Edit: That's a reference based on thread title, not an insult directed at warlocks.
Kinda NSFW
Go down to Kate Beckinsale and click on the claim.

Shit, when I was leveling my DK, I think hit all of one instance once. Course, this was pre-dungeon finder.
edit: And I will admit, I was terrible even when I got to 80. Somehow, I totally missed that death grip would pull aggro off the tank.
On my blood elf mage I am getting some rather interesting warriors for tanking instances in outland
But I'm starting a rogue for the first time ever and am all sorts of excited/loathing myself since I may well become what I hate most with such a tempting gank monster at my command.
My warrior was leveled via RAF, has plenty of sub-50 gear and only one trinket.
I can't lime this enough.
GT: HitoriLionheart or dailydro
It's too easy to gear up.
The lore sucks.
PUGs are shitty.
All this and more on tired lines of discussion!
(And PvP is awesome, of course.)
MMO-Champion has datamined cosmetic cloak stuff that, as you may have guessed, changes the look but not the actual gear of your cloak. Awesome!
Oh who am I kidding now that LK is dead I only log on for 25mans and holiday achievements.
PvP is the only reason to play the game.
I may need to buy some new bank slots.......
23 frost or a 25 man/10 heroic ICC drop and he has tons of the stuff?
Hows this legit?
That second bullet point is weird. First he's saying the caps are the same, then he's saying you need less expertise.
Is there a table with the dodge/parry chances by level like there is for miss? If so, does anyone have a link handy? I couldn't find anything on EJ/tankspot/wowwiki.
The cap for heroic bosses is 22 expertise, both for dodge and parry. Hence, they're the same. Also, 22 is less than 26/56 which you need for raid bosses.
Oh ok. I thought "the same" as in "the same as for level 83" and not as in "equal to each other". Strange that parry chance jumps so high while dodge doesn't, but I guess it's the same for spell hit/melee hit.
I'm leveling a Dk alt through Outland at the moment, and hitting LFD most of the time. But I like to think I know what I'm doing, as my groups don't die and normally near the end of the instance they say things like "Hey, would you like do another?" or "Please don't leave!" But then I've been tanking since the AQ gates opened so... that might have something to do with it.
I use PVP boots for this reason. Seriously, the ones you can buy for honor are very, VERY close to the stats on the crafted ones.
Speaking of which, I built a tank set so that I could do LFD faster, so that I could get a full set of Triumph PVP gear. That's kind of messed up. I want to BG for my PVP gear, because fuck the arena.
I need some advice. I'm having trouble soloing Maister's Terrace on Heroic. I am using the bloodthirst solo spec. I can do just fine all the way up to the final boss, but he puts up a shield that absorbs 10k damage and starts casting a 40kish pyroblast. I've yet to be able to dps the shield down before he gets his cast off (it's a 4 second cast). I can survive it if I use last stand or shield wall but then I'm just overwhelmed with damage and I can't make it up with bloodthirst.
I was thinking there were a couple of options I have:
1. Wear dps gear. I don't know if this will do it for me because my problem is rage. I can't get any rage to dps the boss and I'm only doing like 1k to 1500 dps on him. Then I have the issue of saving rage for the shield so I can at least attempt to burn it down.
2. Respec into titan's grip then a few prot talents. I could see this working since his melee hits are garbage, and it's just the 5k fire blasts that add up. I've never dpsed as a warrior so I'm not sure if rage will be a problem like it is for me now. My other concern is if I can tank the first part of the instance without the deeper prot talents from the original solo spec.
If anyone has successfully soloed this and has some tips for me, I'd appreciate it.
It's easy. I've soloed it before. Here's what you have to do:
While I haven't done it as a warrior, I have done it as a paladin. My finding was:
1. Early on, prot didn't cut it because while I could bubble through the first pyro, there was always a second. Nowadays I could probably solo him in prot spec and gear, and maybe laugh off the pyro.
2. Ret I could burn through him fast, sometimes before the first pyro.
EDIT: In other words, the best defense against the pyro is to make sure he never gets to pop his shield.
Another two things you'll want to keep in mind:
1. How are you dealing with the phoenixes?
2. How are you going to handle the constant damage in phase 2?
I have done it on my warlock but then it takes me forever and I have to swtich specs and get lucky on the pvp fight
Go in there and hit things until they die.
Also works as a Hunter (bring a turtle).
Will be trying on my Shaman soon.
Can you not spell reflect the pyroblast?
The hardest fight is the 2nd one. That requires basically eating 3 of the sparks and keeping yourself alive with 30K heals. Ret paladins probably have it a bit easier because of their instant heals and no divine plea always up shenanigans.
Thank you sir! This was the kind of pro tip I was hoping to get. That beats gearing up for dps and just obliterating him before he casts it.
