    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    He was already full tilt by then, at first he just reacted to people saying PvP should be removed from the game because they don't like it and/or it is ruining pve. That's what I was referring to and should have been more clear about.

    The dude kind of had a point, but then he just insta tilted off the face of the earth. I've always thought that people on this board way overestimate the effect that pvp has on pve and wayyyyyyyy underestimate how hard competitive pvp has gotten.

    I was multiglad all thrugh TBC/wrath and now I'm kind of a mythic raider so I am fully qualified to say that the people on both sides of this argument are wrong.

    Lasers stack also. There's a LOT of hidden information about stacking with traits (and don't get me started on the hidden pvp effectiveness that changes bi-weekly), but generally damage stacks and CDR, resource gen, etc. do not. Check bloodmallet for better info.

    I have 15k shards to burn on a new alt but I can't because the slots I need to upgrade also have bad legos, and I haven't gotten one yet. Fun!

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I know it all comes down to personal preference, but I like how the games combat system allows for intelligent DPSing by tanks and healers. There's plenty of games where you can just be a damage sponge. I really enjoy timing my damage cds between untelegraphed tank busters. I like seeing that we...

    Tank style comparisons between HW and SB are more complicated than that because it totally depends on skill level of the group you are running with. In general you stance dance/CD intelligently MORE now than in HW, not the other way around. The tank threat changes were in response the huge...

    Tank damage scaling was changed to STR only, and they are now locked to VIT accessories... except that this change wasn't retroactive. If you play a tank it's worth having the i270 str accessories.

    The site makes it look like the invitee has to be on your friends list, and you can't add people that are offline. Am I reading this correctly?

    I went DRK first but you guys would have to clarify what you mean by clunky before I could provide a comparison

    This is starting to feel like it belongs in the other thread, but FFXIV has a really wierd (bad) combat mechanic complexity curve. 1-50 is completely retarded. 51-60 in expac 1 sckyrocketed, with DPS classes being way way more complicated to play than WoW. 61-70 it seems they have pulled back on...

    Funny, I was just thinking about this while playing the new FFXIV yesterday. I think part of it comes down to the Michael Bay style design of the legion areas - everything is jam-packed full of shit trying to be super interesting. I fell asleep during the 2nd transformers because I had been...

    Holinka is in charge of PvP, which is a mongo smash shit show and has brought nothing very engaging to the table in years. Ion is the guy from EJ that everyone (at least me and I hereby declare myself as speaker for everyone) hates.

    Welp, datamined skills match up with the previously released numbers for the jobs I want to play - PLD DRK DRG SAM - which means SB hits tomorrow and I still have no idea which one to level first.

    Are you saying that if I just stopped doing the quest chain 3 weeks ago that I am now caught up? Or does he need 100 MORE demons?

    I'm going to pick this up as my side bitch to Tomb of Sargeras. The weeb fun park is hilarious and the dev team is really likable. Couple questions: As a DRG a big part of losing interest during Heavensward was that the rotation was tiring after a while - even with that long GCD you're popping...

    Typed out a long response and deleted it - my texting habits are overtaking my forum posting format apparently. I will say that I agree, and added this to the pile of things that support my stance that management is the problem over there now. Also, the "we aren't deceptive, we're incompetent"...

    As someone wearing the frost DK helm the nerf is needed. No single item should provide the increase it currently does. The change will result in frost dropping a place or two on each individual fight, and it's not like it was topping everything, but since frosts strength was being pretty good at...

    DoTs don't tick immediately. It's the same reason you generally do 2x ua into reap, because that reap will affect the first tick of both UAs.

    I banked 28 caches for 7.1.5 and got Kil'jaeden's. People kept telling me that loot was generated when the cache is, but (1) I could never find a blue post confirming, (2) I found examples of separate coding for separate chest types in WoW's past, (3) we don't even know if a legendary is a loot...
