So lately, all the 25man ICC PuGs on my server are requiring 25man achievements to get in.
WTF?

My 10man guild is progressing thru ICC and my gear and dps are good-- 2pc tier 9, 2pc tier 10 and mostly 245 and higher gear, doing at least 5-6k dps in 10mans, unless I have to run around a lot, similar resto set altho only 1 piece of tier10 so far-- and I have plenty of 10man achievements, but I can't get into any sort of 25man run because I haven't done 25man?

Far as I can tell, the fights are the same, so other than placement stuff, which changes from RL to RL anyway depending on what strat they use, is there any difference I missed that would make this a reasonable requirement?

Just wanted to share in my joy. :)

I was on a fairly new 80 holy pally (1800 spellpower) and got into Heroic Halls of Reflection.

Everyone else seemed pretty low on gear too: none of the dps could get 2k dps. We managed to own the indoor part pretty well, but when we tried to do the outdoor part we all got struck by lightning and died.

We tried again. And halfway through we got struck by lightning and died. The tank then pretty much accused the DPS of sucking (none of them broke 2k dps) and dropped group. It was just me and this mage that was doing 1k dps.

We tried again and got 3 others: a boomkin dps that had no idea what was going on (1500 dps), a deathknight dps (500 dps, wtf?), and a deathknight tank who didn't even have 25k health.

Wipe again. New tank leaves, we get a real tank. We try again, and it takes so long to dps the mobs that I finally run out of mana and we wipe right before we were supposed to get struck by lightning. The tank bitches everyone out and leaves, and we finally break up.

How did this happen? Usually most people I meet in LFG are hella OVERGEARED, and I'm surprised this happened. I can't even get into Halls of Reflection on a drop-down menu because it says "You must obtain better gear", but I got into it on a random?

I've seen people made advertisements in trades that were obviously macros and that's not too hard to figure out, but... what I CAN'T figure out is how to get my professions to link properly. Using the "link" function when I'm writing the macro doesn't quite work, all it does is show up as regular, non-linkable text. Is there a specific way to code that?

Also, are there any guide for macros for playing? Like, how to declare <target> has gotten <spell> on them now, etc... I tried making a macro where I use my Nevermelting Ice Crystal then immediately cast Vampiric Touch but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how. It worked once then never again, bah.

Dear Ladies,

( halp? )

I'm currently working on getting all 10 of my characters on my Alliance server to 80, with 7 total levels to go. When I've finished, I plan to put all of the heirloom gear, a starter bankroll, and some other stuff on my dwarf warrior, send him to another realm, and change his race to orc. Currently, I'm trying to find a server to transfer to so I can start the whole leveling process over again on the Horde side. If things go well, a 70 undead warlock will follow shortly after.

Right now, my Alliance characters are on Sentinels-US, and I have a full stable of nostalgia characters (ones I don't want to delete and play on rainy days) on Earthen Ring, so both of those are out. I'm leaning toward Farstriders for my Horde server, but was wondering if any of you out there had any insights. My criteria are:

RP server if possible, not because of the RP, but because even the trolls seem more literate on them; PVE is okay, though
No PVP servers
Hopefully some friendly folks on the server, hence this posting in the comm; possibly a guild, but this character is unlikely to do much in the way of raiding, so probably not a good fit with a hardcore raiding guild
In the Central or East Coast time zones, but this is relatively minor

Any suggestions?

ETA: the move/race change of the warrior probably won't happen for 2 weeks - a month while I level up the last two characters, but I'll be creating the lowbies on there ahead of time to get a feel for the server.

If this has been asked before, I apologize, but I'm redoing my UI and I had a question for you lovely ladies.

Is there any way to detach the current quest objective list from the mini map, so I can move the mini map where I want it, without the objective list following? Hopefully that made sense.

Also, in your opinion, which is easier to customize: VuhDo, or Grid? My guildies recommended VuhDo to me (I'm a baby priest, level 15, and speccing Shadow, but healing training is always good), but I'm having problems customizing it. I'm not very good with addons.

Current Mood: curious

so. massive nerd squee?

i started playing just before wrath came out so i never got to do any of the old world raids so when some one wants to farm old tier gear for rp i'm usually up for it. also i'm a good source of amusement because i always get lost in brd. so seeing something like this is incredibly cool for me

i didn't win it sadly. i did how ever get my judgment skirt which is prettier then my lightsworn one by far.

Yesterday I hit the big 535 (well, 537) defense on a tank and queued for my first heroic as a tank. I already did the same instances as a healer. I got a lot of shit before I even started the first pull and I've leveled as a tank and did all the instances before, so I knew what I was doing. I was just wondering...

So I've been trying to convince my sister to play WoW with me. She's definitely interested in playing, but (sensibly) doesn't want to play while she's in school; doesn't want to commit the time, not sure she can spare the money, etc. She said she definitely doesn't want to play until she graduates in May, and I said that's fine, cataclysm probably won't be out until them anyway.

( if there's one thing that Blizzard is good at... )
