I enjoy both specs a lot. Unholy is pretty hot if you get a gurthalak, but 397 DW will outdo 390 gurthalak. 403 Gurth will out do 397 DW but 410 DW outdoes it. It's more of a preference thing, I play both to the best of my ability and I don't like one more than the other in terms of priority or management.

There was two Crimson Deathchargers on the AH priced at 42k gold. Both were sold by the same guy. Wtf?

I'm not sure what was the catch, but I got myself a pimp ride, and the second should sell for 90k..hopefully. Or maybe I should just keep it in storage until Panda inflation.

There's been duping going on lately. At least, that's what I've seen with some mounts and also Queen's garnets.

The dupe was fixed, but those mounts probably were duped. You could dupe anything out of containers (Epic gems, Shadowmourne items etc). And you could also do a hell of a lot more.

Any testimonials with regard to buying expansions from Amazon vs. digital downloads from battle.net?

I've got some left-over Amazon gift cards from Christmas/birthday, but I'd like to jump into the fun without too much delay once MoP goes active.

Spoiler: show

**Boyiee** · 2012-02-05 01:22

I think Blizzard is doing a half-off sale soon if not now - but I don't know if its digital or boxed versions, through bnet or from every retailer.

I love amazon, but if prices are the same I'd just use battle.net download. Physical copies are pretty much pointless now with how fast the downloader works (at least for me).

Are Lovely Charms bugged? Had two guildies unable to get a single one and the running theory is that neither of them has turned in Test Your Strength yet, so the Charms are getting overwritten by the Grisly Trophies.

**Tohmane** · 2012-02-05 23:13

I have Test Your Strength active and I'm getting charms. At char level 85, lowest level mob I've noticed a drop from is 80.

**Kaylia** · 2012-02-05 23:17

You can get charm when you're doing Test your might, but it's rare as hell (or maybe it only happens when other kill them for yo). I got 5-10 before hitting 250.

[edit]
I didn't get a single charm after 60 kills in Molten front (with Test you might active)..not every area seem to drop them

I've heard of this bug as well, luckily I farmed all my trophies before today so I just turned them in and dropped the book from inventory. Running Halls of Lightning and bursting down slags to get charms.

Could be area-specific then. I was getting a shitton of Charms in molten front after turning in Mortal Kombat.

**The Stig** · 2012-02-06 03:29

Farming Slags in Halls of Lightning, got all my trophies and about 15 bracelets worth of charms before inventory exploded. No bug for me.

Debating whether I should farm enough on all 4 chars to buy the mount, sell it 6 months later.

**Jer** · 2012-02-06 09:14

As for the lovely charms, I was getting pissed because I wasn't getting any, while another guildie finished relatively quickly. We both had Test Your Strength. However, when I looked online I saw a few other people had the same problem. I ended up abandoning Test Your Strength and finished my charms in 2 pulls. It doesn't bug for everybody, but those that it does, it's the Grisly Ears.

**Mortilox** · 2012-02-06 10:15

I farmed the corrupted bloods on my Blood dk in Throne of the Tides. Got to pay some attention or the debuff which you get for killing them stacks to 20 and kills you quickly.

I started off doing abyssea style pulls, anti magic shield before they all die avoids all the damage. Then I just started camping spawn, rotating cds to keep HP up. (hard to deathstrike some of the fuckers since they have 3k hp)
Another good spot is in Icecrown. However, it's highly likely people are already there unless you're on a deserted realm. There's at least 3 spots now I think of it. One is incredibly mage friendly(ice lance 1shots, mobs stand still while they spawn and they respawn damn near instantly) it's SSE of The Fleshworks if you want to go look.

**Correction** · 2012-02-06 10:25

Yeah I remember Fleshworks. Most of the spots in ICC do not tolerate much competition. Even Converted Heroes can be efficiently farmed by 2 people at an absolute maximum. Probably going to have to grind out all my bracelets in molten front, assuming the halls of lightning trick is patched by the time I get home from work.

Does anyone know a good Warrior tanking guide? I've tried so many times to try and grasp it, I usually got scared or intimidated from pugs stating how shit I am at keeping all mobs on me ect. I can play DK and Paladin to skillcap for dungeons imo. But as soon as I try warrior I just go full fucking potato. I have not tried since about 2 weeks after Cataclysm, but my warrior was my Wrath main and I feel like doing stuff with it again. Maybe it's better now with 500% threat buff and instant vengeance?

**The Stig** · 2012-02-06 12:15

No guide, just do the following. As someone with all 3 plate classes to tank with regularly:

Your AOE threat is shite
Shockwave is directional, and conal

Anyways to tank:

Multi target
Battle Shout if 0 Rage
Heroic leap into the pack if possible, if not, use Charge, which will generate some rage
Rend > Thunderclap (to spread the rend)
Shockwave
Burn Berserker and Inner Rage (I macroed them both together as they're off the GCD)
Spam Cleave (usually the bigger mobs you really need to be on you they don't come at more than 3 at a time, but if there's more then it's usually not too important to keep them on you)
Spam Thunderclap when it's up (to refresh rend)
Spam Revenge
Spam Shield Slam
Apply Shield Block liberally
Spam Heroic Strike if too much rage (happens often)
Heroic Throw on mobs that crawl away
Spam Shockwave when it's up, or wait until 3 stacks of Blood and Thunder if spec'd into it

Single Target
Battle Shout
Heroic Throw > Leap in, or Charge
Rend, Thunderclap, Shockwave, demo shout, revenge, Shield block + Shield Slam, heroic strike, revenge, thunderclap, inner/berserker, hs hs hs ss ss ss rv rv rv etc

Cliffnotes:

Heroic Throw gives a nice chunk of threat, use it on mobs that get away or if X dps retard insists on DPSing your primary targets

I miss Ulduar's gauntlet for bracelets, that was the shit. I tried Throne of Tides on paladin, but 600/hours was still boring.

Why is everyone farming these tho? You can have the mount in a week worth of daily.

Because I have more time to do this stuff when it's not a raid night/work isn't keeping me late? I dunno, it's not always optimal to grind it out every day.
