you're right, with bc we got cloak of shadows, deadly throw, the ability to use both our daggers, make our finishers undodgable?? and intercept, minus the stun, with a longer cd that requires to first snare ourselves. you got a fucking AE stun that does damage, a stunning/cleaving pet that takes 30% of your damage and increases your damage 20%, seed of corruption, the most powerful AE in the game, a snare with 0 cast 0 diminishing returns and 0 cool down. are you really fucking trying to talk about another class qq'ing over a nerf? blizz even acknowledges locks are overpowered in pvp.

i kill locks just fine as sword spec, stunlocking arena geared locks from 100 to 0 ftw 12/1/2007 12:42:12 PM |

everything I mentioned for rogues was a 41 point talent as well. I am mace spec. I DO kill locks. I just think it's bullshit that once rogues get a decent pvp spec, you know, one that's somewhat rogue like (where stealth works and all that good shit), we nerfed 2 weeks later. It not like we kill things now that we didn't kill before. every warrior is ms/deathwish and everyone said they were op'd. what happens? they get all their shit in the same tree to make spec'ing for pvp easier and more flexible and a slight nerf to mace spec (I haven't seen it btw). nerf hemo all you want, but atleast give rogues the mobility they've been asking for for atleast a year. hemo is just a pacifier we aren't ready to give up for 0 alternative 12/1/2007 1:24:00 PM |

Not that I dont think rogues deserve a little more, but they stand a decent chance against warlocks. Try taking on a lock as a shaman - theres just no chance without blowing a 10 min cooldown, regardless of either class' spec. 12/1/2007 4:41:10 PM |

Just got on my lock to try out this sl/sl spec. Blows for burst damage but lols at top KBs, Damage, Healing, and very few deaths in every wsg today. 12/1/2007 6:17:10 PM |

So from what I hear they are chaning earth shield to a 30s cooldown, but possibly making it trainable and replacing the 41 point talent with something else. 12/1/2007 6:46:27 PM |
soulfire963 Suspended 1587 Posts user info edit post |
^ they may as well just make all talent abilities trainable. in about a year i expect all other good talent abilities to become trainable anyway. 12/1/2007 7:34:56 PM |

for pve, dw fury is prob the best dps spec with good +hit gear
for pvp definately MS 12/2/2007 7:43:54 PM |

ok, then on the pve side, would i look for fast or slow weapons for dw? 12/2/2007 7:49:46 PM |
soulfire963 Suspended 1587 Posts user info edit post |
if im not mistaken, i believe its relatively fast weapons for both hands for PvE (better rage gen, and bloodthirst is based off AP, not weapons)

^Bloodhoof has low Horde que times and very high win rates, or so i hear. I know the win ratio is high for them, but i'm alliance.
On that note, if any casual alliance raiders are looking for a transfer my guild downed the second boss of zul'aman tonight, most of us live in the raleigh area and/or go to NC State, we all get along pretty well.

Important quotes:
Quote : | "Among the headlines: this merger has not ignited any plans for a “World of Warcraft” console game. “We don’t have any plans on the console side,” Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime said. “Blizzard’s focus is on the PC side. If we were to release anything on the console side it would be managed on the Blizzard side of the business.”" |
Quote : | "Most of the talk on the call involved financials and repeated explanations that the combined company is projected to have the largest income of any game publisher. Activision CEO Robert Kotick estimated that Activision Blizzard will have 15% of the $28 billion worldwide gaming market, allowing plenty of room for growth. He said the company will have 6000 employees, about half of them in “product development.”" |
From the original deal, this "merger" was essentially Vivendi/Blizzard buying 52% of Activision with $1.7 billion in straight cash. All your monies, hard at work
