Some more dodge and a few K more health is about all I think. Armor is more as well, but not to the levels that they were in TBC - where bears would be having 75% reduction purely based on armor.

I myself play a cat druid but i do tank now and then when required.
First thing this new dodge debuff did do was make me wonder how it would be for feral tanks.
DK's can Dodge and Parry, Pala's and Warriors can Dodge, Parry and Block.
Ferals can not Block or Parry... only dodge!

I haven't done my homework yet but i don't think Druids have that much more armor then the other tanks and certainly not that much more health like in the past.
This could mean Bears are gonna be extinct soon...

2009-10-25T10:55:07.802+01:00

Actually, I don't think it is weapon skill per se that is the problem. It works as a measure of skill and level as you level up.

What is annoying and feels dated is having to manually skill it up when you use a new weapon. The only effect that has is a long, annoying, pointless grind until you can be useful with the weapon.

The sensible thing would be to simply set Weapon Skill at level x 5, so that it improved automatically as you leveled up.

2009-10-22T10:35:04.737+02:00

It's not that difficult to get the skill up, at least. Well, if you can heal yourself, that is. Poor melee fools. Find a mob and hit it for an hour or so and you're at 400 (though you'll have to switch mobs every once in a while).

The only strategy I've seen for melee is to work on it in a raid, as the elites make leveling up the skill really easy. Probably not the best choice for your DPS (or relations with the rest of the raid), but supposedly it works.

Now that I think about it, that is a really annoying mechanic.

2009-10-19T18:51:27.743+02:00

Casters have more trouble with it due to spell hit chance. 17% miss at 3 levels above you, and that steadily increases.

My young paladin was whacking away mobs 5-6 levels above him though. Not as fast as equal level mobs however.

2009-10-19T16:55:05.992+02:00

Weapon skill is more relevent to levelling characters than max toons. Its why its incredibly difficult to take on mobs more than 5 levels above you because you either can't hit them or do feeble damage when you do.

It is a measure of control to stop people tackling mobs and quests significantly out of their level range. In this age of crazy glyphs and whatnot, im sure my baby lock could solo mobs 10 levels higher than him with his souped up glyphed voidwalker tank if he could actually hit the mob to kill it. That is, however, not what was intended.

Yeh, it's obvious why they're doing it. Can be frustrating when you're working on gear for 4-5 months then have it all become redundant while you're still in the middle of one thing.

Here's to hoping 3.3 will be better. So far it looks a lot like BT, wings an all.

2009-10-05T16:20:08.016+02:00

Actually when you think about it, it's pretty obvious as to why Blizzard is doing this - and by large the culprint is actually the whole notion that 25-man loot should be better than 10-man loot.

Okay, let me elaborate on that.

Starting with Naxxramas, Blizzard ended up in a situation where they decided to have two seperate tiers of raid loot - one for 10-man and one for 25-man; this is a significant difference from the past where Blizzard generally only has had one raid with one loot tier open at a time. Then along came Ulduar and suddenly there was almost three tiers of loot: Ulduar 10-man, Ulduar 10-man hard modes + Ulduar 25-man, and quick maths inform us that Blizzard has now used up Five raid 'tiers' across just two raids!

To that Coliseum has come along, which is a very quick and simple raid, and is meant mostly as an equalizing stuffing between Ulduar and Icecrown Citadel - and it too has three tiers of loot, and the bottom tier has to be sufficiently high that people actually get stuff out of it rather than just keep using ulduar gear; and they still want to give this time to alts catching up.

I can agree it's a tad boring, but it's pretty evident why they had to do something along those lines and what the underlying problem is, and I don't really agree it slights anyone. Except for the two triumph emblems per day (not that much compared to how much you can get from the Coliseum raid), the only way you'd need conquest emblems from heroic dungeons is if you've never gone further than 10-man Ulduar and thus didn't already have 25-man normal Ulduar loot and wasn't already drowning in conquest emblems.

To be honest, I think the heroic mode raid is interesting in a sense, because it draws a rather harsh line where you are on the raiding scale - whether 10 or 25 man, whether you can handle the heroic mode or not might suggest a whole lot about to what extents you (and your group) can handle potential future hard modes in Icecrown Citadel. That said, I still prefer the optional hard modes because then you have a bit more pick and chose option while you're actually progressing, but it definitely seems like Blizzard was intent on drawing a line and let people see where they are in terms of progression and what they can take on. If you've been tackling Ulduar hard modes up until 3.2, then Heroic Coliseum shouldn't be that much an obstacle - if you've just been skipping them because it's easier to, then it might be an idea to do the same with heroic Coliseum - it's just one long hard mode by design. That's the whole point with it.

It's not ideal, but by large 3.2 acomplishes what it's supposed to - it evens out the playing field somewhat in preparation for Icecrown, gives space for people to get alts up to speed fairly easily and really draws a line whether or not your raid will be ready for oncoming hardmodes.

2009-10-05T10:45:29.289+02:00

I myself used to be in a high end raidguild (Elysium on Aszune) until i recently decided i was tired of the pressure and the egos so i rerolled horde (typical Elysium fell apart a month later).

So now i've managed to gear up my new toon with badges loot that most of the upgrades come from ToC10 or up. Kind of an issue as the guild i am (which is fun & friendly) haven't cleared Uld10 even.
You might understand i welcome the way loot with badges work as i otherwise couldn't have gotten the kit i've currently have.
And if you think only raiders deserve the end-game gear, i disaggree. Sure, i can deal with full time raiders getting first pick but i'd like to have a chance on upgrades aswell in due time.. that's the whole point of this game aint it?

I don't consider myself getting the gear spoonfed either, i spend time learning my class, tweaking UI and addons, gemming and enchanting everything.. the fact that i'm constantly the no.1 dps during our guildraids does show i'm willing to do the effort right?

2009-10-05T10:45:05.636+02:00

I can't see your video at work, but for the casual gamer I am, badges are an excellent thing. They allow me to explore dungeons I couldn't have reached without them. It seems that you're more angry against the differences between normal and heroic modes than against easy stuff for casual gamers. To be honest, I've never understood these kinds of point of view. Sorry for my bad english and thanks for your great blog. A french rogue.

2009-10-04T04:58:42.174+02:00

If the old PC has a CD reader, DL & burn a linux live CD ISO, & use that to boot. Given its age, I'd suggest one of the lightweight distros, e.g. Damn Small Linux, Wolvix, SliTaz, Puppy Linux, or maybe KNOPPIX. http://distrowatch.com is a great portal to start looking.

Given your old PC's age and (likely) minimal RAM, you will want to avoid Ubuntu and derived distros for this purpose. I think you might do best with Puppy, and probably one of the older versions. It should boot your computer, attach it to your network, and mount your old HD, allowing you to do whatever file management you need.

The bitch has a tendency to wake at 3 am, 4 am, 5 am and start jumping around on high heels. She's also come to the amazingly bright idea once to start vacuum cleaning her whole house at around 2 am once... (o)_(o)
She's been talked to by 3 neighbors including myself that such behavior is unacceptable when you're living in a block building.. but to no avail, and the cops don't seem to think it's a problem either. Go figure.
Murder seems to be the only viable option left.....
