Still waiting for my Parrot :(Follow

Omg. I'm on a high population server, and we're still 20% away from capturing the armory on Quel'Danas!

Has anyone been fortunate enough to get their flowery Crossbow, yet?

and quick question... What is the ideal attack speed for a SV/MM 1:1.5 shot rotation? I haven't been able to find any straight answers... However, I did find this, that suggests that a 2.8 speed should be fine, and I've even seen Aethien say that he uses WSSR. The Parrot should still be really good for SV as long as I don't stack up on too much haste gear, right?

Here's a website that has been previously posted. It shows the current progression of each server, if you needed to know.

Yea coming from a PVP server, I can tell you it's complete chaos on that island. Both sides, Horde and Alliance, have what we like to call "Ganking Groups" where they'll just take a handful of people and wipe out the other side. Of course I've been a part of it too =) We all still get our dailies done, but there's nothing better then just grinding some honor and taking out hundreds of alliance left and right.

Gnomes by far have the best death animation, especially when they're trying to run away and I shoot them in the back ;)

*edit*
Just took a look at the website, my server is actually the 2nd highest pvp server out there, probably due to it's population, but still, we're #28 on the ranks, woot!

Well I play on a Normal server, and we just took the Armory :)

We have tauren standing on the quest givers pretty much 24/7. Of course you can turn on nameplates, but they are always jumping and dancing to the nameplates move around and even this is safe. It's caused a lot of people to not do dailies which explains the horrible progress we're making.

combine this with the fact that it's a pvp server and the ganking groups are active, and it means that badge gear is still a ways away.

Anyone know the schedule for the gates? What a dumb idea that was, completely ruining the pve race.

if you are specced survival i'd do the maths to check the badge xbow is actually better dps. I've not run either through my speadsheet, but i think it will be quite close. badges might be better spent elsewhere.

you picked up your xbow yet then? we're nearly there now on our server, but i didn't do a very good job of saving badges, so have a long wait before i can get my parrot.

i've been playing about with pvp a bit lately as my raid group has now fallen apart and it occured to me that the 4 piece set bonus on the first pvp set works so well with the new xbow as you can still base you cast sequence around the multishot cd and there is an extra 5% damage off multishot too.

could someone link cheeky's spreadsheet, no point in me wasting my time if someones already got one that's been tested.

Just got my peacock last night, it was so laggy, knocked me down to 5fps trying to get to the vendor. There were so many people trying to scramble to the vendor, it actually crashed the outland server. That actually benefited me, because I was among the first to load back in and got it and hearthed before the masses logged back on.
