Well....I guess that's it!

I would probably off myself within a week if I didn't have video games. When I'm on travel I have a Nintendo DS and a PSP. The PSP is modded so I can play sega genesis games.

I actually bmx bike almost daily and work out 3 times a week, those too keep me from a murder-suicide.

Are you on medication? If you are a hair away from murder-suicide I would seek help. Playing wow is the least of your worries.

Your probably his next target, :P

I don't use Earthquake on my shaman - it seems to do 1950 DPS when on 3 targets, which is more than 1k DPS fewer than I do with my shaman rotation, and it seems a little fussy to use. I'm going to experiment more with it later, but for right now it seems kind of underwhelming.

Paladin tanking macro is:
#showtooltip
/casesequence reset=9 Judgement, Hammer of the Righteous, Shield of the Righteous, Hammer of the Righteous, Crusader Strike
/cast Avenger's Shield
/cast Consecration
/cast Holy Wrath

I don't run out of mana, I have no problems generating and holding threat, and it looks like everything fires off as soon as it's ready. My DPS post-patch jumped up a fair amount on my tank, and my TPS went from about 2500 to 3500.

I wanted to point out the typo for anyone else doing the copy/paste. It took me a few pulls to figure out the castsequence was misspelled.

This is the problem I see in the other macro threads. Many of them wait for 3 Holy Power to use SotR. You just need one to get Holy Shield up. Its 15% more block. Its up for 20 sec, that's enough time to get 3 stacks.

The other problem is that dps is too high right now. Blizz knows this. This is probably why Zenga's groups was blowing thru with out a tank.

1) We think Fury, Arms, Feral cat and Retribution dps is too low and we will be buffing them.

2) We think mage dps is too high, especially Fire, and will be nerfing it.

3) We think Shadow priest dps is too high, but that's largely a result of Shadow Word: Death spam, which is tough on healers. We'll be fixing that.

4) We think Destro warlock dps is too high, but that's largely a result of Searing Pain spam, which is tough on tanks. We'll be fixing that.

5) As we suspected, PvP dps is just too high given that the health pools of Cataclysm haven't kicked in yet. While competitive PvP is over for the moment, we still want the environment to feel better so we will be buffing resilience. This change might be reverted at level 85.

There will probably be more changes after another night of raiding and BGs. Many of the bug fixes we have made today will affect dps as well. Stay tuned.

One hardcore WOW player who's in beta has quit WOW all together after their experience. Wasn't because they thought Cataclysm sucked- but they felt WOW was too different and not enjoyable.

TBh is this expected, the classic of wow went a long time ago, reminds me of swg. but were not there yet...

ive been playing the low level classes and i can say its more fun for the individual class. blizzard know what they are doing, making things more easier for the casual player.

days of being the ownage will eventually fade away because the game will be made flexiable at same time more difficult for the boxer.

sure changes seem dumb at first but it will sink in and it will become normal.

im probably one of the old warcraft platers here, i have been playing very early stages in beta long before release and i have seen EVERYTHING.

i liked the days of tbc for boxing, wotlk release was nice. now its becoming tougher, easier for casual players more irrating for boxers.

but we had worse off long time ago, consider this as a new challenge.

im up for it, i'l give it a run for my money.

try before you buy, you have licked the surface. give it time.

Personally, I've been having a ton of fun with this new patch (and, according to that Ghost Crawler post, my classes are not over powered right now) but it does feel a little disorienting, and I could see how someone who is really seriously wedded to the mechanics as they were would not like it because it is different.

However, for me, what I like about it is that I'm spending more time thinking about things like how I want to handle a given fight - like, the tactics - rather than stupid things like min/maxing talent points or rotations. I *really* like that because if I wanted something like street fighter, I would play street fighter. WoW as it is now with this patch actually feels more like a 3d "first person" real-time strategy game wherein you have special abilities and your units can improve over time/be customized - and I like that. A lot.
