Armory is blocked at work so I can't look up your char.

Do you have your gear enchanted with +defense? It really made a big difference when I started trying to hit the cap. Tankspot.com has a really good gear guide on what to get to hit your +def cap.

nanofly is my warriors name if you needed to know that.

No need to go super in depth recommending gear upgrades as I can easily check wowhead, as well as tankspot and EJ myself. Hit 80 last night so haven't had time to do a lot of checking. Just wanted to know if anybody had some recommendations on obvious stuff they knew to go for.

Havent done enchants yet, so thats probably 50 or so rating I can get, just avoiding it till I know i'm keeping said piece of gear for more than a few days.

Wyrmrest accord rep has a cloak and chest that is very nice. You can get a epic helm, boots and shield from blacksmithing, one of the best tanking guns from engineering.

Hardest piece for me to upgrade was my 77 blue saronite bracers.

How are priests finding healing with the CoH cooldown? As expected paladins and shaman got a pretty decent passive bump as a result of less snipe overheal and more healing to be done with raid not constantly at 100% from CoH spam, but are those priests who didn't become 1 button spammers still able to be competitive?

Quality and arena in the same sentence? Now that's a first :)

I went through my gear on my warrior and looked at what I can upgrade. Definetly doing wyrmrest rep, got a few craftables, and other than that it's mainly heroic gear that I need it looks like. Might be so close to crit immune through enchants that the chance of being crit would be so low that I can live with it for heroics at least.

Where does the new tanking head enchant come from?

Does something other than spirit affect mana regen now?

29 spi helm gave me less regen than one with 22 spi. The other bonuses involved are sta, int and spell power. Item lvl is different....the 29 spi item is the collar of command and the 22 is a transborean helm.

I pretty much raid with retards every day. We missed 5 min maly by 2 seconds last week because even after repeated yelling people couldn?t be bothered to flask/food. Have great players totally flake out on any boss/raid they can?t get loot from (mostly mages) and then bitch at me about why they can?t be subbed in for KT when they said F it for the previous 12 bosses and didn?t log on.

Our melee party dies on the 1st void zone on KT pretty much every week. For the past month we have killed KT 2nds from a wipe. Last week a shaman anked and frost shocked him and was the only person left alive. Then this week we wiped on KT the easiest end boss in the game, melee gets owned on the first void, people don?t CC people or pick up adds. Flame waves appear in an instant apparently and sarths void zones are totally invisible. And then there?s the list of people who can?t break 4k DPS on patch.

sigh

Malladine the only thing that changed for spirit based regen was that it now takes into account your level - that changes like 3.0 so nothing changed on tues

Vivi - i believe its Surv now, and armory up Exitus on Ner'zhul

Looks like you should find a different guild between now and Ulduar!

Arenas were shutdown because of issues in how the new matchmaking was working and the distribution of rating points after matches (some teams were getting 30+ rating points after a win and only -2 after losses etc). Blizzard is reverting everyone's rating back to prepatch as a fix.


Even with Wintergrasp disabled, the Lag in Raid instances was unbearable once again. The Customer Service forum was slammed with threads from different realms about the Lag. Really need Blizzard to step it up on this one.. it's retarded. Especially since they are reactiving WG today.

We finished Naxx last night, and once again we go through another week without a Tanking Weapon or Betrayer of Humanity dropping. Our luck with weapons has followed us from fucking Pre-BC. I love being the best geared Warrior with the worst tanking weapon sigh. But yeah.. I'm sporting about 15 Epic 2Handers that I don't use :/

RnG is retarded
