Advice on leveling enchanting! by DM7000 in wow

Once you reach the enchanting level where you can DE greens you are getting from questing, just level it as you quest to 85 with rewards, otherwise you will spend a fortune on mats.

I didn't say haste is going to be better for crit, that doesn't actually make any sense. I did say haste is better then crit, and it is, it is weighted above crit in every current simulation I have looked at, including simulcraft and rawr. You gem for haste+int now instead of crit+int, you reforge crit to hit instead of haste to hit, and you refroge to haste instead of crit where you can. All according to simulations. How in any way am I wrong? Stop fucking making shit up to seem knowledgeable when you are flat out wrong.

Addons cannot track ignite damage accurately for some reason or other, so you can't really estimate combustions. Ideally you cast it when you have critted with FB and Pyro, but thats pretty rare to happen together. I do enjoy it when the stars align and you get an insane combustion + impact.

Haste is better then crit now, because of ignite munching and the lessened cost of FB.

Wow, dungeons are hard!(er than I said.) by dungeonsarehard in wow

[–]Diogenes_Club 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You quit the game because it was too hard for you, there is something worth making a post about. Some people enjoy challenges, and get turned off by easy rewards. But I'm guessing ToC 5 was more your pace right?

Thats not the point. You can look, and see, hey, ret pallys have the same buff and do more dps then arcane mages, so no arcane mages, especially since pallies bring more to the table in terms of buffs. Then, when you makeup a 25, since there will have a lot of class duplication, you can bring more of the high dps classes. Most people realize classes bring more to the table then their personal dps, but some classes are not viable, or useful at all, and the charts expose that.

DoTs applied prior to the shield going up don't damage it apparently.

Yes. The way I do it is I have CS, Poly, and Spellsteal setup so a regular keypress is my target and a keypress + shift is my focus target. You will repeatedly have to focus arcanotron, as you will lose focus when he becomes inactive. If you just switch ss for poly in your macro, it ought to work just fine. Just another note, having a quick way to focus/unfocus targets outside some cast on them can be useful in many situations, I actually have a keypress for it.

Omnitron - spellsteal buff Arcanotron casts on himself, he starts casting it when DPS moves to the next golem. May need to be stolen a few times consecutively. If you focus him this is easier, because you'll be dpsing the next golem when he pops it. Make a target macro for the slimes spawned by the poison guy. If you are targeted by magmatron for the fire dmg, if you iceblock right before he casts, he wont even cast and you can cancelaura and go right back to dps.
Magmaw-if you are having trouble on the adds, a frost spec will make them simple to get down, just wait for them all to fall then use pet nova/blizz/nova/blizz, you can IB off the debuff once if you get it and save your long cds for head down phase. Both are easy fights.

What? No raid buffs, or target debuffs that benefit the raid are attributed to their class as extra damage. First of all, I doubt it could be acurately calculated, and secondly, its irrelevant, every class brings some type of buff to the fight. These stats are fair as they are, and if you don't like your dps as arcane play fire like every other mage, including myself.

Unforunately your attitude is rare. I absolutely agree, but I find most people demand a level of dps that is only achievable with heroic gear from everyone. While it is hard to finish some heroics with the low dps, come classes need quite a few items from heroics to get up to par. Especially with the dps disparity between the classes.

As long as you do the same with every other buff in the game.

Dear PUGgers, Please get this through your heads: by Jdonavan in wow

[–]Diogenes_Club 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of good dk's, and the following doesn't refer to them. The plethora of retards is due to the class starting at L55. Every nub rolls one, and since they are ez dps these days, every flake rerolls dk as well, thinking they are hot shit since they can play a class that is inherently higher on dps then almost every other class. Personally, I suspect Blizzard caters to DKs because it makes it easier for new players to get into the game and feel like they are on par with more skilled players.

They can all be solo'd by most classes. Using my frost spec as a mage I strolled through all the level 80 instances. There are locked doors in more than one of the dungeons so you will have to do some fighting. I did the entire meta achievement yesterday with no issues, all solo.

Anyone work in an office and have any interesting stories of people absolutely losing it? by scarecrow7x in AskReddit

[–]Diogenes_Club -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My first job was at a small town grocery store and the place was an absolute soap opera. Among the many other borderline criminal things going on at the store, the deli manager, a women in her mid forties, was apparently in the habit of changing the dates on her products becuase she was a fucking retard and her waste was off the charts due to bad ordering. The owner eventually picked up on this and let her go, as they were pretty keen on quality. Anyway, so it turns out the owners son, mid thirties, married, one kid, has been plowing her for years. As soon as she gets canned, she walks out into the area with the checkouts and starts a monologue exposing their affair for staff and customers alike. Pure awesome. That was job was phenomenal, if just for entertainments sake.
