The answer is no. I do not get tired of being right all the time.

I know it's silly, juvenile, what not. Still made me chuckle!

I think the screw is too tight for him. His screwdriver doesnt seemed to move.
Wait,i think it moved. . . . .

Off topic slightly, but the Catch Fall aura does seem to catch your fall, as the name suggests, but isn't so good at putting you back up on the platform. Perhaps they could hotfix that?

History will show that you are a tool.
History will show that I am right about this.
History will also show you to be a Rift fan,and what this has anything to do with the patch notes,is beyond me...
TL;DR: Shut he hell up and go away!!

What's with the completely random comment?

Obvious tool is obvious.

Thats one thing from 'Throne of the Four Winds' changed. Now they really need to change hefty amount from Al'akir. Its really buggy and theres really some annoying things happening on the fight that can cause wipes.
For example there is "platforms" on the stage and if you get thrown off and suddenly hit the platforms you die because it wont give you the "spin around in air back to area". Really? Thats hardly part of the mechanic there.
Tank avoiding tordano wall? Yeah np the boss starts to RANDOMLY melee the melee DPS for no reason, he seems to do that randomly sometimes too. No, that was not aggro at all. He just swats one of the melee and you get combat log "Al'akir melee hits you".
Tornado walls hitboxes does not represent the graphics and they can "suck you in" if you are "too close" and generally can suck you in if you have slightly more lag.
I have to say its the most annoying boss in this tier. Bit like malygos of this expansion - do once or twice for progression/achievement and never go back unless you are out of stuff to kill.

Yes. Please. There's so much damned RNG in that entire raid, it's not even funny. At least on Maly, you could fix what was going wrong.

Its so annoying that Kitty charging doesnt work on Al'akir. It loses me tons of DPS as i cant proc Stampede at all during the fight.
Sleutel Feb 23rd 2011 8:20AM
I have to say, as annoying as it is to have a lot of tooltips out of sync, I really appreciate the new "constantly hotfix" paradigm. Much better than have things just stay obscenely broken for weeks--or months.

Yeah, my hunter's AotH tooltip said something like 846AP last night, while my friend's hunter said 2600AP. So confused as to how much that aspect is worth.

Hawk is 2000 attack power. There is a talent in the BM tree which gives +10/20/30% attack power to Hawk (2200/2400/2600) which is probably what you are seeing.

Our raids start at 9EST. At 8:50 EST I checked to see if the hunter changes were live yet, they were not. Within an hour, they were. It really would have been nice to have some notice so we could have prepared properly instead of stumbling over ourselves trying to maximize our dps mid-raid.
Martin Feb 23rd 2011 3:42PM
"Hey you, hunter, you can't raid with us until the patch is live. We have to maximize our DPS properly."

History will show that Stella is pretty good at predicting these things?
RedRubberBall203 Feb 23rd 2011 10:29AM
As of 7:30 PST still no change, at least not in the tool tips...
RedRubberBall203 Feb 23rd 2011 10:35AM
Never mind, looked at the actual buff and it is showing correctly for AotH, but not for Aimed shot. It actually looks higher than it was last night...
