Okay, wow. This is definitely my new favorite thing from 4.2:
Flintlocke's Woodchucker
Requires Level 80
Item Level 85
Use: Attaches a permanent device to a bow or gun that sometimes launches a rabid critter, dealing additional damage to the target and increasing your Agility by 300 for 10 sec.
Attaching this scope to a ranged weapon causes it to become soulbound.
"'slike a wee angry bullet wit' teeth, son."
Sell Price: 2 50
Damn you hunters! Where is my throwing weapon equivalent!?! I want to chuck rabid animals at Ragnaros!
Well, considering how ridonculous the Druid 4set is, I'm pretty sure these are going to be modified before going live.
As it is, Blizzard's refusal to budge on Lightwell reminds me of some of the Development dialogues from Magic: The Gathering (Mark Rosewater, specifically) wherein the lead developer there discusses how sometimes, even if you really like a mechanic, think its flavorful, good for the game, and enjoyable--that doesn't matter if the playerbase just refuses to play with it.
Our raid group has done a fairly decent job of learning to use the Lightwell and eat their Heathstones, but I'm not to sure what to think about a "Cauterizing Flame" modeled Lightwell. Especially in an entire instance filled with fire. "Hey click on the fire for health! No not that fire, that's the hurty fire! Oh F it just wipe."
So the Shadow 2 piece is a cooldown on Shadowfiend... 2 & 2 piece maybe?

I wonder if that crazy dryad in Hyjal that does all the baby talk gives this to you >.>
Did they hotfix Jindo or something? Seems like he was taking forever to get into p2 today. Though, it could have been the elemental shaman we had with us rocking 5k dps.
Oh, the datamined Priest 4 piece is hilarious: You have a chance when you cast a helpful spell to summon a Cauterizing Flame. Friendly raid and party members can use the Cauterizing Flame to be instantly healed for 4625 to 5375. Lasts for 45 sec sec or 10 charges. After using the Cauterizing Flame, players cannot benefit from it again for 10 sec.
It's already being called "Firewell" on the Priest forums.

Also I am not sure if we just have priests that arent trying to be "funny" or whatever but we rarely have issues with lightwell. It actually helps us out tremendously.... again I gues its just user error.

Sweet, a new tiny, obscured thing to never click!
Also, it's likely going to be red-orange in a very red-orange raiding tier. Should be fun!

Sufficient quantities of user error suggest development (not design; development) error.

Cause I can tell you TONS and TONS of people never use those either.
Lightwell is pretty damn good the way it is now. It's just that, like any other ability that depends on the other person to do something with it, some people just don't use it.
The only time I have ever regularly used healthstones was when I was a raiding tank. Even then, it seemed like half the time I would click the button only to realize our warlock wasn't in the raid and I was wasting a GCD on an error message.

There is always an inherent issue with forgetting to use things you need to use manually. You could argue the game doesn't sufficiently teach players to use these things or whatever, but that's besides the point.
It's an entirely different matter when a player *wants* to use one of these items and is obstructed by things like hitboxes and camera angles (or even just trying to *find* the thing). I still call that a design issue. One it is probably too late to change without reworking the ability *entirely*, but still a design issue.

Try tanking something like Heroic Halfus and switching which mobs you are tanking and the like. Lightwells are easy compared to stuff like that. (Hence why I have targeting macros)

Not necessarily the problem in this case, but any caster's dps can be completely screwed if the tank just lets jin'do sit inside the AMZ bubbles.
If the lightwell is under the boss, then it's not being placed correctly.
This is mostly about pushing off role responsibility to other roles. DPSers like to dps, since that's how their performance is judged. The healer's job is to keep people alive, and making dps click things is just "wrong."
hyperbole aside, DPS already have a lot to think about: threat management, avoiding damage, correctly dpsing during a phase... adding in health management is sometimes too much. They made clicking the lightwell easy, but speaking as someone who regularly plays all 3 roles, it's hard to focus on so much at once. If I'm not healing, I don't always look at my health bar.
So while lightwell is nice, and I like using it, I'm not sad when my healer is a druid paly or shaman. It's just one less thing I have to focus on.

So the Shadow 2 piece is a cooldown on Shadowfiend... 2 & 2 piece maybe?
I'm hoping Cauterizing Flame turns out to be more like the mage flame orb than another ground clutter. But I 100% agree that it immediately made me contemplate a 2/2 split of the tier pieces.
Oh man, I remember one time back in Kara, I had to do nothing but auto-attack on my Rogue or I'd pull aggro off this one tank. I don't know why though, because other people were able to DPS normally. But seriously, 2 ss's and I'd be passing the tank in threat.

There was a DPS meter mod back in the day, I think it began with a C, that had a "minimized" mode where when you minimized it, it just showed your DPS.
I ran it side by side with recount for a few attempts and it's just as accurate. So if anyone else out there is like me and doesn't give a fuck about the rest of the raid, I recommend this mod.

Man I'm having problems deciding on glyphs for my destruction warlock. Mostly in regard to the prime glyphs. Imp, Incinerate, Conflagrate, Immolate, Chaos Bolt, Shadowburn... In my heart of hearts I want to believe the choice of the best 3 isn't THAT much more DPS gain over any other combination (well, except where Shadowburn is concerned).

I've never hated Henroid's stories, I have friends who played on Moon Guard.
Tonight was mostly same-same kinda stuff. Rumors spread temporarily about this dude named Rigsby faction-changing to Horde, which were dispelled when he came into Goldshire with his usual "YIFF YIFF " greeting. Also some dude kept rolling into the server with a character named Mexican, and was generally being stereotypical but was mostly ignored.
And someone is asking for people to join a "college RP" which is a new one on me.
Edit - Rigsby is pretty much the most recognizable name I've seen here yet. Sometimes I see other names that I think I see night-to-night, and I'm talking about people who actually talk in general. But that motherfucker is always on every night. He also has a macro that displays a dog face in text in /s.

There's very little wiggle room on prime glyphs as destruction.
you will be picking Immolate and conflagrate as mandatory because the two are pretty symbiotic. You'll most likely be picking the Imp as your third because you spend so many points buffing him up anyway that not using that glyph would almost be a waste. I treat it less like a pet and more like a really strong DOT that talks sometimes.

It can still be an issue. DPS, especially well geared ones, do have to watch their threat at the start.
