man we couldn't even get ryolith to turn for us. granted it was the end of the night and we only got 2 half-assed attempts in. Still, feels like im trying to turn an 18-wheeler full of marble.

[Arcana]

I Dont know why they made rhyolith so difficult to turn on 10m, to get our kill we were forced to make one of our tanks go dps to keep the momentum on his leg high enough to quickly turn but it also makes him over turn too!!!!.

My guilds kill order so far has been Beth'tilac > Shannox > Baelroc > rhyolith just because we didnt get shannox to spawn before getting to beth lol.

Just started playing again, any new addons I should get?

Typically, you will want Recount (knowing your performance is the best way to improve), a raid UI (grid+clique, healbot, blizzard's raid ui+clique or w/e), something to move your action bars and remove all the useless fluff (bartender and moveAnything).

It's also good to have something like xperl or pitbull to customize the rest of your UI.


Other than that, you might want to look for
-bag/bank addon
-Auctioneer (sell/buy multiples stack and scan the AH)
-omniCC (show the cooldown on your icon)

Ive played/raided before, I just picked the game up for the first time since the new dungeons were added, is there anythin new or just the standard DBM Recount etc

[aurik]

Nope.

[The Stig]

If you're a DK, get Blood Shield Tracker.

In this case, no. DBM+recount+ efficient UI is all you really need.

Anybody know the most populated PVE servers right now? My server is dead :E

Just curious, how have drop rates been for Eternal Embers for other 10 mans out there? I know there was some pretty severe complaining going on in the official forums about the drop rate but so far we're 9 out of 10. Are we extremely lucky or are other guilds having similar luck?

[Viq]

We're 0/3

i think my guild got 3 or 4 out of all 7 bosses.

Need some advice for my raid's ele shaman:

Last night was first night of firelands. We first did new BH boss. DPS was good from her (Kackee) during that. But then comes Firelands.. we do Bethilac first.. and her dps goes to terrible. I mean fresh dps bad. Not breaking 10k most of the time. then she realized she had her healing glyphs from earlier on (w/e - she fixed it), and her dps went up a little.

But here is the shaman's gear... on the kill attempt she did 13k. that was her average for most fights. We had her on spinners during the add phase.

Her gear, while not the best, isn't bad. But any suggestions ppl could give that I could nicely relay to her? It could just be that fight, so giving her the benefit of the doubt. But if its not the fight would like some advice on things she may be not doing right (I know you all know nothing about her rotation - but somebody who plays ele shammy may know a few things I could relay)

When you make a Worgen, do you also get to choose the look of the Human?

[Katlan]

Your human look mirror's that of your worgen. When you make your worgen you can see how your human will look, but it's all linked to your Worgen

[Norellicus]

Sort of; your human/worgen features are tied together, changing one changes the other. When making the character you can see them both on screen so you know what you're getting into.

-Nevermind this part, was answered while I sat on my post for a while.-


I meant to ask this months ago before I unsubbed for a bit, but how do you make the Buff/Debuff icons bigger with Pitbull? I'd have thought they were under "Indicators". They're so goddamn tiny I can't see the countdown on them. I switched to it from XPerl and I'm use to it's giant icons.

Anyone know much about mage t12 2set? I've read that it's a 20% chance to proc, but does it do the same damage as regular mirror images and can it pull threat off you like original mirrors?

Also, Blizzard took away being able to Arcane missle on the move with 4set, did that get added in somewhere else?

It was my understanding that it does not reduce threat at all, unlike the actual spell.

edit: Found a blue post about 2pc bonus. It's kinda oldish though since it talks about 4pc bonus being a guaranteed arcane missile proc by the 4th AB cast.

2-Piece Bonus: You have a chance to summon a Mirror Image to assist you in battle for 15 seconds when you cast Frostbolt, Fireball, Arcane Blast, or Frostfire Bolt.

The Mirror Image summoned by the mage set (2-piece bonus) does not cause him/her to drop threat. It summons a guardian who appears like the mage and casts Fireballs by his/her side.

They removed that from the 4pc and didn't re-introduce it anywhere else. It was replaced with the 10% mana reduction of spells during arcane power. I forget the actual wording at the moment, sorry.

edit: Additionally, apparently the 4pc bonus is complete garbage for Arcane currently, with 4pc T11 still being better.
