epic

explain epic

and talents are becoming worrisome, at first I was like, okay a few points here and maybe one here, but now I think they may actually matter!!

What if I screw up??!!

The talent trees provide what little degree of specialization a given class can achieve. There are three per class, and each take the character in a specific play style direction.

I think you said you're a 'lock, right? So, your particular choices are AFFLICTION (make things sick unto death) DESTRUCTION (blow things up real good like) and DAEMONOLOGY (buff your minions)...

Talents can be reset at any time by any class trainer. It costs gold, and gets progressively more expensive the more you do it, so don't play around with them too much...

worldofwarcraft.com has a talent tree calculator...so you can 'mess' around w/it there. if you booboo, it's 1g to unlearn, then 5, 10, etc....so like torgo said...you don't wanna mess around too much.

however...when you're 70 you can...i switch all the time, but i have the money saved, so it's ok...

re: locks....aff is best for lvling until 49/50...then i'd switch to demo (which is when you can get felguard at 41 talent points...which is handy for lvling)...but again, it's up to you Smile

I'm hesitating about battlegrounds, I pass by the portal into Warsong Gulch a lot, but I don't travel with any groups and I'm still getting my butt kicked by instances...like that one in Shadow Cleft in Orgrimmar?
I mean WtH?! The stupid snakes are lvl 14+ why the plus? Why can't they make them 14? It really hurts my feelings to have to run from a 'snake' that is supposedly quite a few levels below me!!

I want to play in the arenas too, but I had doubts before Cookie said anything about Blizzard hating on casters...

I guess I better get working on that BE pally.

ah, elites. yeah. they'll whoop ya. even if you're their lvl. the theory is that while they say lvl 14, the elite really makes them in theory a few lvls higher...so it's more of a challenge.

bgs. lemme make an alt on your server and lvl her fast and i'll run thru them w/you to show you the ropes. they are fun, but they can be nightmareish...twinks and all and dying a lot etc. i bg all the time (it's what we do) so i 'm used to the dying/twinks/etc....i like the challenge.

instances. i usually don't run them w/out guildies....just a rule of mine cuz i've been in some bad pugs. (see: crispy gamer's wow comic on 'dc-ing' to get out of bad pugs)...

as for bgs, try it out! see if you like it or not. the points you save and tokens you get will get you sweet gear (boots from ab in 30s/40s that will increase your run speed, sweet belt....um...wsg has bracers etc. that are way better than a lot of the gear at those lvls)

sorry i've been away from posting....end of term wrap ups. i'm getting back on track Very Happy

ok so this isn't technically just a wowspeak i think, but i can't remember where the guild to im/net speak is....and i'm too tired to fiind it

i heard a "new" one tonight and wanted to report it to keep us all up to date....

here it is:

"i noe riet"

so, i gathered from interpreting the conversation, what was really meant to be say was:

"i know, right?"

heads up!

eW

I don't like that one.

Thank you for the update though.

I plan to restart my warcrack addiction soon...you'll know when by the loud shrieking as some lvl 70 decides it will be cute to gank my lvl 20 lock repeatedly.
The shrieking will most likely be followed by the ceremonial breaking of stuff through out my house as scream obscenities about 'Ally bastards'

ahhhh yes. obscenities abound in wow....it's why i had to buy a new mouse (g*d d*mmit smack smack smack smack smack...oops!)

warlocks at 70 are sick. that's why we're targeted even as lowbies. everyone's like, ugh---kill that lock (much as the infamous kill the healer rabble call)....imo, there's a reason why they're always nerfed ( a weeeee bit OPd)

haha!

oh, not sure i've used that one before OP = overopowered

and that they are. lvl'd to 70 w/a huntard and it was just sick.

I've come a LONG way since refusing teh WarCrack...

you're a cruel, cruel siren, Cookie. Razz

But there is still a bunch I don't understand (besides the joy that Allis get out of ganking me when I'm 20 lvls below them--- but enough about them and why I can't hardly finish a quest in Tarren Mill...)

What the heck are they saying in trade chat when they talk about premades and eots?? Shocked

And what's this about a patch to stop BG twinking...except 60s will still be twinks?

(Please use non-WarCrackese)

And... I wanna be a twink, how do I become a twink? Twisted Evil

Heh.

I actually figured that one out on my own. About ninja looters and such. I usually just pass or greed on everything. At this point, I'm more about getting exp, building my rep with quests, beefing my professions skills and meeting knowledgeable and cool people. (Not that I haven't had the A/S/L goobers bug me a bit, but all I have to do is say, "Dude, I'll be 32 on Thursday." and they virtually run the other way screaming. Laughing

)

I feel bad now, because the only BG exp I have is in PuG. I just join the BG and go from there.
I realize I'm not using my characters to the fullest of their potential, I don't have a strategy, I just buff everyone I can at the beginning, heal ppl when I see they need it and they're close by and swing on anything red that I can reach...

I guess I'm one of 'those' people, huh? The total messes. Twisted Evil

I see it as a learning process. I doubt I'll ever be as skilled as some, but I'll continue to try.

I'm a member of a friendly guild, but only one does BG on a regular basis and no one is higher than 60, I think most of us are 30s and 40s with a few 50s and lots of low 20s. H is a member also and he was doing BG, but someone told him his armor was pathetic and he shouldn't bother with BG until he got something halfway decent. He said it didn't bother him because he was wearing dropped armor and nothing he had bought, but he hasn't gone back in since.
