Re: World of Warcraft

Uh, yeah it does dude.

Shield Block - Block chance and block value increased by 100%.

Shield Slam - Slam the target with your shield, causing 990 to 1040 damage, modified by your shield block value, and dispels 1 magic effect on the target. Also causes a high amount of threat.

Which means, my shield slams do roughly 1.4k damage noncrit normally, 2.9k crit normally and 2.9k normally with shield block and 5.8k crit with shield block.

Re: World of Warcraft

Whatever apparently I know nothing about the difficulty of one MMO compared to another having only played a dozen or so in my life.

Here's "easy" to me. Trickster. You want the best equips in the game? Pay us $10. You got it. You're done. Want to refine/gem them to be the best possible? Pay us more money. Look at that, you have the best gear imaginable in under five minutes. No joke. When leveling, just having a full party nets you 2.5x exp. You can kill everything in one hit regardless of class.

In other news I just ran Naxx-25 for the first time. The group was past the first spider boss so we started on the second mob. Everybody assumed I knew everything which made it fun to run but I'm also not a dumbass so I didn't die. They were only one boss in and by the time the group disbanded we had run every other quarter, ending on Thaddius (who is an annoying piece of ****).

Got Dying Curse too. 2nd best trink for spellcasters. Not a single token for War/Hun/Sham dropped.

Re: World of Warcraft

Thaddius is an easy as **** fight if everyone pays attention to their debuff and follows the direction you run when your debuff changes.

Only fight I find difficult, is Grobbulus. My new guild was shocked when I kited him the opposite way and was a little slower at moving him when he was dropping his poison clouds... I'm not used to people doing things were the healers have to try a little harder.

Gluth can be a difficult fight if the people in charge of kiting the Zombie Chow scrub it up a bit.

I wouldn't even consider that an mmo. I call it crap.

To me final fantasy 11 seemed hard. After level 10 you couldnt even level without 5 people. when you die you lose 10% of your level.
Gear takes weeks to save up for. Once you hit level 50 you have to do huge long quests to be able to continue leveling. After like a year and a half i got to level 55. More just time consuming but finding a group is what was hard, because it was absolutely needed.

Re: World of Warcraft

I wish I could get my paladin to 80. He's been sitting at halfway to 75 for some time now and the retardedly long time it takes to get to 80 is just keeping me from wanting to level him.

I want a healer D:

Is it specced ret? It should only take 5-6 hours a level.

edit: finished naxx 10. That was fun.

Re: World of Warcraft

So I joined my friend's guild a while back. They're a pretty good mid-core raiding guild, but they were full on my class, so I applied for affiliate status. That took a few weeks, and even once I got there, I still wasn't really raiding with them. I did a few 10-man Malygos runs but that was really it.

Then this week they were really low on people and decided to take me to Naxx-25 and after a few bosses they decided I was a really good performer, unbelievably so for my gear. I had downed a handful of the bosses beforehand but they took me through almost everything in a few hours. Fun stuff, and picked up my Kel'thuzad dagger and a few pieces of armor.

Feels good that I'm finally getting to show that I don't suck.

Re: World of Warcraft

Yeah I kinda wish that people on Arthas would give me a shot at Naxx 10/25, but alas it seems like you have to be in a raiding guild where your really well know to do it.

I've asked to be in a few pugs and the only response I get is, Lolnoob you have no enchants or lolnoob no hit rating... it's getting really annoying because I figured 3600ap (AoD,Trueshot) would be enough for such easy raids, oh well maybe i'll get my chance sometime.

Edit: Not to mention close to 5k with pally buffs.

A few people on my server turned the Ice Stone into a drinking game. You drink every time it melts.

They were never not drunk.

I'd be ****-faced after 20 minutes of being online. I saw it melt at least 20 times in an hour the 1st day of the event.

Re: World of Warcraft

So my mage has gotten at least decent gear. Pullin 3k plus dps on race fights like Patchwerk. My guild tryin to get Maly 25 down, got him below 20% last couple attempts I think we'll have it soon. Which means the best neck in the game will be mine. Woop Woop.

ps Raiding in Lich King is too easy

pps. I've run Heroic Violet Hold probably 25 times to replace my level 70 trinket. That damn thing still hasn't dropped

Re: World of Warcraft

You mean the Mark of the War Prisoner?

I got one to drop in one of my pugs. A shadow priest and I were discussing it before the battle and both knew it had insanely low odds and that we'd have to roll against each other if it dropped. It dropped. We both needed it and about thirty seconds later the healer rolls need on it and wins.

Asshole.

Re: World of Warcraft

For starters, I hate having low avoidance. I think that having the stats more towards dodging and parrying a little bit better than just taking reduced damage. I didn't want to get the Imp Revenge because seeing IMMUNE popping up every 6 seconds gets ungodly annoying. My threat is already some of the best on my server, so why bother with a small increase?

Shield Block should not always be up because it's a 10 sec skill with a 40 second cool down... I do pop it every time it's up on a boss fight, but that's only so I can get bigger SS crits(so far my harders with Lath's trinket and shield block is 8.5k).

Averaging at 7.6k threat on a single target is good and all, I just still wish I could do what paladins do. fight for a minute then go afk until the fight is over.

Oh, yeah, I forgot, I wasn't talking about threat, I was talking about DPS. Optimize for dps, since there's not much else we need to do to hold aggro.

Hell, it sucks having a DK MT with me around if I'm pugging groups, because they can't keep aggro off of me, because they haven't learned the basics of taunt juggling.

So I'm just doing my normal cycles and snatching aggro away. Really a pain.

Re: World of Warcraft



Yay pvp, Can't wait to pvp when i actually have a full pvp set. Going to get medallion soon and then the 25 WG token trinket. Thats another 160 resilliance added. Also got 20 resilliance to chest.

Re: World of Warcraft

I'm sort of afraid of PVPing ever again. I used to find it fun when pretty much the same group on my server kept queuing. We actually started forming strategies on how to win. The last time I went to a battleground, everyone was either afk or running around acting like idiots.

Also, I want the achievement where you win Arathi Basin 2000 to 1990. The title is something like, "We Had it All Along".
