The mobs don't change target immediately after you use bubble, and it's generally enough to keep aggro a few seconds on you. I'm not even sure taunt works when bubbles is up anyway (I always taunt anyway)

my guild bubble taunts on DS deathwing so that our solo tank can 1 tank everything but the last phase at which point our druid goes bear and off tanks.

I remember seeing a chart before of how much it actually costs to maintain servers for a MMO in terms of your monthly sub fee and how its like 1% or something. Does anyone know where you can find that information?

My guess is this information would at best be wild guessing and at worst completely fabricated. This is not something a company would release details on.

Bandwidth cost is really low. Material..I have no idea, but considering each server generates millions, it can't be that high either. Building, employee, and everything else, again, I don'r know, ibut it's hard to believe it's more than a few %.

Regardless, I think I'm getting the hang of it. I switched my meters to healing just so I can "race" people, and with liberal use of Divine Plea and knowing when to melee for regen I'm happy with my mana usage/conservation

I'll go home to test it if no one knows but it'll be some information to throw at the impale tank.

Sounds about right. I very rarely use WoG, though. For single target I use holy light, but also use divine a fair amount. It costs quite a bit of mana, but my gear level is able to keep up with it (400). Aoe is always HR with HS on cd for the speed boost, and LoD @ 3 HP. Cooldowns I use when it appears necessary, although I also use DF as a mana cooldown if I know I'm going to be casting out the ass. (2pc t13) A link to your armory might give me a little bit more information related to spec/equipment and whatnot. Just make sure you have one point in Blessed Life. It procs off of a lot of abilities in DS and I hardly see any paladin with it.

Bubble taunting does work as far as I can tell, I do it every now and then. Bubble -> taunt and it will be on you for a bit.

Edit: Sorry for the late response. Didn't even notice you reply back. =\

Does anyone know if there's an addon to tell you when you've been undercut? I know auctionator has a "check for undercuts" function, but that still requires you to be at the AH. I'm thinking of something similar to how it shows up in chat when you have been outbid or when something expires, "cock juggling thunder cunt has undercut your shit again" or whatever.

**Siniroth** · 2012-02-16 03:40

I can't imagine an addon would know without having some direct access to the AH, which requires your presence. There may be a way to do it with the online AH? I haven't really looked into that enough to say

No prob, glad you took the time to read and agree with what I am doing. I'll grab a point in Blessed Life the next time I respec. Can't show armory, rarely in healing gear/spec for now, so no point.
Gear wise it's all int+haste, because due to how I am not playing the class properly/seriously (for now, i.e. on raid level), and Inferno Rubies are costing 200g each, I went for the cheap route and gemmed orange (int+haste) and purple (int+spirit) where applicable.

You're right about Word of glory, I do find myself rarely using it. Maybe if I was healing 5 mans (not healed one before, only 25 man) I'd use it a bit more/freely, but because in LFR there's no co-ordination and that I'm not told to focus on the tank, I find myself just spamming Light of Dawn to cover grounds. Only used WoG when the tank really needed the extra bit of healing.

My style will probably change when I land in a serious 10/25 man raid.

And yup, I tested bubble taunt on trash before archbishop the other night, can confirm it worked. Shaman got slapped once as my taunt key was elsewhere, but I confirmed 1 (or 2?) of my hits were "immune" after taunting.

Is 39k dps okay on Heroic Ultraxion (survival hunter ilvl 394)? I know I'm still far from World of Log ranking, but I have no idea how high I should be with this gears.

I think 40k was the cutoff before nerfs, now I think 35k is

What's a good profession to pair with LW? I have skinning atm, but would like to eventually drop it in favor of something that will be a bigger benefit.

Or maybe I should just hang onto it for now for when MoP comes out to help get LW up fast and cheaply?

**Kaylia** · 2012-02-20 15:21

Cataclysm is almost over, and no one know what the next best thing will be. At this point, it's mostly a gamble...just expect to pay quite a lot to level them in the future.

Right now, jewelcraft is the best if you don't plan to fill your gears with epic gems (3x67stats instead of "+40" gem ), but the worst after alchemy if you have epic everywhere. Blacksmithing is the best if you're using epic gems in every slot since you get 2 bonus slots.

You probably won't make big money of any craft right now, but anything with purple gears can be worthwhile if you pay attention to AH price.

**Korialstrasz** · 2012-02-21 03:51

I guess I'll just hang on to the gathering profession then. I can always make the switch after MoP when my LW is 600 (or when panda fur or w/e the new thing to skin is drops in price)

**Kaylia** · 2012-02-21 04:28

Leveling them now might be cheaper tho. Expect the price to skyrocket when 10 millions panda will try to get them to 525+.

Also, it's true that you will pay a lot, but you can make that back in no time...usually.

Blacksmithing, engineering and jewelcrafting are usually top at the start of each expansion. Alchemy is high up too when they put in more alchemy trinkets

This is pretty true. Alchemy trinkets are great at the start of xpacs, and BS and JC usually take the top spots for PVE.

**Korialstrasz** · 2012-02-21 22:43

Vishanka, Jaws of the Earth vs Ruinblaster Shotgun? I got the gun tonight, but not sure if it's actually better than the bow or not.

Also thanks for the profession help. Still not sure what I wanna do just yet, but I'm leaning towards JC.

**Kaylia** · 2012-02-22 00:17

I'm 97% sure that ruinblaster win. The proc on vishanka is retarded, and +50dps is huge

**Korialstrasz** · 2012-02-22 00:24

Awesome, thanks
