To add to this, the best place to level ranged weapon skills is off of Dr. Doom. Just sits there, doesn't fight back, and has an utterly ridiculous amount of life. I actually managed to kill him leveling my hunter's gun skill.
Dr boom. And yeah, he's awesome. I levelled bows skill from 20, or whatever it was when I got my first gun, up to max on him. I just clicked auto shot and walked away from the computer.
Apparently not an applicable tactic on PvP servers...

Especially Alliance. Last I heard, it was 3 horde to an alliance on jubei. Sucks ass.

Well, probably not a good idea on either faction. That close to Area 52, you stand in one place long enough and you're bound to get noticed by someone.

man my rogue is so much fun.. I like playing my level 23 rogue more than my t5 warlock atm :x
Heh, I've got a 23 rogue on the PTR right now. I've been having a lot of fun with him, although there are very few other low level players on there. I figure someone's gotta test the new levelling stuff!
I'm sure that sometimes, lag is certainly just an excuse if the player is embarrassed to admit they had made a mistake. With that being said though, depending on the situation a second or two of lag when healing can be devastating and as a result more easily noticeable that, at the very least "something undesirable happened".
A dps class lagging for a second or two, in most cases will go unnoticed.
I've thought about it further and have discussed the matter with class designers. For Wrath of the Lich King, the 51-point talent for all class healing trees with be:
External Problematic Healing Prowess
Reduces the chance to lag while healing by 50% and also reduces the duration of lag by 30%.
It's about goddamn time. The lag mechanic is such a cheap way to make the game artificially more difficult for healers.

Anyone on the PTR able to tell me the cost of the new BoJ warrior sets, preferably the DPS one? I wanna start whoring badges before the patch comes out.
Speaking of new leveling stuff, did they increase the amount of xp you get for quests?
What I understand is this: from levels 20-60, the total experience needed for each level has been reduced by 15%.
From levels 30 to 60, the amount of XP gained from quests has been increased by 15%.
If I make it to level 60 on the test realm, I'll try to compare the length of time it took with one of my real 60s. I think my last 60 character took about 9-10 days of /played time.

The game keeps freezing up on me. The mouse still works but everything else is frozen (though the ambient sound and occasionally the sound effects play) and I have to reset my computer to start again.
In better news, after having three of the Storms cards drop for me while farming primals, I bought two more off the AH for 30g apiece and figured I could get the others over time, too.
Turns out the ones I am missing only drop in instances. Damnit!
EDIT: Also, I got a Chestguard of the Dark Stalker off sum elementelz in Skettis. I think this is the first BoE rare/epic I've gotten so far that I've seen actually sell.

5th time freezing now. I can't even get to my corpse because the game keeps freezing.

365 for the whole thing:
75 for the helm and pants
60 for the hands, belt, and shoulders
35 for the wrist
Thanks! Just 341 badges to go!
Wait, what are these Badge of Justice sets? Is there a link showing what all they are?

In other news, I'm going to end up fucking stabbing someone at blizzard if they don't quit making sets without matching fucking boots. Shit. I mean it's awesome to have a matching set and then some random ass pink boots to totally make you look like a clown shit on you. But still, matching boots please.
Yes, I realize most tier sets have matching boots that aren't part of the "set" that you can find in the same dungeons, but there are some sets without matching boots, or the boots are otherwise already out of the game (looking at you S1) or are frustrating as shit to get

everyone telling me unless I geared to the teeth, specced Combat Swords, and joined a hardcore guild I would not see the end-game content was right
so fucking right
If it makes you feel better, it looks like Blizzard really is trying to break Rogues out of Combat Swords/Daggers into other options. Hemo got another buff on the PTR, to be 125% weapon damage + the buffed debuff. I don't know if it's enough to make it the raiding flavor of the month, but at the very least it should reduce the gap between Hemo and Combat Swords.
And keep in mind the MMO idea of Mudflation. Over time, players and gear get buffed more then they get nerfed with the inverse being true for NPCs. Content that was almost impossible becomes merely hard, then Hard, then not hard. Look at Shattered Halls. When people first hit 70...it was considered insanely hard. And then people got used to it, did some other heroics and then it was just hard. It got nerfed to be more rogue friendly (who thought AoE chain cleaves wasn't going to fuck every melee?) and then nerfed again. Now the heroic verison is merely hard.
The same applies to Kara, and it applied to UBRS and MC in the old world. Just because you aren't killing Illidan now doesn't mean you won't stab him at some point.
Oh wow. I need to make it so whenever I use volley, the vent bind that sounds like a sprinkler goes off. fft fft fft fft fft fft fft fft shhwwooa shhwwooa shhwwooa.
This is the only game that's ever frozen on me. It runs great (75 FPS) but then POOF it just stops working. It was working great last night, too.
Check to see if the background downloader is running while you are playing. It might even be worth it for you to check the WoW community technical support forum. There is a chance others are having the same problem and they know of a fix.

Haha. When I was prot I did 19 runs of H Mech for the Sun Eater and never got it. I go there once as fury and the fucker drops! Thankfully the tank knew what it meant to me, and was already decked out in t5, so she let me have it.

The only time it dropped I was invited to this guild's run {I was the only one not in it} events transpired and I was asked to DE it and give the shards to the tank

So blizzard still hasn't gotten around to fixing enchants so that they are level based.
They made outland enchants require level 35, but they didn't do anything retroactive with it, those twinks have been around that long.
Except the leg patches, those can still be a put on a level 1 piece of armor if you were so inclined, yet the +8 stam ones require level 60.

pugging as a rogue is like shitting a porcupine. You pretty much have to have an instance active guild to have any hope at going anywhere.
