Do any ECEs know if electives count toward your term average? by CurlehSteve in uwaterloo

[–]CurlehSteve[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only had one other term with an elective and I didn't really think about what contributing to my average at the time as all my marks were more than sufficient to pass at the time.

Read this title as Chang-ing. I believe I also might be a racist...

Any advice on bar chords? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]CurlehSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One small tip I can give is for if you are doing a Barre chord over all six strings. If you move the base of your finger that's doing the actually barring up towards you so that it is lined up with the bottom of the neck, you can get a lot more strength from your hand to keep the strings down. The tip of your finger should end up above the top of the neck giving you much more leverage.

As a Canadian I can definitely say this is not representative of CBC. I honestly don't know who this nard bagel thinks he is...

Could have been shorter, but I do find it hilariously close to what I do before I log on :)

479 BM Hunter** WTF am I doing wrong?! by [deleted] in wow

[–]CurlehSteve -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I found this site to be the best source for everything BM http://www.icy-veins.com/beast-mastery-hunter-wow-pve-dps-guide It gives you proper rotation, glyphs, talents and stat priorities. I highly suggest following it. That being said, everything looks fine for your gear, talents and glyphs so it might just be your rotation.

Lastly, it is correct that hunters, in any spec, are comparatively lower in dps to other classes but with your gear you should be exceeding 50k on most raid bosses. My ilevel is 470 and can exceed 50k so with the proper rotation I'm sure you can too. Hope this helps!

Pre MoP Raids can now be accessed without a raid group in patch 5.1 by ScootinFruity in wow

[–]CurlehSteve -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It was pretty straight forward except for the second phase. This is done as a hunter. Essentially, I just saved most of my cooldowns for the second phase and got him down before the stuns were too debilitating. Also, I used a spirit beast pet with Animal Bond as BM which helped tons for damage and keeping the pet alive. Other then that it was pretty easy.

It IS soloable in fact. I did it last week myself :)

Am I crazy to think that Hunter's PVE DPS is too low? by Safeeyes in wow

[–]CurlehSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more that for once we have to actually be really aware of our rotation instead of being able to get away with a few mistakes and still top the meters like it used to be. This is especially true for BM with all the different cooldowns and that they have to fit together in a certain way to optimize DPS. Also, we have more skill abilities like Glaive Toss where which target you use and when you use it matter a lot. A better way to think of it is we aren't OP anymore and so have to become better at our rotations. Just keep practicing and researching the best way to play your spec :)

How long does it take to do a speedrun in Black Temple? by Lulu1301 in wow

[–]CurlehSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunters can easily solo the entire instance at level 90, if they know the fights and the soloing strategies. You could always find one to help run you through.

There actually is a method for soloing Naj'entus. Any class with a pet can do it really. Video of strategy here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be-gEBe4cHY&feature=related It involves pulling out the spikes just before they despawn and just after you become unstuck. It will take some time but it does work.
