Random Question Thread

Not sure which thread would get more attention.

Anyone play lock/war/pal in beta that has played them for a while in cata?

This'll be the first expansion release for me. When 5.0x goes live but MoP hasn't yet, will the new talent system and such begin? Or will that happen with the full release of MoP?

[Clemz]

All the system changes, including talents and the like, will be included in 5.0 and will be active right away. Experience, and getting to the new zones, as well leveling professions and such will all have to wait until Mists actually goes live.

So basically, 5.0 sets the game up for Mists with all the game changes. The actual launch gives you all the new content. 5.0 will likely be a month before Mists actually launches.

nvm

So just got back into the game and need to make some extra cash. What are people doing for extra $$ nowadays? Seems the elementium ore/gem market is garbage, stack of ore is like 20g now thanks to DS being so easy and people getting epic gems out the ass. I'm just doing dailies right now on the DK and running some old world raids solo to cash in but they nerfed a lot of the gold drop from places like Karazhan and Mags which sucks. I've never played the auction house much so I guess I could start but no fucking clue where to start as i'm back after a 3 month vacation.

Talents and the pre release event (Siege of Theramore)

Werent you the person with like 300k? I have fucking 50k, most of which is one through gambling with my raid guild (look up the GCG addon) its amazing

[Clemz]

Oh right, forgot about the Theramore event, gonna be fun on the bun. It's on the PTR right? I've got beta access so I can't test it. D:

Nah I only have 177k, loaned 30k to a friend who never paid me back (figured they wouldn't, didnt care much). I've always wanted to play the AH but don't know any tactics really, especially since a lot of the market has crashed since I left and came back.

[Mortilox]

Yeah trying to make gold on the AH isn't a great idea now. Less demand while a constant flow of ores keep coming in has fucked JCing quite a bit. Savage leather/pristine hides though, has gone up in price on my realm. I've made some easy gold sitting in TB stealing spider/croc corpses. Gotta love rogue skinners.

I've heard of people selling Rag mount and shit for 100k, could be 11.1k for 2-3 hours work if you have 8 other friends and a buyer. If I ever get a goddamn Azure/Onyxia/Ashes mount I'll be selling that too.

Does anyone know of any Rogue pvp addons? I typically want something to announce in say or yell whenever I sap someone, kidney shot someone and its duration, incapacitate, blind and so forth. Also, do Sub rogues need spell pen?

[Meresgi]

I don't think they need spell pen, but I cant honestly be sure. I think blind is considered a poison still? Check out AJ for that to see.

[SamanosukeShiva]

only 30 min raid test on feng heroic -_-

[Mortilox]

How much would you pay for Reins of the Azure drake, assuming someone would boost you weekly for it?

Random/weird question but we're still stuck on spine...

I've suggested the following tactic tonight, although we only did it with 1 attempt, and I'm unsure if it's just a catch 22:

After killing a tendon, I ordered my group to kill a corruption and stack on it ASAP and start DPSing the closest corruption (2 benefits here -- spawn the next big add for use and also minimise grip time). This saves 15-25 odd seconds as usually we'd blow up a second corruption, which seems to take a long time, before stacking.

Is this a good idea? The guild insists to kill 2 and try to mop up the bloods but it's random at best if I manage to kite the 2 big adds over the bloods, and then stack with the group to roll. We seem to take a bit extra long during that period where I feel the extra healing/effort could be spent elsewhere.

So it's a case of trying to mop up bloods and be successful/unsuccessful, all at the same time the bloods are beating on the blood tank/healers, or roll it as soon as possible to get the next bit moving.

So the catch here is:
Risk not mopping up as many, causing more adds to deal with later, but saving approximately 90s

or...
Mop up as much as possible
damage taken by raid during the mop time is increased
(maybe) another healing debuff is applied to some players
Increase encounter length by approximately 90 seconds, assuming 30 seconds to kill 2 corruptions, mop and roll

I take it youre a 10 man guild

[The Stig]

DK (me) on big add

[Plow]

guess question got double posted but yeah I gave ya a good response in the complaint thread

[The Stig]

Thanks, i'll respond there! And yeh I posted in the wrong thread initially lol

[Plow]

anybody recruiting these days for 10 mans either late night or weekends?

dps dk, want to stay dps main but blood off is np, 406 frost 399 blood

have 6/8h exp (and 100k wipe on spine with me stuck tanking), and I could step in and tank or dps madness np, have a fair amount of pve exp in wotlk and a ton of pvp exp from vanilla/bc

ranked on hagara the other day even with some glaring mistakes: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...6&e=8801#Laila

was over 42k on recount where it accounts for running around during phases

don't claim to be the world's best by any means but I'm perfectly competent, just on a dead server, looking for a place where attendance and recruiting aren't going to be issues

guild knows I'm leaving, tried to get them to transfer with me but like 4 guys have 10 85's here already and just aren't up for it, welcome to talk to any of them for references if needed

armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...Laila/advanced


lol got spine down tonight, so I have that and experience on madness now

[Meresgi]

question on the whole brewfest thing. They said it was being pushed forward a week, now does that mean it starts a week EARLY or begins a week LATE? The wording seems strange, as they talk about how the boss will remain 85, yet I see some people talking of him dropping lvl 90 items or something that were datamined. Just trying to get a concrete idea on it, as I want to lvl a monk when MoP hits but I want to do the boss as well for the mounts, which will require me to level up my dk to 89 to take part in the event.
