Once you hit rank 3 in pvp you can buy a trinket which dispells fear, atleast I think it does for warriors. But I know once you hit a higher level a warrior actually gets different skills which makes them immune to fear for a period of time or dispells fear once you use a skill.

Jumping around a person is the way to go, especially on casters, you keep jumping and running around them which can make them get the "target not in line of site" error so they can't cast at you. Once you play the game for awhile you'll get the nick of it and find ways to do it to people and to avoid other people from doing it to you.

You will also get a skill called pummel which cancels the casting spell if a person is casting at you, which can also prevent them from fearing or casting anything at you.

Heres a screenshot of an organized WSG I did with my twink guild :)

Its just so lame. This turns the game into a 3d shooter with skills, instead of a RPG

The SRO system is 10x better; even if the skills are not. The way you click and attack is far easier, for both players.

Big turn-off to WoW.

I noticed if you check 'click to move' your character WILL walk to a target and WILL face him when you double-click a player.

But still, thats hella constantly double clicking anyway

Lame

Maybe I re-roll hunter so im ranged. Then spin and jump is irrelevant in most cases.

Oooh, trust me, it will be 100 times worse if you're a hunter. Hunter's have a deadzone; If someone gets close to you, you can't use your ranged abilities, and forced to use melee. (Which, for a hunter, you'll lose 90% of the time melee'ing)

All in all, the Battlegrounds system is inherently flawed. It doesn't support group PVP as much as it should (That's the focus of PVP, Blizzard's said 1-on-1 is a rock paper scissors system) and everyone's a twink in the lower brackets. Don't be surprised if you see twinks with 500g worth of gear on their level 19's.

You talk about clicking so much. I dont get it :p.

You dont have to click on someone to attack them. Once you right click on them it will auto send you into Melee attack mode then you just gotta run up and hack the shit of them spamming Heroic Strike or whatever abilities you can use when you have Rage avalible for you.

You of course have your action bar with 1 to = button (by default. I dont use that style, to much reaching over the keyboard).

Remeber your playing a Warrior. PvP is sort of one-lined for them, gear dependent, you dont have as many tricks that other classes have. Especially Casters. Just remember it gets better as you go on your still a lowbie, the game hardly starts until your 60 (well, raiding wise that is).

Here's some top-notch 60 Warrior PvP movies you can take a look at to check at what you will be working out to be:

http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=30077
http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=7615

Just goto that site and search Laintime. He is a great Warrior (Korean). I recommend doing that. Some good entertainment too.

There's a shit load of movies on that site so just check it out.

Btw Alliance is more PvE oriented. If you're looking for serious PvP, horde is the way to go. Go an undead warrior/rogue/warlock/mage and then you can own the BGs. Undeads have a racial ability called Will of the Forsaken and it dispells charms, sleep and fear.

But if you really want to stick with alliance and PvP, a human warrior can still own but anything below or equal to 29 BGs is not going to be a fair fight. Like mentioned above, there are twinks, you're better off leveling and doing World Pv P till then :)

Hmmm 21 now.

I ran with dual weild for a bit, but it really seems like the damage of the off hand is seriously reduced

That and, it seems like I miss 75% of the time... I'm actually doing much less damage than I was before with sword / shield, hard to even hold the agro with sunders

And its hard to sunder / rend / hamstring when you miss all the time :(

Strange.

Dual weilding cuts the damage of the offhand by about 50%, and you miss 50% of the time with both weapons.

Fun. Balanced, but...Still.

Everyday, I get more and more tempted to take one of the demo discs from work and try this out :rolleyes: Will the Seth ever fall prey to the beast that is WoW?!

We... May never know :p

If you want to keep your job, I advise against it. If you want to get anywhere in the game, you have to invest all of your free time into it, or you're not going anywhere.

Ignore what Conan said. Just buy it >D. I have a couple of spare Trial keys if your original one runs out and your still not sure if you want to play it or not.

To be honest, even if I bought the actual game, I wouldn't obsess over it... It'd just be something to have fun.

Honestly, one of the main reasons I wanna get it is I wanna see the world of Warcraft :D I've seen movies of it and stuff, and the scenery looks amazing. Just running around would be fun :)

Husky, believe it or not, the Dark Prince from Hell (aka, me :D) doesn't believe in stuff like using other trial keys and such :D I'm weird like that. I don't even like borrowing other people's CDs to put songs on my iPod :eek:

Conan, there's no way I'd lose my job over WoW :) Besides, I hardly work as it is :p

Until you get past 25ish, you don't see much in changes and stuff.

You will NEVER be a musician. I was lent about 10 different orchestral CDs from my teacher to make copies of them for practicing. There is no such thing as copyright laws in music.

Have fun in WoW like everyone else!

Also: Remember that Alcohol is less addicting than WoW

Whomever invented using the term "miss" for the random chance for a melee attack to not be felt should be shot. All ranged attacks can miss, all melee attacks can be blocked. Melee attacks miss? BS :p

But that is off topic. You have trail keys Husky? I might consider asking for one. I've installed WoW ages ago and didn't really like it, but I might try later on a trial, just to convince myself. I've only some six months left before I have to work like heck without play :D

When to use battle stance and defensive stance?

I havn't used defensive stance once.

In instances, battle stance holds down the agro, and I get healed constantly ^^ Its been working so far; I get healed while I repeatedly sunder, mocking blow, heroic strike and rend

Even being low man in the group, the bosses love me... If others in the group are in trouble, I can sunder/mock those mobs too, and take on 2 more or so, with the boss. If the shit is real bad, used intimidating shout to make all the mobs around us run accept the boss I'm holding down. This saves the ass of those I cannot protect

Problem with defensive stance is I have NO talents in the defensive tree, so the skills arn't doing me much good =(

Now im becomming a rage machine; my alchemy is good enough to make rage potions... plus the blood rage skill.

That and invested points into fury which give me 3x% chance to generate rage on attacks, and skills in arms that retain rage during combat

Some kinda bonuses / mods when you switch to defensive stance?

......

You can use Sunder Armor outside of defensive stance? :confused:

In defensive stance you take 10% less damage but deal 10% less, it also allows you to use some abilities that are exclusive to defensive stance (I thought sunder was one of those abilities)

    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them

    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them

    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for

    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something

    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits

    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
