I love this girl, and watch a few of her vids here and there but HER RAGE IS DELICIOUS, she sounds like shes going to cry.

[ⒻⓊⒸⓀⓎⒺⒶⒽ]

She is so obnoxious and self entitled.

[The Stig]

Thought she looked a bit cute, but raged 15~ seconds in after the 2nd "i'm a blizzard fangirl" and quit the video.

[Odon]

Wow. That bitch is absofuckinglutely someone who would spam the shit out of trade chat

[BadKarma]

Her videos are actually good for the most part, just her rage in that vid was so out of character and awful.

[Odon]

The video with her and Mia Rose made me cringe.

[Aksannyi]

[Guitarman]

so is release x86 the 64 bit client?

[Gokulo]

x86 is 34bit, so not if they're not using some weird signing.

[Boyiee]

My version is still (Release x86)

WTB 64 BIT WHERE ARE YOU

ughhh

http://wow.joystiq.com/2012/01/31/pa...t-information/

As we posted earlier, Blizzard has released the information necessary to get the 64-bit client up and running with the live patch 4.3.2 servers.

Please remember that this 64-bit client is still in beta, even though you can play the live (non-PTR) game with it. This means that you might experience unexpected crashes and other bugs. Be sure that if you do experience them, you report them right away so Blizzard can fix everything up.

I've installed this live 64-bit client; however, there still seems to be a version validation error with the servers. This is probably a quick fix that Blizzard can take care of, and we're hopeful that everything will be solved soon.

Download the Windows client here and the Mac client here. The full blue post after the break.

Update 3:10 p.m. EST Blizzard pulled the download information from its support forums and posted a message saying that final preparations were being made and the client would be up soon. We're assuming this is due to the validation errors with the servers. We'll update this post when we know more. The download links and everything still work, however.

Update 4:05 p.m. EST Blizzard posted an update this afternoon:

Omrakos (Support Fourms)
The 64 bit client for the live realms isn't ready to be used yet. For now, set the game to use the 32 bit client. This is done in the Game Preferences in the Launcher under Options at the top left of the Launcher screen.

Update 6:20 p.m. EST The 64-bit client will not be usable today, due to unforseen issues. We're leaving the original blue post with the download links up after the break.

Omrakos (Support Fourms)
Despite our best intentions and efforts, there are some unforseen issues preventing the 64 bit client from being made available at this time.

Omrakos (Support Forums) -- World of Warcraft 4.3.2 64 bit client
A 64-bit client is now available for use with Patch 4.3.2. Before being able to launch WoW in 64-bit mode you will need to download the 64-bit client for PC/Mac (using one of the links below), and unzip it into your World of Warcraft directory. Once you extract the files you can start the 64-bit client by opening the Launcher as normal (Run as Administrator if applicable), go intoOptions -> Game Preferences, and toggling the Launch 32-bit client setting.

Build 4.3.2.15211 - PC link, Mac link

**Important things to keep in mind**
The 64-bit client is being distributed separately from the Retail version as it is not yet supported for use with World of Warcraft.
Launching the game in 64-bit mode can only be done after patching the game to version 4.3.2, downloading and extracting the necessary files.
The game's built in voice chat does not currently work when using the 64-bit client.
[Mac] The 64-bit Mac client does not currently support the in-game movie recording functionality.
[Mac] The 64-bit Mac client iTunes' Remote feature does not work at the present time.
[Mac] The 64-bit Mac client does not currently support the customized LCD display for the Logitech G15 series of keyboards.
[Mac] The 64-bit Mac client is currently not supported on 10.5 systems. You will need 10.6.8 or later for this version.
Additional System Requirements:

2 GB or more of RAM.
If you encounter any issues while using the 64-bit version, please report your findings in this thread and return to using the 32-bit executable. In order to facilitate support when contacting Technical Support, please inform them if you are using the 64 bit client.

To remove the 64-bit client completely, delete the following files from your World of Warcraft folder:

Windows
Battle.net-64.dll

Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4287

They pulled it. Maybe we'll get lucky and get it before next week. I'm dying for this.

[Gulkeeva]

Some people got a hold of it, reporting that in 40vs40 bg's from the usual 100 fps -> 30-40 during mass fighting, it stays around the 80's.

Sounds good, have to see it myself though to believe it! (good thing I got 16GB ram)
With some searching (if not just all over the place by now) people have posted the url to download the 64bit client "beta" that was up for like 5min

On a side note... loving the hunter buffs!
Unsure if it was just a good day, or what but my dps average in lfr went up about 5K+
Hagar (or whatever ice/lightning women is) went from average 32-33K dps to 39K

ultraxion from 33-34K dps to 38K dps (yes using the phase thing, as I wanted to get actual dps numbers doing the fight correctly), and deathwing from average 56-58K dps to 72K dps

now... If only vial of shadows or an upgrade to my lavabolt crossbow would drop.
(also, talk about face melting people in bg's, hoping for some goods tonight!)

and deathwing from average 56-58K dps to 72K dps

How do you handle this fight? (shot priority, pet management)?

I was struggling before the patch to get more than 40-41k (with 7 dps/2heal/1tank). It would probably be slightly higher with 5 dps, but still, I don't know how I could squeeze another 16k dps...


[edit]
oh, that was on LFR. Aoe on the blood would probably boost that number quite a bit, especially if everyone kill slowly.

I don't know...I still feel like I should be doing more damage on 10m madness with my current gears.

On 10man (before 4.3.2) my dps was about 50K dps or so (flask food, most every buff, using a wind serpent).

for now my rotations a bit "odd" you could say, I'm more or less experimenting.

it goes from anywhere like...

(70+ focus)
ES -> es -> arcane arcane -> ES

30+ focus ES -> ES -> cobra -> arcane -> ES

If I get focus back from the ES I do 2 AS -> ES

if ba is coming up any point during any of that I fire that immediately, if theirs bloods, I use explosive trap (near the DW arm/tentacle thing on the ledge).

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...cesca/advanced

Don't mind the kiril thing, I just use that for an extra boost in BG's, I use a spire of globcrap (normal mode)

On Lock and Load, you spam Explosive shot with no ability in between? Or you mean ES -> AS/CS ->ES->AS/CS-> ES

Do you uses serpent sting/hunter mark on every adds? I only do it on the big tentacles and hands

Using trap on adds seem like a risky move. I only have time for two multi shot before they all die usually, and missing your trap could be more harmful if the tank don't pull them on top of it.


This is my hunter
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...Kaiklix/simple
The only difference I see is the glyph of killshot/arcane shot, 3% haste that I could drop somewhere else (but female dwarf doesnt show any meaningful dps increase, and my dps went down last time I switched to mastery), and one talents that I meant to change weeks ago, but forgot.

Don't sit and apply sting to stuff you don't need too, multishot it, save time! (the little blobs, the mini shrapnel tentacles, the 2 big adds if their close to DW) Don't under estimate the massive hit box's of stuff in there.

Like when shooting the bolt, multi shot it when its near dead, it hits both it and the tentacle beside it. Or if that big tentacles dead and your shooting the bolt, multi shot it before it dies.

Trap is great aoe still, setting it beside the tentacle a few seconds before the hemo comes out.. it adds to the aoe damage by alot + it will hit DW's arm thing, and then you can have BA shot at the arm, and up the LnL proc rate insanely.

glyph of killshots useless, arcane shot should be used alot (more so now) to ensure 4set proc up time constantly, and its not bad damage, and a good focus dump, more so now that it dosen't use up LnL.

ES shot since uhh.. 4.X somewhere (forgot when) does not clip itself anymore, it will on the "third" ES (that is why I have 2 shots before a 3rd ES). Try a target dummy and see for yourself (with recount/skada etc). Spamming 2 in a row at 5y range will get all 6 ticks.

Yeah, I tried on a dummy after asking the question and realized that it doesn't clip anymore. Fuck. It's probably why my dps were lower than it should have been.

I didn't realized the hit box were big either. I was using multishot on the bloods and phase 2 adds, but I never thought it would be worth it on bolt. Could save a few GCD doing so.

What's about the small tentacles that grow on the hands? Do you just single target to kill asap, or multishot? And do you manually control your pet?

[Gulkeeva]

I just let my pet go auto till deathwings face, then I manually set it always on his face.

The tentacles that grow on the claws are single target only, be a waste to multi shot it (won't even hit it with multi if its your current target)

54K dps on DW 10man normal (without vishka, just got it tonight) btw
also, reforged my pants to reduce my hit a bit, forgot to do it last week ( ﾟДﾟ)

(btw I logged off in pve gear so you can see what its like if ya want)

checking your armory a bit more at 4am...!

noticed your hit is below 1.53% below hit cap, may want to reforge to fix that (or maybe the blizz thing is just showing your gear wrong or something)
Reforge all your haste to crit and or mastery... whatever www.femaledwarf.com shows as optimal
Mail your vial of shadows to me I need one
and you may want to check into http://wowreforge.com/ (for hit), for dps checking, go femaledwarf, much more accurate/updated

[Mortilox]

Apparently paladin seals were broken for 4 hours this morning, some rets were reaching 200k dps lol.

[Kaylia]

I noticed the hit rating earlier and fixed that. It was the new pants from last week that were not reforged. Thank


Everything that could be turned into crit already is (I think?). Haste to mastery gain on femaledwarf is minimal, and last time I tried to switch, it didn't turn out too well. I guess it can't hurt to try again, but I don't think it will make a big difference, and losing my fast CS make me sad.

The way I handled L&L is most definitively the biggest dps loss I had (delayed 3rd ES = huge loss). My last Ultrax was at 34k with the missing hit rating and bad rotation (not to mention I got hit by 3 lights, bloodlust was wasted, and we almost enraged).


On Deathwing, it's really hard to compare 5dps to 7dps run. The one time i did 5man, I was pulling 45k on the first 4 platforms. When we 7dps'd it, it was dropping far below.

Mail your vial of shadows to me I need one

I will...once I get my hand on the normal one! I keep losing to shitty rogues who pull 20k dmg (or less)...
