Won't have a negative impact on Ret's DPS, and will force Prot into using Vengeance or Righteousness. As for the leveling Ret Paladin, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. There are plenty of 2H options on the road to endgame, and if anything, it serves as a hint to players who are new to the game that ...]]> Tank Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:13:03 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767608815-please-do-away-with-faceroll-aoe-tanking.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767608815-please-do-away-with-faceroll-aoe-tanking.html Ghostcrawler : Quote: And I am damn well going to QQ and vent when i have been nerfed almost every single patch since wotlk launch (Go ahead, look through patch history on wowwiki, Note theres been undocumented changes and hotfixes between them you may not find on the notes) You are welcome to share with us how you feel.

Mob pickup has never EVER been a problem as long as ppl in your raid were not idiots. I believe he was trying to refer to Challenging shout, which forces all mobs within 8 yards to focus on you. Here are ways we could mak...]]> Tank Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:53:03 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767539635-bm-hunters-still-need-help.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767539635-bm-hunters-still-need-help.html Ghostcrawler : Quote: I would be pretty surprised if guilds doing hard modes w/ access to lvl 80 BiS gear have hunters raiding as BM, or would be happy with a hunter choosing a spec that isn't min/max'd. My suspicion is that the hunters with the gear you are describing will have a propensity to go Marks, because that currently yields the highest damage and raid...]]> DPS Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:24:02 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767539635-bm-hunters-still-need-help.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767539635-bm-hunters-still-need-help.html Ghostcrawler : If you're talking best possible gear, we think BM is pretty close to Survival in 3.3.3. Marks is ahead, and that's largely a function of armor pen, but again you are talking about absolute best gear. If you aren't in Icecrown 25 hard modes, then gear is likely to have just as much effect on your damage as spec. Ideally, things are balanced at all l...]]> DPS Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:01:12 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767159642-how-about-a-buff-instead-of-a-nerf.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767159642-how-about-a-buff-instead-of-a-nerf.html Ghostcrawler : Quote: The "why nerf us when you can buff them" argument is fine and dandy if the issue is only balancing each class against each other but falls apart when balancing classes against content. The goal in this case is not to make all Tanks equal in AoE Threat but to make AoE Threat something that needs to be considered when tackling the content ra...]]> Tank Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:46:21 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767557794-just-get-rid-of-dodge-and-parry-altogether.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767557794-just-get-rid-of-dodge-and-parry-altogether.html Ghostcrawler : If you don't think Shield Block is interesting enough today, that's a fine discussion to have. I'm a little surprised to see any nostalgia for the old model though. Hitting a relatively common dps button that plays into other talents and abilities is one thing. Having to constantly mash "make me slightly more survivable" is another. I'll grant you ...]]> Tank Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:23:26 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767557794-just-get-rid-of-dodge-and-parry-altogether.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767557794-just-get-rid-of-dodge-and-parry-altogether.html Ghostcrawler : Quote: As a former DM (and current player) of version 3.5 D&D this discussion is fascinating. I should credit some of my “is the encounter interesting?” discussion to Monte Cook, who was responsible for a lot of version 3. He argues, insightfully, that an interesting encounter is one in which player resources are taxed but that they ul...]]> Tank Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:33:40 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767608815-please-do-away-with-faceroll-aoe-tanking.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767608815-please-do-away-with-faceroll-aoe-tanking.html Ghostcrawler : Quote: Uh.. what? You dont compare people at a lower tier of gear, you compare them at the highest, or at best every tier. You compare us at the lowest tier and we get things like warrior scaling and class imbalance at the end game, which is what matters. I don't even design MMOs and i can tell you what would happen if you balance at the low tie...]]> Tank Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:50:22 +0000 http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767638990-blizzard-doesn-t-cave-to-qq.html http://www.worldofraids.com/wow-blue-tracker/us-forums/23767638990-blizzard-doesn-t-cave-to-qq.html Ghostcrawler : It's either "caved to QQ" or "ignored the many intelligent posts" depending on whether it was a nerf or a failure to buff you. :) I guess the corollary is "I'm always right.
