Now you guys tell me, why is it every fucking other class can get along and not have shit over getting geared, but most warriors have to act like retards when it comes to Might? "Let's see, he has two pieces of Might and would benefit from the 3-set bonus. We should pass to dag before anyone else gets their first piece."

War 1. Yeah that makes sense, I agree.
War 2. I can see where he would benefit the most.

Other warriors: I WANT MIGHT. I WANT ROLL. RRAARRGHRGHARGRH!!!!111

Now the DPS warriors know that Def should receive it first, so they're passing on the pretense that all def warriors pass on non-might plate. (which I have no problem with in)

and Jessy, that sucks ass. I hate when that shit happens. You get invited to go. Someone tells you your help won't go unrewarded only for someone to pull a douche-move like that. If the leader is that stupid to do all that shit and not have common sense, I can tell they're the type of people who probably constantly talked trash about you after you left and how "stupid you must be to think they'd give you something like that". Along with the retards that follow their every word because somewhere along the lines this game got to be about purples instead experience and fun.
Our guild uses a zero sum dkp system which works on every class except the warrior tanks we have. Our raid leader passes out might in rotation to the tanks. I dont think we have any fury/arms specced warriors in our guild, most everyone is specced to be able to tank when needed. We have had awesome success with Might drops, I think almost everyone has the BOE pieces, our MT has the chest, shoulders, belt, bracer, legs and as of last night...the wrath helm. It seems every MC run benefits to a certain class, ie) a ton of certain class pieces drops.

I either have my void or succy out and I still rape undead warriors even though I've mostly only dueled warriors but still, WoTF sucks balls.

I love how everyone thinks that undead -insert class- is better then the other races.

I'm like as a troll rogue and orc warlock, WoTF doesn't save you from shit from me. Second, I'd rather have berserking, faster regen and many other of the racial talents then the undead. Nothing like vanishing and keeping people distract/they stick around in search for me and I come back with full HP cause of the faster regen. And eating food and doing other things save my ass as troll. And I love regening 10% of my HP during combat(unless I'm reading that wrong.)

Oh and troll hunters are funny as hell. We were testing something. I hit my friend down to 10% HP and then he berserked and then aim shot. Nothing like having the fastest aim shot in the world off that epic end game bow for the hunter quest.

Double Post:
And some reason Knight every raid I go on, it's all shammy/druid/hunter drops. Off of ony, two hunter helms dropped. What a load of shit.

I wonder if the alliance gets some shammy drops while horde get some pally drops too, I mean the set drops.

How ya doing, buddy?

Wait a sec, doesn't deathwish make you immune to fear for 30 seconds? surely it's around 45 seconds. 55 if you use recklessness.

I'm glad they nerfed WoTF, 30 sec of immunity? That's gay... Even if I do play horde 99% of the time.

Anyway, as a demonolgy spec, I don't really need fear. Voidwalker shield keeps me alive as I burn him down.

We finally put down Vael tonight and plowed our way through BWL, all the way up to Chromagg. Great thing was that 4 pieces of Bloodfang dropped...and since I was the only legit rogue (full member of the guild, 2 other rogues just joined a few days ago and per se our rules...until a member accumlates 200 dkp...they do not get preference on raid loot over members ) I got all 4 pieces. Add that to the leggings and hood I got earlier in the week makes 6 Bloodfang pieces in one week. Guttgore ripper in MH and the lame Hakkari warblade in offhand...im starting to own things. I want a perds blade though

Actually, I'm sure when it's all said and done, the expansion will be all raiding too. When WoW was in the works there were promises that it won't be like NeverRest, but look at it now. Granted the expansion will have content for people who like to and can only play in a non-hardcore style, but I'm sure that by then Naxx will be on farm status and there will be crying that there's no new content for raiders. OMG QQ! :P

With that note, we're attempting Onyxia on Thursday. This will be my first Onyxia run, as well as the guild's first attempt since they had a major breakup a few months ago. My MC progress is now equal to what it was with the guild I ran with before. Took Golemagg down. We were going to attempt domo, but not enough people had the Hands quest done. Gonna try for Domo next week.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't know, WoW seems like Everquest in some perspective but to me it's a lot more fun then playing EQ. Maybe it's just me, but I just never really got into EQ.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I did something really stupid: I bought WoW.

Anyway, I'm playing a level 12 NE druid (Fairfax) on Frostmourne, running some quests in Darkshore (a place almost as depressing as post-searing Ascalon in Guild Wars).

The specular lighting effects on water is so pretty.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I like WoW due to easier gameplay. EQ had unreal difficulty and levelling was insane. Highest I ever got to was 15.

WoW has almost NO penalties once you die (+), leveling is easier (++), combat is much more involving (+++), it can either be all PvE or all PvP depending on how you play (++++), the list goes on ;D EQ is vastly inferior.

WoW is up there with FFXI & Ultima Online as far as my favorite MMORPG's go. I played WoW for a six month stretch some time ago and got burnt out on it. I didn't like it a ton from the get-go. I came back to it recently and I've gotta say, I fuckin' LOVE it for some reason.

Wow. Very sweet-lookin' mod. Lemme know if you ever find out, man.

I just finished with Wailing Caverns... UGH. Fucking horrible.

I did a full run-through as my lev 20 shammy. Some lev 18 shammy whined his way into coming through nagging the leader. I had my eye on a blue mace and blue shield here, and he never mentioned wanting them. But when they drop, I hit "need". He does the same and takes them. Both of the rolls, I lost out to him. Also, we were rolling on a chest at one point. I got a 65, he got a 64, then he went on and looted it. Got some sweet blue item out of it (I would AH it) that WAS MINE =( Told the leader, but he didn't care.

Then we get to this huge-ass murloc boss. He drops some ring. Now, the shammy prick who was with us was pushing for us to go get this ring the WHOLE time. I didn't know anything about it... But the boss dies. He drops the ring. I look at it and say to myself "that's a damn nice ring."

So I hit "need". Won the ring. He bitched a shitload. But I strutted out, dinging 21 shortly afterward, and am now enjoying this unexpected treasure.

Still, he gypped me out of the following gear:
http://thottbot.com/?i=6175 (have a glove I was gonna complement this with)
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5092
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=6595

But I made off with:
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5353

I'm still a bit huffy. But this ring will be with my Shaman for some time =)

They won't be happy at all until our plate is like cloth and our weapons hit like wood. I swear I'm so fucking tired of someone losing to one in PVP or a duel and then something that got used is screamed at as "UNFAIR" and "NERF WARRIORS"

Maybe I should have rolled a hunter or lock as my main.

Um, to let you know Gech, if there is a druid the fang set should go to them, if not then take it all up.

And Dagget, I see nothing wrong with warriors now and even before hand. They still are very powerful, atleast when they have very good equipment and good play style.

Maybe it's just me, I don't play warrior cause of the fact that I don't like being a total melee character.

Dude, warriors have been nerfed so much since the game was released. Granted, I've only been playing since April of last year, but even then warriors had more "umph" than they do now. In most every patch, there has been a nerf to warriors in some form or fashion. People screaming they're over-powered. Blah blah blah.

With the teir 3 gear, there are a lot of people who I know play druids that are pissed because the Naxx gear stats are all healing effects. Blizzard more or less forcing druids to go healing/restore instead of being feral. I have a sneaking suspicion that Blizz is going to start forcing warriors to be tanks.

I dunno, but it's just funny that everytime someone loses to someone else in PVP or what have you, there's a scream about a nerf. It happens to every class, just not apparent as it is with warriors it seems like.

Makes me glad I'm leveling a rogue and mage.

Gech: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5092 is ok, but you can get better, really. If you know some people to take you through a SFK run, you can end up with:

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=39715
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=9472

I've got those on my Shaman. The Stinging Viper is ok, but the Meteor Shard w/ Flametongue procs more and does a nice bit of damage (I should know, my shaman has it ) Of course, Meteor shard is level 24, but it's worth it if Arugal drops it.

Course you could always try to get them to run you through VC as well and try to get the cloak he drops:

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3903

also a few other nice goodies drop there as well:

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4815
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5730
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4350 (never seen that drop, personally)
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=7076 would be good too if you have a bunch of higher levels take you through that don't need it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There wasn't a druid. It was a Warlock, Two shammies (including me), Rogue, some crappy Warrior who used a shield and a dagger.

The Horde has a lot of elite gamers playing on the side. But there are still shitloads of idiots on the side, as I saw earlier today ><#

Dag --
I'd prefer to stick with maces =p Didn't know shammies could *use* knives.

Also, someone put an Enduring Cap up for 30s on the AH for some reason. Snagged it up and stashed it in the bank. I love capitalizing off of fuck-ups <3

I didn't know they could use dagger either until someone was like, "get that fucking dagger!!!" I was like "but..." "But nothing, this is your run through SFK, get that shit foo!"

If I had tons of money I could twink out, since most of my gear is blue from doing lower instance runs with people to help me out. I have about 6 rare weapons now and really only use two on my Shaman. :\

Hmm. Dunno if I'd take a dagger over a mace, though =( I'll see how this goes. Thus far, only my thief is my dagger-user.

But I need to look into Duallie Maces for my old Warrior. A former guildmate uses two maces for PvP. He's got quite a reputation due to his strikes stunning often =p I need to look into that...

Dagget, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing all I am saying as playing as a warlock, druid and rogue. Warriors are just fine from what I've battled with. And like people say, it's not hugcraft. It's WARCRAFT. In reality, certain classes are suppose to rape classes.

But to me, a warrior is someone whose always in the front line regardless and is the meat shield. BUT that doesn't mean they can't do damage.

I don't know, maybe it's just me. I said I NEVER PLAYED A WARRIOR so I wouldn't know but as playing with/against them. I see nothing wrong.

Rogues get nerfed too, the dagger/ambush rogues but not me cause i'm sword/mace(Mace spec is for PVP later.)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Daggers are a skill you can train for.

Second, I would've left the second that shammy ninja'd the chest, no second thoughts. ESPECIALLY when the leader didn't care. And blacklisted both the shammy and the leader from grouping.

To that end, I suggest you download the Cosmos UI mod, at http://www.cosmosui.org/. It includes a LOT of useful things, one of them being a note taker that watermarks when a character joins your party, completes a quest with you, and custom quotes that you can do yourself. I use it to mark ninjas/assholes/shitty players.

But seriously, there's no reason for you to take that shit. Period.

I used to use Cosmos, but it bugged up Warcraft something awful. It seemed after every WoW update, Cosmos would be all "WTF D=" and screw lotsa stuff up. I liked its editability, ie: moving frames. But it had toooons of problems. Maybe someday soon...

Been camping Vultros & Rohh The Silent (sp on his name?) in Westfall & Redridge respectively. Killed them both twice now and have yet to get either of the blue daggers they drop >< 25% drop-rate my ass. Killed Rohh a second time just a moment ago. Flying to Westfall to patrol for Vultros before I crash. Got him my second time earlier today around noon. I'm quite lucky at looking for 'em when they're around. I've gotten quite punctual

((Logged out addition))
Well, I kinda adopted a "fuck it" mentality after I saw how idiotic everyone in the group was. Our warlock would wander around and grab aggro. Our mage would go AFK and I'd have to save his ass from patrols. The leader was an uber rogue. Like, level 53. He was leading us through because "he was bored". I was in the Barrens LFG to Wailing Caverns for about 40 minutes before he showed up and said "grab some folks".

We started making msg's in the LFG subsection saying "we have a group for wailing caverns. Come join us."

No response.

Rogue then msg's out "I'm level 53 and am gonna do a run through WC because I'm bored. Who's coming?"
Got all the responses within a few moments after him saying that. I figured immediately they'd be worthless or leeches. Hell, the rogue wasn't even that good. He got ganged up on and ran around too much and got killed once. I had to throw down some totems, solo a few of the mobs (stoneclaw totem gives nice time for healing ^__^) then rez him so he could dust the rest off. Lord knows the rest of the group was just running around scared. I don't like saying these sorts of things, but I'm a damn good shaman, evidently.

Test realm patch notes:

World of Warcraft Client Patch
(Disclaimer: These patch notes are for the Public Test Realm and the content of the patch is subject to change.)

World of Warcraft Client Patch 1.11.0
Shadow of the Necropolis

Floating above the Plaguelands, the necropolis known as Naxxramas serves as the seat of one of the Lich King's most powerful officers, the dreaded lich Kel'Thuzad. Horrors of the past and new terrors yet to be unleashed are gathering inside the necropolis as the Lich King's servants prepare their assault. The Scourge marches again...
Naxxramas is the new 40-man raid dungeon that will present even the most experienced and powerful players with an epic challenge.

General

* The cost to unlearn talents will now decay over time. This cost will be reduced by a rate of 5 gold per month to a minimum of 10 gold.
* After a disconnect from the server, it is now possible to log back in immediately, instead of receiving the message, "A character with that name already exists."
* Chain targeted spells and abilities (e.g. Multi-shot, Cleave, Chain Lightning) will no longer hit stealthed or invisible units unless visible to the caster.
* Fear: The calculations to determine if Fear effects should break due to receiving damage have been changed. The old calculation used the base damage of the ability. The new calculation uses the final amount of damage dealt, after all modifiers. In addition, the chance for a damage over time spell to break Fear is now significantly lower. Note that Fear continues to be roughly three times as likely to break on player targets as on non-player targets. In addition, Intimidating Shout now follows that player versus non-player distinction, while previously it did not.
* Periodic Healing: Spells which do periodic healing will now have their strength determined at the moment they are cast. Changing the amount of bonus healing you have during the duration of the periodic spell will have no impact on how much it heals for.
* Reflection: Effects which cause reflection will no longer reflect triggered effects separately from their base effects (eg. Impact, Improved Shadow Bolt, Aftermath, etc.)
* Optimization code known as "M2Faster" is now enabled by default. M2Faster can improve performance in crowded scenes when "Vertex Animation Shaders" is turned on.

Battlegrounds

* Alterac Valley
o Most of the NPC guard units have been removed.
o Players now drop more quest items.
o Creatures that remain in Alterac Valley have had their hit points reduced.
o The buff that is periodically cast by each faction's Captain has been changed to a flat 20% hit point buff.

If the second victim is not below 20% health, they will be hit with normal melee swing damage; If the ability you are using does not deal damage, it will not use a charge of Sweeping Strikes; The extra attack it generates when used with Whirlwind now has the correct damage range; The additional attacks generated by this ability will now properly take into account the armor of the second target.

* We have re-evaluated the mechanics of consumable items in the game and concluded that these should work in a more intuitive manner. As such, most items that can not be equipped with right click abilities have been streamlined into one of three categories. Using an item of a particular category will trigger a shared cooldown among all other items in the same category. The categories break down as follows with category cooldowns as listed.
o Potions 2 minutes: This includes items such as Health Potion, Mana Potion, Invisibility Potion and Mighty Rage Potion.
o Aggressive 1 minute: This includes items such as explosives, Really Sticky Glue and Discombobulator Ray.
o Non-Aggresive 2 minutes: This includes items such as Healthstone, Night Dragon's Breath, Whipper Root Tuber and Target Dummy.
* Many items that can be equipped have had their cooldown category removed and will be controlled exclusively by the item's self cooldown. For example, the Gnomish Mind Control Cap should no longer trigger the cooldown of the Talisman of Arathor.

o Ossirian the Unscarred - There is a new crystal that will be visible before the encounter begins. Players can use this crystal just like any other crystal in the encounter, but it cannot come back up during the encounter.
