Druid of the Moon

Archive for the ‘Coming Changes’ Category

So I have been really busy as of late and finding it hard to get time to post. Hopefully people are still finding old posts on ArP or what not useful.

When I finally do get a chance I take a look at MMO Champs forums and read the multitude of changes coming… well tried to read them all… LFG, LFD, getting ported right into a dungeon, need, greed, gear rankings dungeon limitations… on and on… geesh, and this is just a content patch not the expansion.

So I read the juicy part about tanking in Icecrown, raid wide debuff, less mitigation, some stuff about boss attack scaling or something…

All I know is I am glad I am not tanking anymore and I don’t have to worry about it… but I would think Bears will be Stam stackers and have a big place in some fights.

Top-level helm and shoulder faction-related enchants are now available as Bind-on-Account items that do not require any faction to use once purchased.

I hope a move like this is a sign of more BoA items which will allow further alt upgrading without the dreaded grind. Would do nothing but improve your subscribers to have a little more wiggle room selecting a class they want to play.

This was just too cool to pass up…

I am sure it is safe to say I speak for most everyone over at AC that you are missed.  Going back to AC and not hearing your voice in vent or trying to beat/match your DPS on my first raid night back felt a little strange.

Gratz to BRK for getting some love from Blizz.

I am a poet and didn’t even know it…

1. New 5 man instance – Check, did both Heroic and normal… scored a The Black Heart but I need to keep doing normal for Banner of Victory. The only trick in here is to get the first 3 boss riders off their mounts and have all 3 trampled to the ground by running over them with your mounts at the same time to start the next phase of the fight unmounted. P.S. It bugged on us in normal mode once as 1 rider became immune.
2. New Crusader Dailies – Check.  They are not too difficult and I still need 20 more Crusader emblems from dailies to get my upgraded squire.
3. Check out the new Battle Ground, I hear it is really cool.
4. Jump on my Alchemist and start transmuting EPIC gems for all my gear… pray someone in the guild has the cuts I need.
5. Try getting the achievements done in Oculus now that mounts scale with iLvL gear.
6. Kill Yogg-Saron. We got close last week… about 20% away to starting phase 3. With the nerf to spawn rate on tentacles I think we might down him.
7. Fix my addons. FBN is not working which really sucks because I depend on it to track my DoTs and such. I checked and Face Mauler is working, I think I am going to like it better because it is less complex and takes less stuff into account. I really don’t need it to tell me when to hold back a certain attack because I am about to get feared or anything like that so maybe FM is going to be a lot better for me. I just like to know when Rip, SR, and Rake fall and FM looks perfect for it.
8. Log my Achelmist and start transmuting Epic Gems. Before doing this get the quest to learn the transmute from the trainer and learn all the new transmutes.
9. Do the Orphans quest in Dalaran, get a Wolvar to match my Wolvar disguise. P.S. It comes in the mail after you turn in all the quests.
10. Log my Horde hunter and get a Ravasaur as a mount… I hate the BelF bird.
11. Get some rage potions now that druids can use them… Ok, not really… just seeing if you people are paying attention… lol
12. Log my DK and see if there are any new Inscriptions that can be learned from the trainer.
13. Buy a Raptor Hatchling from Breanni in Dalaran. Maybe later hunt and kill rare / elite raptors for more of these little guys.
14. Raid the new instance in 25 man… at least I hope that is the plan… lol

Yes, it’s patch day!

I actually had a problem getting it installed. You might get this error if you were on the PTR…

This update requires “WoW.exe” version 3.1.3.9947. You have an older version, 0.2.0.10192

I uninstalled the PTR and it fixed it but I have also read running the launcher as an administrator might also fix the problem.
