Sleyvas

meh research is nice but my fury build on my warrior is what all the "warrior gurus " on the forums say not to do .. you give up to much .. i think i do just fine.. what that ramble means ? seal fate for the win. and im out ! true story.

all this combat speak makes me sick !. seal fate ftw!. yes i have a 60 rogue , yes thats her build !.

well the speed of the claw is nice but for majority of rogue builds i think its a sub par weapon. With anything other then a dagger you are much more limited with offensive moves. This im sure you know but the hit you take off your sinister strikes seem to be too great. In fact the only low max dmg main handers id probably take as a rogue is thunderfury/ silithid claw .. and even then. So my advice .. or should i say my opinion on the matter is stick with slower/higher max dmg weapons.. the burst you will receive will help out and since your most likely a combat rogue.. slice and dice along with blade flurry acts as a dps normalizer making up for any lack of crit you might have or slower weapons. combat rogues are all about constant dmg.. your improve speed talents work wonders .. mix that in with a slow mh with high max dmg to abuse the effects of the increased speed can work wonders .. i think your also a troll .. if so you have beserkering .. which is now an extremely viable pve racial for rogues and puts them near the top of the "best rogue class list" if that helps any.

potions ? but then agian those are on cool down *shrug*

not beating her up , i dont question her skill. lets have her MT mag , and lets disable the hunters ctraid as well since that would make her attempt fairly easier as well. You could get away without it just it benefits the group way more if your a uber tank and your aware who has aggro and what spells are happening when they happen.

lol wont use ctraid , that made my day. i could go on in detail how it has helped me as a main tank but i doubt it change anything. good luck.

Now im not gonna tell you HOW you should do something , just ive received many tells asking me for advice. Whether or not you agree with my advice some of this info can help generally when raiding. Raids are 80% mentality. I know what your thinking. Sleyvas !!!!! this is a ###### game !!!. True enough but the person playing the game is not. Stress can be a huge factor and disbelief an even bigger one. Do first, fail later. People bringing a positive attitude about their skills and that of the raids can really help out. THERE IS NO I IN TEAM. Youve heard this growing up throughout your life .. well guess what ? its the same here. Maube may be the best mage on the server and the best healer in the game at the same time but SHE will not win the raid successful encounters( used maube as a example ). Sure core classes of great players can help .. i.e. a really great warrior is usually more benefical then a really great rogue since theres not much depth to the rogues cept .. top the dmg charts ( no offence old wolf *grins). 10 % is gear/spec. Yes yes yes we all want to only dps but the cold truth of the matter is unfortunate. Take 2 druids. Druid a, and druid b. Same gear, and lets assume skill level is on par equally for argruments sake. Druid a = resto specced, druid b not resto. Druid b will heal just as well as druid a cept druid a will have certain advantages. aggro reducer , lower mana costs for heals, greater chance your heals wont be interrupted with dmg, more bang for your buck heal wise. Again , druid b would do just fine .. but druid a will have a slight step on druid b when it comes to healing. Trees are there for a reason. you spec a certain way you will be better at it then someone who doesnt. Expecting to have great dmg in while resto spec is just silly. ( again not saying you SHOULD spec a certain way , just it all helps). gear is key, the better gear you have the less dmg you take from mobs , the harder your spells hit , the less priests need to heal you cause your dying to easy .. the list goes on. Tier 2 sets for a warrior imo are garbage for my spec. I still take them for utility. Gear= win for the raid on all levels. * dont always pass on your sets in other words * you might not do as much dmg but wil help the raid. ill use the rogue bloodfang set. bloodfang is NOT the best for dps. But what it gives you makes up for that lack of dps. what does it give sley ? well its gives you a set bonus for a bonus to your feint. this means that theorhetically you can feint less and use the energy you use from the extra feints you would normally use on dps moves. This set also gives you some nice stam , a live rogue does way more dps then a dead rogue. Specs vary in importance from raid to raid but IF I HAD to say IDEALLY for a raid i would like to have. 2 protection warriors, rest dps spec. 2 resto shamans , rest whatever they want. at least 2/3 ice mages.(also any aggro reducing skills is nice) priests make it really easy if all holy. warlocks whatever spec rogues whatever spec( combat is nice dmg but other then that no big deal ) druids can do whatever you want but resto makes the raid life easier( this is the same for priests, sure shadow priests can heal .. but would you want a raid full shadow priests im sure theres some of you that raid now know exactly what im talking about. Same rule applys for druids, resto= for raiding life. but IF YOU must be something else .. *shrug just make sure you pick up your sets b4 the feral gear . hunters any spec( max range and true shot help alot) again i would take any spec i dont make my choices for raids for spec just it can help a raid alot. Other 10 % about raids is preparation. We are a rp guild *agreed*, but if you want to do the big boy raids , treat them just like that. YOU MUST have ct raid, and ts. This is no way interferes with RP. Just makes raid like extremely easy , and if your one of the few that refuses to get it your just stubborn.. dont raid. Show up 30 mins early , EVERYTIME. Order is nice some times it acts as motivation at times. Bring bandages, Reagents are like candy .. if you dont have enough for all dont bring any. always have 5 mana and health potions when you enter bwl/mc/OL. Know your job. You would be amazed to as how many people ive met that months after theyve killed a certain boss 100s of times they still are abit lost. leave your pride at the door , ask questions. Ive raided for a long time and till this day i still ask questions. If anyone makes fun of me for it oh well its just a game . Class channels. Pick a "class leader" and open up a channel JUST for your class. Helps alot. People can discuss, learn and have their own fun convo on the side. and at the end of this the number one thing to do is HAVE FUN. Yes i know this post makes it look like no fun but its simple. MC and bwl are a joke. All it takes is people willing to listen , ajust and have fun. You spec for pvp to do the most dmg .. the same thing follows suit for pve. You spec for it , gear for it . prepare for it .. you "roll" a boss like you would in pvp .. end result fun ! . Feel free to message me in game should you ever have any questions or you just want to talk , theres no boss pre aq 40 i havent faced and i know many ways to kill each of them. IM here to help not dictate. I do have my own methods but im a fun and down to earth guy , dont be shy .

agreed , just was saying ps : stop using being blond and polish as a crutch!!!! *grins

6 pm server time moldar is leading a onyxia raid , this wont get in the way of your thursday onyxias so sign up !!!!> go post on the winter wolf forums > we need healers .

Druids are not a support class ? you know i thought it was clear but obviously not. MANY RAIDS i have lead i tend to let feral druids dps , shadow priests dps , along with shamans not worrying one bit about healing ... BUt if we need them to HEAL or them to tank or them to decurse for a FIGHT thats what they will be doing . If winning or losing means 3 spots on the dps meter FOR A FEW FIGHTS then oh well. Play wow how it benefits me ? you dont know me . dont assume you know me .. please ever dont make that mistake again. I said one thing that some people took offence to and blew it out of proportion. I apologized ( see above ). Yet you come to me like this. Support class comment is you support the raid. totems support the raid , heals support the raid , buffs support the raid .. im the least selfish guy in here, ive given endless amounts .. but that aside, not that me saying so would make a difference since you are so passionate. Do me a favor from now on when you have a problem with me do not talk to me, unless you want to actually discuss. all you did was just cause more pointing ... speak to one of my elders. Spare me this drama. AGAIN I WAS WRONG IN MY TONE. I will not sit by as you keep this post alive .. wolf , maube , grulg whomever can you lock this post and please address me in game.

sry to hear that , hope you get back soon.

i feel the exact same way wald. Just i like to be prepared maybe i need to adjust my thinking abit , but i expect the same reciprocated. Just because its fun dont mean there dont have to be some type of order. Meh sry if i upset anyone.

lol talk to me in game . I acknowledge my need to tell people how to handle an encounter. PLay how you must. I assume your one of the shadow priest ive heard about *shrug * if not oh well. THink outside the box ? my warrior build is so far away from cookie cutter its sick ... so dont come to me with this idea. Yeah my tone probably wasnt the best .. but then again i lack savvy to sugar coat everything but no reason for you to come back with the same tone .. i mean why should 2 of us be wrong ? nice to think that virtually any spec combo can work but this isnt pvp and this isnt a scholo run. nor is it mc.. but ill concede .. im shallow , stupid and cant think out the box. I would appreciate it if we could continue this in game or on ts. *bow

smacks mindlessly elitest ? lol. how ever you want to interpret me fine. No Sweat off my back if the whole realm thinks im some elitest jerk.THeres but 3 healing classes on horde side... if you can heal and we need you to heal thats what you are doing. Would you rather think out the box and not win the fight ? perhaps so. Great you roll a feral druid.. again i will try to let you dps as much as you can but your a heal support class. sometimes play the roll. I dont like to tank very often ... majority of the time im MT for all the bwl bosses.... Just because i pay to play and out dps anyone that steps up to the plate dont automatically mean that i get to dps all the time. Make all your elitism jokes and what not but i dont have the time for this ... take this convo to in game or on ts -i dont feel the need to have my words further confuse anyone.
