haha

ok i see what's going on.

Do you think pulling agro in BWL...plate will save you? You will pull agro, and your whole fucking raid will get shadow flamed. you will wipe 40 people because you think you're a rogue.


Ok, blowing all your cooldowns in some situations you can outdps rogues. But you have no way to drop or manage agro, making it insanely stupid to do in any real end game instances.

that is what is called "Combat Daggers" it's an amazing PvE dps build for dagger rogues, With enough gear its' not terrible for pvp.



And grandmaster.... on many fights warriors can go balls out and not worry about aggro ... fights like flamegor you can eat wing buffets to drop aggro, time lapse chromaggus the same (just pray you dont resist time lapse more than once )

but no .... in any fights other than that I murder my good friend on the dps meter. he ususally comes in 3-5th every time but I beat him by 10-30k in damage.

"BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT® AND LEGENDARY PICTURES TO PRODUCE LIVE-ACTION WARCRAFT® MOVIE Fantasy game franchise played by millions worldwide to become major motion picture IRVINE, Calif. -- May 9, 2006 -- Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and Legendary Pictures today announced that they have entered into an agreement to develop a live-action film based on Blizzard Entertainment®'s award-winning Warcraft® universe. Based on the terms of the agreement, Legendary Pictures has acquired the movie rights for the best-selling game universe, and both companies are now focused on translating the high-quality Warcraft entertainment experience to the big screen. "We searched for a very long time to find the right studio for developing a movie based on one of our game universes," said Paul Sams, chief operating officer of Blizzard Entertainment. "Many companies approached us in the past, but it wasn't until we met with Legendary Pictures that we felt we'd found the perfect partner. They clearly share our high standards for creative development, and because they understand the vision that we've always strived for with our Warcraft games, we feel there isn't a better studio out there for bringing the Warcraft story to film." "One of our goals at Legendary Pictures has been to bring heroic stories to life in groundbreaking ways, and it's inspiring to work with a company such as Blizzard that takes that approach with each of its products," stated Legendary Pictures chairman and CEO Thomas Tull. "The Warcraft universe is possessed of such a rich mythology and, as such, serves as an ideal platform as we go about translating that universe into what we intend to be a major event film." Blizzard's Warcraft games have developed a loyal following since the series debuted in 1994. Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness™, released in 1995, won multiple Game of the Year awards and is still considered one of the best games ever made, and Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos™ broke multiple sales records when it launched in 2002. World of Warcraft®, Blizzard's latest entry in the critically acclaimed franchise, has quickly become one of the world's most popular online games, with more than 6 million paying customers worldwide. "From our first Warcraft game to our latest novels, our intention has always been to develop a rich fantasy universe that could support stories and products in many forms," stated Chris Metzen, Blizzard Entertainment's vice president of creative development. "In addition to being a truly rewarding experience for us, the creation of this motion picture also feels like a natural next step for the Warcraft universe." "It's not always the case that interactive game properties lend themselves to proper adaptation to film," said Jon Jashni, Legendary Pictures' chief creative officer. "We are intending to approach this as we would the adaptation of a best-selling novel: respect the essence of all that it is but also build upon that fertile base while translating it into a new medium." Further details about the upcoming Warcraft movie, including director, cast, and targeted release date, will be revealed in the months ahead. "

bah

the only possible way they could do this decently is with a LOTR style trilogy

but they wont do that

bc they just made a LOTR style trilogy.

5/9/2006 3:37:26 PM

Yea they'll need a trilogy.

You can't just fit a warcraft plot into one 2-3hr movie.

5/9/2006 3:46:15 PM

yes when you have some very skilled rogues who know what they are doing, or a rogue who is just completely decked out head to toe and sneak by not knowing as much what they are doing and still place high on the dmg meters.

however at the same time a warrior with a hwl/dark edge/ashkandi/kalimdors/sulfuras should be right up with the rogues or past them if they know what they are doing, not to mention a DW fury warrior for PVE dps. You get a warrior DW the hwl weapons with a fury build..if they know what they are doing a rogue will have a hard time keeping up for sure.

Its always nice to have a warrior high on the aggrolist too, even if they arent one of the ones tanking

5/9/2006 3:49:14 PM

one of our furies is using AQR/Maladath. He is a dps machine, and as long as we can melee he will top meters. he doesnt pull aggro either (fetish of the sandreaver ftw. I got mine and its great)

5/9/2006 4:10:55 PM

for sure

w00t got 1h agility and firey enchants last night. im not paying 500g for the crusader recipe.

time to start making $$

5/10/2006 9:27:31 AM

I got crusader on my mainhand

was thinking about putting it on my offhand

but now I think i might put agi +15

wondering if the proc rate will stack/increase with two crusader swords?

5/10/2006 9:53:42 AM

according to a guildmate, it does

5/10/2006 10:22:00 AM

it's possible to get dual crusader procs, crusader is by far the best PVE enchant, agility is terrible for pve

5/10/2006 11:11:10 AM

^ what is the % to crit increase per point of agility?

5/10/2006 11:13:19 AM

Can you guys list some essential mods for a warlock to have?

Thanks, love you.

well i got bored at work today, so I made this because I'm at the point where I'm not completely embarassed w/my priest's gear.

http://ctprofiles.net/637754

also, made robes of the void for my 58 lock on Sun. night. I promptly dropped tailoring to pick up mining after making them. Mining is at 164 as of last night, and as soon as i max it out, I imagine I'll power lvl him to 60 in no time.

and on another side note fury warriors are fun. that is all.

"^ what is the % to crit increase per point of agility?"

for rogues, i believe its 30 agil per crit, so 2x +15 agil on weapons would yield 1% crit and 1% dodge, since burst dmg is key for pvp, +15 agil might be better off, and the dodge can't hurt in pvp. Rogues that can hit 100% with evasion vs a 2h warrior isn't a bad option of dueling. Sure they'll get hit for 1200 dmg but that's only once every 6 seconds.

Crusader will give you higher sustained dps for long PVE fights, which most fights in BWL/AQ are 5-15min. Warriors require only 20 agility per crit/dodge but still, crusader will add much more dps in the long run. +15 agil is a much better tanking enchant though, since it adds roughly .75% dodge whereas crusader really offers nothing, you could speculate the increase in dps and the healing will draw aggro, but I'd rather almost get a full dodge % and rely on my 8 other attacks that generate aggro. Crusader can also eat up a valuable debuff slot. Quel'Serrar + Crusader enchant = 2 procs, when you can only have 16, this weapon blows ass. You're better off getting a good tank weapon without a proc. During fights like twin emps, our tanks have roughly 11 buffs on, leaving 5 buffs over for a pw:s, renew, rejuv, regrowth, inspiration

from wowwiki:

Quote :

"Agility Increases Armor Class by 2 for every point of AGI. Increases the chance of a critical hit with melee and ranged attacks. The amount of the increase is dependant on both class and level. For most level 60 character classes, approximately 20 points of AGI will increase your critical hit chance by approximately 1%. Rogues require 29 AGI for an additional 1% critical hit chance, and Hunters require 53 AGI for an additional 1% critical hit chance, but both of these classes also gain attack power from agility and the items available to them typically have much higher amounts of AGI. Increases the chance to dodge an attack. The amount increased is dependant on both class and level. For most level 60 character classes, approximately 20 points of AGI will increase your chance to dodge by approximately 1%. Rogues only require 14.5 AGI for an additional 1% dodge chance. Hunters require 26.5 AGI for an additional 1% dodge chance, but Hunters typically have a high amount of agility, as well as an Aspect spell that further increases their chance to dodge attacks. "

5/10/2006 3:18:49 PM

How does the an alliance race have horns and look demonic????

that aint right

5/10/2006 3:19:56 PM

its not actually draeni tho

5/10/2006 3:28:02 PM

Quote :

"In the Burning Crusade, much of the action will take place on a planet called Draenor. The Draenei are the remnants of a once-thriving culture there that was mostly destroyed by orcs after the orcs were corrupted by the demons of the Burning Legion — the big bad guys in the game, who oppose both the Alliance and the Horde. In a twist, the Draenei are descended from the same demonic race, the Eredar, that produced some of Warcraft’s most fearsome foes, like the demon Archimonde. "

The lore has been changed though.

Werent the Draenei the native inhabitants of Draenor before? not some demonic descendent

they were always the native inhabitants of draenor and they are also decendents of the Eredar. The Draenai in Azeroth are a mutated remnant of the race that was in the Outland. They were mutated when the Burning Legion invaded


Famous Eredar include Archimonde and Kil`Jaedan

They joined the alliance becausethe Burning Legion fucked their shit up.

Question, my server (Medivh) is 3-1 Alliance. I would like to prepare for the expansion by getting a 60 horde character to twink out my blood elve rogue. I have a 35 lock and they are hella easy to get to 60 and get geared. I was also thinking about trying out a PvP server since I have a decent computer now. Not to spur a "my server > your server epeen epeen" debate but are any of you guys on a decent PvP server and see it continuing to be so in the future?

5/10/2006 10:02:30 PM
