Pet holding Aggro2010-02-25 00:00:00I just solo the old tBC style of solo play I used to as SV.
Send in pet while you start nuking and don't even bother with trying to have the pet hold aggro.
No pet can hold aggro vs an Explosive shot crit, and there's very few mobs who will survive long enough to hit you anyway.
If they happen to make it to me, Immo trap > Disengage > Explosive.- God Emperor of Hunters and Priest Forum Mean Person.

Hunter FAQ and you2010-02-24 00:00:00The posts about the sticky will fall off of the first page (although on this forum it will likely take a month) so newer posters will not always have this information.
People like to post in forums, IN THIER OWN THREAD, makes them feel important or maybe that they will get quicker responses. I am not sure there is anything wrong with this, if you do not want to respond - don't.
I know I keep an eye on both threads.

making Robe of the Ahmage,2010-02-21 00:00:00If you're almost done making Robe of the Ahmage, keep it. It's a few stat points srife for the on-use efft, as well as mh better in aesthets. Use that until 70 until you find something semi-signifantly better. ...and why did you link Frostfire, Killerheals, a T3 pie that would take loads and loads more effort to get?
I kept wow.allakhazamomdbitem?witem=7515 for over 10 levels for its on-use efft. Isn't "semi-signifant" an oxymoron?

that instae Your stats are fine for2010-02-10 00:00:00Lol wait till you get to the destroyers in that instae. Your stats are fine for "starting" heros. I would stk to the easier ones though until you get used to heros. Everything in heros iluding non-elite mobs hit like trks. Things you should work on: higher HP and more avoidee (dodge+parry) Like I said your stats are looking good for starting out. Not saying your lking for heros just a little bit for the harder ones. Also for heros EVERYONE has to be top of their game. You...
Shadow of Odyssey Expansion Coming to Everquest II2010-02-08 00:00:00Sony Online Entertainment is preparing the release of another expansion for Everquest II, its long running MMO. It will be known as The Shadow Odyssey and it will be focused on adding some much needed high level content. The developers are planning 20 zones for the expansion, specifically for level 80 players.
Leading into the new expansion, the game is set to receive one big update, called Raising the Banner, that's set to come sometime in early October. As Raising the Banner is deployed, the structures that are now built on the outskirts of the starting cities will be completed and all guilds that are advanced ...
Impressions From A Second Shipment 360 Owner2010-02-06 00:00:00I try to look for the best in every situation. In the grand scheme of things, getting bumped from the first shipment of pre-ordered Xbox 360s to the second wasn't the end of the world. Indeed, it allowed me to focus on launch news and information, posting stories for the games page and absorbing the mood of early adopters. The reports that came back were mixed, with occasional technical difficulties and tepid gameplay marring the first next-gen launch. Overall though, gamers seemed to be pleased with their purchases. When my local game store called to let me know my console was in, I bit the bullet and swiped the plastic. Today I have for you a rundown on what it's like to go where others have gone before. Read on for my impressions of the Xbox 360 experience after a month of retail sales and a week of gameplay.
While I don't feel the need to bore you with pictures of the packaging, the out-of-the-box experience is attractive and intuitive. It only took a few moments to set things up before I was working with the setup wizard. As per the copious recommendations across the internet, I made sure that the console's power brick was not on the carpet once the system was in place. The bottom of my entertainment center has wire shelving, and the free flow of air around the brick has so far allowed my 360 to be glitch-free. It is, unfortunately, as large as everyone says it is. Pulling the massive thing out of the box, I had a flash of a bad bumper-sticker: "My second console is my 360 power brick." The cables are all surprisingly lengthy, with a nice long piece of cat5 cable making the trip to my router with more slack than the one I was using for my Xbox. One important consideration: If you're fortunate enough to be using your console with an HDTV, make sure and flip the switch on the component cable before you start up the console. It's set by default to 'TV', and if you want to experience the HD signal right away you're going to want that switch flipped. With everything plugged in and set properly I hit the large central button on the controller, and the console whirred to life.
The setup wizard asked for little more than the time zone and my Passport account. The Live account I had with the Xbox was still in good standing, putting me into the 'gold' version of the Live system. This apparently allows me the opportunity to get to some additional content, and make use of the Trueskill ranking system we reported on a while back. The only annoying part of the setup was the grueling process of entering my email address and password. Selecting letters from an on-screen keyboard seems like a good idea until you start entering your 32-character-long email address. As a final touch I was asked my preferences for controls in FPS and Driving titles. I don't know why, but I like inverted look on console games. It just works better for me. By entering the setting on my Live account, every FPS I play on the 360 will use that setting by default.
Setup completed, I had my first look at the 360 'blade' system. The interface for the console is a series of screens arranged in an interlocking pattern of tabs, or blades. Flipping between the different screens is as easy as moving the thumbstick. It's a remarkably intuitive and clean interface, and really hits home the 'next-gen' feel of the console. First thing, I hopped into the Live Marketplace and purchased some Microsoft Points. As much as I was looking forward to playing Call of Duty 2 and King Kong, I'd heard such good things about the downloadable game experience that I wanted to check them out right away. I also wanted to snag the Penny Arcade Skins and gamer portraits. These games and downloadables were purchased with the Points, which are Microsoft's way of putting an additional step between users and their credit cards. Parents who don't want their kids racking up bills via Live can purchase pre-paid Point cards in stores, ala the time cards for a MMOG. You can also buy them directly through Live if you have a credit card on file. They sound like more of a deal than they are, unfortunately. Game downloads range from about 400 to about 800 Points, and right now Live is offering 1000 Points for $12.50 (or $.05 for four points). You can buy about three games then, give or take, for $25.00. A steal compared to most console titles, but not as inexpensive as you might like. Theme packs that re-skin your blades run about 150 Points, and packs of icons for your GamerTag are about 50 Points. There are exceptions, of course. The Penny Arcade ic...
