Was in Halls of Lightning on my DK yesterday...
The Warlock we had was fresh to 80 and so didn't have much HP, so he died pretty quickly to a Lightning Nova, so that left me, a paladin (tank), a priest (healer) and a hunter.
So we're burning him down, burning him down... then the Priest just barely had too little health left over at an incoming Lightning Nova... and died. This left me, the paladin, and the hunter.
Well, I'm Blood spec (with Herbalism), so I'm keeping myself alive with Lifeblood, Rune Tap, Death Strike, my worms seemed to proc nicely. The paladin was kinda overgeared for it and so she was barely taking damage. The hunter, on the other hand, couldn't heal himself. Next Lightning Nova, he died. Me and the paladin left.
So I'm popping what I can to stay up through the lightning novas, as is she, with her 50% bubble and LoH, but we eventually reach the point where our cooldowns are all used up, and he's charging a Lightning Nova. He fires. We both die. He has 101 health left.

Frost Fever ticks before I hit the ground, and the boss dies on top of us.

So I got my axe. ^.^


Love it when that sort of thing happens, and grats on the axe biggrin

So arcane mages got a pretty hardcore kick in the balls with the latest patch.

This saddens me. Now I can't pop my uber macro and burst someone down for 18k in one shot... now... it's an icky 12-13k. :


Edit for epic detail - Arcane Power combined with Presence of Mind, an Arcane Blast and an immediate followup with an Arcane Barrage did heavy damage both in PvP and PvE. In PvE, it was wise to stack three ABlasts, then fire a fourth using Presence of Mind and Arcane Power, you'd see an amazing 16k+ crit.

Now you have to choose one over the other, effectively putting the one you didn't choose on a cooldown lasting for the duration of the one you did choose.


I hadn't read that part yet, but I'm glad, arcane needed a good beating with the nerf-stick razz

I already know that I'm going Frost all the way until I'm bored of it. I love Frost, I always have loved Frost. I've never gotten all the way down the talent tree, but I've loved it regardless. Even if people do think it's the red headed step-child of the mage class.


I'm tanking as blood spec currently, but I had a play with frost spec on the talent calculator on mmo-champion, and I'm thinking of respeccing once I get 2 decent 1h tanking swords.
Survivability is decent in blood, but as my guild gears up in Naxx it's starting to actually become a bit more challenging to hold aggro. I think I've still got a while before any of them actually give me any problems in terms of threat, but howling blast is a little too tempting to ignore razz
Is this an abusive relationship? Go to post 17 Life Issues Mon Feb 09, 2009 6:08 am
The guys sounds like an oxygen-thief to me, sorry to be so harsh razz but he sounds like alot of people I've known over the years.

The others are right, he's not worth your worry, or time, or pain. You are better off without him. You said you'd come to rely on him? That's not a good thing in my opinion, you shouldn't need to rely on anyone else in my opinion (though I have been accused of being jaded lol). It can be incredbily hard to let go of someone, but you have to just be strong about it, see through the first couple of weeks and it'll only get easier. And try not to check on him, call him, text him, or look at online profiles. Stop yourself every time you're tempted.
And yeah, fill your time with something else. I took on a load more work than usual to keep myself occupied, and it worked for me smile

Well, I'm happy, my guild cleared Naxx today for the first time smile it's only the 2nd week we've been in there too, wiped about a thousand times while people learned the painfully simple tactics for Sapph, but in the end we did it with no deaths.
And I'm still tanking in blood spec razz and I still love it.

Got Rivendare's mount right afterwards too biggrin good day in wow for me.

Anyone.

on a good PVPRP server?



I never could get the hang of RP, just didn't quite get how it works.

But yeah, I remember the first time I down Raggy, and cleared ZG, I was the only hunter and I loved having an important role like kiting the sons of Hakkar up.
It's almost tragic that I can solo most of that now, but at least it lets me revisit the old content smile

Oh man, remember the sheer awe when you saw someone Rank 14? I remember Taotao and Vaoni were the only 2 on my server, and your jaw dropped when you saw thier gear.

And yeah, I remember logging off during an AV, going to bed, waking up, logging on halfway through the next day and it was the same battle.
I don't think I ever actually saw a battle through to the end back then lol.

I have all these images of the perfect girl drilled into my head by propaganda, no one is going to seem attractive to me unless they've been plastered in a magazine.


Not everyone thinks that way though, I personally don't think most of the girls in magazines are attractive, you can tell how modified the picture is, and how many hours they spent in make-up. For me a pretty girl looks pretty when she wakes up in the morning with no make-up on, as much as she does when she is all dressed up to go out.

I live in the UK, and although I don't live in London at the moment, I spent most of my life there and there was very much the same thing, alot of white girls with black guys, but you rarely saw black girls with a guy of any other ethnicity.

I think ultimately it does always come down the individual.
It's very important to be comfortable with yourself and who you are, before you can be comfortable with another person in your life (on a serious level).
There can be too much emotional dependance, and that can end up being the thing that destroys the relationship (Aswell as the thing that drives you to feel that you NEED one).
Just be comfortable being you, as a single person. Don't waste your time thinking you need someone else for your life to be complete. That way, when someone comes along, it's a nice suprise, and it's probably more likely to work out for the best anyway.

iim getting sick of running naxx and not getting any enhancement gear on my shaman which ever spec i am cause when ever i go either a hunter gets my gear or i tend to only see resto gear drop >.> and its really getting me pissed... it was the same way for me in BC... urg...


Man, we get rogue and enh shaman/hunter gear dropping all the time in our 10mans, but we don't have any in my raid group, so we end up DEing it or goes for offspec razz infact, where'd all the rogues go? I think we have 1 at lvl 80 in our guild.
They rerolled Ret-Pallies and Death Knights.


So true, or Protadins, we have tons of them, too many infact.
Meh, I've never minded any of those classes... As a Warlock I hated rogue. There was no way to get around the CoS+Vanish stupidity when you're a destro lock, more so when they get the jump on you.

At least I could dodge pallies and such when they had their shields up, I couldn't even tell where rogues went as soon as they vanished out of my dots and all.


Ah, yeah, I don't really pvp anymore though, used to pretty much all the time. And I'm always up for a bit of world pvp, I find that is usually more fun anyway. I actually made friends with a horde guild on my server after an hour long ganking war in Blasted Lands back in Vanilla, one of them had another account with an Alli char on our server.
You're right though, I miss Vanilla sometimes too, I remember when I was consider pretty well geared for having full Shadowcraft and a few bits of Nightslayer lol.

Work out CDs Go to post 15 Lifestyle Discussion Tue Feb 03, 2009 6:19 am
I'd say the only thing to be careful of is the intensity, at your age your homeostasis system isn't fully developed and doesn't fully regulate your heartrate and body temperate efficiently. I've worked with a few kids in the gym (I'm a personal trainer) and I have to be very careful with that.

However, I cannot emphasise enough how much I would encourage you to keep active, and as long as the workout CD isn't leaving you dripping with sweat and dying from exhaustion, then go for it!

Also, alot of the DVDs, internet sites, and magazines are FULL of false or inaccurate information about fitness and exercise. So try to run the exercises by someone that knows about it first.
