Those don't properly link to characters from what I can tell.

[Rasix]

Druid in solo gear.

Edit: thanks Miasma

[Miasma]

The links don't work for me because of the extra ?# infront of character sheet.  It's why they have that crazy "Copy this URL" button, I don't know why they can't fix that.

Edit: Removed the fixed links

[Hutch]

My highest level character (a warrior)
My pvp toon (a hunter)
My current main (a mage)

[Furiously]

Druid in solo gear.

Edit: thanks Miasma

Hey - check out THIS GIMP in your guild!

[Zetor]

I melt stuff (that glove enchant is money!)
I smash stuff


-- Z.

[Merusk]

Bah, I even checked them by purging cache. Odd.  Thanks for fixing them, Rasix.

[Lantyssa]

Tsukihana the Druid - Fun, but has not seen much play since BC released.
Lantyssa the Hunter - My favorite character.  Draenei + Hunter = <3
Jaelleah the Paladin - If I play her further, will be a true hybrid in talents.  11/33/17
Kalindriel the Warlock - Played her as an alt until BC came out.  Feels unloved now.

I have a few other alts, but not really worth mentioning since they're low level or haven't been played in a year.

Here are my 60+ chars

Yah, that's my poor attempt at resto.  Don't got the gear for it.  I'll be grinding out the rest of my Outlands quests once I respec back to enhance.  Ohh dear, I'm wearing a solo'ing weapon too.  EPIC.

If you look hard enough, I've got an elf in there.  Yah, an elf.  Non-obvious name though.  :-D

[bhodi]

Drenz the Rogue

Boo. You need some help.

It looks sort of like a PvP spec, maybe a pvp hybrid, but you don't pvp so I'm mystified.

Pick which rear-facing attack you are using. You've dumped 3 points into backstab, and you're mutilate specc'd. Move them to poisons. You put 3 pts in imp evis, and you went deep in the sub tree for serrated blades. Pick one. Nix ghostly strike, it sucks. Nix setup, you shouldn't be getting aggro anyway. In fact, since I assume you want to keep imp sap (otherwise you'd go into combat down to two weapon spec), your sub tree should be opportunity, imp sap, and initiative. Put those points into vile poisons, ask yourself if you really need remorseless attacks -- it's great while leveling for chaining but you're 70 now. I'd ditch that one too. Make find weakness 5/5.

Use this as your baseline and fill in to taste. If you're doing raiding, and can live w/o imp sap, you want this instead. I wouldn't personally use fleet footed, I'd use the enchant instead, but whatever... if you're dead set on keeping serrated blades, you can do this. Always have poison up.

Dreng the Priest

No. Tell whoever wants you to have imp fort to F off and get a holy one to do it. You want Miasma's build, this, or even moving those 3 points from wands back into the shadow tree for shadow affinity. Aggro bad.

[Morfiend]

Hey, your in The Core also.
&EDIT* Wait a second. Your in The Core, but alliance. NM. Must be a different server.

MrHat, Jayce and I play on Tich.


My Rogue (main)
My Paladin (alt)

[bhodi]

My Rogue (main)

Thumbs up; though I've never been sword specc'd, that's pretty much the best build out there for it.

[Morfiend]

Drenz the Rogue

Boo. You need some help.

I would do it like this.

The envenom one is awesome. Also Murder isnt half bad. With this build I was critting envenom for 3800 on debuffed mobs.

[bhodi]

Not terrible. I personally like and take murder, if possible (not enough pts in a ass/combat raiding build unfortunately) but a lot of people don't want it -- it's very situational based on what instance you're in.

Unless you PvP, I wouldn't bother spending all those points to get off a good ambush -- in a group, all you do is make the tank angry and you dead; you should be opening with CS instead, or garrote if you're paranoid and it's a high HP mob. Those extra points put into poisons instead really up your DPS -- you'd be surprised at how much!

I found the thing I missed the very most was blade fury. God, I loved that.

[raydeen]

My only toon worth mentioning (and even then...)

http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/#character-sheet.xml?r=Durotan&n=Thanosa

I think I'm too casual for even WoW.

[MrHat]

Shuggles 61 War Bear Druid
Current Favorite: Ragekage 49 Warrior

Retired: Paxx 70 Resto Shaman
Retired: Cerrano 65 Assassin Rogue
Retired: Paxxima 61 Frostie Mage

And no, I am not that sad.  The bottom three were leveled basically over the course of the entire game, and the top two are a friends account that no longer plays.  I got bored with my shaman when I couldn't figure out which way to go with him.  I got bored with my rogue because I had burnt out leveling.  I loved my mage, but wanted to try something new and this game is NOT worth $30/mo.

Anyways, make fun of me!

Edit: God, elves are gay.

[Rasix]

Shuggles 61 War Bear Druid

This is the spec I'll eventually go to for my druid.  It would just be moving my 3 points from shifter to Primal Tenacity.

Good cat DPS + every tanking talent you need.  In bear for with my tanking gear I'm sitting around 13k HP, 16.5k armor, 410 def (nearly uncrittable for a druid),  with around 21% dodge.  Yah, need to work on the armor and dodge some.

You need to work on your gear, but you know that.  Buy bandit stuff off the AH.  There's also some nice low 60's BOE blue druid gear that's never expensive.

[MrHat]

Ya, the gear will come with levels, and the spec is what I'm looking for to, just got omen of clarity, so it's smooth sailing from here.  I've already tanking Ramparts a bunch of times, so I'm comfortable w/ the gear at the level.

[Nonentity]

Hey, your in The Core also.
&EDIT* Wait a second. Your in The Core, but alliance. NM. Must be a different server.

MrHat and I play on Tich.


My Rogue (main)
My Paladin (alt)

Heh, I used to play Alliance on Tich, that was my first server. I used to be in Fallen Hero/Ascension back in the day. I had an alt in Robot Kitten Happy Train. The ol' mare (Nonentity, dwarf chick warrior) is still around, just haven't done any BC content on her since I switched servers.

Anyways, I'm on Illidan.

Nonentity - 70 Shaman

That's my raiding shaman, he's currently bitch resto spec, to get elemental gear. I then have a 61 Hunter and 62 Warrior I'm leveling on the side.

We have our star HUK5 5v5 arena team, who is currently jockeying for first place worldiwde with the Notorious guys.

[Paelos]

Paelos the warrior

I'm in my MT gear most of the time, unless I log out in my fishing crap.

[MrHat]

Remember to use the copyurl function in armory guys.

[Driakos]

Here is my own character up for ridicule.  Gloom

[caladein]

My Priest that's currently defensive Discipline because my friends all made useless DPS classes (that I could still out-DPS when I was Shadow mind you :P).

My Rogue that I'll eventually level to farm with,
and my Druid that I promised to top off after I transfered her, but that was a lie and I know it.

[tazelbain]

Now all you guys need is a section where your characters can blog about the inane stuff they do.

[Rasix]

Overshot the def cap there a little.

Yeah I'm trying to find more dodge gear lately to move things around.

PS - What is the cap now, I've forgotten.

[Rasix]

490 for warriors, 415 for feral druids with 3/3 Survival of the Fittest.  This number also goes down if you've got some Resilience.

This is to be virually uncrittable versus level 73 mobs.  Mobs retain a 0.01 percent chance to crit regardless of your crit deduction, if I'm remembering correctly.

Why exactly is this? Does it change with epics? I'm often confused by caps and whatnot.

[Furiously]

Think I have 18 pts to hit the def cap....

Katiri the Pali

[Lantyssa]

Now all you guys need is a section where your characters can blog about the inane stuff they do.

I tried that on my guild website, but their software sucked and the person running it had no computer experience.  When you cannot make seperate paragraphs, it gets pointless.

[Rasix]

If you have 3/3 Survival of the Fitest you only need an additional 2.6% reduction to crits to become immune. Oddly enough, you have 0/3 SotF. You should seriously consider speccing into this talent if you plan to tank.

Without SotF you need the full 5.6% reduction against level 73 mobs, or 5% against level 70 mobs. That is 490 defense without SotF, or 415 defense with it.

The impact on the defense skill and weapon skill systems is slightly more complicated. Many people do not realize these skills actually grant percentage-based benefits already. For example, every 25 points of defense skill grants a 1% dodge chance, 1% parry chance, 1% block chance, 1% increased chance to be missed and 1% decreased chance to be critically hit by physical attacks. Weapon skills have a similar effect for the attacker. Items will now grant skill rating rather than skill directly, and that will convert to an actual skill increase.

5.6 * 25 = 140 + 350 = 490
