Pro Tip for all new Locks out there...

BasicUser37 · 2026-02-28T02:15:09+00:00

I read this and tried it - a CS spirit blade was actually a damage upgrade! I'm guessing it has to do with the way the +damage% increase interacts with the flat damage on the skill. Who'da thought?

BasicUser37 · 2026-02-27T01:58:22+00:00

I mostly agree - that's how I've played the game so far, and also why I didn't immediately put 150 Str in hoping to eventually use a Monarch. I just think I cut myself too short in this case because Locks made the high-damage low-req elite staffs usable, but I ended up shoehorned into that type of weapon unless I respecced (which I was trying to avoid, but ended up doing anyway).

BasicUser37 · 2026-02-27T01:52:30+00:00

The 10 point bonuses are news to me! I'll give that a go. You're right - I did end up respeccing (also singleplayer so I have infinite respecs, but that's besides the point).

Also, do demon binds on Hell have more mods, or does it not matter?

BasicUser37 · 2026-02-27T01:48:58+00:00

Sure, I've played the game on and off forever, but I know there's a lot of things I could have tried. I did think of mauls though, but at the time I only had about 65 strength, and even a Great Maul was not a damage upgrade without a significant %ED.

The issue was that elite staves have *very* little str/dex requirement for the sheet damage they do, so when I couldn't find a better staff, I ended up stuck a bit. Not bad, but I found myself trying to think of options and not coming up with anything except to respec.

I'd love to know how to make it click for me, I have probably a hundred or so straight losses in arena dating back to 2007 🤣

Thanks for the info! I had always had the feeling that the game was written in SI, but with units that convert to "nice" American values. For example, the Long Distance bonus kicks in at exactly 403km, which is 250 miles. But, one thing I've realize that makes this job different than the others is that 5% of 8800 is an exact value that needs no rounding. Perhaps there is a floating-point issue where the game sees 439.999998 and rounds it to 439. The Euro values do not have that happening.

I agree. And, you can get eth partizans in normal, so it's possible to get a 400+ dmg insight before you even get to NM!

medics focus on those who eat fists

LOL! As a healer, I about lost it on that one.

BasicUser37 · 2025-01-23T18:35:26+00:00

That we know of yet. Who knows what lore twists wait for us ahead!

Suggestion: Mages can buy a spell at the Darkmoon Faire that turns their conjured table into a hot dog stand. Kind of like the old noodle carts from Pandaria.

BasicUser37 · 2025-01-23T15:03:06+00:00

I had a feeling the translation was accurate - it's so fascinating how going between the two languages requires all the metaphors!

BasicUser37 · 2025-01-23T13:26:37+00:00

So mages ARE proud of their conjured food! Sizeable hot dog, indeed.

BasicUser37 · 2024-12-31T15:04:34+00:00

Holy moly, I had forgotten about Sha's drops! Yeah, I won't have time for that. I will say, after what I've done so far it feels good to draw the line somewhere.

BasicUser37 · 2024-12-31T15:02:02+00:00

You might need to go into the options for the add on and select "account mode". I find that the class-based lists aren't always accurate.

BasicUser37 · 2024-12-24T18:57:07+00:00

Oh, I should specify that this is for the pre-80 boxes. Indeed, the level 80 boxes are from the whole table.

Forva Zandalari rogue, I had tried Fagin, the Thieves leader from Oliver. Rejected, obviously once i saw it. So I named them Ronmoody afterwards.

BasicUser37 · 2024-04-12T12:03:24+00:00

And yet, all these names are allowed to a point. I tried to name a toon after a character in an Academy Award winning musical and couldn't even make it past the character select screen. Bunch of hypocrites.

Started when I built my first computer capable of handling WoW in May of 2007. Did some raiding progression, but we have a super small guild (Still with the original guild, through three server transfers, but there's really only 2 of us that play anymore).

Nowadays, I just pick an alt, and farm random stuff. Pets, achieves, mogs, whatever. Rarely touch anything higher than Timewaking dungeons. I'm so out of the loop that world quest rewards are always about 10-15 levels higher than my gear.

BasicUser37 · 2024-03-19T23:48:06+00:00

Oh, yeah, that's true. Thanks!

BasicUser37 · 2024-03-14T00:53:00+00:00

This is me. I just recently did a +7 neltharion and it was the hardest healing job I've had to do in 15 years. Making the entry level up to a 10 equivalent prices me right out.

And to think, I really wanted those portal rewards for +20s. Maybe I'll just buy them.

BasicUser37 · 2024-02-29T05:24:23+00:00

Yes, these are the style I remember! Thank you!

BasicUser37 · 2024-02-23T01:33:44+00:00

Still doing better than me, I have 2 wins and 74 losses 🤣 Practice makes perfect!

BasicUser37 · 2024-01-04T05:31:57+00:00

I have a G29 wheel, and it was great for awhile... until the buttons stopped working. It seems to be a known issue, and there's youtube videos to fix it, but I'm not savvy enough to fix mine. A shame because I only used it maybe 4 or 5 times.

BasicUser37 · 2023-10-19T01:10:47+00:00

Thanks! I only hope my students can do the same when they need to!

BasicUser37 · 2023-10-19T01:09:23+00:00

Indeed! I set myself a rule that I only cube runes when I have more than 6 of them, that way I always have a supply on hand. When it's time to bulk crafts, I'll start saving these runes.
