Hey, this might not mean much to you higher lvl guys, but last night I (finally) hit 44! Not a huge milestone, but now I can use my recently purchased (for a steal of 10g) Phantom Blade, now with Fiery on it!

It should be a huge increase to my DPS. Much better than my old Scorpion Sting was. I'm excited to toast some stuff! Woot!

Respecced to fist/sword combat, Karathress down, working on Al'ar currently. 33% first try.

Al'ar to 1%. God damnit.

Sucks. Just think about what might have happened. Maybe 1 guy forgot to pop a trinket or CD. And the whole group got raped over. D:

It's all because you didn't put mongoose on your fist weapon... I'm telling you... that's a whole 1%!!!!

On that note, 41/20 does exceptionally well on the alar fight because it's so dynamic. Things like imp KS are actually useful for the adds... and the rapid combo point generation is VERY useful. I don't know what exactly your arena mute spec looks like, but I would think that you would do similar if not better damage on that fight if you stayed mute. I know I personally wouldn't have respeced from mute had I been speced mute (as I am from time to time).

Well every few months I try to break out of my comfortable spec and go Combat, which would seem MUCH better than the ***/Sub hodgepodge I usually do. I'm on 56k so don't use daggers (positioning lag sucks), so always MH a sword/mace/whatever. But once again I didn't like it, partly because some noob hunter who tried to gank me succeeded because some of my sh*t was on cooldown from testing it on ogres. So back to CB/prep non-dagger, now with riposte instead of premed, and a few other changes. Oh well, I have fun with it, though I wish the 41 point talents in Sub and *** weren't both dagger-only (not counting garrote). Hm, maybe I should try combat again though with a faster offhand...lol.

What else...well I got the um, Vengeance card from the Darkmoon faire. I never, ever instance so am a bit limited on potential trinkets. And I bought two cards at once and sold the other deck so didn't cost too much, except for economics majors and their @#%^ing opportunity cost. Also finally got the improved pvp trinket. Noticed a nice improvement in pvp survivability from both; I needed stamina badly so the 510hp from the card is nice. Plus it procced on a earthbind totem once in AV and killed it without me coming out of stealth. LOL! Then I read the 2.3 patch notes that said the proc wouldn't kill stuff like totems anymore :(

Only about 60 tickets til I get the ram mount from Brewfest.

6 months, and yet never drop for me.. :'(

Kinda sad, my guild stucked at VR/Lurker, and no longer progressing, people slowly leaving.. I wanna accomplish something, but the real situation doesn't allow me! Envy you guys who trying on Alar etc...

I doubt you would be, were you in my shoes. I was begging for agility pots by the end of the night, had spent 20g on 5 agility pots, 20g on repairs on just Al'ar tries alone (I can usually vanish on bosses in SSC because we either kill them easily or wipe horribly), and two 50g respecs.

My DPS wasn't even that great. (Granted the two other rogues pulling 1000+ DPS are sword spec with Talon/S2 OH, but still...)

Once on the first tick, all ticks after that will abolish the poison.


it's a terrible bug and i am not sure if it is being looked at.

Re-broke 2k with my 2v2 and 3v3. Now to stand around in Shattrath looking leet!

big gratz :)




Got lurker below to 47% tonight, we're all new to this but I laready hate this boss :S

Congrats on that, you made a good post, I hit rate up, and BAM, you're blue.

You earned it
