ekaterinodar wrote:Yes, I was looking at that last night. Already did the line for the gun for my hunter and it was a breeze. Only problem I see is that there aren’t many fist weapons in the game…should I be looking at eventually going over to swords altogether? During leveling I’veome ross a lot more fists and daggers than swords. I’m still sword sp though bause I sort of prefer it. ekaterinodar wrote: From what I had heard daggers vs swords wasompetitive atm as far as overall damage. Honestly, I’m not looking for high endontent on thisharter. At least nothing more than heros. Will there be a signifant differee in my defense between swords and the fistdaggerombination?Like I mentioned it’s basally just a matter of what youan get your hands on. I wouldn’t go daggerdagger forombat though. The offhand speed is most important, withombat’s potey and poison applations. So a fistdagger is fine espially sielose quarters favors both weapon types in one talent. ekaterinodar wrote: Thank you for the help. I must admit I’ve had a hard time finding straight answers for rogues. There is a whole lot ofonfltingomments and most of the stuff I do see is for raiding…whh doesn’t help me mh at level 72. Leveling is pretty broad with what youan get away with. You don’t have to synergy with other players and various playstyles. Youan also go at your own pe. It’sompletely different game. Levelingomes pretty easy and quk no matter how you get there, prtally. Take what youan get as you go along but just keep bas end level stats and strats in mind. Really though at 80 you’ll reple all your gear rather qukly. That’s when you start to delve deeper into the mhans.

The advantage withombat is your ability to take on more mobs more efftively. You still open withS, like you always should, but you basally spam SS and evierate until dead. When there’s two or three, you hit blade flurry, spam SS and evierate until dead. When there’s more than three, evasion, blade flurry, AR, spam SS and evierate until dead. You “tank” mobs about as mh as you tank them when you’re any other sp. They’re going to hit you eventually. Roste helps a great deal. It’s great for leveling. And well, yeah, last Ihked you should probably be swords or fists. I’m not sure if that’shanged.

Well just got Twilight Mist in 25 man naxx. I was using Knife of Iision and Titansteel Shanker, both with mongoose, whh one should i use with the new dagger? i will be putting mongoose on it as well? thanks MikeHmmm. Not sure, shrugFor the first 71 levels of play I was an AssassinationSub Rogue. For the most part leveling was pretty easy. Usuallyonsisted of stun lks and mutilate spamming. Well just today I dided to takeombat for a spin. All in all I enjoy it. I took a raiding build and messed with it ever so slightly (and to with 8 talents short being a level 72). It has me wondering… how extly do I level as aombat rogue? Do I mainly just let stuff hit me and beat on them? Do I still stunlk? What about these nifty talents that irease parry and dodge and give me extra strikes when I do dodge. In a raid or 5 man Ian see how these aren’t as useful bause if I’m playing right I won’t be taking an hits…but what about for solo play? Are talents like Roste, Defltion, Lightning Reflex, and Unfair Advantage have any worth in putting points into? Where should I take points out? www.wowarmoryomcharter-…;n=Starfury I’m stking with daggers for now as I have two meiless daggers with mongoose that are far superior to any of the Northrend swords I’ve ran into so far. Should I go into swordsfistsmes later on? Any adve would be appriated.When levelingombat, it’s really up to you how you want to grind out mobs. Starting from stealth and doing some form of stunlking is fine, simply running up to them and spamming SS, with SnD up, finishing with Evierate works too. A lot of people like Roste while grinding, but oe again that’s really yourall (I leveled with and without it and didn’t note mh of a differee) same goes for unfair advantage. For now, points in Lightning reflexes is a bit of a waste, but that mayhange very soon with uominghanges (10% melee haste in addition to dodge.) I wouldn’t rommend spending points in opportunity though, it’s a waste of points in aombat build. I’d try your hardest to pk up a dent weapon for the main-hand, anything that hits harder, (primarily a fist sie you’re already pking dent daggers) Mainly bause you won’t be hitting hard with SS using the Meiless Shanker.

So with the Lunar Festival finally upon us, many people are probably turning their eyes toward the “To Honor One’s Elders ” achievement. Even if they don’t plan to wear the shiny new title, they’ll probably want it if only for a shot at the Violet Proto-Drake. I myself am certainly no exception, and am currently running through Azeroth, paying my respects to the elders and getting those coins.

Wrath of the Lich King introduces the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth, a 3 person mount that costs between 16,000 and 20,000 gold, depending on your reputation with the Kirin Tor.

The mount is starting to show up on live realms today. Some folks that have very deep pockets are picking them up for the maximum cost. Reactions are mixed. Most people will target the mount, look through the vendors, and some will ask to get on it for a quick ride. Others will /point /laugh.

Blizzard (via Nethaera) has released a nice long statement on the Glider outcome over on the forums. She basically runs through the history of the case and why Blizzard is against what Glider is doing, and why going through the courts was the only route left to them. She says that Warden (though called only “security measures “) was enabled in response to player concerns about bots, and that when the MDY/Glider people circumvented Warden, their only recourse was to seek an injunction through the courts, which, as we’ve reported recently, they plan to have soon.
