Morning Discussion
by Xav de Matos, Jan 03, 2011 5:00am PST2010 is over. Time to start clearing space on our shelves for the swarm of new titles hitting in 2011. In the first three months alone we're going to be bombarded with quality titles. Then a steady stream of other anticipated games are going to trickle out. In November we have Uncharted 3 landing and my personal "OMGOMGOMG" game of 2011, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, arrives. Then Gears of War 3 and, well, all those games that have yet to be revealed.
This generation makes me happy to be a gamer. You know who else is happy? Credit card companies and loan sharks; the only two options I use when making mass video game purchases. What I'm saying is, I make bad decisions.

Managed to hit 60 last night on my human rogue. Went and bought myself one of them special flying mounts and I must say that flying around Outlands is pretty awesome.
Speaking of which, I'm in agreeance with Magus: Outlands is pretty cool. I finished hitting 58 in Sithilus which was a complete pain in the ass and immediately got out of there after finishing what few quests I had left. All of the new mobs in Outlands are pretty awesome and that giant Power Rangers looking thing (Fel whatever) that walks around is equally awesome.
How is everyone else doing in the wonderful world of Warcraft?

The thing that isn't the same as warriors is savage defense. Yes, you can neglect maul and whatnot, but that's one less attack every 3s to proc savage defense. Your savage defense uptime will suffer, and you will be taking more damage.
The reason I mentioned the possibility of swipe and thrash isn't for the bleed effect -- it's for the extra hit. I know DoTs/bleeds used to reset the dot timer each time they're re-applied (meaning you'd never see the dot tick if you spammed it), so what I'm not exactly sure is if that's true each time you cast lacerate. If it is, then spamming lacerate is bad -- you'll want to get to 3, then use another ability for the extra hit (ex: swipe) so that lacerate ticks have a chance to refresh mangle.
Every single melee hit you perform has a chance to activate savage defense. Neglecting any will reduce its uptime, and increase your damage taken.
