    The warrior drop only shows up if you have the faction, and then it's supposed to be 100%. Maybe the shaman drop is in the same boat?

    But how many of those are shitposts? And do quantity of luls > quality of luls? Wait, wait, I talked about quality in the Pantheon thread. My bad.

    Really, who watches random people play games? Why would anyone ever do that? Why wouldn't you just play the game yourself?

    I didn't get the Skar'thos piece for Fury because I wasn't quite at Exalted when I killed him. Got Exalted and it didn't drop because I'd already looted that week. FU Blizz.

    I take 15% more damage (with talent) only when enraged, which is not 100% of the time (though I wish it were). By contrast, I have almost 1 million more HP, definitely more than 15%, in Fury than I do in Arms (more when enraged). I also heal myself a heck of a lot more in Fury, especially in...

    TIL: I will eventually no longer be able to outdps Drupada in fury because I can't pull 250k reliably at this point.

    I didn't get the Shar'thos piece. Killed him twice just to be sure. I bet you have to be on a quest to get it, don't you? Fuuuuu.

    Oh, cool. I can stop madly running WQs to get exalted with the others now. Already exalted with Valarjar.

    For the Skovald and Nithogg pieces, yes. Can't remember what you need for Skarthos.

    Virtualization (VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V, ...)

    It seems like a good deal to me. Hopefully the cache battery on the perc 6i is still good, but that's the only issue I've ever noted with these.

    Decent. HDD are too small for anything realistic though. I'm assuming you'd have moar drives at some point though? We use a number of R710s at work. They're good workhorses.

    Meh, my DH is nowhere near the tank my warrior is, but that's probably just me playing it wrong. I don't care enough to fight with it, and I'm not main switching, so it's not a driving factor for me to complain about. I get that they have different play styles. I prefer warrior. It doesn't need...

    Oh, I get it. I'm still in awe of how easy druids appear to have things right now, but the pendulum swings both ways. Warriors, due to IP, were OP as shit before that nerf and everyone was bitching about it.

    Let's stop talking about nerfing something that works, and focus on improving what doesn't, shall we? This whole "drag everyone down to my DK/DH/BrM's level" thing is ridiculous. Since they undid some of the prot warrior nerf, I think we're at a reasonable place again. It's no secret that...

    On paper, this works well. In reality, it has too much potential to backfire (mostly because luls) when you're talking about negatively rating someone. If you have the ability to curb stomp someone into the shit forever, some people will make it their life's work to do so to as many people as...

    I liked the way FFXIV did this. There was a point (i.e. achievement whoring) in getting player recommendations at the end of an instance, so people were less likely to ditch because they had to catch 'em all to get to that next level.

    It's only fun, in my opinion, when the expectation isn't there. If I'm in a group of people that are demanding that we +3 or they'll be mad, nah, that's not for me.

    A good amount of warrior rage is from taking damage, for sure. And yeah, downward scaling on that sucks. IP uptime is getting really difficult to maintain in lower difficulties now.

    Poll Cures: How easy are they?

    Right, but the idea that something "cannot be cured" is ridiculous. What was that Picard-ism? "Things are only impossible until they're not"? I'm sure that 100 years ago, the idea of completely eradicating smallpox seemed rather far-fetched. Well, here we are, and it's done.

    Poll Cures: How easy are they?

    What a ridiculous notion. Smallpox ran rampant and killed untold millions until it was all but eradicated due to vaccination (e.g. it was "cured" by preventative means). There are a large number of people working on cures for chronic diseases at all times. Hopefully, they're much less...

    I go over my 5GB/month all the time, mostly because I make frivolous use of the full speed data until I get rate limited after 5GB. It's still unlimited. I can still do anything except download files/tether my laptop to my phone at any reasonable speed. One day I'll learn not to allow the...

    Yes, it's a key design change, and it's been in the rumour mix for years, given other manufacturers' designs dropping the physical button and moving to a virtual one. Have you never seen this on any Android phones? They've had virtual home buttons for years now, and they work just fine. I'm...

    I'm hoping for a better antenna, to be honest. Signal strength with my phone vs. anyone else's Android-based phone has always been in their favour, it seems, though it's hard to compare Apples to apples in this case since there are so many variables. That, and the removal of the home button...

    Okay, guys. Do you understand the tick/tock model? The 7 should have been a "tock", after the "tick" of the 6S, which wasn't much of a change from the 6. It isn't. It is essentially a 6S that you don't have to put in a water-resistant case if you're prone to dropping your phone in water. The...
