Lol I love that death knight pic.
May make sense but it sucks none the less.Quote:

That could hurt a bit.
Makes sense too.
Every other offensive ability, except some dots, requires facing.
Even rooted your DK will still face the right way
Yep, you can still turn around while rooted.Quote:

Sure, you can use the mouse but I find IWT to turn and face my target a lot faster.
Very very few non-boxers know that it exists. And if they know of IWT, they don't know IWT works with CTM.Quote:

Made a pretty big & detailed post about it on our forum, and guess what, only 1 player is actually using it (out of the 35 or so in our roster). And guess what more ... on nefarian phase 2, those mofo's still use 'i couldn't find the lightwell' as a genuine excuse.
Lol!
ROFL! ^ why I could never hack PvE

did you guys see this new shammy spell??? seems insane if chained with 4 shammy's. 24 seconds of you need to kill my entire group instead of just one of us? sounds kinda OP. might be rebirth of shammy's if it goes through... then again, it's pretty far down the resto line so i guess it doesn't help us much. Unless your running 4+ resto's in a rated bg or general bg maybe.

Every 1 sec, the health of all affected players is redistributed, such that each player ends up with the same percentage of their maximum health. Lasts 6 sec. 11% of base mana, 3 min cooldown, Instant
lol...I'd be very surprised if this lasted. Combine this with good AoE healers and things just drastically changed for certain situations. :P Who the hell comes up with this stuff?Quote:

Been trying to guage the effectiveness of frosty DKs on test but they are bugged at the moment. Would be interesting if the bug went through tbh :P
They have finally converted the blood runes to death runes but it is currently impossible to use them without clicking a blood spell. If you spam howling blast it uses a frost rune regardless of whether it is on cooldown or not. If you spam necrotic it just uses unhoy runes. If you spam oblit, it uses both regardless of cooldown. So on a dummy you can sit there spamming your highest damage spell every second.
Obviously this situation will change, but considering runes in unholy take approx 9s to regen, we are going to be able to howling blast approx every 2s and use the interim GCDs for rune strike/necrotic.
The other very interesting situation is that the buff of frost strike and howling blast is quite significant. On my premade with approx 11k AP with buff up and 15% mastery I am HBing for 10.5k. Frost strike is about 12k and oblit is 13-14k. I did not have oblit glyph equipped for this test but if you add a necrotic strike to the howling blast damage, it reliably exceeds oblit damage even with the extra 20%. Of course HB and necrotic do not benefit from killing machine procs but it does leave these procs exclusively for frost strike.
I will still use Mosg's automatic hungering cold/oblit rotation, but what this effectively does is improves our single target pressure and immediate burst by 20-30% in the opening stages of an arena. If this makes it live, it may be what frosty DKs need to break the 2k barrier.
Wasnt HB already over 10k a hit? Or am I not remembering right...
Has anyone else noticed this (good chance I was the last to hear but I didn't see aby post about it:
New PTR build I think.
- Many "Account Bound" heirlooms are now labeled as "Battle.net Account Bound", meaning that they can also be traded or mailed to characters that are on different World of Warcraft accounts under the same Battle.net account.
- Mail sent to characters on the same Battle.net account now arrives instantaneously, as it does for the same World of Warcraft account.
- Mailing account-bound items to characters of the opposite faction on the same Battle.net account will now correctly translate faction-specific items to their appropriate equivalent.
That is pretty sick. Guess i'll have a toon on my main account with a bank full of heirlooms then. Now lets hope that they become cross realm any time soon.
I'm more stoked for the region based arena queues and double honor gains :)
How many now going to move there acconts back under one?? i was made to when my keyfod died as she said on the phone the system will be supporting us better. for support and game itamsQuote:

I wish SO much they would let us have multiple authenticators so I can have one at work and one at home. I use my phone, but I can't get a signal on my phone at work, so no reason to take it in. Plus, when I upgrade my phone, the authenticator serial changes, so it looks like a different authenticator.
I don't transfer chars enough (about 1 per year) or use heirlooms enough that I would want to transfer them around a lot. I got a few heirlooms, but just got them back in the WG days, so have them on all accounts, so can just move them around on each account easily enough.
I am liking the slight nerfs some of the dungeon bosses are getting, especially grim batol. Makes me interested in giving those another whirl when it's live.
Go figure... two full honor grinds complete, and now they cut in half the honor grind time.
Still a welcome change, just wish they had done it a bit earlier.

I'm finding this on MMO champion but not on the us battlenet patch notes for 4.1. Is it just a nasty trick?
WoW insider reported it also, But it may have came from MMo Champ to begin with.
If so, this is awesome! I have so many Heirlooms scattered all over the place.

Yeah missed that TB bullshit.
Pretty much they should have either left it in for everyone.
Or taken the points and the armor pieces from the people who exploited the game... which was everyone who was 85th and into PvP.
The reason to make it longer, rather than shorter is because most of these games are intentional time sinks.
Of course, there are as many who want to pvp now as at release, so the reason for a time sink are as good as before.
Pretty much all MMORPG's are time sinks, if there weren't people would win and quit for another game.

I think this is pretty cool. Just by doing the daily for a week or 1 day (patch) you could almost get a epic pvp piece.
I think it's rather terrible in fact, in order to stay up to date with pvp gear you now have to run multiple difficult to box heroics.
what?:rolleyes:Quote:

Conquest point cap doesnt change. It will still be 1343 unless you can get over 1500 rating, this is just a different way of hitting your conquest points cap. Pvp gear will still be earned at the same rate as now.
(suck is a relative term)
I like that the base Honor and base Justice are exchangeable, but at a slight premium.
It will let people who play one aspect of the game, get an entry level position in the other aspect of the game.
The PvPers, will have the equivalent of having run a lot of heroics.
The Heroics players, will have the equivalent of a full honor grind.
I don't like the Valor to Conquest conversion.
Let's say you run your games and reach the conquest cap for the week.
You also raid a bit, and earn some Valor.
And then convert the Valor into Conquest at a 1:1 ratio.
Any PvPer who doesn't want to raid is behind the curve.
Not such an issue now, but it will be at the start of every season.
*Edit*
And why should it not work the reverse?
Players who can win Rated BG's or Arena, and who also PvE Raid...
Should they not be allowed to acquire raid point gear faster than raiders who don't PvP?
Ok, I was under the impression that if you converted to conquest you would get points over the cap but the way you put it makes sense.Quote:
