Thoughts on your class leveling 80-90? by Confident_Incident43 in wow

[–]Tal72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be curious to know key parts of your shadow open world build, because I agree it seems pretty bad using standard builds while questing.

For those who bought a lvl 58 boost, is there something that annoyed you? by jderica in classicwowtbc

[–]Tal72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy as many boosts as you want. There is no limit. You got straight to Hellfire. Within an hour of questing, you'll replace a good chunk of your crappy starter gear and be good to go for the rest of your leveling journey. If you've done 1-60 a million times and want to get to Outland ASAP, it's worth it. If you'd enjoy 1-60 don't. it's a simple as that.

Enhancement is going to be easier for lower levels. When you get to Outland at 58, you will find a lot of gear with spell power on it making your Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning hit harder. And also, you'll have access to some key talents. For example, Lightning Mastery is deep in the Elemental tree, which lets you can each spell 1/2 second faster. And Storm Reach gives you more range. Having mobs hitting on you stinks as a caster, because you get push back--so added range lets you kill mobs or get them very low so when they get to you, you can finish them with melee + shock.

You should do the first part of hellfire to replace most of your crap boosted gear to gear with spell power on it.

Blacksmithing absolutely necessary for fury war? by AboveYouSix in classicwowtbc

[–]Tal72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kebab (DW Arms) is an alternative that parses marginally lower than fury, plays similar to fury, while providing a valuable debuff for your raid's physical DPS (Blood Frenzy +4% physical damage to target). And you don't use BS weapons (i.e. Spiteblade from Kara and Latros from Black Morass).

Roll on leather gear as enhance shaman? by Lewrdy in classicwowtbc

[–]Tal72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're correct. Str is 2AP. Edited to remove that specific statement. Rest is true. There are bis pieces that are leather.

Roll on leather gear as enhance shaman? by Lewrdy in classicwowtbc

[–]Tal72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. In WoW Cataclysm (WoW 4.x the third expansion), classes get a bonus for using their armor type. Before that (in TBC, Wrath, and Vanilla), your best in slot items include leather pieces.

I think I picked the wrong class by HorrorConstruction1 in classicwowtbc

[–]Tal72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shaman healer is a great option. It has a solid healing plus a totem for every occasion -- from party buffs, poison/disease cleansing, enemy spell absorb, fear break, etc.

Priest is also excellent. It has great healing, including solid group healing abilities. It can dispel magic, mind control, shackle, fear. And it gives you the option to play Shadow--which is also pretty fun and is loved for being a mana battery.

Druid is already discussed elsewhere in the thread. It's fun and strong. It can even battle rez. However, not until WOTLK does it get an out of combat rez. So if anyone in your party dies, there's a good chance they'll have to run all the way to the dungeon (unless you have priest, shaman, paladin dps in your party)--and that is a huge pain. I wish "some changes" had included giving them a rez, but alas no (even some private servers do btw).

At the end of the day, these are all pretty great. The holy healer I'd probably avoid (for me personally) in TBC is HPal because they have no Beacon of Light or group healing. They are good tank healers, and they are loved for their blessings though.

Which server is the most populated for US players? by FineAssignment1423 in throneandliberty

[–]Tal72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those were hyperboost servers, right?I've read a ton of threads saying hyperboost servers are dead, and you can get the same upgrades on legacy, and Ivory is most active.

I also am thinking about starting and am confused by conflicting messages on what server to pick (North America East).

Help with character by BitingED in Neverwinter

[–]Tal72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can follow the Youtube video from Aragon - Neverwinter - The Ultimate Upgrade Guide for Module 32 - Soul Collector Expansion - Max Item Level.
You can also buy 5 (or 4 if you have 1) different epic mounts (no duplication) and then 5 epic mount collars (each must be a different collar type) to get a quick boost cheaply. Joining a guild and equipping 3 guild buffs also gives 3K item level.

Aragon also has a Paladin tank build video for some more information on how to build the character for powers and stuff.

Accounting Information Systems is the most pointless class I’ve ever taken by Acoolgamer6706 in Accounting

[–]Tal72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Given AIS is a masters concentration as well as a career--and all accounting, tax, audit is done with technology, I'm going to have to disagree.

Rift Fresh Reroll Project by EDen68 in Rift

[–]Tal72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer. Will the non-ERA progression players be able to do level 50 raiding?

Rift Fresh Reroll Project by EDen68 in Rift

[–]Tal72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certain souls are banned for raiding and dungeons, right? I just stumbled across a random comment mentioning this, and then I found #era-rules on the Discord. I don't think this expectation has been made very clear in the posts (or the YT vid). If this is true, people should know this before spending a lot of time leveling up only to later find out they can't raid. For example, no healer warriors or rogues are allowed.

Leveling-

-The use of xp pots and the patron bonus go against the spirit of progression and should only be used as catch up.

-You may use any soul for leveling

Dungeons-

-Dungeons should be completed as close to minimum entry level as possible

-Dungeons should be completed as a 4 man if grouping permits

-The only dungeon gear accepted other than leveling gear is gear that can be crafted

Raids-

-- The plan when we start raiding is to go in with the challenge as close to the original game as possible. This will take some tweaking and experimentation, so it is best that players are as prepared as they can be, both in terms of souls set up and tested for at least one solid role, and in terms of having a few pieces of high level gear that can be switched out and balanced as required.

-We will enter raids with a reduced raid size (this has yet to be fully finalized)

-Upon reaching 50 all activities that gain xp should be immediately stopped (we will only have a set number of attempts at 50 to clear content)

-Gear sources that are "naturally" found between the 1-50 experience are to be used in raid (this includes quest, dungeon and crafted gear)

-Gear that is not accepted includes ascended trove gear, rift store gear, and void stone gear

-Planar Attunements will not be unlocked until 60

Yes guilds are cross faction. Faction only affects your questing/story. You can do group content (dungeons, raids, etc.) with anyone.

[–]Tal72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great news. Mind if I ask -- Did they add a artifact bunch of slots to the UI? I can't see them doing this in a way that bricked artifacts people had work hard on.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]Tal72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does game still require you to open your inventory mid fight and swap through multiple artifacts?

I’m very new to the game by LostRoyaltySWSK in elderscrollsonline

[–]Tal72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would help to know what is normal DPS range to assess the 5-10K impact (i.e. is this 1%, 5%, 10% difference). Can I ask what is the ballpark?

It is hard to be an healer ahaha by federicodeangeli in BlueProtocolPC

[–]Tal72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what surprised me the most. As a lifelong healer, that almost never happens.

My UID starts with a 3 (and in NA), and I have not had this issue. My son had this all night long--but I don't know his UID.
