Heh, if only that were true! People in my guild today were whining because of the spirit = hit talents that boomkins, shadow priests and ele shamans have, and because it makes it easier for us to get hit capped. Hell, I was hit capped before I stepped into my first heroic, and there's people who have done dozens and dozens of heroics who aren't yet. I don't blame them for being annoyed, but if all they can complain about is that we have an unfair advantage to getting hit capped, I'd say they're pretty well off. On some level it actually hurts us more, because we can reforge our gear for either spirit or hit, and it takes away a lot of our more important stats (after hit capped of course) dps wise.

Speaking of which, I seem to be having issues with my dps. I need to reinstall a damage meter so I can keep track of it better. Apparently on the last boss in heroic ToT (which is a huge pita by the way...) I was only doing 4.1k dps. This was on a guildie run, and it was kind of embarrassing since the other two dps were doing 1-2k more dps than me. It also didn't help that the healer was a complete jerk. I'd been warned by another person in the guild that he was, but I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't mind constructive criticism, but don't treat me like I'm an idiot or talk down to me when this is my first time in a particular dungeon and I'm trying to get the hang of things.

Yes the amount it heals decreases overtime. The first couple of ticks do the bulk of the healing. I don't know how much it continues to decrease over the additional added ticks you get from having extra haste. Though I imagine the healiness keeps getting less, and I'm assuming that is what you're seeing. *shrugs*

Hmm, I guess I could just use a CLI compiler.
Or stick to pascal because I'm lazy. I just see how it takes like 10+ minutes to run some of my programs (don't ask) and I sort of hope writing in a better language might cut down on that time; people seem to agree that C++ code is fast. Right now, I want fast.

I'm just really unfamiliar with the language so an IDE would feel safer.

Gonna download GCC anyway.

Should be good, I'm planning on redoing it later today so if anyone has stuff to add now is the time to do it.

What are you making Khaliva?

Learn how to program in ruby. It's awesome.

Every problem has the number of people that have solved it in an extra column when you look at the list. So yeah, some of them only by a handful of people, though.

I actually solved one of them with a calculator because it took less than a minute that way.

The thing is, my programming experience is kind of limited.
I've done a couple of months of VB courses about ten years ago (remember none of that), half a year of Modula II and half a year of Java at some point between 2006 and 2008, which was far too advanced for me and I didn't get any of it, and now a couple of months of Pascal.
And of course the odd HTML, lua, PHP etc. when it was needed but that hardly qualifies as programming experience.

I actually think I "get" Pascal enough for these problems (solved 5 so far with it), but I found its limits already and everyone keeps telling me to learn C++ so I should do that. Right?

Just ran Vortex Pinnacle for the first time. Didn't know the final fight so died on the first electrical storm. After which the rest of the group did the fight with the Paladin tank healing himself and others.

But Bears... Bears are OP.

The first one in the list doesn't look hard at all, just a lot of work. But when you get to problem 3 I'm completely lost already...

It's awesome, because it only shows that when you're a Druid and have done the Swift Flight Form quest chain. Others get a standard "Thank you for helping" comment.

It does look interesting, but I can see that even for the easy ones my knowledge of mathematics is inadequate.
