Insider Trader: All about patch 3.1 {WoW}

Apr 11th 2009 12:41PM Anyone else think the new LW items suck complete ass for enhancement shaman? Rogues get all the crit, hit, ap gear while we get haste (useless) and armor pen (useless) on all the mail. It's horrible.

Mar 26th 2009 4:59PM Until it changes in 3.1 it's Unleashed Rage isn't worth five points until you're running max level instances or raiding. There are just more important things to use them on.

It's changing in 3.1 to grant you 3-6-9 expertise (a free 2.25% dodge/parry reduction) and 4-7-10% ap bonus on crit. After that it'll become a way more valuable talent for soloing. Until then, stick with Mental Dexterity and Weapon Mastery if you're trying to choose.

As far as glyphs go, yes the 2% proc rate for windfury is helpful even if you're running a WF/FT setup. If you're running dual WF, even more so.

For max level glyphs (ignoring spell power setups) it goes Glyph of Windfury > Glyph of Stormstrike > Glyph of Lightning shield. I have no idea how the math works out on a mid-level shaman though. They're most likely all pretty comparable until you get to a higher level.

Just my $0.02

Mar 26th 2009 12:38PM Small help to fix the economy: flat sales tax with no income tax (see the UK system -- VAT).

Even illegal immigrants and drug dealers have to buy shit. Might as well make them give back to the country they're otherwise screwing over. Also, rich bastards buying $30m yachts would contribute a bit more than the average joe -- I'm okay with this.

WoW 101

Session 1: Avoiding AE Damage -- "Don't stand in the &*@%ing fire!!! /facepalm"

Session 2: Proper Gearing -- "Not bringing a knife to a gun fight."

Session 3: Final.

**Extra Credit: 3 man the Safety Dance achievement on heroic mode.

I understand people get hit by AE damage sometimes. It happens to everyone sometimes. However, when people are constantly standing in the fire, locust swarm, or any other AE and forcing your healers to go OOM: they're a problem in your raid. They need to be talked to, helped out, or booted. I guess the solution depends on your guilds 'hardcore' mentality :-)
