Scryll

Pretty much any day works for me.

Horde would still be the good guys. Tauren v gnomes.

We can restart it.

Blizzard must have screwed up our servers something awful to plan on the maintenance lasting 48 hours. Who knows how long AD will be unstable, after. Anyway, since we will not be able to play in our beloved realm on Tuesday or Wednesday, those of us who have no intention of unplugging should organize an alternate server to play on. I note that Sentinels isn't on the list, and would suggest we move over there during the downtime, since a number of us already have Alliance-side characters there in a guild that Molox kindly made for us.

I can probably handle one, maybe two days a week set aside for late night-grouping. Don't think I'd want to do more than that, I usually try to stop gaming and unplug with a book for the rest of the night by 1am*10pm, my time* And I'd probably end up passing on PvP.

What I saw in the press release didn't thrill me. And the fact that they've already announced expansion 2 is also troublesome. How much time passed before they announced TBC? I don't recall it being only eight months after the initial release. I may have to start considering a different MMO myself, though I have doubts it'll be Warhammer. A pvp-centric game is not likely to thrill me.

well.. yeah.. but it's 6pm my time, was what I meant.. I might start working 9 - 5 on wednesdays instead of 10 - 7... will let ya know in the next couple days, if you still have a healer spot open. Time zone kills me, too. Granted, the evidence I just got from ducking into the WW Mags raid for 5 minutes demonstrated I'd probably have insurmountable system problems anyway, but I'm West Coast. I can't be reliably online and ready to raid at 4 in the afternoon my time, not during the week.

I went ahead and looked for alternatives... and it appears you're right, that's the one. Only thing better in the stuff we're running or could be running right now is off Julianne, and who knows when we'll see that.

We were all like "where did our Kytae go?" It s'okay, Ky. I'm starting to think we really should consider finding you a different robe to hunt for, though

Heretofore, I think, you had to manually bless pets. Greater Blessings didn't extend to them.

::smacks Oriah:: Dude, you didn't mention that the AQ recipes were being added as faction rewards the way the Old-world flasks were at BC release.

Don't think I'm open for a mid-evening committment *my time* tomorrow, but I should be free at any other point this week.

Ah, the *zin. I used to run into them in AV during Scryll's old grind.

Is there anyone around who would be willing to trade spellcloth for the product of either of my other timers, shadowcloth or primal mooncloth?

Haven't heard a thing from or about him, which is ~ what I expect for when he's wearing his Commissioner *or whatever it is* hat.

Agility adds parry rating? I didn't know that. It can't add all that much.

I don't know if you're still looking for someone tanky, Rae, but I just saw Blacktusk on the Realm forum saying he's looking for a Kara run for him to tank with Tithegha.

This has come up before, so I thought I'd do something more involved than previously. I'm not much of a number-cruncher myself, but I have an excellent spreadsheet for modelling sustained rogue DPS, developed by one of the better number-crunchers on the rogue forums, Kalman and most recently maintained by another, PF. Here I'm using it to model mutilate, combat daggers, combat fists, and combat swords *this is going to be inaccurate, people are still trying to figure out the modelling for the sword-spec since the recent patch changed it significantly* raiding builds. I'll be presenting several different gear sets for each, building mostly on the tier sets for convenience purposes, and will assume only raid-wide buffs besides the shaman group buffs. Combat daggers 15/41/5. Dungeon set, with windfury: 929.25 sustained dps. Dungeon set with GoA and poison: 947.14 sustained dps. Tier 4 set with windfury: 961.93 sustained dps Tier 4 set with GoA/poison: 971.78 sustained dps Tier 5 set with windfury: 1105.44 sustained dps Tier 5 set with GoA/poison: 1118.73 sustained dps Combat Swords 17/44/0 Dungeon set with windfury: 907.77 sustained dps Dungeon set with GoA/poison: 908.81 sustained dps Tier 4 set with Windfury: 948.40 sustained dps Tier 4 set with GoA/poison: 933.49 sustained dps Tier 5 set with Windfury: 1123.96 sustained dps Tier 5 set with GoA/poison: 1105.72 sustained dps Combat Fists 17/44/0 Dungeon set with windfury: 917.30 sustained dps Dungeon set with GoA/poison: 911.75 sustained dps Tier 4 set with Windfury: 946.77 sustained dps Tier 4 set with GoA/poison: 934.83 sustained dps Tier 5 set with Windfury: 1137.42 sustained dps Tier 5 set with GoA/poison: 1117.16 sustained dps Mutilate Dungeon set with windfury: 869.61 Dungeon set with GoA/poison: 901.99 Tier 4 set with Windfury: 938.21 Tier 4 set with GoA/poison: 966.71 Tier 5 set with Windfury: 1058.07 Tier 5 set with GoA/poison: 1078.71

I'd like to add that Scryll just picked up the recipe for the coveted Haste potion.

We'll miss you Gorrin, you grumpy ######!

::holds a dagget to Bar's back:: But you do miss ZG, right? Right?

The differences resilience introduces to PvP hadn't even occurred to me. I have no idea how to factor that into the math.

So they changed Earthbind back? At the same time as they were fixing the Frost-trap effect so it stopped doing that? You sure this was an intended change?

What Kailand said. Because it resets after every crit, it's Effective +Crit Rating for people who have high crit is much lower than it would appear. It'll certainly be lower than for Bladefist's Breadth or the Hourglass.

It's ok, Harne *even though I wasn't actually on that run* Tanks falling asleep at their keyboard is a cherished tradition in our Clan.
