    There's also a mod that fixes the HH problem. Search CogFix on Curse. Apparently it's an issue with single-line tooltips, and it's also affecting things like mage tables. The mod just turns these specific tooltips off, so it doesn't mess with your regular gameplay.

    I'm glad my girlfriend is a healer. We both have the mod, so we just queue and I trigger the HH, and either people help out, or we duo him down. It's so easy now.

    There was some discussion about it on WoWWiki before the move, and the move was done by some of the main admins of WoWWiki.

    I guess wikia decided to disallow custom skins and their new skin breaks a lot of things, and that sort of made moving all the content a really appealing idea?

    WoWWiki moved because Wikida was making ridiculous demands on layout and such. Basically taking up at least half the screen with ads and useless facebook integration. It pissed all the admins there off, so they left (along with many other wikida sites I hear)

    What a great way to instantly remove most of the revenue you're making.

    I imagine wowwiki brought in a metric fuckton of ad revenue. Well, it probably did before they ran ads that exploited flash and everyone blocked them.

    Yeah, in general you get a talent point on odd levels and a skill on evens. But there are some exceptions. If you look at your talents it will say when you get the next point.

    Insane in the Membrane is a feat of strength, not an achievement. Feats are things that you can't be guaranteed to complete, which is why they're feats and not achievements. Most of them are actually now impossible to complete, and this feat will join a long list of "you had to be there" moments in WoW time.

    The feat isn't being removed of course, those who have it will retain it, however; some of the requirements are, so it will no longer be able to be completed by anyone who has not already done so.

    It's possible that in some very specific situations where someone has completed the reputations which are being removed, but not others that will still be in the game, that it can still be completed. But it's something we're waiting for clarity on, and will let you know as soon as we do.

    Looks like if you are still trying to get the insane title, you'd better hurry up. I've heard that Bloodsail Buccaneers and Shen'dralar are being removed, can anyone in beta confirm or deny that?

    Librams is how. Right now librams definitely still work.

    However, some of the components that are needed, such as blood of heroes and abomination stitchings might be hard to get when Cataclysm's content hits.

    Edit: looks you can probably still get that stuff. Still, they took out the goblin prisoner in DM, so who knows what else they have mucked with.

    Yeah my wife and I duod that over the weekend. Tiger you have to kill the two priests at the same time while fighting the boss. He has an annoying knockdown attack that just botheresome and they will heal each other.

    Raptor also has a knockdown and when you kill his mount he'll get an enrage buff. I did it as an arms war and it wasn't too hard though I did have my wifes priest in there in case of oh shit moments.

    Slight correction, only one of them is a Priest, Zealot Lor'Khan. She casts a Great Heal that needs to be interrupted. Zealot Zath is essentially a Rogue.

    If any of them is dead for longer than about 10-15 seconds, one of the others will rez the dead ones back to full health.

    On my tanks that I solo with, my DK and Druid have a Macro for Mind Freeze/Skull Bash so that it always casts on my Focus target if I have one. So I focus her before the fight and I can freely switch to whatever mob has the most health out of the three while still being able to easily interrupt her when she starts casting a heal.

    heh, I do the tiger boss without interrupting at all

    I just keep killing them until they all stay down.

    Personally, the biggest problem is the silence hitting me and then not finishing off one of the guys before one of the other two gets rezzed.

    This, so hard. I would pay cash money for the ability to add more character slots to a server. I think I would even be willing to pay upwards of $10/slot. One-time fee, mind you. None of this +$x/month crap.

    But yeah, I'm looking at taking one of my lower alts (mid 50's) and removing her from my guild, giving her her own guild, just so that I can delete my bank character to make room for a worgen alt. Then I need to figure out who to remove to make room for a shaman, since it and mage are the only classes I haven't leveled. That will likely be my 73 rogue being removed, since I think my worgen will be a rogue. I am not happy about having to come to this decision.

    It's 12 seconds. I know this because I spent 20 minutes trying to get them all down, and always ever so slightly missing the window. The rez spell is uninterrptible, and very annoying. It sucks when you've just killed two, and have the other one almost dead when they start it. And you're trying to burst them down, and just miss them, so they rez their ally and then die, making you have to restart the whole thing over again.

    Oh I know all about that from soloing it on my Prot Pally. The fight lasted quite a bit longer than on my DK tank. I'd just keep switching to the highest health target and slowly whittle them all down until I finished one off, then I'd start going nuts on the other two to try and get them down as soon as I could afterwards. Ugh.
