• • Beginning dungeons help ?

  • And you think posts by random people on web sites will be any better?

    The minimum levels listed at:

    Seem to be fairly reasonable, and look like they've been updated to reflect the round of nerfs that lowered instance levels a few months back.

  • Isn't there a similar system in EQ2 with mirror's in peoples houses?

    This will be great for healers and tanks. So - for example, a healer could have their regular raid spec and a secondary spec that could be used for either farming or for PvP.

    Although there are other implications of the new expansion - e.g. if someone is serious about PvP, will they also re-glyph for arena? Not sure how expensive that would be. I'd imagine at least some players would level their own inscription bots.

    As to the person who said DPS warriors are useless - he's completely wrong. Most sunwell guilds bring DPS warriors to a raid - both for their personal DPS, their off-tanking, and the buffs and debuffs they provide.

  • Well I've made my point. Not much point in arguing indefinitely - I've got better things to do.

    Maybe in a few months time one of us will be able to come back here and say "I told you so".

    No, I think what you are worried about is that the lessening of the difference between DPS means that good players and bad players will be easier to pinpoint, and that bad players will no longer be able to hide behind " but you need me because my class is the only one that brings X utility".  Your biggest concern seems to be that your 'rotation' is now more than one button.. and that somehow the people who can master a more complicated rotation that requires them to actually react will get raid spots ahead of you.

    There is not 'major' disparity of DPS.. read the beta forums, take a look at the combat logs posted ALL THE TIME where players who are raiding in the beta show that everyone is very very even.  I don't know why you keep posting something without any beta testing to back it up.

    Again, I challenge you.. tell me one class that you think is underpowered in DPS.. and I'll point you to at least threads where people say that class is OP.    Every class thinks other classes are OP, and they are underpowered.  that is the nature of the game.  But every combat log, theorycraft and statistical analysis shows that the classes are very close together.

    Why don't you read what I say my concerns are instead of making stuff up? I don't need you to tell me what my concerns are, and frankly, you don't know me at all, so trying to second guess what might actually be behind my words is futile.

    As I have already said - I'm quite confident that no matter which class I pick I'll be able to compete effectively with other members of the class. Not saying I'd be the best with all classes (I'm not that good !), but I'm quite sure I'd be above average.  All you have to do with most classes is read the forums and apply the information therein and you're already way ahead of the pack...

    My concern is that being better than other members of your class may not be good enough any more - both for myself and for others.

    And my point isn't that any particular class is OP, since that's likely to change with the next patch. And I don't really care if someone says "class X is OP" on the forums - since people have always whined about whoever killed them last in PvP. And your claim that "every combat log shows that classes are very close together" is frankly complete bollocks.

    My concern is as much based on Blizzards record of being able to balance classes. They have never been able to do so in the past (cf shaman stacking, absence of sunwell mages, arena disparaties). So why assume they've suddenly discovered the light and are blessed with divine perfection.

• • Wotlk - released too early

  • As an example of it being released too early, consider the following blue post from only two weeks ago:

    - Trap Mastery - This will now be the 41-point Survival talent. Granted, not very sexy for a 41-pointer but we'll do some changes there in a future patch (after WOLK ships).
     

    So they redesigned the hunter survival tree. They know they haven't finished. They know it doesn't work. And yet they'll still ship.
