Ridicule Me!

[Merusk]

Useful information instead of pointing and laughing.  I see nary a mock here.  Damn you all.

 :-D

Lantyssa the Hunter - My favorite character.  Draenei + Hunter = <3

Not using a Cat or something that can learn Dash, Lant? Just curious on the Swiftness rather than the last point in Unleashed Fury.

Also, why Imp monkey instead of Imp. revive pet?  Unless you're in melee often (usually only pvp) it's better there than in monkey since you're going beastie.

[Lantyssa]

I build for what I find fun!  Advice and builds-of-the-month are great and all, but ultimately I need to only please myself.  (Not that I mind any critiques and love to explain my wacky decisions.)

My two pets are a Deviate Dreadfang (indigo wind serpent) and a lesser used Death Ravager.  Always having rested XP means the Ravager is falling way behind my level.  I know the downsides to the Ravager, but I love purple and at my level it is rather unique.

I like my pets to be fast, so I got Swiftness.  I haven't bothered collecting Dive for the Dreadfang yet.  (My original character was a Troll Hunter who used Dishu, before speed normalization.)  I'll pick up the last point of Unleashed Fury eventually.  Right now I am moving up to get some of the goodies before getting Go For The Throat then coming back to finish off Beast Mastery.

I chose Improved Monkey over Improved Revive for two reasons:
1) My pet rarely dies.  Only two or three times so far, and that was due to wanderers piling on us.
2) If my pet is down, dodging the mob now beating upon me becomes a lot more important to me than getting it revived.

I do like to melee though, as it breaks up the monotony of always standing back and shooting my bow.  Not every fight, but enough most Hunters would think I'm crazy.

[MisterNoisy]

Yeah, it's a NElf Hunter...

Only just starting to get into Heroics - small guild keeps us at the 5-man level (which is a good thing, imo).  For the life of me, I can't get Sonic Spear to drop.  :(

[Jayce]

MrHat and I play on Tich.

Don't forget me!!
Main: Jaes

And some members of my current guild may have killed one of these guys in the past when they were on Sargeras:
Fenjay - Warrior of many MCs
Metrex - Priest of much wasted potential

[Trouble]

Me Shadow Priesty

I was holy for a year until about a month ago. High end raiding has dictated that holy priests were to be replaced with holy paladins, so we run with 4 holy paladins, 1 holy priest, and 3 shadow priests. I kind of miss healing but doing the mad deeps is pretty cool too. My spec is a "hybrid" for arena and pve, but all that really means is I had to shift a couple points around so I could get Silence while maxing out Shadow Focus.

Spec is normally diff.

Another Tichondrian here:

My two mains (the mage is actually my main, but I have been spending time gearing my druid since the guild seems to have problems keeping ahold of them :P )

Kaimei - 70 mage
Fenella - 70 Feral Druid

[Calantus]

I can't offer anything worthy of ridicule because I haven'tplayed enough recently to develop something worth laughing at. What I have is this:

- My alt paladin I'm raising to help someone who is rerolling.
- My priest who hasn't really been played since about a month after AQ came out and hasn't had talents since the 2.0 talent wipe.

Yeah... not much to look at. :P

[Dren]

Drenz the Rogue

Boo. You need some help.

Yeah, I knew most of what you told me, I just haven't gotten around to respecc'ing.  I was on a huge rush to 70, then started work on my other alts, so I haven't returned much.  That sounds like something I could do tonight though.  It's about time.

As for specc'ing PvP, I always think I want to do it, but my urge to level alts takes over right now.  It is in my far off plan that never seems to happen.

As for my priest?  Yeah, I have no idea what I'm doing there yet.  I'm really only shadow specc'ed until I get to 68+.  Then that character is for filling out our guild's groups into instances mostly.  Oh, and making potions.

NE chick.  Lawlz.

[Chenghiz]

They call me Awastebasket.

[Morfiend]

For you Rogues.

I picked up Malchazeen last night, so im going to respec daggers. Can any one link me the best raid spec daggers build? I have heard that 15/41/5 is good, but a few rogues I know to be very good PVEers are going 16/41/4 or even 17/41/3. Can any one theorycraft me a build?

[bhodi]

I'm still all for mutilate combat, but I haven't been tracking since last patch. Last I heard, this was the end-all be-all. Excellent sustained DPS w/ some front burst for the weaker trash mobs. Those two combat builds are decent, but we're not in molten core anymore -- rarely do you get to just beat on a mob for 30 seconds, things drop fast and you need a bit more burst DPS than they offer.

[Bstaz]

I melt faces and am very sad the battle grounds are all but dead...

[tazelbain]

How did the Battlegrounds die?

[Kail]

Well, I strongly suspect that most of my guys suck, so any advice would be welcome.

My main:

65 Enhancement Shaman

I've been told I should raise his crit rating, but I'm having trouble finding +crit mail.  He does have a Hatebringer, but I usually only use it for PvP because it doesn't work so well with Shamanistic Rage.

My alts:

32 Protection Paladin.  Having fun with him when I can find a group, but he's murder to solo.

38 Feral Druid, my Alliance main.  Until checking this site, I actually had no idea that I was in a guild, much less one called.... um, Kitten Clan?  So, there's me getting some useful information, I guess.

[Furiously]

32 Protection Paladin.  Having fun with him when I can find a group, but he's murder to solo.

35 is when protection really shines and taking out groups of 5-6 mobs and walking out with more mana and hps then your started with becomes a reality. (reckoning 5/5). Make sure you get a spike installed on your shield.

[caladein]

Yeah... that's what I learned on my Shadow Priest once I moved to Heroics and early-Kara: you can build yourself for sustained damage all you want, but you need some sub-25s burst capability as well or you'll never get anywhere on damage. (It's probably more like sub-30s burst, but Vamp Touch is 24s and it almost never finished outside of bosses or massive two-pulls.)

Errr.. yah.  Were you healing when you logged off?  You've got a lot of odd pieces in places. A lot of gear that would be better off for elemental or resto.

Easy crit gear = bandit gear.  Stam/agility and attack power.  There's some nice melee gear you can get fairly easy in Nagrand/Terrorkar and you're right at that level. Other quests that I don't see you have gear for that might help also.

Couple of easy quests (some are small group) to get you some better gear: (listing names to help with recognition, might link items.. but you should be able to tell :) ).
Crit Trinket: Cruel's Intention
Melee Back: Bring me that Egg.  You'll hate the fucking trampoline. Easily duoable. 
Helm: Welcoming the Wolf Spirit
Wrist: Veil Lithic: Preemptive Strike
AP Trinket: Bleeding Hollow Supply Crates
Melee Ring: A Personal Favor
Another Ring: Terokkarantula. Duoable. I solo'd him as a feral druid.
Shoulders: Muck Diving

Try do to the Ring of Blood event as soon as you can.  Great rewards.

Trying to pull off enhance without around 20%+ crit would be painful.  Now, I don't particularly like enhance anymore and haven't been playing it since I got serious about leveling up my druid, but.. I think you need to gear up and play it primiarly as a melee DPS class. A small mana pool won't really hurt you as a high crit + high AP + SR will take care of your mana needs. I've seen guildies run with a lot of resto gear mixed in and ended up sacrificing a LOT of DPS for marginal group utility. 

Unleashed rage is quite nice, I'd recommend having it.  Your spec is OK, but I'd drop Improved Healing Wave, pick up Totemic Focus, and drop Ancestral healing.  Totems help an enhance shaman out a lot and it'll be your main form of group utility.  Healing Focus helps, but it really just helps you die less.  A lot of time it won't help your survivability since it's beyond crap to begin with.   At least as a tauren you've got war stomp. Mental quickness might not be worth the talent points.

[rk47]

i've been playing this guy for 2 months.
http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/#character-sheet.xml?r=Kilrogg&n=Vegmund

Trying to get a better trinket from Arcatraz. Maybe a little cloak upgrade from Mechanar.
The chest is being worked on, I just need one more primal nether to complete my netherstrike set.
I'm toying with idea of making Spellstrike set to replace the Tidefury kilt (No sockets :( ) and also make Spellstrike Helm for the set bonus, hence the 353 Tailoring.

Am I being too crit-centric?

Now that they have changed Improved Sap to a trainable skill, you can respec again!

Talent changes like that usually get a free respec. Is that not the case with this patch?

Here's my face melter.

I haven't heard officially. I hope so- I was going to respec at 70 (which I will hit over the weekend...gasp!), but maybe I will wait for the patch to go live and save 15g  :-D

Except that imp sap isnt a trainable skill.  Sap (the skill) now comes with the effects of old Imp Sap as default.  New Imp Sap (changed to Dirty Tricks) increases the range at which you can sap and blind stuff.

Much like when Resto Druids got Innervate replaced by Swiftmend, no free respec should be warrented, you will just magically have the new effect of Dirty Tricks, everyone will have "imp sap", and your spec will go on as normal (unless you only had Imp Sap for Imp Sap, and now want to respec out of that particular talent)

[Morfiend]

Morv, updated weapons and talents.

[Phred]

Melee Back: Bring me that Egg.  You'll hate the fucking trampoline. Easily duoable. 

If you have an epic mount this is trivial to do. Use the trampoline to get the slowfall buff then run off the top of the hill above the tree and land in the nest. Only works if you have 100% mount speed though.

[Rasix]

That would have saved me a lot of swearing.

[Phred]

Ya in beta I must have died 10 times (naked the last 9) before landing in the nest and spawning a damn elite that kicked my ass in under a minute. heh.

Recently unguilded my main:

Played my Druid for all of a day before I gave up on her (I should have leveled her during the overpowered bear stage):

I've decided on a new game:  logout with the weirdest buff set I can think of.  Just in case anyone actually ever does look at my profile.

*Raises Hand*

I won't respec right away, but will want to eventually.  I see no need having that talent for me at all.  I don't PvP so I don't Blind much ever.  Sapping range has never been a problem for me in PvE either.  Maybe I'll try it out though and change my mind.  If it really gives me an appreciable range for the skill, I might keep it.
