This is something I've been considering a while now, I just can't seem to find the enthusiasm I used for WoW. I had hoped that the LAN would reawaken it but it didn't (still had a great time at the LAN and want to stay with DMW no matter what I end up playing) and I've taken my PC's CPU deciding to overheat last night as a sign.

I'm taking a couple of weeks break from WoW, going to play some other games and see how I feel when I come back. See you guys later. hf gl.

Slight update. Cleaned, let it cool a bit then monitored the cpu temp, all seems fine, gonna leave raiding tonight as if I'd prefer not to shut down mid raid. Sorry for this.

Well that sucks. CPU is overheated. Looks like I muat of knocked something.moving it atound for the LAN but it worked last night. Taking apart and checking stuff. Will see if it looks up to coming online later.

If anyone has a wireless dongle htey could bring I have unlimited internet on my phone and the option to do tethering (ie if there is a muck up I could provide internet access for people that really need it)

Probably going to be late tonight, gf is coming home from a trip and I need to pick her up from the train, she's running later than planned so may miss the beginning. (May not depending on tubes and traffic)

I'm 360, but tomorrow I'll have revered with golden lotus giving me both tailoring recipes. So 2 476's should bring me up to raid standard. Hopefully another HC or 2 might give me 1 more item that would definitely pop me over.

This is great info, increased my farming dps with it. Here's my feedback on the talents:

T1 The Void Tendrils are AMAZING! Great farming and I can see a lot of use for them controlling wild adds in raids.
T2 Really enjoying Angelic Feathers, think that the multi speed boosts > the shield/leap speeed boost as you can set them down in advance and so people can use them when needed plus not sure speed boost on top of LoF is that useful.
T3, agree, procs are great.
T4, I think I prefer AB. You fade after all.
T5 Agree, more dps from procs
T6 Think Halo is the best choice (not tried yet) As the aoe does more damage (you;re probably going to be standing 20 yards or more from boss) as well as healing the entire raid.

Macro's:

I have found that SF and VE work very well together, both shar ethe same CD and it means when your SF is out you will be getting a ton of healing at the same time.

Also think that Shield and Fade works well, they don;t share gcd but share cd's. Just make sure that you only cast fade when targeting yourself.

/cast: Power Word: Shield;
/cast [@target, player][@target, enemy] Fade;

(don't quote me on that, I need to work on the macro, since I'm farming I only shield myself so don't need to make the macro, could be [target=player][target=enemy] instead)

Bumping this thread for all those getting your cook on.

I've recently started playing this, I notice we have a TS channel, was wondering if anyone else still played and if so wanna be my friend? My username is Turbojelly

Oh!
Forgot that in the excitement. Arriving on friday 15:45 if the schedule holds. Flight number FR 683
Departure will be on tuesday so I have that sorted by other means.

If you can find a way of getting to North London I can pick you up and take you, (will be returning Sun eve) Having a look at the Stansted site, (http://www.stanstedairport.com/transport-and-directions/trains) If you can reach Tottenham Hale I should be able to pick you up from there.

Swede, talk to Slush, he arrives slightly after you on Friday and can give you a lift as he is renting a car.  I've added it to the transport thread which is here:
http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?36081-Transport-help-post-here!

I can give them both lifts if they want, finish work in north london at 16:15 so if they can head my way no rental needed (going back on sun though)

I can do a bit of a drive around to pick them up but would prefer to avoid going into London to do so.

I'll come along, I'm not great but my run ups (and miss) are hilarious (or so I've been told)

Booked, slight confusion, have a room, can change to shared if I get someone willing to risk it.

Just re afirming my booking as my names isn;t down on the list.

Just saying I've read all this and my job seems boring, stand at back and collect Amalga's. Here's some quotes from the last 7 pages that might be useful:

/targetexact Burning Tendons for tendons, Been reported that /target Burning Tendon does not work for one side.

Wondering if RGT have any advice for the new dispelling.

I feel the new tanking changes for Guardian Bear has made him a faceroll. I am currently sustaining a little over 70% dodge most the time in fights making it just about soaking up and avoiding large spell attacks. HC Morchock last night, I took around 40% less melee damage than my DK counter tank.

Why?

Well, at 1st glance Bear's look like they have been shafted. Agility no longer gives dodge. And since Bear's can't block or parry this seems like a HUGE nerf. then you notice that old mastery spell Savage Defence has changed too, now it gives 45% dodge for 6 seconds. There's my missing dodge and then some! Hmmm, it now costs 60 rage, no problem, rage isn't a prob, wait, WHAT? Getting hit/avoiding attacks no longer gives rage? Hitting the enemy gives rage? OK then. So now I have to find a way of getting 60 rage every 6 seconds. Lets see how I manage this.

1. Gear reforging: If melee hits gain rage and you need rage for defence it follows that you want to stack for hit and expertise caps then pour on the crit and haste, like a dps. Sounds strange but it works.

2. Weapon: Get the fastest 2h you can find, 2.4 seemed fast enough, but the faster the better.

3. Cast sequence. Mangle (and Savage Defence) -> Lacerate -> Thrash to apply/reapply dot otherwise Swipe -> Lacerate.
3b. Group cast sequence: Mangle (and Savage Defence) -> Swipe -> Thrash-> Swipe.

Note, don;t worry that if you don;t have enough rage for SD with Mangle, you can cast as soon as you have rage (no gcd) and refreshing it increases the timer so you will catch up on yourself. Note. Refreshes stack (but don;t stack the dodge) and 3 refreshes sets off a cd on SI, so be a little careful there.

Note: Frenzied Regeneration works the same way as SD and can be used instead, the only time you can generate rage for both is when you are using Berserk. Worth casting them just after starting Berserk and just before it ends for max use.

Defence CD's

You're left with Barkskin and Survival Instincts. It's worth /castsequence ing them both with Renewal (talent) for getting yourself up that little bit faster after a boss special. (ie /castsequence reset=10 Barkskin, Renewal; )

Other abilities are obvious, Gap closers, interrupters and our lonely single taunt, Growl. I've got all my abilities working off 6 buttons (with modifiers)

Bear has changed, the mad berserker tank getting stronger from his enemies attacks has changed, and I'm not a fan of it.
