no it wont IIRC

IMO the change is stupid, if you are too stupid to not chain lightning whena mob is sheeped its your own damn fault,

i dont mind lifting attunments or badge gear but dumbing down the game for people that suck kinda gets to me

I agree with that, but I think multishot will miss CC'd target, why won't blade furry. That's a 20% attack speed burst that I rarely get to use on pulls.

Blade Flurry is close up where as Multi-shot is a crazy-I-Select-Anything-In-Front-Of-You move :p. Literally, if a trapped mob is 89 degrees from directly in front of you, MS will hit it if there aren't 3 targets in front of you. So typically after I trap targets, I move up a step or two to avoid them being in my FOV.

I think it's actually a rather nice change for Avenger's Shield though. The fact that on some pulls, sap was made completely worthless because of a paladin tank is just a pain. I won't even go into how hard it can be to trap a target that AS has hit as a Hunter. But I think one of the best fixes would be to lower AS mana cost (it does cost a decent amount) and remove the damage but add a "high threat" thing to it.

idk why some do and dont, cleave is skipping CCEd mobs also :confused:

i think a lock said it best when talking about this change when he said


"if this CC changes goes live im just gonna bind all my keys to seed of corruption "

Not if you got skeelz. Certain pulls allow trapping if the pally tank has any sense about him other than, "ME THROW SHIELD!! MAKE MOBS ANGRY!" But what am I saying? The amount of nubs I've been running into lately is simply astounding. No, enhancement shaman with no healing gear, you cannot heal the instance. No shaman, just because you're now resto with 100 healing and mostly enhancement gear, I will not group with you. No shaman, stop asking me to groups, you sing Top 40's songs because you're too stupid to bind a Push To Talk key and you're 12 years old and most assuredly have not had ball droppage yet (imagine, "The fiiiiinal countdown" in a squeaky voice).

That and the horrible lag on Alleria last night made me a bit bitter ~_~.

EDIT:

Oh! An amusing thing happened to me last night. I was in Zeth'gor going up to get the dude's armor. Well, I'm killing the stupid dudes with skeletons (I just used my warlock and had my paladin pull the skellies off with cons r1) and one of those damn eyes saw me. Well, the eyes are equivalent to John McClane's famous harlem scene in DH3. Before I knew it, my warlock was dead (I didn't even see him die) and I was getting beat on by about 12+ mobs.

Thankfully, I'm a protadin so I was able to handle it :D.

I had a lot of those drop arcane crystals when I leveled my Shaman. Frankly, you may never use them unless you have a lot of Essence of Undead and are leveling JC. Arcane Crystals are pretty much only used for Arcanite Bars and some JC ring. I never used them for the rings because Essence of Undead were 8g+. Now I have a ton of EoU because I ran Strat a few times for my Paladin.

do fel lotus' ever come from dreaming glory? i primarily farm terokkar, so I usually get them from felweed or terocone (i think). But I have herb'd 90 dreaming glories recently (something i dont sell, or use), and have never gotten a fel lotus from one.

Do mana pots sell at all on the AH? maybe ill just make 40 for my guild or something.

Anetheron down! Took us a few tried because people were bunching up to much but we got the swing of it at the end of our last raid night. Kaz is next! He doesn't sound too hard. It's all about cheating your mana. As a druid, I know I can switch to cat/bear form to negate the Mark of Kaz'rogal effect which will be nice.

As usual, any learning curve tips are appreciated.

Anyone know exactly how the bonus quest XP works. From what I remember in the patch notes it just said something along the lines of "level 20-60 quest XP increased".

Is this based on your level or the level of the quest? I'm about to hit 60 and haven't touched Sith, EPL or WPL and am wondering how much time I should give them or just move through the portal?

Oh and I looked up the abilities that will no longer affect CC'd targets. Multi Shot (Hunter), Swipe (Druid), Cleave (Warrior) and Avenger's Shield (Paladin) will not longer hit CC'd targets. I think Blizzard is trying to throw warrior tanks a bone with that cleave change but you can just move the mobs, although sometimes it is a pain to do so. Personally, most warriors that I know just sunder multiple targets :eek:.

It's based off the zones, not the level of the quests. Quests designated higher than 60 (which do exist in Vanilla WoW) still received a buff in their EXP (to my knowledge).

There's nothing wrong with going to those zones first, it's actually advantageous and puts you at around 62 when you go to Outlands. This positions you to gain more money in the end without running instances constantly (which can be a Gruul'ing (hehehe) experience!)

Went in and 1 shot Illidan after killing him for the first time on Sunday..

sorta..


Everything was going good with the attempt. Had 24/25 people up with Illidork at 10%. Maiev places a trap "BEHIND" a pillar.. and our MT beelines it for the trap (using the traps stuns him and makes him take 100% more damage for like 10%). Only problem is that Illidan enrages while you move him. MT gets squished and we procede to burn as quickly as possible while he's running around 1-shoting people. during this time, people are getting infected with the "Parasite" debuff.. which causes you to take like 10K shadow damage, then spawns 2 more parasites which going after other targets.

So long story short.. we "kill" Illidan.. as in he is doing his end of fight RP with Maiev and the last of us die to the ever growing army of Parasites. The RP finishes... and Illidan's corpse despawns..

Le sigh... GM Ticket ftl.

You know...I seem to be getting that response for nearly everything which goes wrong on WoW these days. I can't remember the last time I got a GM to fix something for me short of moving my character when it gets stuck.

Got my Spellstrike Hood yesterday. Just need the pants, belt of blasting, and pvp bracers which will put me at "almost ready for BT/Hyjal save for a few SSC/TK pieces." But my guild may start doing 25 mans soon, which would be nice because I wouldn't have to hop.

It still sucks because I don't think there's any way we'd see BT or SW before WotLK hits. I just want to see the content, loot is irrelevant (but a nice bonus).
