Tanking stats patch 3.0+?2010-03-29 00:00:00I'm still trying to get a clear grasp of what the new changes in 3.0 mean for druid tanking. I'm hoping I can sort of think out loud here and make sure I'm correct.
Pre-patch, we needed our Defense to be at least 415, or have a combination of Defense and Resilience to get us to 5.6 to avoid crits. It was easy enough to just run:
/script
and see if you were over the thresh-hold or not.
Now with 3.0, I think my understanding is that 415 no longer means anything since with talents, we can get 6 crit reduction eliminating our need to get the extra 2.6 crit reduction (or 65 additional Defense). Now, we just need to be at 350 Defense and any Defense over that inc...
TBC pets2010-03-20 00:00:00I鈥檓 still leveling my way up to a warp stalker. Cashara is 64, but I want a green stalker. So I have three more levels to go.
I like the looks of several of the pets. The dragonhawks are the most beautiful pets in game, at least in my opinion. Warp stalker are the closest we鈥檒l get to taming a dragon. And even the sporebat are cool looking. I鈥檝e tried to warm up to the ravagers, but I still see them as bulldogs of the insect kingdom.
So my plans for BC pets are thus:
Cashara - Green Warpstalker.
Calibos - Dragonhawk.
Farli - ???
I had considered a white warp stalker for Farli since he also has an albino crocalisk. But I don鈥檛 know that I want two hunters with the same pet, not with so few stable slots ...
The Beast Within2010-03-11 00:00:00WarcraftHunter wrote:ok thnx guess it isnt a waste for a talent point It is quite a bit more than merely not a waste of a Talent point. If you've invested up through Bestial Wrath, taking your BM build to TBW is a no brainer.
18 seconds each 2 minutes of:

10 additional damage
Immunity to all CC effects
Does the mob cast an AOE fear? You'll stand and shoot while the rest of the group is running around. Does the mob randomly sheep members of the group? You're immune to that effect.
I'm not sure where people get the impression that TBW causes the player to lose control of the Hunter. I've seen more than one poster with this impression, but a read of the Talent description does not even hint at suc...
Ranged Weapon Upgrade (lvl 50-60)2010-03-06 00:00:00since you're at 57 working toward the 59 PVP bow isn't a bad option. Or, you could jump to Outland once you hit 58 and there is a nice crossbow Quest reward in Thrall that is obtainable at 58, Everyone! This is my first posting, so here goes...
First of all, I've been a spectator on these forums for several months now and I just want to say that the quality of the information here is MUCH better than many other forums I've visited, even with the umm... entertaining of...
3.1 Info Incoming2010-02-25 00:00:001. Is ammo SERIOUSLY that big of a problem? (On a side note: /2 WTB 20 slot bag, PST!)
2. Cool. Wonder if they'll only be accessible by BM Hunters, or if other Hunters can still use them.
3. Seems nice, I wonder if the passive bonus will make SV Hunters want to max it out. Assuming it restores back mana to the Hunter, I don't see the bonus being all that gamebreaking.
4. Looks like a tremendous buff to MM. I wonder if they'll stack. (IE: You can have a bleed from Chimera, Aimed, and Steady Shot up all at the same time. Or even multiple Steadies!?)
5. This sounds really nice. From what I'm thinking, you'll want to fire off an ES, run in an...
Death and in-game taxes2009-09-09 00:00:00Death comes for us all.
It is a fact of life, and one that cannot be argued or avoided. Everything that lives, eventually dies, and while that undeniable truth may seem macabre or sad; it poises a question that we will all eventually need answered:
hat happens to my in game items when I go to that big LAN Party in the sky?/p>
Let face it we invest a lot in these games.
Our online lives bring us wealth and riches in the form of entertainment...
Talent Calculator Update: Mage, Paladin, Shaman2009-08-27 00:00:00The official Wrath of the Lich King talent calculators have been updated!
While most of the changes are tooltip clarifications and new icons for the placeholders, there are a few bigger changes as well: Enhancement Shaman's Maelstrom Weapon now makes any spell instant cast when stacked to 5, not just Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning or Lava Burst. New tooltip: When you critically hit with a melee weapon, you reduce the cast time of your next spell by 4/8/12/16/20%. Stacks up to 5 times. Lasts 15 seconds. (talent location) Retribution PaladinImproved Blessing of Might buffed: Increases the attack power bonus of your Blessing of Might by 10/20/30/40/50%. (talent location) Vindication now giv...
A Gamer's Week: 18 25 July2009-08-13 00:00:00Hello and welcome to another edition of A Gamer's Week, your roundup of the most important gaming news from the past 7 days. It's been a pretty hectic time, especially since the San Diego Comic-Con started this week, and a lot of companies already prepared some big announcements for this weekend. So without further ado, here's this edition of A Gamer's Week. Monday definitely brought some good news for racing fans as the upcoming NFS Shift title was reported to have a special Collector's Edition launched for consoles. Some special unlock codes, including one for the stunning BMW M3 GT2, will be worth your extra money. Also, Bethesda talked about raising the level cap with the launch of the upcoming Mothership Zeta DLC for Fallout 3. But don't think that this will happen, as it will certainly break the game, but in the following titles from the company a higher level cap will surely be included. Tuesday had some good news for those still playing Call of Duty: World...
Tips Of Buying WOW Gold2009-08-13 00:00:00A lot of World of Warcraft players are constantly on the look for wow speed leveling tips. As a hardcore gamer of the game since it's inception I have tried and heard just about all the secret ways to buy wow gold. Some have worked some have not and we hope to show in this quick article exactly what has proven to shave off huge amounts of time from my speed power leveling runs within World of Warcraft. The details are as follows.
Most power gamers in wow play or have played by mastering and memorizing the steps used within the some of the more popular wow leveling guides such as Joanas Horde Leveling guide and Brian Kopp Alliance guide on buying wow gold. This was fine and dandy 2 years ago but these methods no longer are efficient, nor do they allow for multiple playing styles which takes away from having a unique all power character within the game. Let's look at the standard playing format used by most World...

Honestly if blizz ended uphanging thelass the way all these pallies want, i would prolly quit and go bk to my rogue. The best thing about being a pally is sitting bk and tossing out flash heals for 20 mins! I really dont see a problem with us, maybe im just too in love with thelass...shrug.
