<title>I miss trash...</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23319617</link>
<description><![CDATA[Never thought i would say this after the atrocities that TBC played on me with trash, but after doing ToC for weeks and weeks i miss trash pulls. I think Ulduar got it right with the trash and i hope that ICC follows the same suit. I liked how the trash was deff hard, but at the same time there were never more than 2-3 of the same kind of mob in a given area. Maybe besides Freya, i really cant wait for some good old trash in ICC.

<title>[ Classes] Warlock Thread</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22818460</link>
<description><![CDATA[So for all us Locks in here. We where the most viewed and most posted thread in 3.1 and I want us to have a place to post in 3.2 and beyond.

So due to lag I barely got a chance to play last night but was wondering if any of you that did play notice the difference with the few changes we received?

Oh I also noticed that my Intensity staff from Ulduar now has a bright glow around it and my ring enchants are 23 instead of 19 =) ]]></description>

<title>Official Mal&#x27;Ganis Thread</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22988693</link>
<description><![CDATA[My satisfaction with WoW has gone up 10 fold in the last few days for one simple reason: I'm not playing really on my old server. I spend the $55 to faction change & server transfer over to Mal'Ganis. This was mostly to just hang with Archivis and casually play there on my druid.

Why I'm likely going to not be playing my warrior anymore: Gorgonnash sucks. No one pugs anything. You might have one or two Uld pugs per week, and those usually go through a couple bosses and fall apart. Take this in direct contrast to Mal'Ganis where there's always a couple groups going for Naxx10/25, OS10/25, EoE10/25 (Yes, people actually run that instance and pug it. I haven't seen or heard of a guild or pug running EoE on Gorgonnash since January.), VoA10/25 (Horde seem to OWN WG, so this is an almost guaranteed thing... I've gotten >125 marks in the last couple days w/o doing a single WG quest), Uld10/25 and tons of ToC10 groups.

This has raised my satisfaction so much. I have no idea if I can play WoW tomorrow or Wednesday, or Friday. I can't tell anyone "Yeah, I can make it 3x a week for 3 hours to commit to a raid." I can't do it. I don't want to do it and my family comes first. But when I DO have a free afternoon or evening, I can hop on and join in a pug.

If you're like me and might want to raid casually and enjoy more content that you can't get to see on your server, I highly recommend scoping out some of the genuinely High pop/Full pop servers where your faction is dominate. 

This is my armory for the druid. I just got him to 80 on Thursday (or was it Friday?). 1 day 13 hours /played (with at least 6 hours sitting doing nothing in Dalaran, Orgrimmar or Argent Tournament or being 100% AFK)

<title>[ Classes] ATTN Death Knights - Post your spec for critique!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23043717</link>
<description><![CDATA[OK, I am sick and tired of numerous DK threads written by newbies who can't bother to scroll back a couple of pages and see NUMEROUS threads of "hai plz tell me how to do better kthxlolbai."

So.

Death Knights.

Nubs and vets alike.

If you want serious feedback on talent builds, item sets, or rotations. Ask here.

When you post, please tell us what your desired progression is so we don't recommend outlandish recommendations (if you're doing just Naxx or Uld 10 let us know so we don't tell you to go get some 245 gear out of ToC10). That allows us to look at the BiS lists and see if something available to you would be a better choice than what you have.

Also please tell us what you desire to accomplish with a certain build. Is it for PVP? Tanking? Raiding? Did you go with a particular build to provide a raid buff? If you just copied a cookie-cutter spec, that's cool. If you picked a certain talent tree because it matches your playstyle--just let us know that's what you did so we didn't jump all over you (I, for instance, prefer DW frost dps, even though it's lower dps for me than 2H Blood).

Many of us are behind websense. It helps to tell us your UNBUFFED stats (that means no horn of winter, no food/flask/Blessing of Kings buffs; basically what the armory says your stats are at): Strength, Hit, Expertise, Critical Strike, and Attack Power. Also let us know what weapon you are using, since your weapon influences your dps more than anything.

Hopefully this can cut down on the number of "DK help" threads we're seeing pop up. If you could nominate this for a sticky, that'd be great!

<title>Test the new LFG with Blizzard</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23291934</link>
<description><![CDATA[Quote from: Zarhym

Come join the fun on the PTR and instead of getting the PUG blues, you could end up grouped with a blue. Members of the Development Team (including the encounter designers themselves) and the Community Team will be on the PTR to test out the new dungeon system and want you to come join in the fun. Join us tomorrow, November 4 beginning at 4 PM PST.

For a chance to group with us, be sure to use the Dungeon system and choose the "Random Heroic" option. 

[...] To be specific, we'll be queuing using the "Random Heroic" option in the new Dungeon system. If you want a chance to join a group with one of us, you'll need to queue up this way as well. 

[...] All Blizzard employees participating should have the  tag in front of their names. Each employee will be able to pick whatever class, realm, and faction he or she wants. 

[...] In total there should be 30-40 Blizzard developers, producers, and community team members using the Dungeon system for at least an hour."Tomorrow" is of course now today.  :)]]></description>

<title>[ Classes] Arcane Mages</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23291579</link>
<description><![CDATA[Okay. I'm looking for any macro's and what your normal spell rotation is when raiding. I'm a decently geared mage (sitting at 4945 right now) and I'm just not putting out the damage I think I should be. 

In ToC25 I was constant at right about 5k dps. Highest I've gotten so far was in a VoA25 where I was at right under 6k dps the entire time. 

My normal spell rotation goes Arcane Blast (up to 4 times) until Missile Barrage procs  then Arcane Missiles then back to Blast again. Rinse and repeat. If I'm moving I'll shoot an Arcane Barrage as many times as I can before I'm stationary again. 

Server is Mal'Ganis and character name is Muzsc if you want to check out stats/gear that kind of stuff. 

:)

<title>This is why people use gearscore to make groups</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23319942</link>
<description><![CDATA[I personally use gear score to make a pug along with personal player knowledge. For the most part what people dont understand about making a pug is the fact that you dont have 3-5 min per person to get people. When your pugging in trade the most important thing to take into account is speed. Getting to try a raid and getting down 1-2 bosses is always better than letting your lockout rot for the week. IMO the reason people (and me) use gear score is because it shows the potential a player has to do DPS/healing/tankability. It says nothing about player skill. It simply shows that the given player has been through enough content to get that level of gear. Everyone always freaks out about achievement and gearscore spamming in trade. Alot of people wanna link their achievement on their main and then go to their alt and run. There is no way in hell i do that. Healing on a shaman is in no form or fashion comparable to DPSing on a warrior through the raid. If your leading a pug and you take the full 3-5 minutes to interview every player you get then your prolly gonna loose half of the people you started with and eventually end up with 17 people and alot of people pissed off in trade that they cant get in. Then the 17 people get tired of waiting and you just end up wasting an hour of your time. I always follow one rule in pugs that has a pretty good success rate. Bring one more tank, and one more healer than the raid requires and assume that one of the tanks is gonna die. Its always easier to replace a DPS that isnt holding his own and hitting an enrage timer and wiping is 1000 times less detremental to a pugs attitude than just all out wiping. Remember a pug is a living breathing thing that feeds off gear. Feed it, and it will be happy.  

IN CONCLUSION...gearscore shows the POTENTIAL a player has to do well in a raid fast enough for you to make a decision on whether you want to take them or leave them. Nuff said.

<title>Your ideal heroic 5-man class comp!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23314762</link>
<description><![CDATA[Another fun thread I thought I would start while bored at work.

What is your favorite 5 man combination of classes for running heroics?  There is no correct answer as they all work, but your favorite 5. I'll go first.

Tank: Prot Paladin
Healer: Disc Priest
DPS1: Warlock spec doesn't matter
DPS2: Unholy DK 
DPS3: Mage .. 

So you have a paladin for your blessing of choice, disc for fort, warlock for soulstone, summons incase something happens, and candy, a mage for a table and portals after the heroic if you're doing a chain run, it cuts down on time.  I like unholy DK's too, because their AoE DPS is insane in heroics, and of course the 13% magic damage to mages/lock.. so you have 3 DPS that can all AoE very well in situations and all have very hard hitting single target DPS.  Prot paladin really seems like the best 5-man heroic tank, and disc priests are solid healers, if they are bored they can throw in some smites, or give PI to a caster.

:D  

Your turn!]]></description>
