What makes arcane the best @ 64?

Because it's terrible before then. You get Arcane Blast at 64, before 64 Arcane is 100% arcane missiles and that's it, lol.

I don't know what I should do right now. Start argent dailies on warrior and do dailies since I dropped to 1500gold (nothing to spend it on)... level my 27lock, level my 73hunter, grind some honor on warrior, do some randoms for gems...

How much gold do you guys average in a week? I'm assuming it's mostly through dailies. My income is strictly from the AH, but in my eyes it takes money to make money. I usually don't dip below 6k gold, go crazy cutting gems and reselling and end up back around 10k... but i've let myself slide down below 2k and it's not as easy making the money through JC at this low - but I hate questing, even though it's probably what I should do. I figure between 2 characters it's ~1500g/week if I only do like 7quests on each, not including money from weeklys and extra randoms. But I'm really lazy lol.

fuck im so indecisive. Wish I was tired lol, gotta be up in 6hours. Battlefield is looking good but then I'll never sleep.

[Noobta]

Only dailies I do are JC and fishing if it's a Dalaran one. I've made 5k~ the past couple days just selling cut gems from honor + 1 saronite.

[Boyiee]

I usually just cut gems/sell gems/farm gems (honor/badges) but most of the money comes from buying them from the AH and reselling. That takes gold to do.

[Tajin]

I average like 300g a week >.>

So I've seen to run into a bit of a problem with wow. It was running fine on my laptop until today, when the screen starts freezing and a box pops up telling me I had a driver error but it was able to recover automatically. The games working fine now, so I just keep playing and a little while later it happens again, then my game comes back at which point the screen goes black a third time and then into a blue screen which ends up shutting down my computer. I restart and windows says the solution is to check if there's an optional driver update and to install it, which I do. I restart, boot up wow, and my laptop goes crazy and starts getting all discolored and then checkery etc. After a buch of powering it on and off, my laptop finally gets back to the desktop and seems like its working fine. Me, not having learned my lesson, boots up wow again, and now my laptops exploding again.

My stupidity aside, any clues as to what the problem is? Common sense says its wow, but I don't see what possibly could have happened between monday night and today that makes wow just crash my laptop. Outside of the new driver, I haven't downloaded anything and have been firefox+ no scripting like a good boy, so I'm just sorta cluless. If it is wow, how do I fix this? Could maybe jusy an uninstall reinstall type thing work?

Lastly, apologies if this is formatted like crap, posting from a blackberry since its 3am and I have no computer atm. Also sorry if this isn't the right place for this, figured it concerned wow so maybe it would fly. Thanks

edit: scratch that. Wow @ transfers spreadin' out and Trade chat being morons lol...

Prob should make a thread in tech next time but whatever.

It sounds like your video drivers are corrupted, or just out of date. Sometimes even if you download a new driver, it won't overwrite properly. What you want to do is basically remove everything, go into safe mode, wipe out the drivers, and reinstall them. First thing you should do is move the new downloaded drivers to your desktop so they're easily accessible. Google 'Driver Sweeper', download it, save to desktop. Then, open up device manager and uninstall your video card. Your screen should go to a really small resolution, that's fine.

Reboot into safe mode, run driver sweeper, and have it wipe out all your video drivers (not chipset!). Once that's done, exit safe mode, boot back into Windows, reinstall the new drivers and that should fix your problem.

If it doesn't you're probably looking at a dying video card.

so I picked up a death knight I left fully rested at 58 since I'm sick of my rogue ~

fast forward 5 days to level 72 and (I'm a tank) I get hit really hard in instances. Like, should I be getting hit for 600-1000 a hit, going to an upwards of 2.3k from bosses? 497 DEF rating/14100 HPs.

[Eaglestrike]

Welcome to WotLK instances.

[Metta]

DKs take noticably more damage than any other tank whilst lvling *NO SHIELD* hell most tanks take a fair bit of damage untill they start gearing out.

[Zeh]

I get all the gear I want though, and the queues are fast, so hopefully I should gear quickly once I hit 80.

Gear look okay though?

Don't knock frost DW though. Threat monster. I top the charts on DPS too.

Ninja'd an emblem of frost.
Cheesed the achievement...


That's nice

Actually the damage intake disparity mostly only exists in heroics and only when the shield classes have the gear to give them high BV and block rates. At low levels of gear there isn't that huge of a difference.

Is there any way to make a timer show up instead on used skill with bartender (or any addon?

I had that with ctmod before, but it's glitching my current ui when I'm loading it

[Siniroth]

I use OmniCC, shows cooldowns in whole minutes, then xx under 3 minutes, and whole seconds, to x.xx under 3 seconds, as far as I'm aware, works fine for me

[Kaylia]

Thanks, gonna try it.

[edit]
Pretty much what I needed, thanks again.

[Tajin]

So, got this dude in a random, healer (another paladin) thought the gear was funny, and so did I until a 2nd look, now I dont know.
