How to Shamble in the Clysm
You like raids, yes? Well we got raids. Here are a few things that you need to do if you want to Shamble Raid.
- Download and install MilkGlass!
- Download and install Ventrilo. You don't need to have a mic, but you do need to be able to, and know how to listen.
- Download an up to date version of Deadly Boss Mods.
- Know your class. The Elitist Jerks Forums generally have good information for every class, so give some of their information a read through. You can also ask in guild and people will try to help.
- Have your gear properly gemmed and enchanted. Yes this costs gold. Tough shit, do it anyway. Don't be a Moopac.
- Be able to pay attention and think/act/react on your own.
- Have (at least) a rudimentary knowledge of the encounters in which you are about to partake.

Addons you better use if you're not a Feeg
Milkglass (its for butts)
Thats a good number off Addons I suppose, if you don't feel comfortable using all those at the same time or don't think you need to uses some of them thats fine. Start slow, Changing your entire UI in a day can take some getting used to so if you just want to ease yourself in then by all means be a babbie.
HOW I MINE FOR ADDON?!?!
Here I'll tell you how I set up my various Addons just as kind of a reference, If you don't like the way I Set my stuff you can change it to your liking or send a complaint to mirren. I'll also put picture I guess.
Bagnon: just Set it and forget it. It also lets you see whats in the bags of all your characters just by selecting the little portrait of yourself in the corner and switching to another toon.
Button Facade: Add a border to your buttons. Make it so you do have a border. Do what ever you feel is right with your bars. No real set up need, just find the button facade menu in your addons panel and choose which on you want
ClassTimer: I love classtimer, not only does it show any buff or debuff you want on your target, it also does the same for you, your pet, and your focus! I set mine to be just above my bars, and make them stack up in stead of down. To add buffs or debuffs to tracking just go into timers-->extra--> then add the spell you want.
Clique: lets you easily bind stuff to keys or key combos or mouse buttons or key and mouse button combos. The possibilities are endless! Setting your binds is straight forward and clique even has a little tutorial.
Docsdebugrunes: awesome for Dks compact addon that tell you all you need to know bout DK stuff like rune cooldowns duration of the infusion buff on your ghoul, size of the next blood shield if you choose to deathstrike after a hit. Its awesome
Dominos: I love dominos, perhaps my favorite addon, you can do pretty much anything you can think of with your bars and its easy to use.
Here is my set up You might not like they way I have my bars set but this is just an example.
Action Bar 1
Size: 12
Column: 6
Spacing: 13
Padding: 3
Scale: 122
Action Bar 2
Same as above
Action Bar 3
Size: 6
Columns: 6
Spacing: 30
Padding: 1
Scale: 77
Action Bar 4
Same as 3
Bar: 5
Size: 12
Columns: 12
Spacing:4
Padding: 2
Scale:86
Bars 6-10 are unused for but you can do with them what you willThese are numbers are scaled to my monitor so they might be a little different then what you desire but you can fiddle with them till they are right.
Elkanos Buff Bars: My preferred replacement for the blizzard buff icon. Pretty straightforward set up. Just drag it yo where ever you desire, you can add or remove buffs that you want to track through the options menu
Grid: Grid is awesome, I use it as a party/raid frames replacement but its also invaluable for telling who has aggro, who's dying, Who's dead, incoming heals, who has what debuff and a bunch of other junk. Setting up grid is an adventure in and of itself but thats more for healers and I assume they already know what to do. The base version of Grid works just fine as a party/raidframe. Set up can be a bit daunting just because of the sheer number of menus and sub menus but its pretty simple to set up once you get past them.
Omen3: Aggro meter. Useful for tanks and DPS who don't want to pull aggro and die like chumps (Revash). Pretty much set and forget unless you want to tweak the visuals. I personally have it set to transparent along with recount.
Recount: Dps meter to show how bad you are, why are you so bad, do 2k more dps.
SexyMap: Map mod lets you put all kinds of pretty borders and shit around your map. Also allows you to move it away from the top corner postion. I use the simple square preset because I don't like a lot of bullshit around my map. Maps are serious goddamn business and anyone who tells you otherwise is a communist sympathizer
SLData Text: This is a replacement for the regular menu bar, the one that shows your latency and all that other junk you hardly ever look at. To get to the config for this you have to type /sldt.Tidy Plates and Tidy Plates: Threat Plates: the semicoloning pt 2 race to shoe mountain: Name plate mod that rules. They aren't as useless as the blizzard ones. They show who has aggro on what how much aggro, cast bars and other life saving tips.
ToolTip on mouse: it puts the tool tips on your cursor.
Deadly boss mods: Derp
Xperl: A UnitFrame mod that lets you change and move all the unit frames ever. I have mine set to not show party or raid frames because I use Grid for that. To navigate to the config menu just type /xperl and away you go.
Once you set up all your addons and stuff you might have a cool UI like this or a horrible abomination, Who knows?

KR zullies, UR ticks, and ML mines still bolster like the fuckers they are.Winning on defense takes like 40 minutes even if you knock down all 3 south towers. It's like a worse version of IoC.
It was fun for a very brief period of time.
I've decided the reasons I hate it in order
1. Defense wins take forever even if you're stomping
2. Defending is really really easy???
3. No way to quickly tell at a glance whose siege is where. Would it have been so hard to color code them rather than making all siege grey on the map
4. Capturing locations is entirely a factor of # of people. You dont have to interact with the flag or even kill the enemy team. Just show up with more people and you automatically win. This goes against everything I like about bg's.
5. Siege stuff is really strong at the moment, catapults in particular completely lock down an area with their huge blight damage and flamethrowers
6. Addendum to 5: defense automatically gets 8 catapults that you can only get rid of if you're ass-deep inside their base already which means youve already won the game so its pointless to do so.
7. There are no reinforcements for either team which means the winning strategy is to throw yourself bodily at the enemy siege over and over without any thought or concern because if they have no siege they lose and you cant cost your team the game with your 25 deaths
I'd love if they nerfed siege, made it easier to tell who had what, changed the flags to be like every other BG location, and then probably made defending harder.
Defending became nearly impossible to do / wasn't worth it by the end of wrath.
And no it's not a great design. There's a reason why they discontinued the Strand of the Ancients BG, that whole siege engine to the base mechanic is a load of horseshit.
Nah IoC has actual flags you gotta interact with. Though, that might not have always been a thing. Which means strategies like sending a small group to delay the entire enemy team going for hangar is viable (and fun). It's actually one of my favorite things, because I play a tank, and a paladin at that, I can often deny an enemy team a flag capture for a very long time even when outnumbered greatly. I think its the best possible use of time for a tank in most BG's actually. They're amazing at calling incs and defending flags from 5+ people until help arrives. Wintergrasp denies me this opportunity because if im outnumbered im automatically losing the base.
They may have changed it then, because its definitely flags now.
Interestingly, eye of the storm is still # of players, BUT, if you do it as a rated BG it has flags that need to be interacted with instead. I think this makes it the only BG whose objectives change when you go from random to rated?
looks like they're doing a free weekend thing, along with a sale on BFA. I wonder if the sub numbers are really dire.
Eh, I don’t think it’s as much of a case that sub numbers being low. They probably realized, like any good drug dealer, that if you give people a free taste a few are going to bite.
I think since companies have been doing "free weekends" on Steam the common consensus is that they are A Good Thing. This decision doesn't mean the sky is falling, don't be a WoW official forums poster.
I hope there’s a hide gloves too
Way to try to cover your tracks, Chicken Little, drama llama.
If they let me be fury with 1 handers transmogged I will never look back. NEVER
Love watching the wow arenas every week and its 25k people watching and chat spamming how dead the game is
I have too much free time why would you spend it like that
They will probably just do another level squish, but I was thinking about it and I think they could work things out to let you level faster, but also make it slightly worthwhile.
I’d like to see them string together a bunch of quests, using as many existing quests as possible, that would more or less tell the main story of a particular expansion and through it or just at the end of the chain just spit you out of that zone at the necessary level to move on to the next expansion.
That way they could gate it to however much time they want and players would get some taste of the whole expansion, but also move through the leveling process at an enjoyable pace.
They could still leave all the old quests in, that way people who like to grind things out and experience every story point in a zone still could.
Take Nathanos's, too, while you're at it.
On the ferry ride back, make sure you listen to I'm on a Boat by Lonely Island. I'm sure the ferry crew would appreciate it if you played it very loudly as I'm sure they've never heard it.
