<Andrew> Sounding can be fun, so long as there's no feedback.

Sounding just pretty much terrifies me, lol.

Judging from catheters... it is.

Yeah... there's good pain and there's bad pain. That sounds like bad pain to me. =x

If I ever get tired of every other type of stimulation available, I'll keep that in mind. To be fair, I'm more likely to try sounding than BDSM.

I'm gone for barely a week and you guys turn the thread into weird talk about non-boobs, -beer and whatever the third thing is.

And yeah, the picture of me was in the Warlock picture thread. I'll probably upload some new soon from when I helped my dad chop down some trees this week.

Holy hell, northern Europe is on fire right now. Luckily I had lots of beer to help cool me off. And I finally got to try a Leffe, Aeth. Blonde, slightly cooled. It was sex.

I need to go out and buy some more soon.

You'd be surprised how light BDSM can be. It really just depends on a lot of things. Hell, using a blindfold and some light bondage can be considered BDSM.

What do you mean by "scored"? Average DoT up-time? Percentage of maximum theoretical DPS? I think you mentioned how you scored in another post and I was curious how you measured it.

Yeah, what Brisin said. Our raid leader is using our WoL ranking to judge how we are performing. Ideally he wants us to be at about 70% on all fights, and once we hit 90% he knows we're ready for heroic modes. It's not a perfect system, but it's more fair than judging us against each other. Not that that would make a huge difference for me since SP are usually at or near the top of the dps charts anyways.

That ranking info is much like taking your dps and making a comparison with this:

BTW, are Subtlety Rogues any good in pvp? Because they are the worst dps in every boss, right there with Frost Mages. But the latter are killers in pvp.


edit: Digg, the rank compares you with your class/spec/raid size/raid mode/boss. So if your dps is x in 10 man, x' in 10 man heroic, y in 25 man and y' in 25 man heroic, it will show you diferent rankings.


About how are druids, Balance Druids are alright. Usually in the middle, with some fights near the top ones. Feral, not so well. Usually in the bottom, with some fights near the middle.

Class and spec. So I get compared to the top 200 shadow priests in the world for 10man normals.

Compared to balance druids and the eclipse mechanic, shadow priest is a walk in the park. It's still a priority system, but it's a lot easier to manage the buff and have near 100% uptime. To maximize dps, what I do is start out the fight with SWP, use my shadowfiend, cast Mind Flay until I get my 5 stacks of Evangelism for Archangel and set that off, then Mind Blast (most of the time I have an orb at this point), then cast VT and DP. After that, it's just a matter of casting MF until MB comes off CD and refreshing VT and DP, preferably when the Empowering Shadows buff is up. Oh, and you want to cast SWD on CD once the mob/boss has less than 25% health. Multi-dotting is easier than with Moonkin, because you don't have to be facing the mob to cast SWP and VT. Moonfire/Sunfire you have to be facing them.

From what I've seen on WoL though, VT is our biggest dps. Mind Flay I suppose you could consider our main "nuke" although it is considered to be a DoT for practical purposes. It's also the worst dps out of any of our spells, which is why you want to cast MB on CD regardless of if you have any orbs or not. The only reason for using MF at all, is because crits lower the CD on our SF and it gives us Evangelism and Archangel procs. For movement phases, spamming DP and SWD on CD is what you want to do, while periodically pausing to get off a VT or MB. They're both 1.5s or less, so it's still fairly safe to do that even during Atramaedes air phase.

I don't know how it is now, but it was reappearing in pvp when I left (largely due to a ton of buffs). But mutilate had been the most common spec. But I am betting a lot of that had to do with the short wrath fights...

Sub also suffers in BGs and against any combination that can lock out stealth effectively, because they are HEAVILY dependent on it. It really sucks if they can't get their ambushes.

Im leveling a female DK tank right now. Almost 85, probably will get it today still. Been pretty fun to play her, even on regular LFG.
I want to change her name, though. Sissy is not a cool name, heh.

Just changed to Aethelfled, since it wont let me use Æthelflæd.
