Random Question Thread

Yeah then definitely. Druid is retarded strong when it comes to solo, granted you can gear it.

[Elesirdur]

Are there any Northrend factions that actually have any decent gear, item enhancements, or trinkets for DPS Warriors? I've looked through nearly all the lists of rep reward items currently offered, and nothing seems to stand out as good melee plate gear.

Anyone with knowledge about these reward items and melee classes have anything info that might help?

Get Ebon hold up first for Head enchant, and maybe for the 2h weapon(Not sure how good it is)

[Slott]

hodir for shoulder enchants.

[Vaplade]

The runeblades from Ebon Hold rep are pretty good for a while, titanium weapon chains can cover for the hit rating they don't have. I played prot a lot when I first hit 80 on my warrior so I'm not sure how to start for Fury, but if you have blacksmithing there's some gear that you can make that isn't too bad.

Random question!

In regards to gear swaps and such, how frequent are they in this game? Comparing to FFXI where almost every macro on a good player has a gear swap (such has swapping in haste for utsu and such) does it occur like that in this game? Are there macros and do we put equip in it? Or is it more like an offline RPG where stats are awesome and you fulltime the armors and only change gear if you know you're about to fight something that'll need the different setup?

Can't swap armor/trinkets in combat, and the only swap you can do is your mainhand weapon and offhand, which has a 1.5 second global cooldown.

Pretty much you gear for your Talent Spec, and change for different roles/events. I wish it was like FFXI, but that would be too hard for people =(. Also, swapping on use trinkets puts them on cooldown for ~30sec.

[Boyiee]

I don't think it would be too hard for people. Changing to 500 different pieces is fucking annoying and stupid.

[Correction]

Swapping gear is incredibly rare and situational. My rogue, for example, keeps an extra dagger around for a third poison proc should I need it for PvP or situationally for groups where it's necessary once in a while (fuck you heroic Volazj). It's definitely faster than applying that poison mid-combat then swapping back. Other than that it's too big a hit to DPS to bother with.

Your average wow player can't avoid the giant red flames on their screen, much less micro manage inventory space and gear swaps. I can seriously say, that there too many fucking tards to even have mid combat gear swapping useable.

Same people are in FFXI. It still happens.

I don't know, it was kind of nice back when you could twist out totems/librams and all it took was a macro.

I still remember when rogues could take advantage of buggy game mechanics and cast ambush with swords in their hands.

Wafik:

I took druid to 55 to access death knight, which i assume you're using as your main for the time being? When i did, i carried around a casting kit and a feral kit. I specc'd feral (specilized in feral, aka shapeshifting), but whenever i got invited to a group it was mostly for offensive spells or healing duties, so the casting kit was very useful. Healers are as rare (maybe even rarer) in WoW than they were in ffxi, so anyone with a single cure spell is needed for it, no matter what you spec into :/

Ooooh are you saying druid healer build is wanted? Good! My friend briefly skimmed over builds a druid can do and I always loved main healing in FFXI despite what job I was :D (even main healed on BLU)

[Guitarman]

Well yeah if you enjoy it, spec restoration and watch people drool over you like a fat bitch over a ham. People would not. leave. me. alone. being a druid. Which is great, instances are awesome exp. (anything needing a group is awesome exp really).

[Elesirdur]

I do wish I could swap gear and trinkets during combat as the situation required. If I get too many adds and want to switch to may tanking gear in addition to my sword+shield for more survivability (as a Warrior that is), I'm annoyed that I can't. Defensive Stance and switching to Sword/Shield doesn't always cut it as I can't flip into my defensive oriented gear during combat.

My main character is a restoration druid, it's very effective and very reminiscent of red mage. And very desired, as well. I never have trouble getting into heroic dungeons or pug raids when they're forming.

Leveling up you don't need to spec resto to heal instances, just a keep spellpower set around and you're fine.

Q for Aurik : Do you know if vist bought the NA or EU/AU version of the game? I was about to buy today but google tells me that if you activate an AU/EU key they lock you in to an AU/EU server list , but then again you said Vist was playing along side you, did he just download client?

thanks.
