Sartharion 3D Strategy

Strat-Fu has a good strategy and video on their site for doing Sartharion with 3 drakes up.

Everything on here applies not only to 3 drakes, but also 2 drakes. The only thing that changes is that we kill drake #2 prior to the fight. Once we have 2 drakes down and are killing them fast enough all we have to do is plan on the middle drake being in the fight.

I definitately recommend that you grab the hi-res video on the site.

They also have a strategy page for 6 minute Malygos.

The testing begins at 7PM and we're most likely gonna have to pug a number of people (don't worry this isn't undermine). The amount of time it lasts isn't posted but if you're coming please try to RSVP. Testing is taking place on Broxigar (PVE).

Grammar Nazis

Just to clarify; ending sentences with prepositions is perfectly acceptable.

For example:

What did you step on? ends in a preposition and is accepted as grammatically correct.

Instead, the rule should be to not use unnecessary prepositions anywhere in a sentence.

Fieran jumped off of the platform and into the lava is incorrect because "off of the platform" and "off the platform" say the same thing minus one useless preposition.

nevertheless, everyone enjoys some good old fashion Nazi humor.

Public Test Realm 3.1 Names and Uldaur raid updates

For those who want to join the PTR and do not know how here are the steps you will need to take.

IF YOU KNOW HOW SKIP THE BOTTOM AND READ THE BOLD STATEMENTS

1. Go to https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/charcopy/downloads.html and log in.

2. Now you are faced with two choices. Copy your character or download the PTR Installer. I would first copy your character over. (Hint, pool all your gold on the character you want to copy before you copy and keep it on him until it has successfully copied over). Copy your toon to the PvE Broxigar server. Then download the PTR Installer. You cannot download the 3.1 installer first, you have to download the 3.0.8 first. Then it updates to 3.1.

3. Once you have successfully downloaded and installed 3.1 you are set to join the PTR.

4. Start up the PTR and log into it by using your normal account. If you toon has already been successfully copied you will see your toons name with a ! after it (like Muffy!). It will force you to rename your character. If you are lucky enough to get your actual name congrats. If not you will have to change it, normally I try to put characters after it such as x, xx, xxx.

Sarinde 80 NE shadow priest

Sarinde

Empire~ 2 years, zOmg it bit me 8 months, Familiar 4 months.
Empire broke up pre BC after the pvp patch hit and ppl were more interested in stacking up honor instead of finishing the last 2 wings of Naxx. zOmg i left after some creative differences between the officers. no one logs in to raid in familiar so i feel its time to move on. These are all Frostmane guilds and im transfering to play with Kireen and avluela after a few requests on their part.

14/0/57 pve shadow

armory http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Frostmane&n=Sarinde

i am available everyday from noon central to 5am central

i turn 27 next week

ive played WoW since beta i raided all the way through Naxx pre BC as a holy priest. i raided through BT as a holy priest and resto sham during BC and have since switched to shadow to raid LK. I am known in some circles as a walking wowhead and collectively through my priest, sham, and pvp rogue amassed almost 300 days played.

i originally picked priest to fill the void of healers rampant accross Frostmane. i switched to shadow because Familiar is a 10man only guild and had an abundance of ppl that wanted to heal. so i took a hit for the team and rolled shadow. i like shadow because of the attention needed and the less spammy nature of their DPS.

Holy Priests - Updated to 3.0

This is an update/continuation of Xia's post: http://www.theorderofdiligence.com/node/315. His post is everything you need to know about a priest's spells and abilities and how they work as well as all of what's mentioned below before the changes that came with Wrath.

After playing around a bit with my holy spec and doing some more research on the changes made after wrath I've decided (finally, I apologize for the wait) to update this wonderful post. Anything is still up for discussion or debate and I openly welcome it. This is an update from Elitist Jerk's thread on healing priests cutting out many useless pieces like how to use your shadowfiend.. I'm pretty sure you know by NOW. As well, constantius doesn't believe in crit over spirit as a viable spec.

Note: All low-end healing values are given while practically naked at 80.

Side note: Sif might just die if he goes through and corrects my grammar.

Spec:

Whatever happened to that Sammis guy? I think he died or something...

Hey all. It's been a while. I'm out of boot camp, for those that didn't hear about that. I'm at nuclear power school now, waiting to find out when I can pick out a house and move Stormy and lil Sammis up here.
I was really kinda surprised you guys kept my character around after I was inactive for 2 months. I'm gonna be really busy with a new baby and my college (it's the hardest school in the navy), but I would like to get back into playing and I'll try to get my toon and my gear up to date so I can be of some use.
Well, just wanted to say hi and I hope to see you all soon.

Why Hunters need a nerf

10man EPGP

Officers have been discussing this for a while, and we think it's finally time to implement it. Starting tomorrow Tuesday the 17th, EPGP in current 10mans (Naxx, OS, & Maly) are reduced by 50%.

Maly is still a challenge, but we're defeating it regularly, and raid turnout isn't nearly as high as it was, which indicates gear from there isn't so much in demand.

100 points for on time, 100 per boss, 50 for end of raid. All gear is 50% GP (rounded down), offsets remain at 1/10th normal cost (because 1/20th would just be ridiculous and annoying to calculate).

This is a first step. At some point in the next few weeks, we'll reduce 10man EPGP again or maybe eliminate it. Current 25man EPGP will almost certainly be reduced when Ulduar goes live, *possibly* before then.

Chastitie - 80 Shaman

- My toon is Chastitie, and she is a level 80 Shaman.

- I have only been in Siochain O Paidir, reason for possibly leaving is that this guild has gone so lackadaisical lately, as like they are burned out, and taking a break.

- As far as specs, i am resto with 2100+ healin power unbuffed. have some off-spec gear for enhancement.

- i am around quite a bit, and always up for getting stuff done.

- http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Undermine&n=Chastitie

- i am 23, i'll mess around but when it comes to business, there's no bullshitting, get shit done, and done well.

- Chose to be a shaman because i had been all other class healers and wanted to try it, and loved it.

-Raid experience: Have cleared naxx 10, OS 10/25, Vault 10/25. Have expirence in naxx 25, and Maly 10.

- i have no other toon that is 80 on this server, have one 80 on Windrunner.

- I know couple people that are, and run with many others, in the guild

Heru - Shaman - level 80

1) Main character name.
Heru

2) Which guilds you were in previously and for how long.
Ctrl Alt Elite- a couple of months
Conquest- a few months
Undaunted- a few hours

3) Reason for leaving previous guilds.
CAE- merged with No Mercy

Conquest- was not able to meet most raid times, but when I was able to I was on stand-by and never raided with them.

Undaunted- I don't want to say anything bad so I will just say I did not fit in.

4) Your current spec.
Enhancement (11-60-0) mostly for questing and heroics.

5) Availability.
I work a rotating 12 hour shift 8-8(server).

6) Armory Page.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Undermine&n=Heru

7) Approximate Age (pre teens, teens, 20's, 30+)
29

The following information is optional but helpful:

1) Tell us a little about yourself.
29, married (she plays wow more than me!)

2) Reasons for class and spec.
When BC came out I did the oooo Draenei, oooo shaman. He sat for awhile then I really started to play him and liked the abilities. Enhancement came from leveling, trying to cast and getting hit with a push back as elemental. Respeced and I started to see the stormstrike numbers roll and was hooked.

3) List your raiding experience.
BC- Kara, ZA some BT after the nerf.
WotLK- OS 10/25, Vault 10/25, Naxx 10 quarters clear not Frostwyrm Lair.

4) Applicable alts.
