Honestly, it sounds like she could be a keyboard turner. That would explain the difficulty in adjusting to 3D space. Being able to turn up towards a portal and just push forward is a lot easier than having to use the space and x? key to go up and down.

Zombies should be kited and killed at range, blazing skeletons shouldn't get more than a single tick off (which is trivial to heal), and archmages should be hounded by someone with an interrupt to avoid mass frostbolts. All other damage is avoidable or tank damage.


I typically solo tank the fight. Its not hard once you start dragging everything into the middle.

But ya even then raid damage is minimal as the tank either has things, they are kited or interrupted. The only things that really hurt are the Aboms and the worms, which are all tanked. The rest of the mobs don't hit for much damage.

Ya we usually solo tank it as well.

The healing really isn't too bad until we get 5-6 minutes in and the adds start coming faster. Looks like I was about 2.5k-ish HPS for most of the first 2 fights when I let the other 2 handle the drake. This went up to about 5k when I healed the dragon on the last attempt. So I was doing about as much healing from rolling HoTs on the drake (and not prioritizing their timers) as I was to the other 8 members of the raid. Don't know if that's good or not, but it certainly didn't feel too bad.

Solo tank Dreamwalker? Like, 10- or 25-man? I had enough trouble trying to keep the mobs from chewing on whichever DPS wasn't paying attention to Omen, and I was just tanking one side.

New weapon, by the way. Just so happens that it's the DPS weapon I was waiting for back when I was Kitty. Might just respec again. Once I have the 2k gold required.

Edit: On the other hand, I'm having a blast tanking stuff again. Just need to get some more expertise is all, because I'm back down to 23 or so again after losing my pants and weapon. Good news is, I should be hit capped now, so no more taunts missing. I was not popular on Saurfang heroic when I missed a Growl. Smiley: lol

Ps. 5990 GS, groan. GearScore is lulz, but I'd really like to break 6k soon. If only to get into PUGs easier. I feel bad about saying I've got 6k GS when I don't, even if it's only 10 less.

Hmm yeah, do ask her is she's a keyboard turner, that makes 3d space a whole lot harder.
Although it could also just be her lack of spatial awareness.




Also, from the patchnotes for the latest beta build:
"Heart of the Wild now Increases your Intellect by 2/4/6%. (Down from 4/8/12%) In addition, while in Bear Form your Stamina is increased by 3/7/10% (Up from 2/4/6%) and while in Cat Form your attack power is increased by 3/7/10%. (Down from 2/4/6%)"
Smiley: lol


edit: Nom Nom Nom also doesn't have the needs a new name mark anymore.

zomg Improved Leader of the Pack is getting baked into normal Leader of the Pack. Smiley: inlove

Edit: AND THICK HIDE GETS CRIT IMMUNE OMG.

So we're still super-feral, you just have to live without feral charge to do it (totally feasible...I don't feral charge much ever and I can't imagine the Ravage opener will be cost effective for pve dps).

Why would you ever spend 4 talent points for 2% crit in cat and 2% damage in bearform?
I'd much rather have feral charge, a 10 second cooldown on the interrupt and a loose point that that.
#2811 Jul 30 2010 at 8:39 AM Rating: Good
Master Shapeshifter was kind of a big deal for cat in wotlk, only reason I really took it. I'm not mathing anything out, just looking at "how can I make trees that look like the ones you take now?"

If the free ravage from Imp Feral Charge and the increased crit of that Ravage from Predatory Strikes is better math than the crit, then by all means move the points...but consider also that they want tanks to have to think about threat now too, so that bear damage increase may be important.

I don't really see how 30% cheaper shapeshifting is a big deal in PvE for any spec.

Resto still looks the same mostly. A couple of percentages went up and down, but I didn't see anything that really changed where I put my talent points. Maybe if I was leveling up or something, but that's about it. Yay for nom nom nom.

Drama llama sent an apology letter to one of the healers but hasn't said a word to me, so I still don't know what's that all about. Talked to the priest about her healing again, and the healers spent a little time discussing the whole situation. Don't know if much useful came out of it though.

We only got about 3 tries and Sindy last night, as one of the tanks had to leave early. Still she's down to about 15% now, so I'm thinking we'll get her soon.

That 30% buff is crazy now. After the OT left last night, we replaced him with an old friend who hadn't played since Ulduar. He was blown away with the concept of 50k health. I think we were all a little surprised how easy it was to keep a tank in mostly 200/219 gear up on Fester/Rot.

10s, we only do 10s. Not that we're a strict 10s guild or anything, a few people will PuG 25s from time to time. But it's fairly rare.

Yeah, it's really overkill these days. After a 10/12 ICC run last night, I did one heroic and kept wondering what item I'd unequipped to only have 60k health. You get used to 80k too fast.

I missed you guys.

I've started playing again after about six months. I got a bunch of new gear, obviously, but I'm just sort of disappointed in moonkin as a whole right now - seems silly to put in all this effort and oh look some improvement on this boss fight! but then I have to move and it all falls down the tubes.

So now I'm leveling 50 different alts.

When is Cata again?

Welcome back, CBD. I get the distinct impression that I should remember you from somewhere, mainly due to your signature, but for the love of god, why'd you stay away for so long? Alcohol swamped brain is leaking memories.

I've been here longer than you. Whippersnapper.

I transferred schools to major in something different. Then plans evolved and I was able to transfer back, but it was basically just a very absurd time in my life. Also I don't even remember what that sig quote was from but it's *still* hysterical. Well done.

Did you just call me a 'whippersnapper'?

And what do you mean you've been here longer than me? How long have you been here? Smiley: sly

Edit: Just did a search on myself here in the Druid forum and stumbled across a discussion about Druid pictures (sadly Gameshot no longer works, so most of the pictures are gone).

Something struck me as funny:

That's right, peeps. There used to be a time where Druids would go for a dagger and off-hand so they could stab stuff and get OOC procs. Before OOC worked off of spellcasts.

Good ol' 2005. I was such a scrub back then.

This is weird. I post stuff and 10 minutes later it's still on the "live forum updates" list. That contest messed with my mind... Smiley: tongue

I get to go back to tanking in ICC tomorrow, and my brother is going to heal. Been trying to get that guy to come with us for months now, but our schedules never overlap right. Should be good fun! Smiley: grin

Exciting as the contest was, it's so nice to have the WoW forums back in a peaceful state.

I'm sure the administrators who were watching over this forum for the last week feel the same way, too. Smiley: tongue

Ok, well if you're hitting on my sister, be warned. She's a cruel, manipulative, sadistic *****.
Great fun if you're on her good side and a royal pain in the *** otherwise.
