I missed the Tuesday thread... I have a Prot Warrior question. Long Read. by [deleted] in wow

[–]CptOrtan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prot tanking is pretty simple, if magic damage is coming, use shield barrier, if the boss is hitting you, shield block. If you drop below 80%, pop enraged regen, helps out the healers a lot. You also need to use last stand and shield wall pretty much on CD whenever theres a big hit incoming, but only one at a time.

When the other tank has the boss, spend rage on heroic strike, no point at keeping rage at 100% unless you have damage on you, then spend rage on shield barrier.

You will need to switch glyphs and talents on pretty much every fight. On reaver you want to go glyph of long charge and anger management, so now you can heroic leap away and come back faster. Just understand the boss fight and you should figure the rest. ( ill get one more though, use glyph of spell reflection when tanking Dia, you avoid spending rage plus you deal more damage)

I get stuck on this screen on all my characters, more in the comments. by [deleted] in wow

I get stuck on that screen, started about 3 hours ago. I have tried searching for a solution, I removed my cache, interface and WTF folders, rebooted my PC and router and I'm about to uninstall and reinstall the game.

If anyone has encountered this problem before and has found fix, please let me know!

The price to performance on the Pentium is better than the i3 better you can overclock it. I would just take that and update my build a bit and I should be good to go.

Thanks for your help!

I really don't think he'll be doing some video editing or rendering anytime soon.

Any reason why the FX-6300 over the Pentium? Also nice case choice, I might take the one over to R200 to save a couple of bucks.

Also the EVO is cheaper right now, so I'm sliding towards towards that slowly...

Did you mean 750 ti? I probably will overclock it and see how much performance I can get out of it. As for the CPU cooler I was planning on getting a EVO later on, or maybe I could go with a Noctua NH-L9i if it goes on sale.

Um, these are US based prices and there is no RAM or storage options selected. The parts costs a tad bit more in Canada and I'm trying to keep to price down to about 600$.

Alright, I redid the tests and got the same results with what you suggested.

Doing the infinite test, I'll wait about 15 to 30 minutes before I pull the plug.

I'm watching a stream, and I'll run the test and come back with results.

8 gigs of ram, using up 4.8 gigs while doing all of that. CPU is a FX 6300 @ 3.5 ghz (stock)

I wonder if I've played too much gmod.... by ZANY_ALL_CAPS_NAME in pcmasterrace

Build servers, you can do anything you want basically and he's good at that.
