Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Sep 24, 2008 6:00pm PDTI got around to checking out Google Chrome
a bit more today and I was pretty impressed. The migrate of settings/passwords/etc worked
quite well and I was right at home. Of course the lack of downloadthemall and firebug
makes it a no-go for me, but if I didnt actually work on websites all day and just browsed
them, it would be great.

few weeks as we are going to begin integrating Shacker polling info in to individual news
items via a cute little shack
nugget. This is the first step in a broader plan to start a deeper integration of what
you guys think about games in to what we publish here. Everyone hold your breath!
Kinect for Xbox One coming to PC
Xbox One does not provide any built-in DVR capabilities

So, who has been following the beta changes? What are you excited about for your class? As a huntard, I love the Viper Aspect changes (more like evocate but with reduced damage shots), should make mana management much more bearable, whereas now it sucks for us. Dropping the cast time on Steady Shot is amazing too, it's the way it should be - GCD swing timers on all standard shots.
Pet talents look really cool too, though I'm worried raid pets will be fragile since they have to go for all dps talents with no room for tank ones. Be fun getting a turtle to off tank 5 mans though. Bear tanking (my alt) sounds great too - chug pots, bark skin, Frenzy and no more crushings means we can MT raids!

Survival was looking so fucking good, I didn't know about the EW or Exp Shot nerfs. So, basically, they get to be mana batteries, but EW sucks, so will their DPS, and they're back to square one being lucky to make raids? Shit, the only reason anyone took Surv to raids was for the EW. Some SV Hunters could get tasty DPS from crazy DPS, but BM was still king and probably will remain that way. Dammit, was pondering a change. :/
And, yeah, their 51 point now sucks, cannot believe they dropped Readyiness into MM too, haha. I guess it's at least deep enough that BM can't get it, which would be utterly frightening.
