I can do better than that! I think...
First a little backstory: ( Insert PuG whining )The upshot of all this is I'm seriously considering learning to tank, myself. I want to be a good tank, and I know at least heroics so well I can do them in my sleep. But to be honest, I'm scared. I'm not as comfortable in a leader role as being second-in-command. I have occasional issues multitasking, and surprises make me freeze the first couple of times (I do develop patterns around "surprises", though. Like healing clothies at first made me go AAAHHH!, but now I'm just go "meh, Rejuv, Swiftmend, there ya go"). I know I'll need tons of practice, and I have tanking websites bookmarked. I have a BoA'd baby pally now, since they seem to be the most newbie-proof. And yet, will my weaknesses default me into "bad tank" category? I main a healer, and I've played dps for years, so I try and be considerate of all party members. Just someone might get their faces eaten every once in a while if I'm tired. >_> To the ladies (and lurking gents) who tank, or those crazy people who spec tank/healer, should I really give this a shot? Or should I quietly delete the pally and pretend I never had such a crazy idea? Thanks a ton! :D Current Mood:  nervous |

Color me silly, but....
I just hit exalted with the Sunreavers through the LFG rep gains. Now, I know who They are - they're the Horde folk in Dalaran. What I don't know is - what's the point? What do I gain from exalted status with these guys? Is there a quartermaster? Inquiring minds must know! |

GRRR
Ok, just a rant! :) I was totally in love with this new LFG thing but I just got done running heroic violet hold on my hunter alt... the staff dropped and it was an upgrade from my blue, so I asked if I could need it. But there was a druid in the group who said he REALLY needed it and before I could even blink, someone did that vote thing and I was kicked out of the party. WTF. That is all. Current Mood:  aggravated |

Since you guys reply faster than Blizzard Tech support...
So I'm in Ratchet and I'm running to catch the boat which is taking off. I jump and land right behind the boat. Somehow it's dragging me along with it! Great. Not the best server at the bow but I'll take what I can get.
The loading screen is stuck. It says I'm in Stranglethorn to other people but I don't load back up. So I quit WoW from the taskbar and load it back up. I disconnect as soon as my character pops up. Twice. I can't really unstick my character if I can't even stay logged in.
What do I do? Current Mood:  confused |

Power Auras
Thank you for the suggestion of Power Auras from my prot pally post the other day. I downloaded and am slowly figuring out how to use it, but in setting it up for my ret spec I've run up against two problems so far: I have Crusader Strike and Divine Storm macro'd to the same key. No particular reason except I needed to make space in my toolbar, and now I'm just used to that configuration. When I tried to set up each of the spells in Power Auras though, it doesn't seem to be sensitive to whether I am pressing 5 or shift-5. It reacts to both so I can't tell which spell is available. Is this fixable? How do I get it to show me both when Art of War procs and Exorcism is available, in one icon? I keep seeing references to it in Google searches, but no explanation of how to do it. Thanks! |

Random poll is random.
I know I just posted a bit ago, but now I have some questions! With polls! Everyone likes polls, right? And my paid account expires in five days and I feel the need to abuse my paid features so bear with me.( Five random questions, you know you like polls~ )What's your most random, burning question about World of Warcraft you want people to answer? |

Map, map, map..
What sort of addons do you ladies use for your map? I'm currently mourning the loss of my Cartographer and can't seem to find a suitable replacement. I've been fighting with Alphamap to make it bend to my will, but so far no luck. Any former cartographer users have suggestions for different addons?! Thanks in advance, Keezy (Hyjal) |

A caster question - which weapon to use?
This might be an awfully noobish question, but bear with me. While leveling, my main (arcane/FFB mage) used staves pretty exclusively because they were easier to find. Upon hitting 80, I discovered that using a caster sword/off-hand combo was easier at the time. Currently, I use a Seethe and Ward of the Violet Citadel combo, but I've been eyeballing the Engraved Gargoyle Femur from HPOS. Would the staff be better than my current combo? I get really confused when comparing mainhand/offhand combos with staves, so if anyone has any tips for an easier way to calculate changes (because the shift-click only shows the staff replacing a particular item and not them both, right?). For you caster-types, do you prefer a MH/OH combo or a staff? Thanks for your patience with me, ladies! :) |

brain-explodey.
Okay. I am a EU girl on US realms which I have been messing around on for a year to play with friends overseas, cool beans. Luvs it. I have a very dead EU account that has BC on it, and a baby druid. I had this before I got a US account and sometimes played with my friend's kid, he has health issues and I have known him since he was born so of course, when he suddenly strikes up an interest in WoW again and wants me to play with him, I want to try and ressurect my EU account again. What I want to know is; I have wotlk game client downloaded on my pc for my US account, my EU account is BC. Will I be able to download the EU version of WoW without problems? What do I need to do to make this work?! Is it even possible? EDIT: To anyone with the same question, changing US to EU on the realmlist file does work, and you can switch back and forth. Thanks ladies! |

Raiding Resto Druid Check-in!
So, my lovely raiding trees, let's talk patch changes. How has the patch affected you? I haven't seen a lot of good discussion on how the patch has changed things for us. Did you regem for hastecap? How much spellpower did you lose on average? How is your healing compared to other trees who have/haven't changed their haste rating yet? We got a new tree just as the changes went live, and he's doing more EHPS than me while still at 400 haste, but I suspect that he's either just better than me or not raiding at 400 ms lag. Other new tree isn't haste capped either but we're much more evenly spread on the meters. I wish I had a long-term tree healing buddy in guild to compare with. Are you using the glyph of rapid rejuv? In all situations? Where is it really shining? What glyphs did you replace? I'm running WG/Swiftmend/Rejuv for 25s and Nourish/Swiftmend/Rejuv for 10s right now, but I'm wondering if the WG bonus is worth it for most of ICC25 - there's not a lot of clumped raid damage except for D&Ds, the trash before Lady, and people standing in fire/cleave on Marrowgar. Nothing like Twins/Steelbreaker, or Acidmaw/Dreadscale poison and fire. I LOVE rapid rejuv though - it feels really great on tanks, on raid spike damage, for 5s. I love being able to toss just one heal on the tank and then DPS my way through heroic pugs. I'v noticed a loss of about 2k on my top end Nourish crits without the glyph, which sucks. How's mana been? I had some TERRIBLE mana troubles our first week after regemming. I lost a ton of spirit in the change to my haste set. I had to go to an Mp5 flask and beg innervates off our feral. But then the week after, once the raid learned to minimize damage and I got the sexy new staff off Saur10, I'm back to normal. Ooh, and spec! I went to celestial focus, since otherwise I would have to wear a pvp trinket to get haste capped. I threw the extra point in the extended range for balance spells, which I'm digging in FC and PvP. I took Revitalize for the utility and lost Living Seed, which is about a 3-4% healing loss but I think it makes up for it in raid DPS/healer mana. I am strongly considering taking 2 points out of Nature's Bounty to fill out Empowered Touch. Does anyone know of any maths on which is better? 10% crit or 20% bonus healing? I haven't seen any on EJ yet. And can I just grumble that 1. We need 736 haste and they put 140 on our tier set?? THANKS. 2. How FUG is that brown robe they call T10? It's so boring, it looks like an oatmeal sackcloth. Do not want. 3. I hate doing Santa's Little Helper because I cannot shift forms. My fingers twitch over those buttons constantly wtb tree wtb birdie wtb wtb oh I'm dead anyway. Oh, one more question - when are you switching to T10 - 2p/2p? Did you already break your 4 for the haste set? I managed to keep mine, though my crit rating took a dive from about 25% to 12% so I duno if it's even worth it. Basically, let's talk tree! What's going on with yo' branches. |

Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime
I figure since Christmas is next week, it's finally not too soon to post this. And for all of you who don't celebrate/participate in Christmas, well then--enjoy an amusing video that doesn't really have much to do with the holiday. :) |

80, now what? rogue guide
I hit 80 with my first character on Tuesday. I must say, it's like having your 27th birthday - doesn't feel any different from 26. She's a combat specced rogue with some LW and some dungeon blues, but surely not great stuff. I don't even know what my DPS is and I'm not sure I want to know. Anyway, I was in a guild group last night and we totally failed at Forge of Souls. We wiped 3 times on Bromjahn. He was casting something that was instantly killing the mage (my husband) and warlock (my husband's best friend). Then our healer would die and the tank and I would spank away at Brom barely doing any damage before he'd just kill us both. The mage, warlock, and priest have all been 80 for awhile and are decently geared. The warrior tank is the GM of the guild and is the best tank I've ever played with. I've never wiped in an instance with any of these people. The GM insisted that he changed the instance from heroic (which we intended to try initially) to reg since I'm newly 80, but is it possible that he didn't? We were even having problems on trash and my husband kept saying, "what the hell? I ran this instance on heroic with a PUG the other night and we didn't have any problems!!" Regardless of what was going on, I need help. Anyone know of a good 80 rogue guide that's in plain English (leet speak makes my brain explode) and is reasonable for a casual player with two young kids? I want to be able to do instances with my husband and guild, but not if I'm going to make it suck for everyone. Thanks. :) |

WoW crashing after 3.3?
Has anyone else had random crashes of WoW since the patch? I've never ever had a problem with the whole thing just seizing up and performing some illegal action. And now suddenly since last week Tuesday, it happens all the time. I went so far as to delete my WTF folder and that fixed things for about 3 days and now, every morning when I log in to any character, it crashes before I even reach wherever I parked myself, and at random intervals it just /kerpluts and kicks me out. I've googled the various codes that it gives me and the only thing it ever says is to delete the WTF folder and I'm tired of reconfiguring all of my add-ons every time. |

Authenticators
I've got a question for people with mobile authenticators. Are there different EU and US versions, as with the "real" authenticators? I live in Europe but play on the US servers, so I'd have no use for an EU version... |

three questions
1. I've heard that you can as of patch 3.3 send BOA items to toons on your account in the opposite faction. How do you go about doing that? 2. When do we get the BB guns to do the PVP achievement? My guild's trying to plan a run for this. We imagine it's under the tree on Christmas day-- can anyone confirm? 3. Does anyone have a good resource guide for leveling a Pally that's actually up-to-date and doesn't refer to talents or spells that no longer exist? I'm especially looking for some spec advice for both Ret (for leveling) and Healing (for Pugging) specs @lvl 21 (what I currently am), @40, and @58. Any thoughts on spec or pally leveling in general are welcome. Thanks! |

Everything's Good, Butterbear
I've been poking about online hunting Bear-centric websites. Haven't found much, to be honest. Maybe I fail at Google, or maybe what I want doesn't exist. I've found sites focused on Druids, and sites focused on tanks, but no sites devoted to Druid tanks. I found blogs, but i've been searching for more community-type Bear sites. I don't count blogs as those are more 'one person posting' and others replying, as opposed to an actual forum where there's no 'star' of the site. So I created my own forum for Bear tanks. I call it Butterbear. Just made it last night, so there's not much going on at the moment. Still tweaking it a bit. I don't expect it to be a huge hit. I just wanted someplace where Bears can feel the /love. We can talk about Bear things, exchange stories, share whatever we feel like sharing. There's a general Druid section, too, but the focus is Bear. All are welcome to join. And I think i'll explain something before it's asked... The name "Butterbear" comes from a joke with my guildies. Two guys from a different guild we have an alliance with found out i'm female. And single. And saw a RL photo i'd posted to my own guild's forum. Next thing I know they're both flirting all over me. And since i'm a decent sort of tank they have reason to want me running raids with them. Well, guildies commented that they were "buttering me up" so they'd have a raid-bear (theirs took a break to go Cat for a bit at the time, I think). Hence the term "Butterbear" was born. The full expression they came up with is "Everything's Good, Butterbear." They're silly. But the nickname's stuck and i've gotten used to it. So it was the first thing that popped into mind, that wasn't overused, when I went to create my little Bear forum. |

Another PUG post - but NOT a rant! XD
I have noticed, like most of you, that because the random PUG generator puts people together, there's no reason for people to talk. No "Can I get a summon please?" or "I have a healer if we still need one." We don't have to talk. So, the ice doesn't get broken. And I can be kinda quiet and reserved, so I may not talk unless other people are talking. But last night I decided to start an experiment. I ran two PUGs and both times I started out, as soon as we got into the instance, with a very bright and cheery "Hi! How is everyone doing today?" And both groups actually did start talking more. Usually it was just 1 or 2 people chatting with me, but it made the run more pleasant. I'll have to continue this experiment and I encourage you girls to try it out, too. :) On a side note - my guild is <3 [g] Me: I am running an experiment. [g] Random Guildy: Yes, Kel, Gnomes do smoke when held over an open flame, now put me down!

Hello wow_ladies!
Hi there everyone! My name is Gemz and I'm a n00b to the community. My main is a level 80 Night Elf Warrior on Sporeggar-EU. I also have numerous alts on other realms. I'm hoping that this community will allow me to meet some new friends and will help me to become a better tank. :D I wanted to ask about stats and equipment for tanking. What would you recommend for heroic dungeons and raids? I have a defence rating of 544 and my HP is around 25k (maybe slightly over). I would like to do more heroics and raid, but can't quite manage it with what I have. Here's the link to my main's character sheet on the armoury: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sporeggar&n=CerridwinI've had a look through the suggested upgrades, but would love opinions of fellow players too. Any advice would be appreciated. :D Thanks! Current Mood:  chipper |

Taking advantage of your dragon friends.
Sometimes being a tauren just isn't big and intimidating enough to get things done. Sometimes you need your dragon to help out when you have to steal some Alliance supplies! ...and also serve as a getaway vehicle when the other team starts chasing you on gryphon-back.

How awesome is this?
Hi, I'm Feitan aka Zahki from Wyrmrest Accord. You might know me from posting the In Character Zul'Aman RP raid, and the various pictures I take with my WoW figures. My main is an Undead Warlock, and I have longed for the Undead Warlock figure. However it has long since been out of print, and is a pain to find. ( However.... ) |

bog.
For the longest time, I used Ammo-matique to manage my ammo; it'd automatically swap between cheaper and spendier arrows depending on whether I was targeting trash or bosses, as well as put all my arrows into one specific bag so things are tidier. Well, it hasn't been updated since October, and 3.3 broke it a bit so that, when I left-clicked on something to select it for attack, my cursor would turn into the ammo pile currently in use; if I clicked on nothing, it'd ask me if I wanted to delete the ammo pile, and if I clicked on my bars, it'd exchange the pile with the icon in that place, even though my bars are locked. Extremely annoying, especially in the middle of combat. I disabled the addon and the bug seems to have gone away for now (at least, it hasn't repeated since I turned it off), but it's utterly spoiled me for ammo management and I'm rather senile in my old age so I don't always remember to swap manually. Any other hunters out there know of a similar addon, or have recommendations for others that make your lives easier? Many thanks in advance. <3 Current Mood:  thoughtful |
