Lightwell? Really?

Amazing efficiency, and it only costs one talent point. Even if your group is too retarded to use it you can still drop it and use it yourself

I have a couple of questions that I know are going to sound newb, so please look over that, I just started playing a couple of months ago.

First, today was the first day I actually did anything on a lvl 60 toon. I got a couple of dungeons through random dungeon finder in some place in Thrallmar on my archer. A few things dropped in both pugs that I couldn`t need on, even though my class could use them and they were upgrades for me. While some people said they also couldn`t need roll on these items, other people could. A friend told me it could be a glitch. Is it a glitch and if it is, is it common? It`s never happened to me before 60..

My second question is also about my archer.. I don`t have really awesome gear for it or anything, I usually only pull 3rd in DPS in aforementioned dungeons, behind locks and DKs. Anyway question isn`t about gear, but talent spec. I`ve been beast mastery so far, but the lvl 60 talent for beast mastery doesn`t really seem all that awesome, so I was entertaining the idea of switching to maybe marksmanship or survival, or maybe keeping beast mastery but skipping the level 60 talent. I`m really kind of lost on what to do though. Can I get some opinions on the issue? I usually just do dungeons from level #0-#7 and then BGs until #0 again.

One more minor thing, I don`t have lich king. Since I plan on picking up FFXIV, I don`t know if I should get lich king or not. If I don`t, is there anything I can do at 70 or will it be more of a "The End, thanks for playing!"?

Thanks in advance

When you've hit Outlands levels (which you have), the game starts restricting Need versus Greed based on armor types. For instance, my paladin healer is unable to Need on anything of Mail armor type or lower (Leather, Cloth), since I can wear Plate. It's pretty annoying, but sadly not a glitch. :/

As for your talents, if you can farm up the gold for it, dual spec is an absolute godsend. Then you can keep your BM spec for leveling, and get a SV or MM spec for dungeons and groups.

At 70, there isn't that much to do anymore, unless you can find a level-capped guild that raids BC content. I know there are a few around, but you might have to realm transfer to find one.

[Tajin]

And cataclysm (new exp. ) is coming by the end of year so you'd be even more restricted, not in what you can do but finding people willing to do it.

Edit: That said, if your thing is FFXIV just explore as much as you can of TBC, it has plenty of content solo or grouped up.

Naturally, after seeing the infamous Onyxia wipe flash animation, I wanna see the boss for myself.

However, I'm looking on wiki and it said it got upgraded for level 80 groups.

I was wondering (I've seen solo youtube vids of it) if the "lower level" one was still accessible? (And anything else that used to be high but is low now? I wish to solo random junk to test/fun!)

(I assume the youtube/solo versions are level 80s soloing the level 60 version)

[Siniroth]

They are soloing the level 60 version, but no unfortunately the level 60 version has been removed so no longer soloable

[Tajin]

You could solo ony at lvl70 as paladin iirc and DKs could solo it on the beta too.

Oh well, nevermind! thanks tho

Also, Unholy Presence on DK ... I don't feel like I move any faster (it says 15%!) -- is this normal or is 15% near or absolutely nothing?

15% is a very small increase. 15% movement increasing abilities are only there to help melee stay on top of people in pvp, since latency won't let you attack people even if you're right next to them at times.

Alright, so I DLed idps for rogue, but I dunno how much I should trust it since the gear selections are kind of close. I DLed the spreadsheet but it didn't have the gear I have since I'm not too highly geared yet. Any longterm rogues out there able to help me out a bit?

(I realize I'm 150 over hit cap, but this server is fucking ridiculous in GS requirements and I can barely get into anything without a higher GS.)

So I have http://www.wowhead.com/item=51188 and enough frost to get Venegful noose, and almost enough frost to get t10 helm. If I just use the hands, I can get noose and have 26 frost emblems to save towards something else. Or I could get the t10 helm. It's like:

T10.5 Hands + Noose = Under expertise cap so I'd have to gem for it, but I gain 2set and ilvl as well as a good chunk of stats. (Not a lot of arp.)

Or

T10 Helm, I gain some arp, lose hit (wasted stat atm) and gain 2set.

THoughts?

[Khelek]

2set is fucking kickass.

[Tricen]

I realize this. I am trying to get the 2set, but there's 2 options for me and Iuno.

[Khelek]

oh I only saw

So I have http://www.wowhead.com/item=51188

go with gloves + noose.

[Zeh]

10.5 hands/noose just makes mo' sense to me

[Khelek]

And spend your next 50 frosts on the cloak.

[Zeh]

Yes. That cloak is made of sex.

[Tricen]

That was the exact thought process I had. I was like, I could just get noose and buy cloak in a bit. I need to get a better slow main hand, I got the 1.5speed axe off of marrowgar, but my current mainhand is a fist weapon, fffuuuu Q_Q. So do I just gem expertise now?

[Zeh]

You got it fresh. Honestly though, I don't see that much of a dps difference from 22-26 exp, but your call.

[Khelek]

personally, I love it when I get to gem for hit or exp. means my stats aren't being wasted.
