All those 90 point mages are gonna beat ass

Base difference aside(Frost bolt or Fireball vs FF bolt), I think this spec would be pretty good:

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

I don't know how the talents gained/lost will shake out in the end compared to what a single elemental spec mage could do, but doesn't look terrible. Plus, I don't know certain element debuffs on the mob will be handled, like Improved Scorch and Winter's Chill.

Haha, well no one is saying you're able to take all of those talents, obviously. Still though, elementalist builds will definitely be more viable.

Is there a way to make corpses only sparkle if they have green or higher loot? I'm dragging a low level through instances and looting all the corpses would probably double the time spent in there since I'm killing everything in 2 hits. Master loot doesn't seem to do it, unless I have it set up wrong somehow.

There isn't, and if you suggest auto-auto loot people call you a lazy fucker.

GrobbeeTrull2.0 · 07-15-2008, 07:35 PM

Set Master Looter, Uncommon Quality, and Pass on Random Loot: Yes on the higher level character. Then, it'll sparkle when it's green or higher.

Jabberwhacky · 07-15-2008, 08:46 PM

Oh is that what pass on random loot does. Thanks!

Crell · 07-15-2008, 10:48 PM

Ok this is going to be the dumbest question, but I cant seem to get it to work. How do I get other raid groups to show up on my screen? Right now all I got is Grid which does little to shit to show me anything, and I cant seem to figure out how to drag other groups onto my screen. Or anyone know a mod that does it. Like something that will show name/health of everyone in raid?

Cad · 07-15-2008, 10:54 PM

That tip is Aces Grobbee. Very nice.

I'm guessing you've somehow set the raid layout to only "by group 5" or something.

Go into the options --> layout

Show Frame will adjust Grid actually is used. Always, Grouped or in a Raid.

Raid Layout is where you set the size of Grid being used. You can set it to show up to 40 people ("by group 40") or only 5 with pets ("by group 5 w/pets").

Grid alone does not dynamically change your layout based on the amount of people present, you need to do that for it. When you go into a 10-man raid, you need to pop into options and set the "Raid Layout" to whichever 10-man version you want. Same for 25-man stuff, 40-man (AV) or whatever. There are a couple of additional Grid add-ons that can be used to switch layouts based on what zone you enter, the configuration of your raid etc., you'll have to go through the list of Grid stuff at World of Warcraft Addons - WowAce.com to find one that you think will work for you.

So with all the changes to xp/questing etc. what type of timeframe are we looking at for someone with lots of experience coming back to WoW and leveling up a new class?

brekk · 07-16-2008, 06:21 PM

~5-10 days played to 70 I'd guess.

STV will go even faster now with mounts at 30.

considering elwynn -> westfall -> redridge/duskwood gets you right to 30 should be a cakewalk.

If you have leveled one or more characters before, then I would recommend you use something like Jame's Horde Leveling Guide for your next character as it will help you breeze through the lower levels.

I did 1-70 in about 4 and a quarter days played over the span of about 2 months, but I used a lot of rested.
