    That was our goal, but ultimately we only got up to 7 with 5 being engineers. It wasn't quite enough. The door has just about 9,500 HP, and each bomb deals 1,250 damage. Saronite bombs deal 50 siege damage, and sapper charges deal 250.

    Wait, I must have missed it. They put siege damage back on engineering bombs?

    I remembered when they took it off because of the bug with Lich King.

    Adore: Took my level 16 rogue and my wife's level 9 mage and we just absolutely destroyed Ragefire Chasm with two characters. We each got about 3 levels out of the place. Only wiped once due to somehow getting seven baddies at once. Lifeblood + Recuperate + Heavy Silk bandages and buff food = severely awesome stomping of dungeons.

    I have seven heirlooms, and she has none. We need to fix that.

    For the sunday contest, fish on the troll island (where you can gain rep from delivering ZG tokens). At least on my PvP server nobody goes there. You can just run around the shore of that island. There are always 2 - 3 fish schools up. (or hire your guild which place themself on fish schools which are farmed by players of your own faction and let them harrass the enemy faction :mrgreen: )

    Abhor: Tanking Old Kingdom on my pally last night with a ele shaman that was constantly pulling extra mobs, talking about how awesome his DPS was (Yeah, it was good, but nothing amazing), taking aggro, using T-Storm to knock my grouped up mobs all over the place. I finally tell him, politely, he can tank anything he pulls from now on. So of course, he pulls a pack, dies, and starts yelling at the healer. I put up a vote to kick him, it passes, and the healer says "Why'd you do that, dumbass? He was top DPS." and leaves.

    Adore: S.Priest stepped up and healed the rest of the instance, way to go man =)

    Abhor: That the bug around buying stacks of things from vendors for tokens is still at large, apparently. Took the pre-Cata lull as an excuse to actually level my secondary professions: First Aid - trivial. Fishing - tedious, but not a bad thing to do while listening to podcasts and such. Cooking - fine up to 400, but now that trying to buy Northern Spices just results in an internal bag error, progress has slowed dramatically.

    what does council do in BT?

    The Council are linked for their health, as you know. Best thing to do is kill the Paladin, kite him around while people interrupt the priests heals. The Problem? People are stupid.

    I think he was referring to The Dude With Herpes' post about the Council being bugged.

    Curious, I looked it up and found this from the official WoW Forums:
    I'm not sure if I'm repeating someone else, but I think I figured out why it is bugged.

    I noticed when we pulled they didn't have identical HP pools. Veras actually had about 300,000 more HP than the other 3, who were all identical. Sadly, they gained regenerated astronomically fast.

    After reading all this, we went to pull again, and this they all had identical health pools and the bug didn't occur. I'm theorizing that the damage is distributed between them all correctly, but the different health pool causes the game to "think" that they need to heal the bosses up to Veras's or whomever's level of health.

    I might be wrong though. Goodluck.

    It seems that many can't even drop the Council's health below 98%. Once poster noted that a parse of one of their recent runs showed no healing besides a Circle of Healing from the priest. Their passive regen is completely out of whack.

    EDIT: Copy/pasted the wrong quote, whoops.

    Adore 3: Took my relatively fresh 80 Paladin, wearing mostly Prot gear and played as Ret, snagged about 5 nice upgrades, including a pair of Heroic boots & a shiny new 2h axe. Still managed to pull over 7k DPS on single targets in almost full Prot gear. (I geared Prot first and am only now working on a Ret set)

    I was looking at places to buy CD keys (places that just email you the key out of the box instead of shipping etc) and the places I found sold for the keys for ~retail ($20 for vanilla, $20 for BC) for US versions, and half that ($10 US for vanilla, $10 US for BC) for EU keys.

    WotLK and Cataclysm are more closely priced, though.

    Me and a guildie were commenting on that the other day.

    We thought it would be really cool if as they got more powerful, they started causing you to lose control of your character for a few seconds. Then realized what a nightmare that would be if it happened in the middle of a BG.

    Eternal fire are that expensive on your server? After 4.0.1 the market on my server crashed into the ground. Orbs are 10g and eternal fire are 14g. Still a profit but a low one.

    on my horde server, yes. They hover between 25-30. FOr whatever reason lately there are rarely any in the AH so i can get 30 no problem most days. On my alliance server, no, fires are way down there with the orbs in darn near worthlessness.

    I got all excited and logged in to check prices on my server (because I do love making me some virtual currency). Turns out prices are completely backwards on my server. Oh well.

    I've made a fair amount of gold over the years by buying up blue uncut gems for less than their vendor price. Frozen orbs too, before they put in the frozen orb vendor.
