Official WoW Cataclysm Thread

[BondExtreme]

yeah my resto is awesome too, i never oom... never really did before lol

hehe. When Cataclysm hits with the new gear, you will. Especially if you don't watch your mana

 

[Frizz]

Never really tried 2h frost dps, always kept it simple with a big 1h weap and blood. Although I tried out plague already, in preparation for blood becoming more suitable for tanking in cata

What I do mean is NOT dual wield, I mean one badass mace or sword for frost. 2-Hander not 2 one handers.

I was sick of carrying puny swords as a DK ... although bloodvenom is quite sexy.

I think I just felt something wet in my pants with that cinematic...Good thing my friend has some scrolls of resurrection waiting for me.

People whine so much about classes being OP or neutered now. I don't think they realize there's 5 levels to go before cata raiding..

I'm not too worried about it, but it makes me sad that on my old Warrior, when he was in his Prime (December 08 4 Piece Valorous with Armageddon + other junk) I would do like 6k dps on the first VOA boss in 25 man, just went there yesterday on him and whipped out 4k... but yet I could do 5.5k on the single trash adds?

My friend went from doing 12k to 4k on his warrior. He just abandoned him in favor of his warlock.

 

[1Kurgan1]

Yeah, I found that kinda funny too, my Warr is only 4.2k gs, old school gear. And another friends Warr is like 5.4k, but we do the same DPS on target dummies now, and he was trying to argue with how I setup my new gear.... He didn't like it when I broke it down that I have signifigantly worse gear, yet do the same amount of DPS.

But yeah, Locks own now, loving Destro on mine, after working on my rotation, and using my trinkets and everything I can now hit about 9.4k on dummies, haven't even stepped in a raid, can't imagine what would happen with buffs and flasks. I use to do 6.5k on dummies and like 13k in raids, should be insanity now.

 

[zithe]

I just abandoned enhancement on my shaman. I saw one of my guildies pulling 19k single target on his frost dk with a 5900gs.

The hole game is screwed up since the stupid patch, freezes / crashes and D/C every time you try to do things.

I do like my warlock more now tho.

 

[Zubasa]

Am I the only one that ditched my warlock and actually play my warrior?

 

[1Kurgan1]

Yes, though I been tinkering on my old Warrior, but I gained almost 3k dps on the dummies on my lock, and Warriors lost a ton.

 

[f22a4bandit]

I haven't played since patch 3.3.3, and the stupid downloader is going way too slow. I'm averaging maybe 20kbps. Funny as how the first hour it downloads between 200 and 300kbps and then falls off the face of the earth.

Wierd, I almost maxed out my 100mbit-line on the download.

Anyway, I've been playing a couple of hours now, and I must say I'm dissapointed in at least two things (I actually had to stop playing to post this):

1. We are all retarded. As in "Best used" in the tool tips. Really? The game is even more dumbed down.

2. The Warlock's DoT spells now do not have any way to tell the damage. Corruption tooltip: "Causes shadow damage over time. Keep active on your enemy during combat." And what about Demon Armor: "Increases your armor and health gained from spells. Keep this spell active at all times." This is seriously bad. And the golden Searing Pain: "Causes moderate Fire damage at moderate range but causes the target to be very angry with you. Best used with Soulburn." ....
..
.
Very angry with you? Moderate damage? I WANT NUMBERS!!!!!

Or is there a way to actually know how much damage you're causing? It's so retarded I wish I didn't buy that extra month.




EDIT: Ok nvm, I found the "Beginners Tooltip" now. I can't believe I didn't look there in those hours played.

I guess that have to do with you being fury.
(Fury also loses the T10 2-piece bonus along with armor pen.)
Arms is actually viable as a DPS spec once again.

Edit: Aren't they dropping a patch to fix the DPSers in these couple of days?

Like you said you found the tooltip options, but those numbers were also vanity numbers before anyways, base numbers that didn't take into account spellpower and never really reflected the power of the spell.

Warriors got buffed sometime in the last week or so, so it's better now, I haven't gone back and tested on a dummy, I'd expect a better result now, but my warrs only like 4.2k gs, so nothing amazing.

The new tooltips now actually do tell the damage with spell power taken into account.

Interesting, I never even bothered with tooltips before, so I'll have to take a look now, some of the Lock changes are weird. Now Conflag is by far the hardest hitting spell, just with self buffs I crit for almost 25k with it on the Raid Target Dummy... Yes the previous hardest hitting (chaos bolt) doesn't even compare, infact it seems to only be as good as Incinerate now?

 

[Reventon]

Okay when the fuck does Cata come out again I'm dying over this shit it's Dec. 7th correct?

 

[Steve-007UK]

yup supose to be dec7th.
