Gear req's for soloing lvl70 heroics?

Feral is the way to go. I was getting a boost from a boomkin not long back and she was taking a load of damage. A feral stepped in and things went smooth from there. The problem is that anything that hit hard back in the day still hits hard now so avoidance and mitigation still play their part. Edited, Oct 22nd 2009 9:09am by KevMc-Minimc - Magekey thing to remember is that you only have to kill 1 boss for the achievement and that's the final boss. You can stealth all the way to the end, clear any trash right next to the bos...

Dude, where's my +hit
2010-03-24 00:00:00
I'm really glad they took hit off of a lot of the gear. Before ICC I was often finding myself passing on 245 gear over my 232, just because it had too much hit and not enough other stats. From what I see, hit is going to be in the jewelry and back pieces, which is the way it should be. Save the optimal slots for stats that will have greater dps output. If you don't have the rings/neck/back to get up to the hit, gem for it. Gemming for hit instead of having it on your gear opens up the possibility for optimal gear setups via gem socket bonuses as well.-Why is it a penny for your thoughts, but you have to put your two cents in?

Pass or Fail?
2010-03-04 00:00:00
Why not just do your dailies so that you can afford a respec every so often, and have a good build for each instead of a crappy build that covers all areas? Doing the Netherwing dailies from honored and down, your BG daily, and the normal and heroic dailies, you will get around 140 gold, per day, which is enough to afford to respec for arena once your done your raids for the week, and back once they reset.Raid AND Arena? I could think of a better spec for raid.... and I could think of a better one for Arena. But as far as both? I'd pass on the ...

arena build
2010-03-03 00:00:00
hmmm and no wyvern sting..All the pvp builds that i saw in this foroum dont have the wyvern sting..why? instant cast and 950 dmg...I believe is the only pure cc that hunters have.. 1=intimidate is in next succesfull attack..that means you dont know when.. 2=traps is when the opposite player fall in trap..that means maybe never.. 3= scatter shot..only 4 sec and in less range than wyvern 4=silencing shot only 3 sec and it works only in spell class..not in warriors the most represented class in arena So lets assume that we are 2 hunters with the previous build i wrote..and we fight with the most common team war/resto druid or war/pally..w...

Pet holding Aggro
2010-02-25 00:00:00
I 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.

making Robe of the Ahmage,
2010-02-21 00:00:00
If 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? robertlofthouse wrote:Now, I'm nearly there ... I have the qu...

Impressions From A Second Shipment 360 Owner
2010-02-06 00:00:00
I 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 ico...
