    I've run with one really good boomkin. Unfortunately, that person was also unreliable as hell, so they didn't become a regular. Have yet to see another Boomkin top the meters like that.

    I've topped the meters as a boomkin.

    In 5-mans.

    Because apparently I'm too awesome as a healer to let me boomkin it up in raids.

    Stupid guildies. But, of course, they're right.

    Also, jokes on them as I'm unguilded now. Har-dy-har-har.

    I used to call "Boomkins" "Oomkins".

    Then I saw a geared one in a raid.

    Now I call them "Aggrokins" and just hope we kill the boss before their mediocre (but surprisingly high aggro) dps gets us all killed.

    That said, I don't think we have a raiding Boomkin anymore. They're all trees except the one feral who is a superb tank.

    We had a sole Boomkin in my old guild. He was very well geared for the content we were doing. Did great damage in 5 mans and Kara, but yeah, threat problems. He'd be at the top of the charts up until Prince, and he would languish in the middle/ bottom for Gruul. And that's with being put in the caster buff group o' doom.

    In 5-mans, I have never, ever, ever seen a Boomkin take 5/5 Subtley. Or 4/5, 3/5, 2/5, 1/5, or any other fractional variation thereof.

    They'd rather pull aggro every -- single -- goddamn -- time, and rely on cool-headed enterprising Rogues like moi to keep the mob from biting their head off with mah stunnin'

    Even after. It was more of a "DPS LAWLS" than a lack of threat reduction ability though.

    Back when I used to spec for PvE, I often had 4/5 Subtlety. Couldn't have 5/5 because I needed those points elsewhere. Namely TREESQUAD OF MINOR ANNOYANCE!!!

    It can come in handy. Back when a friend tried to get me back into the game so I could play with him and his g/f I rolled a character (Alliance...*shudder*) on a PvP server. Some bastard (a shaman, around level 56 IIRC) managed to get on top of the roof of Southshore's inn and was sniping lowbies. You couldn't stay in LoS very long as he could move out of the way, but a moonkin arrived and summoned some treants on his ass. They spawned on top of the roof and tore him a new one.

    If you don't use quotes the second link is this article.. If you use quotes the first link is to the Kotaku article which links to the CVG article.
    Insomniac Games said a while back that it was "flattered" that the spherical worlds of Mario Galaxy were inspired by Ratchet and Clank. But Miyamoto says he's never heard of it.

    [...]

    Miyamoto said he was "surprised" by Insomniac's comment. "In terms of the spherical worlds and anti-gravity," he went on to explain, "we had the original idea as soon as we finished the development of Mario 64 and had been experimenting with it for many years, even on the N64."

    "It's not an idea we got from anywhere else," adds Miyamoto, before adding: "I'm sorry but I have to admit that I've never seen the game in question. Is it a PC game?"

    Now that we're doing partial-premade BGs with 5-6 people I'm actually having fun in PVP again.

    Random highlight: me (holy paladin), buddy (disc priest) and random MS warrior guarding our flag in WSG for a bit[1]. Ret paladin + MS warrior try to keel disc priest. Me and him just stand there and heal through it all while the friendly MS warrior kills both pally and warrior. Fun fun.


    [1] We don't believe in this silly "defense" thing, so we're all always on the move toward the enemy flag and/or flag carrier.

    Those kind of posts are frowned upon. I don't think it is a rule yet, but consider this post by Tube:
    I personally went through the thread and infracted anyone who posted purely for the purpose of putting a blue dot on the thread.

    When I first got mine I didn't know that the robots attack each other. So I was running around IF and I see a bunch of rockets swarming at me. I freak out when they blow Roborobert up. I also didn't know they died.
