    Herb trader was up today! Let the trinketing commence this evening when I get home from work (I almost called in sick).

    What do you do?

    Sorry, I just have to reminisce now... I started in "IT" in the private sector making maybe 13 an hour in 2004. Worked mostly swing shift as grunt labor installing desktops, monitors, switches, etc. in a 3k employee HQ building and lots of field offices in the NW, Alaska and Hawaii. OT was...

    What do you do?

    I have worked in government for about 7 years in various IT professions. I started with a WA state agency, went to the Feds, back to WA state with a different agency and hit a hard salary cap around 78k at the 5 year mark. I finally landed with a city (nix admin) about 19 months ago and love it...

    Does he like pepperoni sticks? They suck for salt content but are pretty calorie dense otherwise. 2-3 per day could easily introduce another 350-500 calories. My kid can eat them non stop so I had to quit buying them.

    You can teleport out of the dungeon and do other things while waiting for the group to refill. Click the eyeball thing on your minimap

    Order a Mumble Voice Comms Server - Multiplay Gameservers- These guys are pretty cheap. British company, but they have servers in the US. I think you can get 50 slots for under $5 a month. I'd gladly kick in if you want to set up a RR paypal or something.

    Pop tarts you can stand on the conveyor and keep casting. You can just spread away from the group and not even move for slams if you set yourself up right. On the stamp phase, just go every man for himself. Don't even worry about casting, just do Holy Shocks and maybe Holy Light when it's...

    I really only need stuff out of BRF. Tier and trinkets, though my trinkets suck so bad HM trinkets would be an upgrade. If the alchemy trader ever pops I'll have one trinket covered.

    Tried seraphim on N Gruul. I don't like having the extra HP finisher to manage every 30s and I'm sure I played it pretty sub optimally but it was still about a 4k dps increase overall.

    I'm talking about copying what others write from the chat window. As far as I know, there is no way to do so from the default ui.

    I forgot to mention that in order to copy paste from wow chat you need to use a chat addon like prat or something.

    C'mon Sorrows help me pally! Looking at ranked players, I see a lot of people using seraphim and SW on single target oriented fights. Think I might try that.

    2 monitors or copy and paste haha. Though that would be cool if there was add on that could link your info and if other people had it they could click it and launch the specified app with info filled in.

    Speaking of logs, what can I do to bump my dps a bit? I took DP and I like it for the most part, but I'm sort of confused on DS. I try to only use it single target when it procs and FV buff is up. If AoE, then I basically alternate FV and DS regardless of DS proc. Am I on the right track? I also...

    1-60 is easy. 61 to 90 is where it really hits a steep decline in fun for me.

    Or just kickstarter for 60$ to boost to 90.

    The other plus to druid is that you can play any role and the boomer stat priority isn't too far from resto so the gear would cross over well.

    Sims are showing survival hunters and arcane mages as top DPS. Honestly though I don't think you could go wrong with any. Boomers are huge on certain fights and a warlock would be awesome if just for rocks and summons.

    Master Plan addon for missions. I think now you just go to Org, take the portal to Hellfire and start questing - you may be able to get a feeder off of the warchief command board.

    What's the timeframe on this? Saturday nights are generally a no-go but getting AOTC would be worth it... My wife won't give me much shit unless I make a habit out of it. I may have a lockout on Imp, if not definitely Koragh as my guild is doing heroic HM tonight.

    I actually got something useful out of my BRF cache. 680 shoulders to replace my 645s. The HM caches have been nothing but a long string of dissapointment giving me shit I already have.

    Gear wise, I think skipping Slagworks entirely and probably doing Black Forge first then going to Iron Assembly would be a good move. That's 3 shots at tier assuming we kill the bosses we've already killed and possibly a 4th with Maidens.

    I had asked if could change my forum name to Alavaz since that's my game name. JTheRuler is my ancient FoH name that made 12ish years ago and don't even remember why at this point. I think it was actually supposed to be JaTheRuler but I fat fingered it... Yes I liked Ja Rule. It's murdahhhh

    I'll throw it out there again that my guild does N BRF (off to a rocky 3/10 start) Sundays 8:30 - 11:30pm CST and H HM (5/7 pretty much on farm now) Wednesday in the same timeslot. Unfortunately I only have slots for DPS at the moment and you probably need to be 650ish so that may not help the...

    everybody stay healing!! Hehe I don't really mind healing, I just only do it on the occasional saturday and in LFRs for faster queues. I main ret in my guild so if I get healing items they are leftovers and it hasn't happened often. We have been so surprisingly full on healers that I just...

    I'm on PST so my wife loves Saturday morning raids. I get up at 7:30ish with my son get him breakfast and set up with a movie or his tablet or whatever and she gets to sleep in while I raid/keep an eye on my son. He's almost 4 though so pretty self sufficient.

    With the relatively cheap cost of servers due to virtualization technologies it seems like it would be easy enough to open several progression servers and then consolidate them as activity declines.

    I don't even mind carrying people as long as they are prepared, on-time and show the desire to improve. I hate the people who somehow think that the raid START time is the time they need to log on. Of course they then have to get their seals and their flasks before they can come to the raid...

    Are they going to require you do the full apexis gear ladder to get the 670 shit? I mean if they want people to actually use the apexis gear, I'd say that whatever you could farm up within about a week would be a reasonable price for the 670 and dump the whole ladder of shit. I had about 18k...

    I was having a hard time trying to find a spot where I could heal melee and tanks. Then when that smash thing goes out (the crumbly stone trail thing) it would really divide the raid and I'd lose range a lot on that too.
