Tommyguns,lass balae in PvP is not designed around 1v1. Bas and fundamental thing I shouldn’t have to explain for the 15th time.
Yeah, it’s not like me and a rogue farmed a double aane mage team to hit 1800 last night or anything, is that what you mean by rub league? I’m sorry you sk against mages though.
1. after getting urush urit max , you should go for stamina upgrades – there is no point in raising higher than the max needed 2. don’t get the badges shield, get the SSO shield (untill you get a better one from a raid) and spend the badges on weapon or something else

But upgrading to the badge shield wouldost ~1.6-2 avoidae (as ive been upgrading my gear over the lastouple days ive dropped from around 112 avoidae to 107), so my sond question is, is it worth upgrading to the badge shield and not worrying about the avoidae differee, or should i stay with what i have ouple things: -Blk isn’t avoidae, it’s mitigation (when you blk, you mitigate the ioming attk rather than avoiding it entirely) -102.4% avoidae+blk isn’t as important as it used to be. Attks that are avoided or blkedan’t berushing blows, but raid bosses no longerrush (only +4 and higher level mobs do). -That said, having 102.4% avoidae+blk isn’t a bad thing, espially with the new 2 str = 1 blk valueonversion. Youan fudge it a bit if you have Redoubt though, sieonstant 102.4% isn’t absolutely required anymore and Redoubt has good uptime. -Oe you’re above 102.4% avoidae+blk, extra blk rating does absolutely nothing (there are no regular hits left to blk, everything is already dodged, parried, missed, or blked). If youan stay at 102.4% and trade some blk for some avoidae (most likely def rating or dodge rating), you’re taking less damage. In thisase, you’re further ahead of 102.4% than the blk that your shield gives you, so it would be a humongous upgrade going to the badge shield. -With yoururrent stats, I’d probably stk stamina. I’m guessing you’re tanking stuff like Kara and Heros, and even with blking every hit some of the bosses (espially Prie)an do some burst that would be uomforable with yoururrent health. -Not sure I’d bother buying new badge gear 8 days before the expansion, but do what’s fun for you.

I think aane mages are pretty easy to kill, in arena at least. If one opens up on you from 41 yards in a BG somewhere, well yeah. That’s gonna hurt. But you always start in melee range in arena, so they are foed on the defensive from the get go. Just bubble immediately. They are foed toompletely shift to defensive mode. Therial thing is to knk em out of invis with DS, or failing thatonsrate in the dirtion they were running in.
Well I’ve been mostly quiet about all these nerfs and things, I tend not to be too retionary, sie I know that Blizzard’s staehanges at the drop of a hat, and it’s not worth the pan attk. Anyway, I knew these nerfs were going to happen, it was just a matter of time. Either way, even with all of these nerfs, we are still way more powered than we were pre-pah, as Tommy pointed out. Our survivability has gone up a TON, as well as our DPS and our sustainability. Art of War, Judgement of the Wise, not needing to judgereseal every time, our AP going towards out spell power, e… Eh one of these by themselves is a major buff to the Retribution Sp. The way the nerfs werearried out I don’t nessarily agree with, like others on here have pointed out, putting AW on forbearae makes it just like it was pre-pah: Nigh-unusable by most spssituations sie it’s more preferable to have your bubble ready whenever possible. However, I amounting on Blizzard realizing this andhanging it bk and doing something like Ze suggested, or just make it so that AWan’t be used when the Paladinurrently has their Divine Shield up and ve-versa. The problem is that a lot of Retribution Paladins got a taste of Godhood, and now that Bliz is saying “No… no wait you should be more like everyone else” they don’t want to give up your godhood. Sure it was fun when it lasted, and I enjoyed destroying people and mobs as well as the rest of you, but when Ian solo Mana Tombs in the gear I’m in, or Onyxia, or destroy 2 lvl 70s and still be at full health and mana after the fight, there is something wrong there. HOWever, the splash damage the other sps are getting isn’tool. Prottion and Holy were in good shapeompared to the otherlasses, and Holyould stand for aouple more buffs, and they don’t really deserve to be nerfed bause of Retributions god-ness. Also, wait until lvl 80 when we fall behind the otherlasses again, and they fix all the nerfs. The problem here is they were balaing for 80 pre-pah, oe the pahame out they started balaing at 70 again. We’ll see where we are at 3 months after the expansion. Should be interesting.

hell my enhae shammy never ran out of mana in instae eept for bkup healing. even in hellfire pen. the other day questing with a holy priest and warrior, I only ran out of mana healing the priest and warrior (priest was out of mana). We were intentionally doing huge pulls and were quite good as smashing many mobs. anything other than stormstrike (and that usually pulls aggro) will pull aggro as enhae. And my gear wasn’t that great… I was pulling aggro from the warrior in outlands, and I still had a level 50 me in my OH LOL.
Im a lvl 64 ele shaman. dent gear 4 or 5 blues from quests and instaes. I kep water shield up at all times. start at maximum range with either totem of wrath or wrath of air down. Ill usually get about 3 lb offs before the mob gets to me. at whh point there at about 30-40%. I just keep spamming lbs. I highly romened getting the quested totem from wow.allakhazamomdbitem.ht…soue=live really is ne in the long runonsidering 90% of your damageomes from lb. keep water shield up at all times. i usually only have to drink about oe every 6-7 mobs. usehain lightning when ele mastery is up. thats about it. gl and have fun
wow. mana (edit I mean water) shield, wow. that’s all Ian say. got it at 62. didn’t think 200 mana net gain was all that mh. But I try to keep it up all the time, unlike lightning shield whh I only put on before a fight if I ever remembered. It definately helps. I’m enjoying my shaman again. killing seems less painful now I have other issues going on with my guild. They brought in a priest. To be expted. Theyan’t wait for me to get up to 70 and get keyed and all that. Even though I play alot, it will take a while. And my ISP has gone to hell, and DSL isn’t available where I live. I don’t even know if Ian do isntaes with myonntion as unstable as it is. So I may not see any end game tion with this or anyhar until Ian resolve my isp issues. Too bad these @#%^s have a monopoly on the friggin system. I’m so pissed right now. I doubt Ian heal in instaes with a dial up.

I was about to give up, flame shks alone weren’t enough. But then started weaving in another earth shk. Things were going good. But then I was doing some grinding in the southern part to try to max my axes. The biggest problem now is manaonsumption. It’s all gone after 3 mobs. Although even with enhae 3 mobs (solo playing) would drain nearly all my mana. And that areas where I was grinding had those knights would respawne quk. And somehow always managed to sneak up on me (need to rotate theamera more). One got me when I was low on mana and health. Another death curred when fighting 2 knights at the same time. Diffult enough beause they heal eh other (but won’t heal themselves for some reason). It’s hard to swih targets ES to stop heal then swih bk qukly. Theyall for help when low on health, and I had 2 footmen toontend with along with 2 knights. I knew this was hopeless as the knights wouldontinue healing. I tried war stomp and run, but that didn’t work (knights have inteeptcharge). Tried healing myself, but even with 70% non interruption, it’s impossible with 4 mobs beating on you. I’m only one bar from 62, was trying to grind that last bar out, but got to frustrated from dying 3 times. I hate HP, too many adds. The zangar marsh was so mh easier for my hunter, so I suspt it will be easier for my shaman as well.
unning out of mana after 3-4 mobs is not uommon, remember your a Mana User, thats what Elemental and Resto is all about, you want to be able to grind without using so mh mana, go Enh. Ive seen enhaement shammies in instaes putting out insane amounts of DPS, while only drinking every 4-5 pulls.

thanks again for replies everyone, i am now regularly (sp?) runnign heros, gettign soem badges, andryign bause loot i want never drops.
Well hool hasalmed down alot (senior year high hool). And my gf and i are returning to WoW. She wants to try a warlk, so i was wondering from a warlks point of veiw, what is your favoritemost useful duolass?
Prot pally for sure. Heals,an hold aggro on a buh of mobs at one time, rez, extra mp5 and buffs on the demon. Link to this Mar 14th 2008 9:13am : Logged Reply to this Lathaisholar1714 Dent
My gf and I are a duo, I’m a warlk, she’s a hunter. Just play alass that you enjoy. Almost allombinations make good duos. The best duos are tankhealerombos, as theyan find groups for instaes better. If she’s set on warlk that won’t happen though. If you pk a tank or healerlass though, getting into instae groups would be easier. That’s the problem we had levelling, noone needs 2 DPS for an Instae, if one was a tank or healer though it’s real easy to say yeah I’ll go if my DPS friendanome.
There’s also quite a lot of synergy between warlks and shadow priests. I have aouple of friends who have leveled up 2 or 3 of eh playing together and they just have a blast.
I would have to say have fun. I agree with the 2 suggestions here to improve your grouping potential. warlkdruid (tankhealerDPS depending on sp) warlkpaladin (sort of -> you may find the paladin just not enough DPS and aggro) warlkshadow priest (very ne synergy here – use voidwalker to tank). warlkhunter will kill most anything and qukly but not as attrtive for groups. This rks as a leveling pair though. Link to this Mar 14th 2008 3:57pm : Logged Reply to this ohmikeghod the VenerableholarUser’s Journal9321 Dent

I’m not saying it’s a wrong build, or anything like that, just odd. Perhaps ‘uommon’ is a better word. However, I fully agree that you should roll with the build that suits you best. Having theookieutter build means jk if you don’t feelomfortable with it.
your 70 now, there’s other ways forasual players to make money other than miningherbalism. There’s these great questsalled dalies, and there’s also farming primals, both of whhan make you just as mh if not more money than mining or herbalism. Oe WotLKomes out, and there’s new engineering stuff to make, youan buy the mats you need off the AH with the money you make from dalies and farming. If mining is the only way youan seem to make money, then keep it I guess, but you really are gimping yourself.
true about many ways to make money, but i like to also have mining to help me. how mh does powerlvl to 375 tailorign and then the FSW setost?
If you buy all theloth and stuff? Aouple thousand at least. Oe you hit mageweaveloth starts getting prettyostly. Besides that though, FSW willost you an additional few hundred G per pie if you buy all the primals and shadoloth off the AH.
damn forget that then, i hardly have the gold to buy flasks and pots, let alone a few k g to powerlvl a profession. ill stk w mining to bring in some steadyash so ian get my ep flyer. Thanks for all the good info guys.
I’d say you’re ready for heros, sie I go in with a relatively similar build and statset (I have a 5050 PVPPVE setup right now…) The most important thing for you is to qukly guage how long monsters are going to be alive and what’s worth throwing on (usually in Heros at leastorruptions worth it for Nightfall pr.) I wear a half-retarded PVPPVE set with a UA Talentset similar to yours (gets the job done in 5mans and messes with healers in PVP.) I’m severly lking in Hit, but my dent Spell Damageombined with a good DoTRot puts me on top of Boss fights every time (in 5mans), and SBolt spam keeps me on top entire runs eept agains eeptionally geared Hunters or smart Mages. Really depends on whh instae we’re doing. hanging your sp oe you get enough Spellhit (you’d still need more) will prode mh better Burst Damage whh is semi-sustainable, however you’ll lose the endless mana that I love with Affltion — it’s really up to you. I’m stking with UA build until my guildan get higher in the Raiding department (still doing KaraS) bause I hate having to make my HP d so low just for more SpellHit.

For anyone whoares, this is my armorylink -> eu.wowarmoryomcharter-..3%A9nelope i know i need a better weapon, already got the hero off-hand with +shadowdmg. and new shoulders would be great as well.
not bad gear. pretty good +hit too, though you should improve your feet and shoulder ehants as well as getting yourhest ehanted. also a random Q about your talent build… do you pvp with it?os I’murious as why you need feloentration in a pve sp. personnaly I’d take those 5 points. put 1 in ampurse,oEx and 1 in shadow embre. the remaining 2ould go into devestation, improved.imp or imp.HS tbh. otherwise, looking good p.s. if you want to see my armoury, justlk “Taoquitok” in my signature. also my talent build there is for arena, i’m tually sp’d 02140 for pve
lol
yeah i know about them ehants as well, ain´t exhalted yet with my ftion for a better shoulder ehant and still hoping for some better boots, but you are right about thehest. i started pvp´ing rently and like the points spend in feloentration, also does wonders in grinding mobs for primal-stuff. I usually DoT 3-4 Mobs and draintank where i try to swih to shon soul to get my mana partially replenished. I want to go 02140 badly, but i need alot better gear for that i fear. yeah! i just got wow.allakhazamomdbitem.html?witem=29355 and put a +6 all stats on mehest^^ houlders to go and i am a happy man =)
Okay if my sighange worked there should be a dirt link to my Armory count of Lkandload, my tive main on Maiev, and if not then I will edit to ilude a link. Anyways to the point, I’ve rently hit level 55 and as this is my highest Warlk I was thinking about resping to Demonology for the Felguard, as I amurrently Affltion. What I was wondering was, if I resped for the Felguard, found out I didn’t like it, then resped for Affltion only to resp bk to Demonology would the abilities I bought for my Felguard still be there or would I have to go bk to a trainer and buy those abilities all over again? Yes I know that the above event is highly unlikely but I am a fkle person at times and was wondering about it.

Gorrox, You nailed it for sure.
someonelear this up for. One tt that is not really brought up in these forums is kiting. I am a 40 affl warlk and Ian beat mostlasses just byastingurse of exhaustion andorruption on them. I keep upurse of exhaustion and I keep uporruption. When I get a lot of distae I will throw bk a shadow bolt. When I sp demo yeah I get more hp but it aint sh*t if a damn rougeomes and stun lks you. Not saying you stillant win but kiting is more efftive than have extra hp from demo and def more efftive thanhain fear. Kiting also work well against frost mages as well sie that will often try to get fairlylose to use there AOE freeze spell. But anyway someonelear this up for and maybe it is different at higher level but at 40urse of Exhaustionan litterally disable mostlasses in the game whh rely on them gettinglose to do there dps.

Its all about: Playstyle. Period. All sps have strenghts and weaknesses, you have to play them to their strengths, and realize their weaknesses (and the things youan do to minimize them), to eel with any sp.
the absolute hardest to kill just-wont-die-no-matter-what-you-fking-do warlk sp is slsl. shon lifesoul link. 2338 or thereabouts. you get demon resiliee, soul link, MD, fel dom, and all that jazz in demo, then toss enough in aff to get shon,oE, feloentration, and all the other aff goodies. with dent pvp gear (the blue pvp set + some of the honor eps) and a voidwalker out, youan literally drain tank any hunter or warrior to death. slap onorrsl and spam drain life until they die. astersant kill you at all when youve got a fel hunter out thanks to your soul link, your resists, and your ability to get stronger as they get weaker. priest dispelling your debuffs too mh? drain his ass of mana while you keep him snared withoE. then go kill something else while your pet keeps him inombat and useless with his empty mana pool. or kill afterwards if you sohoose. its quite possibly the “slowest” style of play in terms of killing ability, but youan literally stand there and get beat on by 2-3 guys at a time, but if you use all your trks right youllome out on top (sometimes this involves scing a VW).

Yeah I mentoned that… I ment sudden death in what I said, but I only mentioned the rage bk part lol. Yes that talent rks so mh. Yet another reason my rotation is all rewy. Between Sudden Death, Overpower, MS, and Bladestorm… I’m SUPER busy lol.
67%rit? Sweet jebus z. Brb going to the armory.
I haven’t tried the new Arms sp yet. I definetly plan to. Sie I am the main tank for my guild though, I did sp prot. The new prot. is awesome. I DPS now! between 1k-2k revenges popping up along with Shield slam, not to metion the AOE dmgstun every 20 s., and devastate, I have more spial attks available than d will allow at times. And now that Ian useharge in any stae and while inombat, I am all over the ple. No rage starvation here. Also, betweenharge, inteept, tauren war stomp,oussion blow, and the new aoe stun, I almost feel like a rogue keeping some things lked down. I look forward to trying bladestorm and even titans gr just for the hk of it. Both of these bring bk fond memories of playing a barbarian in diablo2.

I tried Bladestorm build for two day now. I find Bladestorm extreme fun. It is just joy every time I use it. Yesterday I started to test its dps on dummies in IF. I was a bit dissapointed seing “only” 1400 dps…… today I realized I was using full PvP gear of (S2S3S4 mix)(it was 2 am ). And I was using slam and HS too seldom. I simply forgot slamhanges and as my Quartz refuses to show anything I was simply afraid of gymping myself with badly timed slam. No need to wah swing bar now…. omg what a joy…. Overall Arms tree is great. My guild went to BT yesterday, they were disgusted after – all was way to easy… bosses died in a bit over 2 min eh … most people did almost double dps they usually did….

I have seen warriors we out whole swathes of mobs and losing very little hp while pumping out awesome damage, my mate was just laughing. Its got to be quite fun really. Should be nerfed really.
Sadly Sam, I think the nerf isoming… prolly not just for Warriors. my guild is a end T5, beginning T6ontent guild… we should on average get about 3hest, whh was what we were shooting for. We got to the 4th boss with about 5-6 minutes left… killed him in 3 minutes lol. We’re the same level 70′s that walked thru there many-O-times before, and never EVER has it been that easy. I hope they don’t, but I’m sure it’s in the works.
I hope they don’t nerf us, we only just got improved! an’t remember the talent but as an above er state: 10 rage bk after using Exute. Theres another that lets you use Exute REGARDLESS of health = ftw. (Not another talent, but the same one lol) … found it: Sudden Death. With full rage, should pull in some majopr dmg, pop bloodrage, and do it again when they drop below 20%. Should down those damn druids & shamans that keep getting me in PVP Forgot to say, I’ll try bladestorm + sweeping strikes ASAP and report bk.
Arms is pretty good, but you’re tually just as well off sitting in Berserker Stae and throwing additional Slams (and Whirlwinds) instead of Rends and OPs. Or, at least, I am. But I’m pushing ~67%rit raidbuffed in myurrent gearset, whh gives me ludrous amounts of damage. Deep Wounds tually outdamaged melee attks on a few fights, with an average tk (every sond) of ~1800 and a max tk of a bit over 3000.
