WoW Best Hunter Builds for Raiding and PvP

August 4th, 2008

“Raiding builds are designed to improve you or your guilds overall damage in current end-game content. Consider having at least one hunter with you with the Improved Hunter”’’s Mark talent for the boost to the melee damage from other classes (ideally this talent is best taken by hunters with a BM raiding build). Note that the following builds are missing Hawk Eye. If you””d rather have this extra range (useful for avoiding some nasty AoE effects / curses especially during boss fights) then I would take the 3 points from Improved Barrage or Focused Fire / Impr. AotH and put them into Hawk Eye. Taking Hawk Eye with the BM raiding build is not recommended, as you will have to sacrifice points from GftT and / or Serpent”’’s Swiftness, both important talents for that build. For the best use of the Go For The Throat ability, get a Wind Serpent, since their Lightning Breath ability has no cooldown and is the best focus dump (ideally a Son of Hakkar from Zul””Gurub, which also already has the highest rank Lightning Breath). PvE MM raiding build - 4/47/0 A decent raid build, mainly focusing on damage. Compared to some other raid builds it puts the focus on lots of crits combined with the Go For the Throat ability, which will let your pet do an additional 86-283 damage with claw / bite every time you crit. For a pet you might want to consider a Wolf for their Furious Howl ability, which gives you and nearby party members a physical damage buff on your next attack or a Wind Serpent, which makes best use of Go For the Throat! Note that as this build is purely designed for high DPS, it does not include Hawk Eye. PvE MM raiding build (with improved hunter”’’s mark) - 7/44/0 It”’’s a good idea to have a hunter with you in your raid with improved hunters mark for a nice damage boost to your melee classes.


This one also combines Impr. AotH for faster Autoshots and and a 2% dmg increase from Focused Fire to compensate for losing GFTT and Barrage. PvE BM raiding build - 39/12/0 This is a bit of an out of the ordinary build, mainly relying on your pet to do a lot of damage. You won””t have The Beast Within, but you””ll have Go For The Throat, and combined with Impr. AotH, Serpent”’’s Swiftness and Lethal Shots and a fast ranged weapon, your pet will be doing damage like crazy. Also this build is ideal to use with Impr. Hunter”’’s Mark, since you don””t need Efficiency as much as MM Hunters, giving them the opportunity to put those 5 points elsewhere, to increase their ranged damage! PvE Surv raiding build - 5/5/41 Having one hunter (with the most agility) with you in the raid with this build can increase DPS of the other physical damage classes considerably, thanks to the Expose Weakness proc. Most useful in 40-player instances since there are a lot of players that can take advantage of this talent, in it”’’s current state not as good for 20- and later 25-player instances. Best PvP Hunter Builds In Player versus Player combat, following builds can prove most effective in killing other players and / or helping your team win. PvP MM / Surv build - 0/43/8 Mainly for Group PvP, this combines very high damage output with some useful talents from the survival tree. You could switch the points from entrapment to improved wing clip, which is better for dueling whereas entrapment can be useful in some other situations, especially in WSG. PvP Surv / MM build - 0/21/30 Your damage will be lower than the 0/43/8 build but you get higher survivability, faster traps and more hit/crit chance. Whether to choose scatter shot or wyvern sting is a personal choice although i would suggest scatter shot, it has only a 30 second cooldown and there is no DOT afterwards which makes scatter + trap a solid option to get some range from your target. PvP BM build - 43/5/3 In PvP, hunter pets are often underestimated.

wow gold They can deal a nice amount of damage, and in the meantime interrupt caster”’’s so it takes a lot longer for them to cast spells. Intimidation is a useful 3 second stun, giving you the chance to wingclip your target and get back into range if timed perfectly. With Bestial Wrath and The Beast Within, you and your pet will even be unstoppable for 18 seconds every 2 minutes! Make sure you get a pet with a fast attack speed like, for example, a cat. Currently the fastest attack speed pets in the game (1.0 attacks per second). ” Don’t lose focus and don’t be greedy Even when you’ve sat down for a drink, don’t forget that you’re still in the midst of a battle. wow gold If you’re out of combat, your teammates are likely in the thick of it and could use your help. Particularly for healers, taking some distance and breaking line of sight could also mean that you won’t be able to get back to your teammates in time. This is one of the most critical points of drinking — knowing when to drink. mp3 It’s a judgement call. As a healer, if your teammates are getting beat upon and you’re running out of mana, what do you do. Conventional wisdom dictates that you heal until you’re at 0 mana, hopefully topping your teammates off to give them enough to last while you drink. wow gold Unfortunately, when healers (or other casters, for that matter) are out of mana, opponents usually call for a target switch, making it doubly hard to escape. The most sensible thing would be to heal until you’re just a few spells short of bone dry. You’ll need five seconds to get out of combat, anyway, so the last spell you cast should ideally not leave you absolutely drained. buy wow gold Don’t wait until you’re running dangerously low before you drink, and conversely… don’t drink too long. You will almost never get the benefits of a full duration drink (although we saw some massive drinking sprees during the MLG tournament), and sometimes those four precious seconds — the minimum time to get the effects of a drink in Arenas post Patch 2.4 — are enough. wow gold Ideally, you should get as many ticks in as possible without letting your teammates hang out to dry.RELATED LINKS:

World of Warcraft Professions Jewelcrafting

August 4th, 2008

 ”The World of Warcraft Burning Crusade expansion brings us the new profession of WOW Jewelcrafting. With WOW Jewelcrafting you will be able to craft accessories that were only previously available as loot rewards and dropped items such as necklaces, trinkets, crowns, and rings. As a Master WOW Jewelcrafter you will learn how to cut socketable gems that will boost particular attributes of new types of armor when they are fitted into their slots. Any and every character class can stand to benefit from the profession of WOW Jewelcrafting because the accessories created through this profession can be used by anyone. There is jewelry for every possible need imaginable. There are trinkets that provide mana regeneration, necklaces that provide high attack power, rings with defense and armor, etc. The benefits of WOW Jewelcrafting are not concentrated upon any single role or character class. You will obviously want to pair WoW Jewelcrafting with the profession of mining due to your need for ore and gems. Other things that you will require for some WOW Jewelcrafting are alchemy mats, enchanting mats, and, to a lesser extent, various mob drops. WOW Jewelcrafting is a profession that can be used anywhere as you will have no need of a fixed resource such as a Moonwell or a Forge. However, most WOW Jewelcrafting items do require a Jeweler’s Kit for fabrication. You can acquire this trade item from almost any Trade Goods vendor for eight silver. Metal bars and gemstones are necessary for every jewelry design. So, as stated before, Mining is obviously the best choice for a second profession to pair with WOW Jewelcrafting. There are three primary reasons for choosing Mining as you second profession. The first and most obvious reason is that it makes WoW Jewelcrafting less expensive. The second reason is that, unless you are mining it yourself, ore can be a scarce resource when compared to the availability and portability of bars.


The demand for metal bars is high and widespread. While it is the profession of WOW Jewelcrafting has the primary demand for ore. Third and finally, when you are mining you will obtain gems naturally on the nodes and you will also be getting gems from Prospecting the ore that you mine, as well as the stones that are used to make statues. When you reach level twenty you can learn Prospecting from your trainer. This secondary skill will give you the ability to extract gems from mined ore. This added advantage will raise your chances of locating gems that you can use to make jewelry. If Mining is not your cup of tea you still have the ability to Prospect ore. wow gold You do, however, require a WOW Jewelcrafting skill level that is equal to the minimum skill level needed to mine the ore in order to prospect it. ” “Hi all I’m a Gnomish Engineer. I have levelled Engineering ages ago and the pain is still vivid in my mind. wow gold Of all the items i have created (not that many available to begin with) the only i use on a relatively regular basis is Field repair bot. I might have used the Tanaris teleport a few times (a couple to my death), maybe a Gnomish death ray here and there for the novelty of it (but it usually doesn’t go off for various reasons) and made each of the dragonlings but frankly 1h cooldown and the dmg output is meh. So now i’m wondering why/if i should level up to 375.. wow power leveling I’ve looked at the craftable items and am not impressed at all. - the potion injectors are a nice idea but in the end only save a couple bag space - the Poultrizer could be fun, but it’s not an actual Crowd control.

Players can still attack/flee etc AND it costs an arm and a leg to craft - The rocket turret is probably going to hit for nothing again - the epic head pieces are not even socketed. mp3 players - the mailbox. why. there is a mailbox in every bloody town The only item i would look forward to is the Nigh Invulnerability Belt, but like any gnomish item it has more chances to get me killed than to actually be helpfull. wow gold /sigh. I was a tailor before. Now when i look at all the new tailoring patterns i say wow! So many epics, and good ones too. wow gold ALL Bind on Pickup :( Bags, nets, lots of stuff, and with mats that drop from most mobs in Azeroth!

Neth hints at the next gold sink

August 4th, 2008

“With the advent of the Burning Crusade, flying and epic flying mounts at 70 became a sink for the extra gold floating around Outlands in player’s pockets. There has been speculation ever since about what a similar sink might be in Wrath of the Lich King. In jest, Nethaera put forth the following: Animal rescue centers will be set up by D.E.H.T.A (Druids for the Ethical and Humane Treatment of Animals) and the movement to rid the world of Nessingwary will need funding! Save the penguins! Save the world! Considering what a pain the Nessingwary quests can be, it’s almost sad that he gets to continue recruiting for the butchering of beasts. Still, at least there will actually be penguins to “”save!”" She also hinted at some of the actual possibilities for our next big purchases. Inscription will be the next trade skill, which will likely see many players dropping other professions and paying to level it, as well as all players shelling out hard-earned gold in order to purchase inscriptions on a regular basis. Similarly, many players will start a Death Knight alt, and use their mains to finance its gearing, enchanting, inscribing, professions, and other expenses. Neth also suggested that new mounts might be a factor, although we’ve already been told that Northrend mount attunement will be affordable. She also mentioned that the new hairstyles might find you parting with some of your gold. Already, in preparation for WotLK, we are seeing more reasons to spend, spend, spend. With Haris Pilton finally live as of this afternoon, players will be flocking to purchase her 22-slot bags (1200g a pop) and other wares. Will you be saving up for Wrath, or decking out your characters with new bags. ” “As with many of the primary service professions in World of Warcraft, enchanting is one of those money making and saving chances that can truly help you out in the long run if you have the time to devote.


As a primary service profession, it counts towards your limit of two, but with the right class and race, it can be ideal for your game success. What Enchanting Entails What enchanting does is allow you to enchant weapons and armor to enhance them for permanent gains. You do not create new items, but takes existing items and adds new properties to them. wow gold You can also take apart existing enchanted items to gain the reagents in them for crafting new enchanted items. Not only do you take things apart and create new ones, but you can create temporarily effective oils and enchantments for addition to a weapon during a battle. These temporary changes can be added to already enchanted weapons and armor for further effect as well. Though you can create great new weapons with enchantment, disenchanting will actually destroy many more items than any other professions in the game. wow gold Many of the bi-products you receive from deconstructing items cannot be resold and are thus pure waste. You can sell them to other players or sell your services though, one of the prime ways of making gold through enchanting. Enchantment Tips At the beginning, building up your enchanting skill is best done through gray items and simple enchantments. Sell the items back to vendors for a small profit and build your skill level up. wow Once you’ve been enchanting for a while, start using instances and higher level arenas to farm reagents and items for disenchanting. You’ll build levels, gold, and items for enchantment in this manner. Never get rid of or destroy unneeded reagents. You can sell your services or items to lover level players and make a small profit. wow gold Never forget the other people out there who you can offer your skills to. Never bargain over the prices though.

Know what you want and request that right away. mp3 player It will keep you in the black and more successful if you know what you want and demand it from fellow players. It will also bring back repeat customers if they know what your price will be. Always check right away that the player you sell your services to has the necessary reagent as well, or you’ll need to include it in the total price. Be reasonable with your prices as well. wow gold No one wants ridiculously overpriced offerings. If you’re an enchanter, set up shop in a capital and purchase a good deal of storage space to keep your reagents and items stashed away. You’ll need them in the future and it’s best to always be prepared. ” .RELATED LINKS:

A Look At The World of Warcraft Profession Blacksmithing

August 4th, 2008

“Blacksmiths take bars of metal from miners and form them into exquisitely forged arms and armor. There are many unusual weapons and other armaments that cannot be found on any of the vendors or monsters in the game, but can only be created by blacksmiths. Blacksmiths can produce weapons, mail armor for paladins or warriors, and trade items. Blacksmiths can create special sharpening and weight stones that can be used to temporarily improve weapon damage. They can also create several items that are used as components for other profession recipes, such as enchanting. Blacksmiths can also create a few items that are needed for quests. They can put these items in the auction house to produce extra income. If you plan on being a blacksmith, you should likely already be a miner. Miners gather ore and smelt ore into bars to produce the majority of blacksmithing items. Blacksmith recipes often include jewels, which are found in a variety of places. Typically, most blacksmiths buy or are given rare jewels from other players. Some blacksmithing recipes need leather, which you will need to buy from a skinner. Blacksmithing is great for paladins or warriors, who can use the skill to create their own equipment. It is also good for producing money by marketing weapons and armor to the classes that can use them. First you need to locate a blacksmithing trainer. Ask a guard for directions in a major city. Blacksmithing trainers are normally located near a forge or anvil. After you have learned basic blacksmithing, open up your abilities book (hit “”p”") and look for the “”blacksmithing”" icon that has been added to your abilities. Now you need to go buy yourself a “”blacksmithing hammer.”" These are usually sold by a “”trade merchant”" or other merchants near the blacksmithing trainer.


You must have your blacksmithing hammer with you whenever you create an item. Some items don””t require you to be near an anvil to create them. There are hidden trainers throughout the world who can teach you new and special recipes. You can also buy new recipes from other players or find them as drops from monsters. There are special quests specifically for blacksmiths. Blacksmiths can open locks by creating and using skeleton keys. There are blacksmithing recipes available to seasoned blacksmiths via a series of turn-in quests. There are also armorsmithing recipes that are available to master armorsmiths. All three recipes are gained via quest. Additional blacksmithing recipes can be found in encoded messages found on the members of the twilight”’’s hammer in silithus. wow gold Blacksmiths can create resistance gear, especially useful in raids. Blacksmiths can create special rune attachments to shields or armor for bonuses. Blacksmiths can create rods used by enchanters. wow gold Blacksmiths can create sharpening stones and weightstones that can be applied to weapons for additional bonuses. ” “The precious metal of gold has fascinated humans for thousands of years. But how do we actually get it out of the ground. Let’s take a look at the most common ways to mine gold. There are two main gold mining methods, one is called “placer” and the other is “vein” mining. cheap wow gold And another type of mining is when gold is collected as a by-product in the mining of other metals. Placer Mining Placer mining is practiced when the metal is found in unconsolidated deposits of sand and gravel from which the gold can be easily separated because of its high density. The sand and gravel suspended in moving water. Much heavier metal sinks to bottom and is separated by hand. The simplest method of placer mining is panning.

wow gold Here the miner swirls the mixture in a pan rapidly enough to carry the water and most of the gravel and sand over the edge while the gold remains on bottom. This was the classic method used by the Forty-Niners during the California gold rush of 1849 and has been immortalized in story, art, and song. A more efficient form of placer mining uses a sluice box, a U-shaped trough with a gentle slope and transverse bars firmly attached to the trough bottom. The bars — extending from side to side — catch the heaviest particles and prevent them from washing down the slope. Sand and gravel are placed in the high end, the gate to a water supply is opened, and the lighter material is washed through the sluice box and out the lower end. mp3 players The materials are caught behind the bars and are gleaned to recover gold. Another variation of placer mining is called hydraulic mining. A very strong stream of water is directed at natural sand and gravel banks washing away the lighter materials. The suspended materials treated as if they were in giant sluice box. Currently the most important placer technique is dredging. wow gold A huge shovel of several cubic meters capacity lifts the unconsolidated sand and gravel from soil and mud and the placer process starts. Vein Mining Vein, or lode mining is the most important of gold recovery methods.

Mining Gold in World of Warcraft

August 4th, 2008

“One of the major factors in World of Warcraft is gold. It’’s shiny, yellow, and you can buy lots of good things with it, but what most people wnat to know is exactly how you get it. There are a lot of different ways to get WOW Gold, from killing things to selling items to vendors, but the easiest is just to buy it from someone or somewhere. When you kill a creature in World of Warcraft, it will usually drop an item or some gold for you to pick up. This is beside the usual experience points awarded for victory in combat. Experience is good as well, as it allows you to level up more quickly, and so become stronger and more easily able to defeat your next combat challenge or quest. Of course, killing is not easy or fast, and so you really need to focus on it to gain a reasonable amount of gold. This may not be what you want, as it is a lot of effort, and so you also need to talk to the non-player characters scattered around the world. they will often give you quests, which which when completed will reward you with experience and sometimes gold as well. If you don”t want to work so hard for your gold, then your only other option is really to have someone give it to you. No-one is going to just hand over a pile of gold, however, you could work as a merchant and buy and sell items for profit. This can be done either by going from player to player, or through an auction house. If you aren”t a skilled bargainer, then merchant might not be the profession for you. You could possibly work as a mercenary, offering to protect weaker players on their quests, but there are so many people around that you are hardly likely to find someone willing to pay you for this. While mercenary work is unrealistic, production is not.


There are many special items that are difficult to find or acquire, and it can easily make money producing valuable items for sale to other players or to vendors. Of course, you must be high enough level in the relevant skill to be able to use it. If you have already thought about all the ways you could earn WoW Gold in game, and are stil looking for an easier way, you might want to consider getting the gold from outside World of Warcraft. There are many places to buy gold, such as www dot xowow dot com, which offer good rates and an easy way to build up your gold. If you do a quick google search for WoW Gold, you will have no trouble finding somewhere to buy it from, although you should do some checking to make sure that it is a reputable company that you can trust. Also, check to be sure that they are well stocked- you don”t want to be waiting a long time for your gold to arrive! www dot xowow dot com keeps a good stock of gold available, as well as a number of other items that you can buy from them for use in the game. This will enable you to advance more quickly, and keep ahead of your opposition. But don”t take my advice. Go online, and have a look yourself. ” “Various tipsters and sources from around the web are reporting that the WotLK Friends and Family Alpha is now over. Deathknight.info reports that Eyonix has posted the official notice on the closed alpha boards, thanking everyone for participating. There is, of course, no date given for the start of the beta, he only says that the team is hard at work preparing it. wow gold All alpha testers will be invited back for the beta, and will even be allowed to keep their characters after a short lockout period to allow new testers to catch up.

A poster at Wotlkwiki.info claims to have information from an alpha tester who is a member of a developer’s family. wow gold The source says that they believe that Blizzard is rushing to meet an arbitrary deadline, as the game doesn’t seem ready for beta testing — this part, at least, is a bit hard for me to believe, since Blizzard has always marched to the beat of their own drum when it comes to release dates and deadlines. wow gold They also predict that we may need to wait until August to see the beta actually begin. Regardless, it looks like beta will be upon us swiftly — or at least soon. If you haven’t opted in, now is a good time to do so. buy wow gold Once you’ve done that, keep checking WoW Insider. We’ll let you know what we know as soon as we know it. I don’t agree that Blizzard “”Blizzard has always marched to the beat of their own drum when it comes to release dates and deadlines”". wow gold Wow 1.0 was released a week after paladin talents were introduced to beta (ie- before they had been tested and balanced). This release was about 2 weeks before EQ2 was released, and I think that the market timing had a lot to do with why some people were playing WoW instead of EQ2. Blizzard certainly did their own thing with the burning crusade, missing christmas season entirely, but there wasn’t a competing product to consider. I think that right now, there may be some incentive to get the expansion out before Warhammer Online (preferably JUST before warhammer online, so that everyone is too busy leveling up mains to check out the new title). Anyway- just wanted to add my 2 copper about the “”blizzard being oblivious to anything but quality”" meme. mp3 players It’s definitely a common view, but I don’t think that it’s entirely historically accurate. ” .RELATED LINKS:

Best Mithril Mining Spots

August 4th, 2008

“Mithril mining is one of the best mid-level gold makers in World of Warcraft. Mithril bars are needed for many crafting recipes and can be sold at auction for around 25 to 30 silver per bar. Considering that you can mine from 1 to 4 mithril ore from each mithril node, that means each and every node you find is worth almost 1 gold. First on the list of best mithril mining spots is the cave at Drywhisker Gorge in the Arathi Highlands. It’s just east of Hammerfell at 82,36 (head up the hill to the right just off the main road into Hammerfell). This is my top choice because there are several mithiril nodes in close proximity along with iron nodes, three spawn points for chests, and mining nodes for Bloodstone Ore (see tip 5 in my WoW mining guide for how to make gold from Bloodstone Ore) . In addition, the kobolds that inhabit this cave are relatively easy to kill even for someone in the low-thirties. I spent all my spare time mining this cave from 34 to 39 and, with the help of WoW Auctioneer, made a ton of gold in the process. Next is the Badlands. Mountains ring the badlands and there are several mithril nodes scattered in the hills along the southern range. As long as no one else is farming, you should hit at least four mithril mining spots on every pass. They spawn every 10-15 minutes so you’ll be able to farm mithril ore pretty consistently here. Searing Gorge is also one of the best mithril mining spots especially considering the route is fairly short and there are few mobs to bother you if you stay on the outskirts of the zone. Make a ring around the zone and you’ll find around three mithril nodes per trip. The Hinterlands and Tanaris also have some good mithril mining spots but require a little higher level to farm so they don’t make this list of the best mithril mining spots. ” “To start you need to get to at least level 5 and learn the herbalism profession.


Already we know that herbalism is a very money ridden profession, and with that, comes the idea that with just a little effort, you can be rich with only a few hours work. This works the best if you are the Undead race, but also will work as Human, or Tauren. Like stated before, be sure to pick up the herbalism profession (and for added bonus, go with mining). Now if you do go with herbalism, stick with theFind Herb skill most of the time, as the herb we are looking for sells more then copper at the lower levels. From this point we are now going to travel outside of the newbie area, and into the real world in search of, yes, you guessed it, silverleaf. Silverleaf is EXTREMELY abundant in the early and second areas of the game, but even more abundant in the Undead and Human areas. Why this is I”m not sure, but after farming only one stack of silverleaf, you can sell it on the Auction House for as much as 1 gold 25 silver. Yes, for only at most 10 minutes work, 1 gold 25 silver for a level 10. Too good to be true. Well, the lowest I”ve seen silverleaf go for is 85 silver, so still even then, at that level anything over 20 silver is a lot, believe me, I know. wow gold You don”t even need a map for this, as with the “”Find Herbs”" trait you can easily find those abundant silverleaf no matter where you are. All but some servers may have a more crippled economy in the lines of silverleaf, give it a few days and watch the price skyrocket. Another great resource at higher levels are the ghost mushrooms. wow gold Your Herbalism level should be around level 245. wow gold Ghost Mushrooms are located in a little cave called Hinterlands.

This guide can be used by both Alliance and Horde characters. You can easily gather about 10-25 gold per hour. world of warcraft gold Your character should be at least level 44, the higher the better however. The mobs in the cave are level 46-48. Another great herb to find is the Black Lotus. wow gold The herb can sell for 5 to 25 gold depending on your server. You can easily get 30 gold per hour. Morning would be the best time to hunt for them since there’’s probably alot less players at that time. mp3 player If you combine herbalism with mining you’ll be sure to make a ton of gold over a short period of time. ” .RELATED LINKS:

Putting alt raids together

July 22nd, 2008

“When bringing in alts, there are really two different classes of raid. Firstly, a main raid that lets some people switch to alts, either because you need them for raid balance or because you can afford to have a few lesser-geared players along with a longer-term aim. An example here would be gearing up a shaman alt on Black Temple and Hyjal farm runs so that it’s available to swap in for one or two Sunwell fights if needed. Since you outgear the content, having an undergeared healer won’t really hurt the raid much, and the end benefit is more flexibility in your raid composition for Sunwell progress. The second type of raid is a full alt run, with the expectation that most people will bring alts and standards set accordingly. You might not be breaking DPS records but everyone will get to have a bit of fun. An example of this is a BT guild putting together a Karazhan run on an offday. Most mains won’t need anything from the instance (recipes or offspec gear, perhaps) and it’s an opportunity for everyone to kick back and relax on different characters. With either raid, you’ll have composition requirements to fulfil, which is where the issue of fairness comes in. Is it fair that the same shaman alt gets to come on all Black Temple clears, when someone else’s shaman lies gathering dust. The other players with shaman alts might say no, but the guild as a whole might say yes, as it enables one character to get Sunwell-ready rather than give assorted epics to multiple people with no benefit for the guild. In a case like this, you have to examine why you’re letting alts into raids, and make sure that everyone understands it’s not just so that particular person is rewarded with more purples. When it comes to putting together raids comprised mostly of alts, composition becomes a major problem.


Suddenly all your tanks are healers, all your healers are DPS and.. wait.. nobody has a tank alt. It’s hardly fair that your MT has to tank on his nights off because nobody else could be bothered to roll a tank. wow gold Fortunately in my experience these things tend to even out, thanks to respecs and people realising the surefire route to getting raid spots on their alt. If you end up having to ask people to bring their mains, it really helps to keep track of who’s had to play what, so that you can ensure it’s not always the same person losing out. ” “Okay, so we’re all superstar players with a superstar lineup of alt characters, all in full tier 6 and we can play all of them blindfold. Right. wow gold Maybe not. There are three problems you can face when taking alts to raid content, even if it’s Karazhan: gear, skill and preparation. Gear is obvious enough: a character that’s newly level 70 in a handful of blues and levelling greens is hardly going to rock the Black Temple damage meters. This is more noticeable with tanks and healers, but even for DPS alts, things like having a large enough health pool can matter. Generally, you’ll set some standards for alts on raids to ensure that gear is at least sufficient for the content. mp3 Depending on how many mains you have along, and how draconian your guild usually is, you can choose to be fairly stringent or relax the rules. For example, you might want alts to meet Karazhan gear baselines that involve making some effort with crafted or heroic gear; Black Temple alts should have been to tier 5, and have a smattering of Zul’Aman and badge gear. Obviously everyone has to start somewhere, and making the rules too strict can just foster discontent, so you’ll need to find a balance that suits your guild. Skill is a debatable issue.

wow gold If someone is fantastic at playing their main class, that doesn’t always translate to their alts, which can cause some sticky situations — having mediocre players doing stupid things because they’re on an alt can make the runs painful for everyone involved. Sometimes you have to say no to people, although it’s easier to do this in a positive light (we really need you on your main) than a negative one (you suck at your alt); note that they might find out the real reason eventually. The advantage of being in a large raid guild is you’re surrounded by good players of all classes and roles, so if someone’s not very good at playing their alt, point them at someone who can play that class for some tips. Patience helps, too — some abilities come faster with practice. Finally, preparation. buy wow gold Again, the standards you set here might vary depending on your guild. A fairly serious endgame guild would probably require all alts to fully enchant their gear and put rare gems (ideally epics) in epic items, and bring full consumables to make up for any gear disparity. Others might make this more a personal choice, to make things fairer for those who don’t have much time to farm. wow gold Barring someone from a run simply because their boots aren’t enchanted can border on the petty, but seeing how people treat their alts’ loot (and checking if they have the know-how to put the right gems and enchants in) is a really telling sign of how much they care about that character. ”

Titan Panel’s perpetual GM ticket

July 22nd, 2008

“Brad Justice (let me say that again, Brad Justice!) sent us a valuable tip about Titan Panel, and it’s easily confirmed by a casual look over at the official forums. Let me explain. No, there is too much — let me sum up. If you use Titan Panel, you may see an unexplainable GM ticket open in the upper right corner of your screen. You may open that empty ticket, and then Abandon it. Your attempt will fail. But don’t worry — it’s not your fault. It’s Titan Panel. That ticket will linger there like some kind of horrific nightmare. But there’s hope. You can either simply disable the AddOn until they get the problem sorted out or attempt a “”full UI reset.”" (A full UI reset is the process by which you basically delete the WTF folder, Cache, and Interface folders and more or less start all over again.) I personally went for the slightly less-intense “”disable”" option. Anyway, good luck fixing it — we just wanted to let you know this is what’s up, since Titan Panel’s pretty popular. WoW Insider Show episode 46: When the cat’s away We had a very special WoW Insider show last Saturday. With the usual suspects out of town Daniel, Robin, Duncor and I had a blast talking about all kinds of juicy goodness. You can download the show and listen to it whenever you like. I’ve recently gotten my new Blizzard authenticator, and I’m really happy about it. Other folks are not quite as enthusiastic about it. We discussed the current state of Mages and Paladins. We had a number of great emails from our listeners. wow gold Daniel told us all about Death Knight Role-Playing. I didn’t talk about my car once, but I did throw a motorcycle reference in there. I got a chance to play the role of host, sorry folks, no giggling or flirting involved.


wow gold Was it as good for you as it was for me. We shall have another special guest host for the next podcast. Be sure to join us every Saturday on WC Radio at 3:30 PM. ” “Whether you’re currently raiding Karazhan or Sunwell, you’ve likely run into the alt issue. wow power leveling You spend night after night playing the same character, pressing the same buttons in the same environments, and reach a point where you don’t need loot from certain instances and are bored stiff of taking your main there. Yet there’s that level 70 alt that could do with some drops, and playing it will also bring a new dimension to liven up an old instance. It’s not usually as simple as just playing another character for the night, though. There are a number of issues that raid leaders and guilds run into when the concept of alts coming to raids rears its head, which this column will look at. Alts and Fairness First off, the F-word: fair. mp3 players As soon as you deviate from your usual raid-filled-with-raiding-mains bread and butter, things start getting a little grey. Fairness needs to be taken into consideration with many issues, from figuring out who can take an alt and who can’t, to the distribution of loot and standards you hold players to. The key principle I’ve learnt from experience here is to work things out in advance, lay them down on forums or elsewhere (raid chat, vent etc before the raid starts) and not to make things up as you go along. Of course, you’ll run into new situations that demand an on-the-fly answers, but if you’ve got set rules and principles then you should be able to work these problems out easily. wow gold The majority of problems I’ve seen with fairness and alt runs were when people were winging it, and raid members started to complain because things started getting unfair. What is fair.

This might mean a different thing to your raid group than to others. For some, it’s giving everyone an equal chance to take part. wow gold For others, it’s working out what benefits the raid most. Perhaps it’s rewarding those who put in more time and effort, either on mains or alts — giving bonuses to the people who’ll be there for the long haul. Or it’s just for kicks and giggles, with the aim of having a good time (which includes pleasing as many people as possible with the loot decisions, too). ” .RELATED LINKS:

Hunter Pet Guide

July 22nd, 2008

“I. You”re level 10, now what. So you”ve ran through the first 10 levels like a scalded dog and now you need to do the level 10 pet quest in order to be able to get your pet eh. Well here is how. Thanks to Graytalon for his synopsis. I have plagiarized most of it and updated where appropriate. (Is it plagiarism if I give him credit. ) Hunters, like warlocks, get pets. The difference is we get them from the environment and not some otherworldly plane. They have introduced 2 quests into the game to gain your taming skills. They are simple. You might have to explore a bit, but it’s really not difficult. Note: Watch what they ask for. There are many different varieties of wolves and cats and so forth. Make sure you are taming what they want you to tame. If you fail, abandon the quest and get it again. The big note here is to note that a thistle bear is NOT the same as a rabid thistle bear. So don”t spam General chat wondering why you can”t finish your quest while you”ve been charming the wrong MOB the whole time. Now that you finished the quest you”ll have 6 skills available to you in your Beast Mastery tab of your spellbook; Tame Pet, Feed Pet, Call Pet, Dismiss Pet, Train pet, and Revive Pet. Here is how they work: • Tame Pet Pick a beast that you want to tame and cast this spell on it. The beast will immediately aggro you and little hearts will float above you while you try to tame him. Your armor is substantially reduced during this time so you can get into trouble if you try to take on a tough beast. If you succeed then you will now have a new pet and it will be very unhappy and disloyal.


You can tell how unhappy it is from the icon next to him; red = unhappy, yellow = neutral, green = happy. These states equate to 75% damage, 100% damage and 125% damage respectively. You need to Feed him! • Feed Pet Select this spell then select a piece of food in your pack. Your pet will now start to gain happiness. How much he gains depends on the food type. Also, it may take a few pieces of food to get him to the Happy state. *Note, not all beasts eat everything. To check what diet your pet has go to the character screen while your pet is out (default key is ”c”), then to the ”Pet” tab, and look for the same happy face icon and hover over it. It will tell you what your pet will eat there. I like cats the best, they eat meat and fish. Both of which I can find in abundance in the wild. wow gold Also note that as your pet gets higher in level he might not like the same food as much as he did as a low level pet. (Meaning that it doesn”t give as much happiness when you feed him with it.) That beef jerky gets old after a while for him too. Here is a macro to feed your pet. wow gold It will feed the pet from the first slot of the far left bag. If that slot is empty then it will open the bag to let you know. Also, it will ignore accidental key presses during combat. wow Note: This macro should all be on one line. Thanks to Thericia for this. /script if (not PlayerFrame.inCombat) then if (not GetContainerItemLink(4, 1)) then OpenBag(4); else CastSpellByName(”"Feed Pet”"); PickupContainerItem(4, 1); end end • Call Pet This one is pretty self-explanatory, when you don”t have your pet out cast this and your pet appears.

wow gold • Dismiss Pet Again, self-explanatory. if the pet is out you can cast this and your pet will be stored. Your pet likes you so as such he doesn”t like being dismissed. mp3 player He loses some happiness when you use this, but not enough to be worried about unless you do it over and over. You can avoid this by simply zoning or catching a ride on a transport of some kind. Your pet will automatically store then without loss in happiness. wow gold • Train Pet Selecting this ability will bring up a window where you will be able to train your pets once you learn skills from other beasts.RELATED LINKS:

Affliction Talent Guide

July 22nd, 2008

“This affliction talent guide will let you know which of the Affliction talents you should go for, and which you should pass up unless you”re going full into this tree, which is never really recommended since having points into Destruction or Demonology really help you out in the long run. We will go over each talent, analyze what it does, and why you would or wouldn”t want it. The Warlock Talent Guide will link you to all 3 different Talent builds and explain how they work, and why you would ever need or use them, including important talents to pick up as well as often ignored ones. Tier 1 Tier 1 is available at level ten, when your first talents open up. Suppression Max 5 Points, lowers enemy resistances to your Affliction spells by 2%, maxing out at 10% when you reach 5 points. This Talent is usually where Warlocks spend all their remaining points, since it’’s not really all that useful up front, but can work in the background if you add anywhere from 1 to 3 points into it. Very few warlocks max this talent since the percentage to hit with DoTs is fairly high in itself. Best used when in High-End raids often. • Recommended if a raider Improved Corruption Max 5 points. Trademark warlock DoT, reduces casting time of it by .4 seconds per point. Upon maxing it, it becomes instant. You should always have this talent maxed or find a very good reason why not to have an extra DoT working for you regardless of specialization! • Must Have Improved Curse of Weakness Max 2 points, amplifies the effect on your curse of weakness spell by 10% and 20% respectively. All in all, while it could be seen as useful in select raiding environments, it’’s not really worthwhile to spend any points into this Talent. Tier 2 Improved Drain Soul Max 2 points, returns 7% and 14% of your maximum mana if you kill the monster with this spell, and reduces the threat done by all Affliction spells by 5% and 10% respectively.


Important note about this talent, you must give the finishing “”tick”" to the monster with Drain Soul in order for it to activate its mana regeneration ability, hence don”t rely on it during a raid or if you”ve got others beating on the monster. • Highly Recommended for Raiders - 10% less threat Improved Lifetap Max 2 points, increases the Mana awarded by your lifetap spell by 10% and 20% respectively. This is also a must-have for many warlocks as it increases your mana pool considerably and lets you lifetap less than others. wow gold Very useful in both PvP and PvE scenarios! • Highly Recommended! Soul Siphon Max 2 points, increases the amount of life and mana drained by your affliction spells by 2% and 5% respectively for each affliction spell on the target, up to 24% or 60% maximum. This talent is perfect for an Affliction warlock, both while soloing and in group play, as well as PvP, you get more Life and Mana back if you have this, for a measly 2 points, you can benefit a lot from a well-timed Drain Life! • Highly Recommended! Tier 3 Improved Curse of Agony 2 point talent, increasing your damage with Curse of Agony by 5% and 10% - not a bad talent but hardly something to look for if you”re looking for PvP talents, a 10% increase over the final damage is not very noticeable and you would be wanting to use other curses anyway. It is only noticeable if you”re raiding and fighting long boss battles, and even then, it’’s situational. wow gold • Nice, but not necessary. Amplify Curse 1 point, increases the damage done by your curse of agony or doom by 50%, or your curse of exhaustion’’s effectiveness by 20%, 3 minute cooldown. While overall a nice Talent to have, you have to remember to keep using it often to really see results.

If you can manage to remember to activate it everytime it’’s up, it’’s fairly useful. cheap wow gold • Good if you can manage it. Fel Concentration Max 5 points, Gives you from 14% to 70% chance to avoid interruption while channeling Drain Life, Drain Mana, or Drain Soul. This is a must have for many warlocks while leveling, and something you should probably think about ignoring or lowering the points into once you hit maximum level. wow gold This is the infamous “”Draintank”" skill, it allows you to channel Drain Life while regenerating more HP than the monster hits you for. • Highly recommended for Leveling, 2-3 points recommended (at most) afterward. Tier 4 Grim Reach Max 2 points, increases the range of your affliction spells by 10% and 20% respectively. mp3 players A must have for obvious reasons for both PvP and PvE, greater reach, sooner the DoTs and Curses begin ticking on your enemies the better. Also worth mentioning that it will help you when bosses or monsters have AoE abilities, 20% more range is a big help. Always try to get this talent! • Must Have Nightfall Max 2 points, allows you to enter the Nightfall state (2% and 4% chance) when your corruption or drain life spell ticks on a target. wow gold This will allow you to cast Shadowbolt instantly. This ability is another of the trademark Affliction Warlock spells and will serve you well both in PvP and PvE, it procs more often than you might think and the extra damage from a Shadowbolt really helps your DPS out! • Must Have Empowered Corruption Max 3 points, Giving you more of a reason to get instant cast corruption, this talent bumps up the overall damage of corruption by 12%, 24% and 36% respectively.RELATED LINKS:
