General Questions
Q: adam holisky requires advanced training
A: Um Adam have you been googling yourself again? I think you should look at your resources page... depending on what type of training you require!Q: gravity pwnwear idiot
A: *buzzt* Wrong. And why are you searching for this???Q: wow tourguide 3.3
A: I'm not sure exactly when this happened in terms of patches - but Tour Guide is currently not available for download. Have a read of the interview with Tekkub over at wow.com for more info - but basically it's only available with Zygor's leveling guides for the moment.Q: best place for exp and leather northrend
A: As soon as I could I took Coaz to Sholazar Basin - being the home of Nesingwary's set of kill x beasts. You get a ton of leather while you quest. I've since moved to Grizzly Hills as it also has a lot of killing beasts involved in the questing too.Q: what class blows things up
A: Survival hunters use Explosive Shot! Otherwise you might want be interested in a Fire mage...
Q: what does aoe mean in wow
A: Area of Effect - you might also see references to AE (Area Effect) basically this is used for spells/attacks that hit more than one mob at once.Q: why does mail take an hour wow
A: This was covered in a recent episode of The Queue over at wow.com - but short answer - it slows the ability of gold sellers that hack into accounts to do their damage. I think historically it was actually there because mail wasn't supposed to be instant - and from that perspective it also used to apply to mailing between your characters. This is now instant thankfully!Q: how to change time in wow so i don't have to play in dark
A: I used to experience this when I first started playing - on a US realm playing from Australia it was always night... even to the point that I started a guild called Dawnraiders when trying to set up an Oceanic time raiding guild. The reality is - you'll have to transfer/play on a server that is in/closer to your timezone if you want to see the day time!Paladin Tanking Questions
Q: 3.3.2 bis paladin tank gear/3.3.2 best paladin tank buildA: Have a read over at Righteous Defense or Honors Code...
Q: advantages of druid tanking over paladin tanking
A: I mentioned this in my Pally tanking for warriors comments, but have a read of Big Beart Butt's posts Tanking Test! Druid vs Paladin Q: herbalism for tanking pally
A: There are probably better professions for a Paladin - lifeblood isn't a huge health return and being an HoT means you can't really rely on it to save you. I used to use it on my warrior in combination with Last Stand to effectively give me the health back permanently - with Paladins don't really have the option of... and being a tank you get instant groups - so you won't have time to herb!Q: forge of souls strategy pally avenger's shield caster
A: I'm assuming this is for the set of 5 mobs that are 4 casters around the mob in the middle. In this case I aim my avenger's shield on the back left caster and then make a beeline for the front right mob. This will usually leave one caster up that you will probably just have to keep taunting back on you - I try and slowly move across to the said mob, but it doesn't always happen.PTR questions
Q: blizzard public test realm how do i get a 80/can you create a level 80 character on the ptr?/can you get free levels in ptr wow
A: Under the character copy option on the account pages when you log in there is an option to transfer a pre-made character (not always enabled for all PTRs). This is the closest you'll get to 'free' levels. Back in WotLK beta they also had a exp boost to help you get through the leveling quicker.Q: free gems ptr
A: Jen answered this in the comments on the PTR related post. Yes - there is a vendor for epic gems and enchants too.Quests
Q: if you keep a weekly quest from last week and do it can you still do this weeks one? wow / is it possible to have more than one weekly raid quest?
A: No - you have to abandon the previous raid weekly - otherwise you will be ineligible for the new one. You can however complete the previous weeks one (if you happen to find yourself killing said boss) - but finding a group to do that might not be easy!Q: pit of saron quest if u abandon / the halls of reflection, can i abandon quest and rejoin?
A: You can abandon them and pick them up again - however you will probably have to redo the instance to start at the appropriate point again because Jaina/Sylvanas move and you can only pick them up at certain points.Gear
Q: mats for tyrannical beheader
A: Blood, sweat, tears and a bit of luck - this is a drop from the final boss Scourgelord Tyrannus in Heroic Pit of Saron.Q: best hunter enchant tyrannical beheader
A: Um... This is not a hunter weapon... strength does nothing for you and you will make your melee dps friends sad rolling on this. If you have no better option then the haste and armor penetration will be useful, but otherwise the only thing I can see this being useful for as a hunter is the stamina if you are making a high survivability set for soloing/tanking with your pet - in either case Massacre is your best option.Q: tyrannical beheader enchant
A: Beserking - unless you are a DK tank... but you should be using a rune then.Q: trade emblem macro
A: You don't need a macro - someone pointed this out somewhere recently (I'm sorry I forgot where) - you can just buy multiple emblems at once by shift clicking the emblems when you buy them.Q: heirloom cross server
A: Not possible yet - it'll happen Soon TM. But hopefully soon soon rather than later soon.Q: i deleted my character without mailing heirlooms
A: Ack. I think your only hope here is to petition a nice GM and see if they can restore it for you and keep your fingers crossed.
I love search engine terms!
ReplyDeleteOh, on the topic of herbalism at a pally tank! It's really not ideal for a max level tank (I think Blacksmithing and JC are still the best professions if you want to min/max), but as you're leveling, it's really, really nice. You end up with all sorts of healers in lowbie instances, so the herbalism heal is great in helping you take care of yourself as needed.
@Ophelie
ReplyDeleteYou are right about herbalism and leveling. I also found it a good way to make money while leveling my warrior - I just sold everything I found. It can also be useful for soloing bits and pieces if you time it right (i.e. use it preemptively) - so it isn't completely useless - but for end game there would be better choices!
