talent builds for swords, fists

The DPS spreasheet has nowookieutter talent builds for swords, fists andombination of them, available at a (double) mouselk. Youanhk the projted DSP, AND get your talent build adve. For what I washking for myself: if I get enough badges in time, I will just spombat fists. If not, it will beombat fistsword until I get more badges.Greetings people, after allot of playing and farming I finally quired 2xBlinKstrike ( wow.allakhazamomdbitem?witem=31332;soue=live ) I’mombat Sp and my question is if two blinkstrike’s are a viablehoe for pve. I’murrently lvl 68. Wh are the best items to get for a rogue oe you ding 70? I have 2xBlinkstrike (wow.allakhazamomdbitem?witem=31332;soue=live); The night wahman (wow.allakhazamomdbitem?witem=31333;soue=live) Stored on my bank! Any adve? thx keep on the good work… Do not put a slow weapon in your off-hand. Never, ever in aombat sp. Read the stkies at the top and any of the 2-bubillion threads here onombat swords. I’d sell the sond Blink right off and get a flying mount at 70 (cess to Tempest Keep instaes). Prepare yourself to start serious instae running. Well, if you’re plan is PvE that is. Also, the season 1 weapons are superior and aren’t all that hard to earn honor for. Take a tr to your friendly honor weapons vendor and take a look. At 69 youan hit the battlegrounds without being too badly out-geared (at 70 it’s a whole new ball-game) and over weekend youan hit 2k honor without diffulty. Not to mention the amount of new trks you’ll learn fighting real opponents. Good lk!

for a meta and roll with Boar’s speed

I have the 18 Stam 5% stun resist for a meta and roll with Boar’s speed on my boots. Works pretty well for me the 24 AP run speedan work too if you want to get somethign else on your boots!Gonzi wrote:I have the 18 Stam 5% stun resist for a meta and roll with Boar’s speed on my boots. Works pretty well for me the 24 AP run speedan work too if you want to get somethign else on your boots! That’s a s12 setup. No rogues gem for stam anymore. Every rogue should have Surefooted on their boots, but only Mut rogues will see the true benefit of stking snare resist (FF + meta + Surefooted), and sie FF is a runspeed by itself, there’s no reason to pk up another runspeed. But ShS needs runspeed. That’s the reason for the AP meta, bause you’re going to want the 10 hit and snare resist from Surefooted on your boots. The 24 AP (24.24 after Deadliness) helps too. So, as noted before, these are the ehantsgems you want to be using: Gems Red: 8 Agi Yellow: 8 hit until you hit 79 hit, then 4rit8 AP Blue: there are none in our gear, LOL! Meta: 24 APrunspeed (Mut: 12rit5% snare resist) Ehants Head:Ehest: 150 HP or 15 resiliee Wrist: 24 AP Gloves: 15 Agi, 26 AP if you’re poor Pants: 50 AP12rit Boots: Surefooted EDIT: Oh, also, don’t get the Vindator’s Leather Brers. They skompared to the feral druid ones. Jesus Theo, now you say something about the brers’s after I already bought my Vind’s Leather ones. Guess that’s another 12k honor or so I have to grind.Honestly if you have the Vind Leather, don’t bother; use your honor for something else. It’s not that big of a differee.

for rogues and everybody

I made one of these lists for rogues and everybody seemed to like it. It also sparked some debate as to whh pies would be better forertain slots. Sie I’ve rently been trying to gear up my ele shaman I dided to share the gear list I made as my own personal goal with you all. There are only 4 pies from heros on this list, 2 eh from Slave Pens and Underbog. I iluded the badges shield bause it is sh a huge upgrade over any blue youan get and in the press of running hero UB and Slave Pens you should get at least the 33 badges the shieldosts (unless you are very lky on drops). I also understand there are 4 pies of PVP gear on the list, but they really are SO mh better than any blues youan get for those slots it’s well worth grinding the 72k honor you’ll need for them. This set of gear will put you at around 9k mana, approx 900 spell damage, and almost 37% torit on lightning bolt self buffed with Wrath of Air and Totem of Wrath. Gladiator’s Spellblade ehanted with Major Spellpower Mazthoril Honor Shield ehanted with Intellt Totem of the Void Mask of Inner Fire ehanted with Glyph of Power Warp Engineer’s Prismathain Pauldrons of Wild Mag ehanted with Greater Inrtion of the Orb Baba’sloak of Aanistry ehanted with Subtlety Worldfirehestguard ehanted with Eeptional Stats Vindator’s Mail Brers sketed with Potent Noble Topaz and ehanted with Spellpower Earth Mantle Handwraps sketed with 2x Potent Noble Topaz and ehanted with Major Spellpower Vindator’s Mail Girdle Stormsong Kilt sketed with 2x Potent Noble Topaz and 1x Glowing Nightseye and ehanted with Run Spellthread Vindator’s Mail Sabatons ehanted with Vitality Ryngo’s Band of Ingenuity intillatingoral Band Xi’ri’s Gift Quagmirran’s Eye

Def go enhaement, you say you like smashing things and doing signifant damage, while elemental does more damage in the long run, enhaement brings mh more to groups. Espially when youre put in a melee group for raids. Just know this, pvp will be a breeze as a shaman period until 70, thats when thelass’s flaws startoming out sie every otherlass has aC to make enhaement espially flawed for pvp.[:hooled:] Enjoy playing your shaman!!!!!!

Felguardan be good, but has to be

Yes, Affltion will rk in Instaes. Felguardan be good, but has to be used right, if you have problems using him right, he isn’t for you. Don’t worry, he isn’t for me either. Of you options, 1 is thelosest to something I would do. Why did you only take 1 in Imp Drain Soul though? 10% Threat redtion helps keep you from pulling hate from the tank. Also, 22 Imp Life Tap isn’t as needed sie you have Dark Pt. So I’d move that. If your going to be raiding, you might want to look at Maledtion also. Personally, I’m also not a fan of Imp HS. It’s ne, but not extly required, I’d rather have Imp Imp and the extra Sta, ne in groups too. That’s just my opinion though.

do not want to make another

I have an Undead Mage, so I really do not want to make another undeadharter =) It starts getting dull and boring after a while. I know the viability of SlSL build in PvP. However, I was wondering if AffltionDestrtion would be ceptabe as well?I’m Affltion sp’d and I have to say that leveling is pretty fast and easy. Oe you get Dark Pt, you essentially won’t need to sit down in instaes either. I see the power of Destro and the fun and strength of Demo as well, but I find Aff. the most useful espially for the “earlier” levels. You’d want to put points in Aff. anyways to at least get the instantorruption.Ianonfirm that Demon is a great sp for leveling – toss in a few afltion tallents toompliment it and you’ll never OOM and almost never die.Basally: 1-49 Affltion 50-64 Demonology 64-69 Affltion 70- Whatever you wantHey, all. I’m going to ask for help on a subjt that will probably get me yelled at, but I’m gonna ask anyway: build help. My warlk I haverummy gear, bause I dislike PvP passionately, and I haven’t done many 5-mans. Theouple I’ve been through have left me feeling like I’m not pulling my weight (when I did SL with guildies, weouldn’t get past Vorpil, and I felt like it was my fault. Myontrol over the Felguard left something to be desired, and my DPS dropped every time my pet got killed, sie the various Demo buffs give me a good 200 extra spell power). I leveled up to 60 as Affltion, and I’ve been debating whether or not to re-sp to UA again. When I did instaes pre-, I always felt like Iontributed as Aff (when I did Mauradon, I pulled Priess off our tank with ease; admittedly, he was spced Fury at the time, but still…) My big question is extly how to distribute talents. Door #1 Door #2 Door #3 Is the +15% Sta from Demon Embre worth it if I’m not PvPing? Will Affltion’s goodies (Shadow Mastery,ontagion, two more DoTs) make up for the loss of Demon Knowledge, Soul Link, Demon Tts, and Master Demonologist? Should I stk with what I have already? em makes sure his Fire Resist gear is at hand for the inevitable flames…

2 3 isoming out and it will help us

Hello all! As we all know pah 2.3 isoming out and it will help us with our alts. So I desided to have 3harters going – my mage, shammy and a lk. I am playing horde side so for re I think I will be going with either Os or Belfs. Would you rommend either one of them over the other? I am playing on a PvP server and in end-game all mharters will be aimed for BGs and Arenas. So said that, would you rommend O or Belf? Now, I have been looking at various builds for quite a while – my wife plays a lk so I designedouple for her. She is playing Demon for now, but oe she hits 70 he will probably go Affl. But enough about her =) Ian’t seem to pk between Affltion or Destrtion build. ffltion is very familiar to me and I imagine prettylearly how it is played. Destrtion, on the other hand, is a bit ulear to me. There are tons of good-looking talents in it, however Ian imagine having some mana issues from tossing these insta-Shadowbolts around. Have any of you guys played a Destro-lk and if you have – what are yourommentssuggestions?Well, from a pure PvP standpoint, Undead is probably the besthoe for Will of the Forsaken. Will save your ass in BGs and Arenas. Affltion is generallyonsidered to be the best levelling sp, though I think that if done properly a Demo sp is just as viable. Destro on the other hand I’m not sure about as I have never tried, but just think of yourself as a mage with a pet and DoTs. You will be OOM and drinking alot, and will have downtime. Is thisountered by the ft that you kill faster? That’s up to you and your playstyle, not many around here will rommend it though. For PvP, you’ll probably want a hybrid build iluding Soul Link and wither Ruin or Shon Life. Those aren’t good levelling sps though.

the originalsause they lookool,

Link to this D 4th 2008 1:12pm : Logged Reply to this XenexiaSage354 Good ^ LOL If you were powerleveling to 80 you’d already be there. For myself, I’m taking the sightseeing tour as I already had 5 70s when Lh King hit the stores. My DK is 65 right now. He’s going out at 68, but my hunter will be the first toon to 80 followed by my priest. I’ll lookool wearing my goofy mismahed plate with the helm not showing. Myself i’ve been a pky one on gear, but i dont see the point not repling the blues.. why would u slow urself down? Theres a few items around that are major upgrades, some arent or look awefull Best uan do is look thru items to see if they lookool, if they are above 63ish they are a defo upgrade and will help When ur 68, go northrend and grind quests to 70, id take boreanause it has slighly easier gear gathering, and theres a questline for a blue axe that will last u past 73

northrend in my original gear – the

I fully intend trying to get to northrend in my original gear – the way I’m going to do this is ehant my gear withheap ehants (I have a leatherworker and an ehanter (+10 sta heavylefthide armour for head,hest and boots), +str for brers and gloves … my only undided is whether to buff my legs up with theobraale orlefthide armour … one gives lotsa AP (40, I think), the other gives lotsa Stamina (30, i believe). So, for the purposes of extending the life of my gear, would you guys suggest AP or STA. Link to this Nov 27th 2008 7:57am : Logged Reply to this Lady KarlinaSage4398 Good I had repled repled most of the starter gear with questinstae stuff by the mid 60s. The helm, the brers, the sigil, and one of the trinkets lasted til 68, but all of those (eept the sigil) were repled within the first few hours of northrend questing (and by 71 all my outland gear was gone too.)I’ve repled my shoulders andhest at 63 with a questedhest and brute foe things from UB. Gem the shoulders up and they give me a good bit more staminadef rating. Ofourse they’ll last me till like 66 or so and I’ll dump those too probably.i kept the originalsause they lookool, and i need a reason to use bank slots. i was repling stuffonstantly in outlands. the moment i hit northrend almost everything got repled in the first few questlines.

be people that will try and play with

While I’m sure that there will be people that will try and play with their blues until 70, either for being tooheap to upgrade gear or to try and hold onto the oolness’ ftor of the starting gear, I’ve upgraded a few pies already. While at the present state with DK’s being able to breeze through quests (I just hit 67 levelingasually, spent a good part of one day leveling up herbalism and mining) youan’t go through 70 with the gear, I repled my gear with better stats ones, even if just to differeniate myself from all the 8,000 DK’s I see running around. Funny thing is when leveling in Hellfire, it’s basally the equivalent of the Mi board on any messaging board. I would hear anything from people saying that they would keep their starting gear until level 80 to another playeromplaining about how Blizzard should keep the same gear you have now and upgrade the stats to gain attributes like you would when you gain levels. Heres my twoents. I’ve AH’ed better DK suitable stuff leveling my Paly (Healer so DK appropriate gear wasn’t for me) But am gonna miss the &quotoolness ftor” of the starter DK set. I’ll just be keeping it in the bank for those “photo op” times and maybe the casional tr to town.
