True, I wouldn't trust someone from the random dungeon finder to use their CC properly. In places where it really helps, like Heroic PoS and HoR, people break my Shackles left and right. Heaven help me if I needed to rely on people to sheep things.

Unless you tell everyone beforehand that X mob is going to CC'd, it's not particularly easy to figure out your plan (especially if they never played that classes and don't know exactly the scope of every skills and talent). I wish they would force the player to use CC occasionally, but I wouldn't want to deal with "faction champion preparation" every fights.

There is also the issue that certain classes like pally have AoE attack only. I would really like to not break CC, but 3/5 moves I use for threat are AoE. Unless I know the plan and can position myself accordingly, it's not always obvious.

Has anyone ever experienced a bug like this. I queued for a random heroic for frosts as dps and then after a just a few mins I unqueued for whatever reason and then requeued again after that and (with an avg wait for 13 mins) got a random almost immediately which never happens for dps.

I just logged back onto that character and noticed that I was never awarded frosts for that heroic.

My girlfriend got this last night: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50034

She should be using it right? rofl. I assumed it was the best ranged weapon a hunter could get right now, but I don't know shit.

When your server reset badge normally? Did you get them at the end of the day, and got the new daily right after? (or are you really missing 2 frost badge that were suposed to be there)

I know a few Hunters who would kill her just to loot that from her corpse. Yes, she should absolutely be using it.

I had the server crash JUST after a Marrowgar kill that robbed me of the two Frost Emblems from it. Submitted a GM ticket explaining the situation and they mailed them to me the next day.

It was in the middle of the day so no server resetting the daily. I had 59 before I queued that day and when I logged back on hours later after having done the daily I still had 59. Just re did the daily and got them this time so at least I don't get totally screwed.

0/9? havent seen it drop at all

[Tricen]

It drops like candy for us ;/

yeah, I hate to actually make a list because it varies so much, but I'd say in terms of general complexity, responsibility (and awareness requirement), and difficulty, *most* fights go something like this

add tanks
raid healers
tanks
dps with special jobs
tank healers
rest of dps

Should put kitty dps on the top of that list.

Getting frustrated on 25man Festergut. We have like 8-10 dps who can pull 7k+ consistently, leaving us like 7-9 dps that are usually less than 6k.

It seems that for Festergut you need about 7.4k dps from all 17-18 dps to beat the enrage timer.

So are we just gonna have to wait for 2-3 weeks for people to get that much more geared to be able to complete it? We have the execution down pretty good, have hit enrage many times but people think that one day the gimp dps'ers are just gonna jump 1-2k and allow us to hit our timer, like they weren't really trying before or they didn't get what to do.

We have 3 10ICC man runs that oneshot Fester and Rot now.

[Correction]

1-2k dps doesn't come from 1-2 pieces of gear unless they haven't upgraded a few slots since Naxx, something else is off about rotation/spec/awareness. Are you sure the problem is just their gear? Even if you one-shot the 10man version those both have much wider margins for error. Is Failbot showing anything going wrong on 25?

[Thuronn]

I'm saying 2-3 weeks because hopefully they'll get more than 5-6 pieces. All the people we had last night were 2800gs+.

I'm assuming it's mostly due to awareness and rotation. I was almost 1.5k over hunters who technically out gearscore me now, by even more after this weeks run I'd assume.

It seems there is some problems with switch heals on tanks, and getting people to run at the right spots for the spores (i.e. 2 melee get it, people always fuck up, 3 ranged usually isn't bad though)

[Jodwahh]

So just saw http://www.wowhead.com/?item=52019 drop for the first time ever. I WANT THIS SHIRT. How many of you have seen it drop? Just curious for drop % more than anything.

[Izzy]

Same here, that's why I had some second thoughts about it being good.

Thanks for the answers though!

Our first week was kind of an "off" week, missing a lot of our best players.

We started with 6 heals, enraged at 3m.

Moved to 5 heals, enraged at like 1.7m.

Moved to 4 heals, downed it.

Haven't really had kill speed issues since then, doing it with 5 heals every week.

Berserking on both hands still? I read something about Blizzard changing the way it worked and fixing it to 1 PPM? If that's true, then wouldn't I be better off with like Berserking/Black Magic for Mut and Berserking/Executioner for Combat, or do they both count as the same proc? That's probably not very clear, but I mean if Berserking procs now, then can Executioner proc 10s later also? Or do both share the same 1 PPM proc-chance?

Edit: nevermind, just went on a dummy and had 2 berserks up at the same time, and had it proc within 3 seconds of it fading off as well. So nevermind that question ;< I replace it with this one:

At what gear-level should I stop gemming AP and start gemming ArP for combat? I try to use those damn EJ spreadsheets, but they don't have half of my gear in it and I can't figure out how to edit them in and also it just tells me to gem expertise and hit out the ass even though I'm capped on both. I'm @5.2k gearscore, click sig for more specifics.

If you were to get a second enchant it would be mongoose and with very high haste mongoose can be better than berserking.

I rely on the spreadsheets to tell me when to gem for ArP. To add gear you have to unhide the gear tab by rightclicking on the bottom on the tabs and going unhide the gear one. To add gear on it that it doesn't already have you have to copy a row (can't copy a row of gear that you have listed as being equipped or it will glitch) and then paste it and change the values.

Sometimes the gear will have a hit or expertise gem equipped on it but it's not always what gives most dps so just change the gem to see if your total dps goes up or not.

Since a lot of your gear will be for both combat and mut you are probably best off going straight atk gems since I don't think you can get enough ArP to make it the best gem.
