2 hand hit cap still 263? or was that changed?

[Rama]

Boss dummy is a crappy metric.

I cleared 6300 25man patchwerk, and might crack 3k on a boss dummy if the RNG gods are on my side.

Raidbuffs are amazing. Also some classes/specs scale better with raid buffs than others.

RNG means Random Number Generator?

Yes

RNG means Random Number Generator?

And yes again.

[Maguspk]

Everytime I see it I read it as 'Ranger'. Fuck you FFXI and the habits you formed.

[Jodwahh]

I'll forever love FFXI if only for throw some ridills on some shit.

The immune you're seeing is only for the move speed effect I believe, the attack speed effect applies regardless.

Infected Wounds is basically our version of Thunderclap, which is assumed to be applied to any boss, so it's super excellent for tanking.

I thought about doing a 'bearcat' and alt-speccing tree, but really would like to be a pro tank first and foremost (can't do that with a bearcat without sacrificing dps entirely really), and felt dps spec would be easier to gear and easier to work with the UI (healers care about radically different things from tanks/dps in raids usually); if there were a way to set up like a whole shmorgasboard of addon data in separate 'profiles' for each spec I'd have done it. Instead I'll probably level another Druid at some point and do boomkin/tree haha.

Also what's your spec? There's a few talents in there that can make a big difference and you have to be intelligent about when you use Tiger's Fury w/KotJ so you get the maximum benefit from it.

I do Tree and Bear as my main two, tiger for shits'n'giggles. The UI isn't at all a problem really In my tree form I set mine up differently than in bear form, I use xperl so I just have a separate profile for that.

Here's my armory, you can see my talents here for my bearcat The World of Warcraft Armory , I've been playing around a lot with them, I like this for it, although my shitty deeps annoy me hard - I have a feeling it's mostly my inability to play the cat than anything else at this point. Needs more JOHN FUCKING MADDEN

You're missing Primal Instinct and King of the Jungle which are two of the things that set apart the lions from the kittens for dps. I have that spec for tanking and it's pro for that but definitely falls behind in the dps department.

And while I could set up separate pitbull profiles for that, I'd also have vastly differing button layouts and other addon feedback, so it still wouldn't fly I think

How are Fury warriors these days? I've been getting the urge to try WoW again but it's been a good while since I last played a warrior so I have no clue how they are now.

Been wondering the same exact thing. At least from what I read after the Titan's Grip nerf they are still pretty good, not as great though.

[Halion]

The main warrior in my guild seems happy with it iirc.

The Kalu'ak Quartermaster will sell me the exalted fishing rod for 52c, however I can sell it back for 25g

Am I going to get banned if I do the obvious?

disregard, they've just changed the price I guess, it only gave back 13c after selling one, shitty tooltip was wrong

aha:

* Patch 3.1.0 (4/14/09):

* Price lowered from 128 4 48 to 65 .

Ok so I go to VoA 10 and am supposed to tank Emalon...and my taunt misses to get him off the add tank D:

The thing that puzzles me is that I have it glyphed, isn't that supposed to eliminate miss chance?

Its 17% miss like spells iirc. so you'll have resisted/missed taunts if you don't have enough hit rating for your mainhand to land specials.

I generally have the OT facepull everything then taunt/IT/DG. Works wonders.

[FailureMidgard]

For fun - Yes and No.

If you do it once or twice, probably not, especially if you report it after (and say you sold it a few times to confirm). If you go blatantly abuse it, yes.

In general, I personally like Blizzard's approach better than SEs as far as this goes...it's generally pretty obvious when something is wrong (lol salvage duping...), this isn't FFXI where they will let it slide. People have been banned/suspended for everything from cheating on raids (splitting pulls, clipping through walls to bypass parts of the instance, etc) to buying items that were mistakenly free on a vendor (some set pieces didn't require a token) to abusing gold loops (the TK key used to vendor for a few gold, and you could just ask the guy for a new one, people got banned that abused it) to account sharing (this happened to people in my guild that had 1 person play their acct to get gladiator).

But yea, don't do shit like that if you want to keep your account. Not a single wow player would have been the least bit surprised at the salvage bannings IMO. Duping drops is pretty clearly not how the game is supposed to work.

Didn't know where to put this, here or the addon thread, but since more people see this ill ask here:

I downloaded Xloot, and i love the look of it. However, no matter what options i click in the menu, the loot table is ALWAYS anchored to my pointer. Is there any way around this? I disabled the "link to cursor" or w/e, and selected lock the bar, but it still does this. It makes it really hard to see quantity at first.

Drag the loot frame where you want it, with the cursor and and anchor disabled. Type /xloot lock.

How painful and expensive is enchanting to skill up from 0 to BC levels?

Depending how much free time and patience you have, not much. Just run instances and DE the greens/blues.

Does Flask of Petrification work for Steelbreaker-last council?
