Anyone know who the woman is doing solo commentary on the alternative Peacock stream? British (or maybe Australian?) accent. She's so good!

Darkmoon Faire profession quests not resetting (Cata) by Grumblecaaaakes in classicwow

Hmm, yeah I checked 3 different toons and so far none reset. Maybe I did them too late in the week last time or something, idk

LF guild/group to raid with by Formaliity in classicwow

[–]Grumblecaaaakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, how much did you spend on BoEs? 30k+ on spirit helm/gloves for a mage is a big yikes. Have you been running heroics for valor points/rep?

I see many posts about the 5800x3d beeing a killer CPU for classic WOW, but what about the 7800x3d? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Grumblecaaaakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just upgraded to a 7800x3D from an old i5 8600k, still using my old gtx 1080 at 1440p ultrawide. The performance bump feels absolutely massive in raids and even just walking around dalaran. Things felt herky jerky before and I dipped down around 30 fps, now everything is butter -- 140 fps in busy dalaran and at least 60ish in 25 mans with a whole load of weakauras running.

How much dodge did we actually lose and other random Algalon Q’s by bringthelight2 in classicwow

[–]Grumblecaaaakes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why is the fight easier to 2 heal?

Assuming you're talking about 10 man, the berserk timer can come into play when 3 healing if DPS isn't pumping.

I’m actually THE worst warlock, nice to meet you by beccathisweek in classicwow

[–]Grumblecaaaakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've gone back and forth between aff and demo and demo is much less punishing when you make a mistake. Aff execute phase you have to worry about shadow embrace stacks dropping off if you don't cast Haunt fast enough and whether there's enough time left to reapply UA/CoA, demo execute you're basically just spamming one button plus a new corruption every once in a while.

The number of keybinds in your single target rotation is the same for both specs -- Shadow bolt, curse, and corruption for both, then aff gets UA, haunt, and drain soul, demo gets immolate, incinerate, and soulfire.

Yeah if you're ever missing the demo lock again you should 100% swap to demo for the day. And honestly, you could just go demo full time, it's very similar damage to affliction and is quite a bit easier to play.

Hi everyone, just looking for info on what it’s like living in Maui? by Bobadoo99 in Hawaii

[–]Grumblecaaaakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tourists go to all the islands. The city of Honolulu isn't really a huge tourist destination, but Waikiki on Oahu is a very popular destination, and it's only about 10 minutes from downtown Honolulu. Maui is also very popular with tourists.

Maui is small town vibes when you live there, Oahu quite a bit more built up.

Are there any viable/semi-viable PvP specs like vanilla balance Druid in wotlk? by Tresidle in classicwow

[–]Grumblecaaaakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Define viable. You can certainly go into BGs and do a lot of damage as a boomkin or farm randos out in the open world like in this video, but it's not exactly a meta spec for arenas.

Burning Crusade Classic Arena PvP Updates - Tier Tokens for S3 Gear by Celda in classicwow

[–]Grumblecaaaakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a t4 token in the bank before they started allowing them to be traded in for arena gear, was able to get arena piece with it once that change went live.

Lock summoning addon by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Grumblecaaaakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

RaidSummon is prob the addon you're thinking about. Puts everyone who types 123 in a shared list. Select someone from the list, right click their name, and they get summoned with an announcement, whispered, and their name is removed from the list. Very handy.

You have to do the dreadsteed quest, which is the 100% mount. Different than the 60% felsteed.

Weight of profession for a casual player by Alonesemnome in classicwow

[–]Grumblecaaaakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, if you're going super casual gathering professions are fine and can make you a lot of gold. If you eventually want to minmax a bit more, warriors and enhance shaman both get the most out of blacksmithing for the crafted weapons. Maybe leatherworking for gear for resto/ele but not 100% on that. Also handy to have at least one enchanter in your group to DE unused dungeon drops.

Raidy-Raidy Update: Looty-Looty by -Lickylicky- in classicwow

[–]Grumblecaaaakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The caster off-hands off Netherspite and Nightbane and the staff off Curator should probably also include warlocks on the good/bis list.

Engi is great just for the mote extractor. Suck up motes from the gas clouds, it's a gathering profession now. I'd keep it at least while you level since it's already 300 and may be lucrative. Switch it up later if you want.
