My new set up - building for aoe

[TheBigBB]

This will be in the 3.0.8 patch (the one after 3.0.3 for some reason):

Tapping will get easier

"All player spells which cause a creature to become aggressive to you will now also immediately cause the creature to be tapped." I'm not sure why they changed this particular game mechanic after so long, but I only see this as a positive change. Basically, in order to get the experience and loot from a mob, you and your groupmates currently need to actually do damage to a mob. This means that casting a DoT, which takes a tick before it does damage, or a debuff currently will not actually mark the creature right away as yours even though it will now attack you. So you may get aggro, but someone else may have tapped it and will get the kill. But after the next patch, any spell that catches your target's attention will tag it as yours for experience and loot -- as long as you and your teammates kill it. This isn't really a huge change, in my opinion, but you should be aware of it when questing in heavily populated areas"



Does this mean that if you kill a mob only with totems that you WILL get exp?

No, it means as soon as you aggro a mob its tapped to you.

No, I think it just means that when you use a DOT or something else, it taps the enemy even before damage is done. I certainly hope some guy mounting through an area doesn't tap everything just by aggroing it.

I meant to imply when you cast a spell on it, not just by running by and aggroing. original post edited for clarity.

By my figures, playing 1 Day Main-10 Man group followed by 1 Day Alt leveling alternating, I should have 25 <60s by February, all of them 70 by March, and a full 25 80s by May.

This Sam vs Prepared saga is really interesting, but I think at the end of the story, we're going to find out that Sam and Prepared are the same person. Ellay is "their" brother and they're going on an epic quest to stop Fur from killing Vyndree's fish in her famous fish tank.

It's not a very good plot but it'll make a made-for-tv movie and use a few swear words during prime time and get some publicity. Keyclone will be the sponsor.

I'm a bit tired of all this publicity you're generating while you're managing to actually accomplish nothing at all.

You and 95% of the forum. He would rather took about it for 6 months rather than actually do something. Prepared is the king and this guy is the screaming 5 year old that never got enough attention from his parents trying to steal prepareds spotlight.

Least prepared has some decent personal character, whereas sam is the chump trying to brag about an apparent IQ and "winning at life". Dont know about anyone else but if I was 55, looked at wow as a fulltime job and had to pay for "woman to come over" and let everyone on a forum know.. I wouldnt think I was winning.

Move to the south of France or something and buy yourself a yacht, who the hell wants to play wow 10+hrs a day once they're retired :huh:

[Sam DeathWalker]

LoL so you should play WoW 10 plus hours a day when you have a job, family, school etc. but not when you don't lol ....

[keyclone]

very funny.. young, you are echo'ing all the statements solo boxers make about multi-boxers. you don't see the irony?

if sam wants to fart around for 3 months getting the feel for a game he hadn't played that much, that's up to him. if he wants to do his RAF time again having learned the ropes, again... up to him.

and if he has retired early and decides to have some fun on the side... that is his choice and should not merit any criticism unless he is hurting someone else (and a forum post isn't hurting anyone... if you think it is, your scales are off... go to a local biker bar on a saturday night and start ordering wine coolers for adjustment)

don't get me wrong... the whole loincloth thing made my eyes bleed as i attempted to claw the image from my frontal lobe.

Theres a difference between 5 boxing and trying to 25+ box just because someone else already is and you want more attention than them, even if you dont know how to get it.

Im far from angry about it, just I like everyone else im sick of the pleas for attention rather than producing some actual results. Hey if the fella can 26 box or whatever he wants to do and even come close to pulling it off then good for him, but not making it past the 20's before failing miserably and talking the same dribble on forums over and over and over about EQ achievements and being some sort of winner at life (lol) just gets boring real quick.

"Back when I was your age... yadda yadda yadda" you might have been the talk of EQ champ, but this is a wow forum, and here Prepared rules #1. Actions speak louder than words, and least when Prepared speaks he isnt arrogant and boring.

[genocyde]

As much as I agree against the whole EQ statements about anything (that game is as much of a joke as WoW tbh just different). Sam deserves no personal attacks and the only 'attention whoring' he is accomplishing is actually being created by the people complaining. With exception to the who's winning comments and the EQ dribble he seems to be a straight forward poster that I think may actually contribute to the community someday. As for this being a WoW forum; last I checked WoW forums are that way -> http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/ this is www.dual-boxing.com/forums general discussion.

As for the 'GTFO' 'Go buy a yacht in france' 'Do retired things when retired' type of comments. Go earn the achievements 'independently wealthy' & 'Retired' and then come back and tell him in great detail how much of his time he's wasting doing something he enjoys.

Just my $0.02
