I decided to re-subscribe and just level since I haven't done any Cataclysm questing since it was released.

Any good tips for Hunter? Read some places that beast mastery is the best for leveling.

Beast Mastery + glyph of misdirection makes leveling a joke on hunters.
Tame a turtle and you are pretty much set.

[ventnor]

don't level as beast mastery on your hunter, it used to be so very good because you could solo everything with low risk. However nowadays it's better to just go MM and oneshot mobs with Aimed Shot.

You don't even get MD until level 75, let alone the price of it if he's low level.

The point of leveling is to familiarize yourself with the class.

How uncanny, I also have an 83 mage on Silvermoon.
Too bad Silvermoon is useless at pugging if you don't have progress to begin with.

We should both level up to 85, and start a guild.

What's a good server to transfer to?

just be honest? literally get on a macro "Just so you know, I don't have the achivement but I know what I'm doing, I decided to make the group because I'm sick of scrubs rejecting me", or similar. if anything you'll find out the people who are in your boat and will stay, if they leave, chances are they got carried to their achivement anyway.

Yeah it happens in all realms, people wont join or take you.
I wouldnt, I set up pugs all the time. and i get idiots all the time.

[zerotwelve]

I might have to try setting one up myself some time, but I'll have to do some intense scrub checks beforehand.

I always went by the method of them coming to me and poking me. That way I can inspect them there and then as opposed to just taking their word for it and so on. You could use the armory but they may have been logged in for an extended period of time and upgraded their items, you know?

the only way youll get decent players is by giving them an application form and asking for WoL parses

nah too much effort. we're talking decent, not keen.

[Staneh]

We should just all join one realm, and make a big facepunch guild, and raid.

[Chirno]

i dont want to raid with bads

[Staneh]

Who says we are all bad.

[Chirno]

i was mostly referring to you

[Staneh]

Wow, rude.
No but I've raided every single expansion, except some of Cata, and I don't think shit got alot harder (Except the heroic shit).

[Chirno]

doing old content in new expansions doesnt count as raiding

Yo bro try doing M'uru pre nerf! That was fucking hard, people that raid in cata have it so easy as even some of the HC stuff is lol worthy.

we've tried it plenty of times, one ran for a while but finally disbanded last year some time if I remember correctly

the one on vashj was the only decent one

My main is on vashj now.
The server's practically dead, and it's impossible to find a good guild.

Heya, guys. What exactly would a Mage gem for in terms of PvP and whatnot? Is it the same as PvE, or what?

are you like sifting through the old forums trying to find the literal dumbest things you can post. an FP guild NEVER works and the only time it did fell apart a while ago

Started playing WoW a few days ago (again) with a group of friends from school.
One of them is 85 already, and then the rest of them are in their 60s.
I just hit 50 last night, reason why they level so fast? They get home almost two hours earlier than I do, and I've spent 95% of the time I haven't spent playing WoW, with my girlfriend.
Creates a perfect balance, no?
Just wondering why this game is so addictive.

[parket]

the same reason any other game, it's played by a retard with no self control

that is decent, any retard can gem and enchant their gear and hell there's addons that reforge your gear for you

Whomever was wondering if Scrolls of Resurrection were coming back:

4.3.3 patch notes posted:

Modified code and content support for the Scroll of Resurrection system.

Pretty much confirms it.

[parket]

so........ spine down and got the gloves + a ranking as holy, never been so happy to see something die

[zerotwelve]

we only just got spine down on normal last night... seriously considering a guild change, I'm currently the "best" resto shaman in our guild but they keep choosing somebody else over me because of my lack of experience

i don't understand some people

[m3m0d]

Saddening how I have been trying to gear up my warrior tank and yet it's only item level is 387 while my Druid tank, which I do not care for and I just pug with is item level 394. Curse you RNG.
