    I can confirm that int still helps tremendously when raising weapon skills, at least as of a couple months ago. From personal testing, going from ~45 to 2-300 int increases the rate at which you increase weapon skills by 500% or more.

    So I see a Naxx 25 Kt/Sapph only pug, and I think, hey awesome, a chance to get Turning Tide, replace this shitty Firesoul.

    And then Turning Tide drops!

    And then the RL gives it to a DK, 'because he rolled highest.'

    ....what the hell is the DK going to do with it?
    Did you whisper him saying you'll give him x amount of gold above what he'd get for vendoring it?
    Or did he roll it for a guildie?

    Start?
    Related on the stupid hunting thing, but not a seething rage that would out burn that of a million suns:
    Pug ToC Heroic on my mage. I'm in org doing auctions and what not, and I see "summons inc." in chat. Cool, I go to the mailbox to pick up my shit and still see nothing. Eventually I get a summon, after a few questions asked and a general crazy concern over where these "STICKS I NEED TO MOUNT", are located.
    We get inside, clear the mount stuff, and about to engage the 3 dudes. Tank pulls dudes and they bug.
    5 minutes later (Tank went afk or outside or ???), we try part 2. Tank says focus down skull, so we do. Ret pally dies in whirlwind after a bit, and then I notice that the lock isn't on skull.
    We wipe.
    Tank ragequits, group falls apart.
    Walk outside, about to teleport back to org and finish auctions when I see "LFdps for H ToC last boss."
    Figure I'd join and just get the one badge I need and last boss has most of the loot I want anyways.
    Walk in, accept the save and wait for everyone else to come in.
    Healer is apparently saved but didn't realize it. (Reset was 3 hours ago)
    So now I'm saved to this group, and I tell tank to put us in lfg.

    He doesn't know how.
    So after that I logged off, because that's too much stupid in too little of time.

    I pug alot. Not on during normal hours, have a few friends that I like to run with, but I mostly pug. Usually dont have too terrible of an experience.

    Although this could also be that I'm most likely tanking said heroics, and I'm able to overlook dps's stupidity.

    It's not uncommon to have 399/400 in a weapon skill for ages, it takes forever to get that last %@*!ing point.

    We did a Zul'Aman run for the lulz a while back. I got my Jin'Rohk from the bank just for the hell of it. I had 399/400 at the start and didn't get 400 until on Malacrass.

    Blizzard does a horrible job of explaining to DKs that Spellpower isn't used when determining the damage from their spells. Everytime I see a DK running around in Spellpower gear I cringe a little.

    Honestly, I didn't see that coming either. Mostly because
    Bolvar died after LK left the Wrathgate. Still though, the Lich King being what he is, I suppose he could grab Bolvar's soul as it passed through to whatever the Warcraft afterlife is.

    Also, fuck yeah Saurfang.

    I've always figured that the fact that every single piece of gear in the Death Knight's personally tailored starting zone has melee stats was more than enough indication of what to look for.

    Also, y'know, the fact that they're plate wearers who use 2-handed melee weapons and not staves, daggers, or shields.

    re: spoilers
    The lich king has shown that he has the ability to raise the dead pretty much anywhere in Northrend, and has the ability to teleport. I don't doubt he had the ability to grab Bolvar and rez him in the Citadel.

    On Saurfang
    I have this deep worry that the event that turns Garrosh around is going to be Saurfang's death in Icecrown, either because of the airship battle or when he encounters his son

    Those of you who have done all the Hallow's End achievements, how long did they take approximately? Were there any stupid random based ones (eg those damn Valentine Candies)? I'm just curious as its the last event for my Violet and I'm going out of town next Thursday night. Wanted to make sure I had enough time to do everything.

    The only chance-based ones are: Getting one mask in a treat bag, getting the pet and the helm and getting transformed by every kind of wand. That last part is probably easy if you have a big guild/pay money to randoms. Pet and helm can drop or come from treat bags.

    /edit: Trick or Treating is annoying, but at least it's not random, just time consuming.

    I seem to remember the sinister calling one (helm and pet) being the worst, though I also remember a lot of grumbling over the G.N.E.R.D. Rage achievement too (thought last time was before WG was around).

    The Check Your Head Achievement can also be rough depending on server demographics.

    The plate helmet, the mount and a sword are his rare drops. He always drops one of the rings. He can also drop a broom, the pet and the cloth helmet that are needed for the achievement.
