    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The last time I did Thok LFR a troll tank pulled the bats and shit over to the sidewall and took out a good 12 people when that yeti came crashing into them. No one was even mad cause it was one of the funniest goddamn things I'd seen in a while.

    I (and I think a good majority of the player base) actually enjoy levelling up through the expansion content. It kind of feels like taking a break almost and playing through a single player RPG for a week or two before jumping into dungeons and raiding. I agree though that every time past the...

    Arms for sure until higher iLvl. I'm in the 540's on my warrior and I'm still arms. Fury will out-dps arms at about this point, but it's (at least imho) a lot harder to play. Plus you need 2x 2h weapons which I had shit luck on. I haven't really checked into what will be the better spec come...

    I think it's probably still a better route than relying on LFR RNG fuckery. And queuing LFR as melee? Fugetaboudit.

    Do you? I just bought them on my warrior... but maybe I had 7k honor already.

    You can buy the 522 pvp weaps for 1750 honor. Not sure how your battlegroup is, but on mine the horde win 85%+ of the random BGs I've done. If you side wins pretty often you can grind up that kind of honor in a couple hours or less. If you have any justice points on the toon already you can...

    A lot of heroic guilds do Monday night normal Garrosh farm runs and list them on openraid. There's one guy who does like 5 or so runs all spaced about 20 minutes apart and has a really good success rate.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'd actually say that means you are ready to have kids. Let's face it, the majority of men never have a burning desire for children so when you hit the point where it's no longer the worst thing that could happen you are probably ready. It's a weird thing anyway. I know when my kids were little...

    I thought about it. Many times. At this point though I really have no reason too. I don't need the looms before WoD so I don't mind just waiting for the nerf and the increased drops.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well after a couple weeks of not raiding, a couple of farm runs for more gear and a strat revamp my guild finally got the Garrosh kill on normal - I've been there for every attempt and have about 200 wipes logged. With that I am waiting until 6.0 when they nerf him and hand out free looms before...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It's not as nice as you make it sound. They get the same holidays as any other government worker and while they technically get the summer off in the sense that they aren't in the classroom, they still have administrative work plus prep for the next year that they have to do. They don't pay into...

    The only thing she's doing with that vicodin is selling it at the local high school for heroin money.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    So if this alpha male shit is all instinct, doesn't that by definition make it mostly unfakeable? I could see faking it to get laid a few times, but for the rest of your married life? That shit sounds like it would be exhausting at the very least and would probably lead to your marriage not only...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm sure the "resignation in life" factor is bigger than the gut factor. My purely non-scientific observation has been generally that man maintains weight (or makes a modest gain) after marriage and woman balloons up. If anything, the decline in sex is probably a lot more due to her self esteem...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Dumar busted out Leykis 101 on us. I'm sure all that shit will get you laid but you'd have to be a braver (or dumber) man than I to attempt to apply that to your marriage or long term relationship. If you've had kids and been snipped (as I have), or are trying to have kids, the consolation prize...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm going to say that's not a likely scenario. The point here is that they at some point had a decent sex life that went to shit. A body odor phobia wouldn't be some sudden development that was more important to her than sex is to a man. Most men don't try to fix what isn't broken so at some...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think what he was saying is that a woman should be pretty familiar with her husbands sex drive well before marrying him as well as respect the fact that sex is pretty damned important to a man. Respect is usually the bigger issue anyway. She knows he wants to have sex yet going off her...

    Bullshit that would absolve the other party. Is that how you approach relationships? Oh hey your effort wasn't good enough, it's your fault and I take no responsibility. Never-mind that your efforts were fine before, they aren't now and fuck you if you think I will actually tell you what I would...

    or at least bump it to 3k per week. I seriously hate getting a sidegrade now because I don't want have to spend a weeks worth of valor upgrading it.

    It makes it easier to get your 1k for the week I guess... I have shit loads of timeless coins, so I just wait until the weekend for the buff buy 5 valor tokens and cap.

    My guild is doing mighty shit-tastically at Garrosh with 150ish wipes... So I may be down to volunteer to tank/heal/dps whatever (paladin with 565ish tank gear and 550s for dps and heals) or if someone doesn't show on my guild's Friday/Sunday raids I could get you a spot with us. We're just...

    When I say tightly tuned I mean execution not numbers. Our numbers are fine, it's people handling the mechanics. It only takes one or two to fuck up and the whole thing is a wipe. And of course this is 7-8 minutes into the fight so that really doesn't help much.

    I don't know what to tell you or myself. The strategy is fine and so is the DPS. We phase him after 1 or 2 empowered whirls usually. I think our healers are shitty to be honest with you but who knows. I'm getting too tired to troubleshoot it anymore. I just hate how tightly tuned the fight...

    Normal Garrosh is turning out to be the game killer for me. I've clocked in like 150 wipes now, many sub 4 or 5%, and my guild just doesn't seem to be getting it. Yes we carry some mediocre players along with us, but historically we've been able to at least complete normal mode stuff without any...

    Very true on Flex 4. The nice thing about 4 though is that every boss has a chance to drop tier so it's a great wing to gear up with.

    550 isn't crazy for normal honestly. If you have the cloak that should be attainable with mostly LFR gear and hopefully a couple of pieces from Celestials and Ordos. There are some weekend raiding guilds that just need a warm body and would probably carry you through the first 4-8 bosses on...

    If you use Blizzards grouping tool you will get picked up for a Flex without bloated gear requirements. Flex groups are a little thinner at this point in the expac, but when 6.0 hits they'll probably be going like crazy for heirlooms.

    Start apping to guilds with intentions to do Mythic right now if you want to raid in WoD. Most of their members are likely on hiatus and the ones that do still play will probably get you at least 14/14 normal and a hand full of heroics in short order. If you like them and they like you I'd bet...

    Yes I forgot about the expansion "pre-patch" which as far as I know started with MoP so I don't know if I'd say like they always do.

    I am confused on what you are talking about. They said that Garrosh will no longer drop heirloom weapons in 6.0 - which btw is WoD. The first number of any WoW patch is the number of the expansion (WoD is the 6th expansion). If you are thinking the fact that they tweeted this is some sort of...

    Why do you think they want to make things more challenging for the casual player base? You really aren't making much sense. LFR gets tuned for flex and drop rates go up. I'm missing the part where they did Dark Souls hipster indie shit? Did anyone actually read this?Dev Watercooler: Raiding...

    I never had much tolerance for that. At least it's a guy though I wound up in a guild back in Vanilla after my long time EQ guild had broken up over AQ40 and had a screechy, bitchy chick for a raid leader. This chick would berate people for AFKs, stupid questions, jumping around too much - you...

    Flex is a good starting point to get everyone learning how to do the fights together. What nights would we be thinking here? Fri-Sun is out for me but other nights would be good.

    I'll go frogs when they aren't camped up. Now I usually kill those Ordos fuckers that give the faction along with rare farming. Rares can be good for 10 or more sometimes. I've also noticed that the first chest you grab in a week (like that one on the pillars towards the bottom of the Ordos...
