Re: [Cataclysm] LFR/LFD nuttyness

it affects DPS when it pushes back your GCD.

So around 500ms.

100ms will have no noticeable DPS difference.

didnt know ipv6 was available in the states yet, interesting.

Well ISP's haven't widely deployed it but via a tunnel broker I have my own /48

and Blizz has IPv6 addresses for some (if not by now all) servers

if you enable wow to use it then if your server can it'll use it, then if you hover over the computer icon in wow it'll show which you're using.

When I got back to wow a month ago I saw that my server had been made IPv6 enabled where as back in feb when I got on for a little I was still IPv4.

btw in feb I hoped on to try the 64bit client and was hoping the IPv6 was up, and did the scroll of rez to get the mount.

So I am using IPv6 but when using it my data is going out a IPv6 tunnel via hurricane electric and then to the Blizz servers, so if I switch back to IPv4 then it'd just go over comcast's path to the servers.

thus why I'm interested in tracert'ing the IPv6's to blizz's servers to see if I'm getting better routing somehow or if it'll be best to use IPv4 till comcast does its thing. (as far as wow goes) (still gonna use IPv6 for any site that is enabled.)

Did Fall last night for VPs to convert to Conq...53k dps was second to an Arms Warrior that probably had 10+ ilvls on me (I'm 389 in PVE gear). Not too shabby for no PVE action since March.

My sham's name is Drpoopstick, and I was running with my rl best friend on his DK, Drpoopsickle. Recently about 80% of my play time is with him running around terrorizing bads in BGs and trolling noobs in LFR. Well, my buddy won the 2H sword off Madness, next thing I know some Pally is pming me requesting the sword. I ignore him. He continues to spam me, now he is accusing me of hacking (he's realized I'm a Shaman). I drop group and load Orgrimmar. 2 minutes later I get a pm from Drpoopwtf, "wtf man, how u get that sword, #%^* hax! I'm reporting u!".

I reply, "report me, you non-reading fuck. Have fun explaining to the gm that you are illiterate."

/ignore, continue roasting in hell waiting on AC man to hook it up.

Crap the post I typed was lost due to IE messing up

Long story short

LFR fall epic fail.
Noobs wouldn't stop DPS on amalg had to get a 2nd one on 1st plate.

More noob issues, they wouldn't stop AOE on 4th platform (wiped 5+ times)

Finaly everyone else left and I managed to get a healer friend to come in (ok he qued till he got the one I was in so he could help)

Jerks that had just joined tried (and failed) to kick me twice)

for several attempts wow froze on 3rd platform, I blame DBM it had over 100MB of data.

I only managed mid 50K dps (ilvl392), only food buff due to not wanting to waste a flask/pot on LFR.

Dagger dropped lost roll again (its one of only 3 items I want from LFR)

and they 5 healed it due to a DC Healer (though were about to anyway because of a very long wait on healers ie over 25min to fill 3 slots) then healer DC'ed right after it started.

so in all a totaly crap night.

on the upside my priese should ding 47 tommorrow just doing fishing/cooking dailies.

It's possible to keep DoTs rolling on like 4+ targets for a majority of the fight, add in the NPC given buffs and double Blood Lusts and you get some stupid numbers.

I guess I should be putting living bomb on more things

other than that I don't really have any always ready dots, in reg I think I ws over 60k (after all in reg I double potted, flasked, and food buffed)

BTW one thing I was wondering but have been to lazy to look up, is the reason for no AOE on the 4th because the wing doesn't die fast enough because the aspect buffs have fallen off? or is that ability of the blisterings only on the 4th?

I'd assume that the first 3 just die fast enough that its ignorable but that the 4th DPS has lowered because the aspect's buffs aren't all there anymore (or are they I thought I looked and the buffs fell off as you did platforms)

Its LFR. Pull those numbers on 10 man normal

You must be really pro then. My mage is 406 ilvl and I have never done that much and we always have every buff. Or maybe you all did the platforms differently.
