Looking for rotation building help

Wed, 22 May 2013 23:51:37 +0000

Hello world,

I recently created a new addon called Nemo to build rotations for any class, but I am failing to keep up with 28+ rotations across 11 classes. I am hoping to find some Deathknight, Warrior and Rogue rotation experts on these boards to help build rotations for the Nemo addon.

If you are interested, please send me a PM or you can just post the rotation in the forums.

Breakpoints

Tue, 21 May 2013 17:53:55 +0000

While the guides here are very nice, I notice that some guides are woefully lacking information on breakpoints. For example, for Shadow Priests and Arcane Mages, it tells you the stat priorities but says nothing about what the haste breakpoint for Priests are nor what numbers are needed for Mages. As a contrast, look at the explanation of breakpoints for Restoration Shaman which is very informative and quite extensive. I don't know enough of theory craft to provide my own input into these things, but if you're going to reforge into a stat, you need numbers to do the reforge.

guild activity point

Wed, 15 May 2013 03:47:18 +0000

hi everyone little question here

a lvl 4 who has been in our clan for 1 day and only played for about 2 min has earned 9600000 weekly guild experience, while my lvl 12 who I played and quested non stop, with 2 BG's thrown in (which we won) for 4 hours ( gaining 4 lvls in the process) only got 661165 thats a 8,938,845. point difference!I just don't get it....
the reason this concerns me is because the clan offers $500 gold to the player with the most weekly activity points, how is a lvl 4 who hasn't played out experiencing all of us?

anyone want to give away a scroll of resurection ?

Sun, 12 May 2013 18:17:22 +0000

hey ! iv been looking to get back into WoW and was interested in that lvl 80 boost. would anyone be so kind to send me a scroll of resurection ?

Selling Accounts

Sat, 11 May 2013 22:19:32 +0000

I apologise in advance if this topic is against this sites rules.

I've been playing wow for 3 years now and have acrued 6 level 90 characters and a few other lower level characters. I've decided that this game is taking too much of my time and I've become unsatisfied with how easy Blizzard have made the game. Therefore, I wanted to sell my account to get something back for all the time I've invested over the years. However, I've read that selling accounts is against Blizzard's terms and can get the account banned. Don't know what to do. There seems to be lots of web sites offering to buy accounts but I suspect most of them will steal your account and fund gold selling.

What do you guys think? Should I just walk away or try one of these account buying sites, if so which one?

Cheers

Facebook and contests

Thu, 09 May 2013 00:53:28 +0000

I have a small issue relating to the fackbook part of things.

First of all for people who want to join facebook and sites like it fine and dandy.  Some people choose not to.  I am one of those people who refuses to be on facebook and when contests require an action involving the site it is very dishearenting.

I have had people tell me many times to just create one make it private and only use it for contests.  The problem comes in where once you create an account a cookie is implanted in your browser and even if you sign out it tracks every page that has a link back to a facebook account.  Now they do have advertising which does make them money but I also surmise that they sell your browsing history to the highest bidder.  How do you think the owner became a billionare with a company worth over 60 billion in less than ten years?  Advertisements pay very little, I know that for a fact.  But saying to a company "hey buy this info and you can view a person web habits" can make a lot of money quick.

I don't do social and often browse with private browsing enabled for just this reason.  I block advertisements through my router and use multiple different DNS servers controlled by different sources.  Call me paranoied but I don't need any more noses in my business than what there already is.  If contests are no longer going to be on the site but through facebook I won't be hanging around any more.

SunSong Ranch Work Orders: Question

Wed, 08 May 2013 10:57:50 +0000

Are we unable to do the same work order two days straight?

Yesterday I took the dailies Work Order I: Golden Lotus and Work Order I: Shado-Pan. I planted the seeds, auto-completed the quests, and was given the follow-up Work Order II for both factions.

So, I just completed Work Order II, harvesting and packing up the crops. I then selected Work Order I: Golden Lotus and Work Order I: August Celestials.

I planted the melon seeds for August Celestials, did the auto-turn-in and was given Work Order II: August Celestials accordingly. But when I planted the appropriate seeds for hte Golden Lotus and auto-completed Work Order I: Golden Lotus, I did NOT receive Work Order II: Golden Lotus. It doesn't show on the board, either.

Does this mean that I can't do Work Order II: Golden Lotus two days consecutively? Or do I just need to wait until tomorrow and I'll find Work Order II: Golden Lotus on the work order board?

I'm hoping to find out the answer before daily reset time tomorrow, that way if I should dig up the Golden Lotus crops and write off the seeds, and do Work Order I: Operation Shieldwall, I can avoid missing a whole day for one half of the ranch.

I'm sorry if this has been posted before. I've been on hiatus from the game since before 5.2 went live.

Good Raiding Server Help

Tue, 07 May 2013 02:18:54 +0000

So I will be coming back to WoW this summer when I get my new computer. I am currently on Lightnings Blade server and from what I here it is just dead.... So I will be needing to find a new server when the time comes and I will be bringing along 4 characters. If someone could give me and idea or some recommendations I would appreciate it. I will also be re rolling as alliance completely if that helps.

Sun, 05 May 2013 19:52:03 +0000

Hi guys!

I'm sorry if this is off topic or something but I'm sooo happy I can go back and play WoW again!! I had to share with someone and this is the only website that still in my bookmarks after like 3-4 months!

I can't even imagine how many things have changed with these patches D:

blizzard transfer issues

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:19:46 +0000

anyone else find it a bit strange/annoying that server cost = 20 EU, but doing a server + faction cost = 55 EU?

yesterday someone asked GC about the population problem, and he gave the same bland answer bliz has been giving for two years. - we are aware of the issue and looking into it. What i think that means is that they are looking at the revenue gained from transfers vs the revenue loss of accounts giving bliz the finger - and are waiting for which number is greater to switch before dealing with the issue as until that does, they have no incentive to do anything about it...
GC, if you truly think it is a problem lower/remove the cost of server transfers in the mean time while you 'sort it out' and see if the people can sort it out for themselves.
Give each char 1 free faction/server transfer every 8 months, or give an option to be able to move char + alts at a reasonable price.

can anyone please confirm that if you do a faction transfer and you are in the middle of the legendary quest that you WILL loose all your secrets of the empire?
bliz transfer faq states that you loose all quests, and quest items when you do a faction transfer.

Thirdly, when doing a GUILD migration, does the authenticator have to be set to ask you for number every log in? or if you have it set to ask you for logging into bliz website + every IP switch asking you for number when logging into game sufficient?

less dailies, more mogu runes

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:35:45 +0000

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/7339595330#1

I'm rather pleased about this...

Its now possible to get the week's runes with only 1 days' worth of dailies, perhaps with a smattering of pet battles to pick up the slack.

"
We’re deploying a hotfix late tonight that will reduce the number of Lesser Charms of Good Fortune required to purchase 3 Mogu Runes of Fate from 90 down to 50. Meaning when you log in Wednesday and purchase your 3 Mogu Runes of Fate, which are used for 5.2 raid boss bonus rolls, it will only cost you 50 Lesser Charms.

We recommend waiting until after the scheduled Wednesday maintenance to ensure this change has gone through before purchasing your Runes.

What happen to the 5.2 BIS for Restro Druids?

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 00:52:42 +0000

Anyone know why the Resto Druids BIS is the only one not updated with 5.2?

Be cautious about the stuff on your calendars.

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 23:40:26 +0000

Please use caution about the calendar events you are seeing on your calendar. Many of my friends guildies, and other people have been getting tons of stuff about gold spammers. Please decline/ignore the invite, dont except it and PLEASE don't go to any websites they provide in the description. They could contain viruses that could be harmful to your computer. Blizzard said that they are working about fixing the solution to this issue and in my opinion reporting the people wont be much useful since most people get the invites from multiple people.

Thanks

Raid Class Specific Advice

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:40:27 +0000

I just made a user name to post a thank you for the class specific advice sections in your raid guides. I learn a lot from these and hope they are continued and expanded by Icy Veins there their users.

Specifically the first thing I learned is on Horridon BOP drops triple puncture stacks so we don't have to switch tanks on horridon. here

Also, I have learned Holy Prism’s effectiveness really changes by the size of the bosses hit box and now switch Lights Hammer/Holy Prism much more effectively.

Anyways, thank you all for the great resource which has proven to be incredibly valuable to our raid progression.

Scroll of Resurrection Help

Sun, 31 Mar 2013 21:11:31 +0000

What do I have to do to get the character to level 80? Is there a time limit to use it?

Is anyone interested in sending me one? I'm looking to sign up and I want the boost to level 80 and free upgrade.

Lastly, what would be a good class to pick? I'm looking for casual play. I would like a class that is fun to PvP with, but won't be extremely gear dependent or require me to have really good gear in order to stand a chance in PvP.

I played vanilla/BC with a warrior, and I really liked playing as a warrior, but one thing I did realize was the class was so gear dependent that it was impossible to play casually and still play well in PvP. What do you guys think? I'm leaning either Warrior or Rogue (I already have a level 70 rogue from BC so I was thinking to make a warrior and boost him to 80 and then the Rogue I can manually level from 70 --> 85).

Best Classes for Solo/Group PVE & PVP

Weak Auras - Trying to understand

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 23:47:06 +0000

Installed and followed a couple of starting guides from the net. However, I am a bit confused as how ensure the settings made for one character, will not be the same for another? In other words, how do you save the settings for one character, and be able to start another one for a different character. The guides I have consulted, and boy there are a ton of them out there, don't really specify how this is done. So some friendly advice would be very welcome indeed.

On a related issue, I did find and downloaded Character specific "strings" which one is to install using the import button. Fine and dandy. However, are these automatic when the character is online, or do you need to open the weak auras to configure? Thanks for listening.

A Question about Tanking

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 21:04:56 +0000

I have been a long time lurker of Icy-Viens. Find the discussions, guides etc to be very use full. I have mostly play a DPS but have thought lately about playing a tank. My question is would it be better to roll one from scratch and lvl them all the way. Or use my 90 Warrior make him some gear and start rolling through the dungeon s.

Thanks,

Loot roll rage

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:53:17 +0000

Another loot rant from me.

I am a blood DK, but I got this lame sword on a bonus roll in LFR:

http://www.wowhead.com/item=95875

Greatsword of Frozen Hells, a 2H strength sword.

It has Crit and Haste as its additional stats....therefore its about as crap as its possible to get for a blood DK. It doesn't even have a good socket bonus.

I'm annoyed that this is a potential drop for my class and annoyed at wasting a roll.

I'm trying to convince Blizz that there's a bug in the loot table....to me this is clearly a DPS weapon.

Its bad enough that the BiS in this tier is a shared boss drop without having crap like this. I should have got my Bo'Ris, not this junk.

Grrrr.

I totally called it...5.3 loot spec

Sat, 23 Mar 2013 11:09:21 +0000

Loot Specialization
- Players can now choose to receive loot for a specialization that's different from their current class role. This feature could be accessed by right-clicking on the character portrait and selecting the option from the drop-down list. Loot specialization is available for bonus rolls, Raid Finder, and Pandarian quest rewards.

I love this...I can use my awesome tank insta-queue, but still gear up my dps spec.

Totally called it too.....

Class help

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:22:10 +0000

Hey, So I main a mage, and use to main a hunter. I have a priest at 90 but rarely use it.

Lately I have been able to do enough DPS on easy bosses (first boss in ToES and Garalong style fights where they are kinda pathwork) Lately I notice that if I have to move a lot to avoid mechanics (Tsulong, Horridon and such) that my dps drops by almost half or more and I start to get frantic and forget how to mage.

So 2 things, 1 is there any top end mages willing to help someone who has learning disabilities learn how to mage?

2. If I am struggling with range caster dps, do you think melee dps or tank dps would suit me better? I am building a druid and could build a paladin (this is to have access to all 4 class styles, Range / melee dps, heals, tank)

If so, what are some "easily" manageable melee dps / tank classes ? I am about to make the character now with my buddy.

Is mixology nerfed for spirit flask?

Sun, 17 Mar 2013 05:52:54 +0000

Mixology is the alchemist profession bonus. All other professions have bonusses aligned with gems, elt's consider the healer situation:
blacksmiths get 2 extra sockets = 320 int or 640 spirit
enchanters get ring enchants for 320 int (ouch, if you like spirit)
leatherworkers get to replace the wrist chant of 180 int by a chant for 500 int, so +320
etc., etc. etc.

Enters the alchemist with mixology: your int flask is worth 1320 int instead of 1000. so +320 int, OK.
But should you flask for spirit: 1480: +480 instead of +640 for a BS?????? WTF??????

Do I get things wrong or is the balance off?

Transmog Item List - Firefox Bug

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:06:50 +0000

Not sure if this is the right place to be posting this, but I've got a problem whenever I look at the transmog item lists in Firefox. This happens whenever I hover over an item on the page, regardless of whether they're opened on the same page, or opened in a new page.

Don't have the same issue within IE10, and I've tried all the usual suspects of deleting the cache, and forcing it redownload the page with CTRL+F5, etc.

Hardware Question

Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:16:14 +0000

So ive noticed that i have had to turn some of my settings down to be able to get acceptable fps.

In Cata i had everythign cranked to Ultra and all the best settings and i ran 30 to 50 fps.

now im down to the mid 20s dipping into the teens on occassion and that was even trunign the multisampling and a few of the other effects down.

I want to run everything wide open and im wondering if i do a grapics card upgrade if that will acheive it or is my system just too low on recources to accomplish this

I am running

Asus Pro 5ql mother board
6 gigs of ddr2 ram
Intel core 2 Quad 3 gig processor
Sapphire RAedon 48xx card....cant remember which one but itwas the bigges 48xx series at the time
100g HD

was thinking maybe if i went more ram and a better card I could jump over the edge but i don't wanna spend the cash unless im certain it wll work. Thoughts opinions?

thought about attempting to overclock the processor but i dont' have any evpericence in doing that and i don't wanna break something.

open to suggestions on ideas here.
