopped shortly before gear scores really became a big deal. While I do miss raiding, I have been discouraged by the fact that to get into a raid any more, you have to already have the achievement, so I've just been letting my 80 collect dust. This means that I never bothered to look into this gear score thing. And last night, I realized that... maybe I should. Just in case I get asked that again. I should have an answer, right?
Which brings me to my super noobish question. Controversy regarding the gear score aside... how does one calculate gear score? Do I just add up the ilevel of all my equipment? Do I have to get an add-on to calculate it for me?
FYI, my priest's armory is here: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Khadgar&n=Keleili

| 3.3 question |
[12 Nov 2009|05:25am] |
So I was reading wowhead's 3.3 patch guide and came across something I hope is not as bad as I think.
"In addition the bosses from the Trial of the Crusader no longer appear in the grounds - the event is over, there is no need to spend resources on games."
Does that mean you wont be able to do the Tournament things like the daily quests and the instances? Are they really going to take all that away? Say it aint so, I still have things to do there!! Can anyone confirm or deny that the Argent Tournament will be a thing of the past?
The article is here, info found under the "Icecrown Changes" section

Any ladies on Emerald Dream (US)? Just about to transfer over, and was wondering if any of you called it home. :) Oh, and I'm Alliance.
Also had a few minor questions... First of all, do you like it? Silly question, but... this is my first big transfer and I'm nervous. How's the BG PvP, does Alliance have a chance? General community attitude? RP? And this would be my first time on a pvp server... how's the dreaded ganking I hear so much about?

| Hi!! |
[11 Nov 2009|08:50pm] |
Hello! I'm new here :) My name is Melissa, but I'm known as "Addie" (short for Adelaid) the Gnome Mage on Sisters of Elune. I've been playing WoW for about 2 years now - I started playing with my husband when we were dating. He's in the army and while we were dating he was in Hawaii and I was in Oregon, so we used it as a way to keep in touch. :) My other 80 is a Draenei Shaman, but I've been playing horde lately. I just made a tauren druid and dusted off my lvl 58 blood elf hunter and kind of got sucked in RP =P I'm very new at it, but from what I've experienced it's pretty fun :)
Anyhoo, nice to meet you all! *wave*
