Morning Discussion

So, a large and ever-increasing number of people have already hit the new WoW level cap following the release of Cataclysm at midnight, the result of careful planning and marathon play sessions to score some silly bragging rights. I scoff a little, as it doesn't appeal to me in the slightest and I find it daft, but hey, different people enjoy games for different reasons. There's no right or wrong way, simply my way and those which I, as a person on the Internet, find infuriating because they are different. How dare they!

          In stormwind it's helpful to use a '/tar bralla' and then bind a key (in your key bindings) to use 'Interact with Target' to open chat windows,etc with your target. Much easier now.

        Also, so it looks like options are either Hyjal or Vash'nir for level right off the bat. I heard that Vash is worthless unless you have a sea mount or some shit? Anyone have a link or clues for best place to find that info out?

            I just found this:

            The very first quest awards the ability to passively breath underwater and swim 60% faster while in Vashj'ir. The final quest in the Kelp Forest gives players an underwater seahorse mount!

            Sweet.

      Is anyone else changing specs over to a more PvP-oriented build for leveling? I typically do this for every expansion to help out when getting ganked, was wondering if everyone else did the same.

      I feel really bad for whatever Alliance are left on MG. I can't imagine how much it must suck to level up there.

I wanted to take my time at least a little bit (like actually read quests to get a story going). I just wanted to get out a little ahead of the major pack today.

      I started in Vashj'ir (underwater zone) and it was a lot of fun and less clunky than I thought it would be. I've only done about 4-5 quest hub areas and I ended up hitting 81 without trying. I'm gonna check out some of the new 5-mans today though!

        Most professions (blacksmith, enchanting, inscription, Alchemy) give +80 main stat. Jewelcraft is +81. Leatherworking has +130 main stat, but replaces what would be +65 crit or haste.

      Any Mages have tips for handling Arcane Missiles procs? Say AM procs immediately after I shoot off my Fireball, but I already started casting the next one. If I cancel my cast right then I have to wait for GCD, but if I always wait to see if it procs I'm wasting time when it doesn't. If I finish my second Fireball then I just cast another nuke that could have triggered another AM proc had I used it first. Is there some trick to chaining cleanly into an AM cast in the event that it procs?

      • reply
        December 7, 2010 11:43 AM

        If you are casting fireballs, I'm assuming you are fire spec and shouldn't you not be proc'ing AM but instead be proc'ing Pyroblast instead? What spec are you?

          I'm level 4! I had a 70 Mage before the AM proc stuff but I rerolled. I'll probably go Arcane spec for leveling. Hot Streak seems pretty crap for leveling to me seeing how rarely you get crits.
