You're a god damn TANK and you wear PLATE MAIL. He wears LEATHER. What did you expect to happen? Warriors are there to taunt and keep aggro. Rogues draw a ton of aggro (as well as mages) because they deal a lot of damage.

oh sorry, seriously forgot to say im playing a priest =/ what im saying is warriors are lacking royally in the ability to keep aggro, miss/parry/evade-able taunt on a 2m cd? =/ i think warrs are able to taunt a ton in defensive or something like that? dunno how it works exactly :(

Regardless of whatever you meant, rogues and mages are the damage dealers. They take a lot of skill to play well and survive, they can't take much damage, and they usually have all the aggro. Healers get aggro because monsters hate heals, and like to eliminate the healer first.

Okay fine.


My server is server 12. Nooblet is on server 12. Server 12 is a PVP server, and we're both Alliance.

Go ahead and play Horde on server 12, it doesn't matter, I'll just shred your ass with an ambush in stonetalon :)


HOWEVER The populations are going to be HORRIBLE. Mountain Servers are going to be the least populated, and therefore the easiest to play on. Lowest ping, gonna be less crowded. Keep that in mind...

they changed a lot on paladin, it seems nice now. hunter got talents same as paladin last patch. dunno about hunter, but everyone seems to want to make a dwarf gun hunter(racial passive of +5 to guns), they don't seem too horrible though, pet and ranged stuff :E

warrior however, is complete crap unless you go 1h/shield. 2h maybe, but dual wield is that horrible on warrior. 2h wasn't great though, my friend made a rogue and he's outdamaging his 2h warr(who was 20) at sub10, with 1 weapon, and seems to hold aggro better too :/

more later!

Me, with my matching armor sets. Very hard to coordinate armor sets so that you don't look like a bum, but it's doable.


Gem: Just FYI - PVP in WoW works like this: In 'Controlled' areas you cannot attack enemies unless they are flagged for PVP (Which happens by them turning it on manually, attacking you, or buffing PVP flagged allies). This means that I can't go into the Barrens and kill anyone I like. This makes it thusly more difficult. In Contested Areas, you can attack any enemy no matter what. This essentially protects lowbies from being ganked by high levels.


I have lots of stories of PVP, I'm pretty notorious for killing Horde... have had complaints on the forums about me :)

There's a quest south of Ratchet for Horde that requires you to escort a prisoner out of Northwatch Keep, a human fortress. The quest ends in Ratchet, and after I hopped off the boat I noticed an entourage following the Blood Elf. I quickly ducked inside a building and poisoned my daggers... crippling poison so no one can run, and instant poison so no one will live. I made my way to the top, where I shot that picture, then hopped down and hid in the bushes near the path. That way if they happened to spot through my stealth, I'd still be hard to see. They approached closer, so I moved into place. I then used my 'KOD' macro, which causes me to blow a kiss to the target, say 'May Elune have mercy on your soul' in Darnassian (Elvish native tongue), then I Ambushed him for a high-damage critical strike. Killed the NPC (Ruining the quest... and that quest is a pain in the ass), jumped into a flurry of blades and eliminated their mage, which was the biggest threat. Everyone was freaking out at this point, and began to attack me. I threw a flashbomb and faded into the shadows... then slowly stalked them down one-by-one.

After causing an hours or so worth of trouble, I got chased out of the Barrens (Headed to Stonetalon) by an ARMY of Horde. Nearly to Stonetalon, I jumped into a group of fallen trees and stealthed, then slipped out before they could find me.

In Stonetalon, I ran into a group of four undead - a mage, priest, rogue, and warlock. A good group. As a whole, they were a few levels under me, but they could easilly whoop my ass if they used teamwork.

I basically skirted from tree to tree stalking them, laughing at them, I even got close enough that they could hear the laugh emotes. In time, I would now and then sneak out, use my KOD emote, blow em a kiss and talk to them in Darnassian, then kill the one I kissed, and dissapear. I hunted this group for a long time before a mage about 5 levels higher then me showed up and tried to track me down with no luck.

On that day alone I probably got over 2 dozen kills by myself.



By the way, play on Test Server 12 with Nooblet and I. I'm pretty sure that even though it's a mountain server it's located in California, since the server time is Pacific. Furthermore, it's not overcrowded. The Coastal Servers are so packed it'll be a nightmare when you begin playing for Open Beta, don't say I didn't warn you.

There ya go!

Druids at the moment are pretty gimp. Blizz thinks they're overpowered, the players think they're crap. I'm probably gonna play one in retail but that's for hoping they'll someday buff it.

Well yeah, open beta is coming around. Since I mooch off my friend's FP account I get to play now, playing Alliance on Test Server 12 Mountain Time.


It seems that there's a group of NS players playing undead on another server, but nuts to them, since most of the NS people I can't stand on the forums much less in-game, I invite anyone to join me instead. It seems that for some stupid reason several of you are playing undead because you're closet necropheliacs or some other equally dumb reason, because undead are probably the least interesting race next to gnomes.


So anyway, yeah. Just because I can, they added an awesome movie to the client that's fun to watch, I got some screencaps from it just for the hell of it.

Okay - Tiberian Dawn - Set in the future, a meteor from space carrying strange crystals crashes near the Tiber river. The crystals are found to contain very valuable materials. The Brotherhood of Nod, a terrorist organization, uses Tiberium to gain power and influence. You battle it out over Africa and Europe to destroy the Brotherhood of Nod as the GDI. And if you destroy his temple with the Ion Cannon, you get a cool cutscene :)

Tiberian Sun - Moving along, Kane, the leader of Nod, survived the final attack on his temple on Bosnia, and is back. Using new technologies, including hybridizing humans with Tiberium to create mutant atomic supermen, Kane is bent on destroying everything and taking over the world - again. As the GDI on a larger budget this time, you get to kick his ass and finish him off.


Red Alert - Einstein decides that he was totally wrong on this whole 'time' thing and goes back and kills Hitler before his rise to power. This alters the timeline, leaving Josef Stalin free to roam across Europe. As the Allies, you get to crush the Soviet war machine.

Red Alert 2 - Even further down this corrupted timeline, the premier of Russia, hellbent on reclaiming power for Russia, is influenced by his creepy ugly sidekick Yuri, who also just happens to be psychic, as well as probably a closet pedophile. Commence blowing stuff up.


Generals - Set in the real world with real-world weapons, where you fight real nations and 'a terrorist organization' that happens to use... real weapons we were told to be scared of (SCUD missiles? F-22's? F-117-As?).


Yes, I can definitely see how Generals is a C&C game. What with the fact that C&C up till Generals was about its OWN plot and its OWN universe, now suddenly we're fighting in real situations? What did you idiots need, a mission where you stop the 9/11 hijacking? I like how I'm always the only one on the internet to ever use my brain and make the connections between these things. I also happen to be the only one who thought Starship Troopers sucked ass, and wasn't even entertaining. Coincidence?

Depends. The light from the atmosphere colors the moon. Remember when Pinatubo erupted? Sunsets were red for days and days. The recent semi-eruption of St. Helens won't be enough to make it dark enough though, so it'll probably be orange, mainly.
