State of My Toons when Cataclysm Dropped

Launch The Kingslayer — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 10:35:09 +0000

I wanted to write a post that lists my toons and their levels at the time of the Cataclysm release. I wish that I had done this when Lich King dropped, but I never thought about it. So here goes:

The Warrior – 80
The Mage – 80
Launch, My Shaman – 80
The Paladin – 80
The Druid – newest 80, only hit 80 about a month before
The Hunter – just hit 70
The Deathknight – 68
The Warlock - 79. He is on my 2nd account right now, and I rarely play him
The Priest – 70 and holding. I turned off XP on him to run him in BC heroics, just for something different to do. However, I haven’t logged him in for about 2-3 months.
The Rogue - my lowbie. 42 at the time of this post.

I also have a lowbie Shaman who is 40, and a new Goblin Warrior that I just started to do the beginning Goblin quests. Some of us in the guild have started some new toons with plans to do dungeons on them for all the guild dungeon achievements, which should be quite fun.

ICC Winding Down

Launch The Kingslayer — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 19:28:29 +0000

I’ve noticed over the past few weeks that people’s interest in ICC seems to be dwindling. Most of our guild has the Kingslayer title already, so I think people are just taking a break until Cataclysm drops. I’ve been taking 1 team of mains, and a 2nd team of alts into ICC each week for 2-3 weeks. We have done 7/12 on Heroic in the mains run, but the alts run we only do the boat ship. Last Thursday we combined the groups on the 2nd night and went all the way to Sindragosa. I plan to extend the lockout next week and take that team back in to down Sindy and the Lich King. I will be running my Warrior on this run, who doesn’t have the KS title yet. Several of the other toons in the guild are alts and do not have the title, so it should be a good run for everyone.

New Talent Trees I will be using

Launch The Kingslayer — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 00:30:54 +0000

Of course I will end up tweaking most of these later after some experimentation, but I think for my 5 80s, these are going to be my initial builds.

Of The Ashen Verdict

Darthmarco — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 17:27:29 +0000

I actually got this title on The Shaman a couple of months ago, but I never posted about it. Running ICC10 and then ICC25 each week, you gain reputation very quickly with this faction. When you first enter either ICC raid, you start at Neutral, like most factions.

When you reach Friendly, you are able to pickup and turn in a quest to a quest giver inside of the raid. You are able to choose a ring for whatever spec you are rolling. The ring is then upgraded when you reach Honored, Revered, and then lastly at Exalted. I am posting the Resto Shammy rings below because those are the ones I got. These rings would also work for a Holy Paladin. They have MP5 stats on them, which is technically not for a Priest, but there are no other options for healers, so most Priests will use these too…. Holy or Discipline.

Friendly	[Ashen Band of Wisdom]
Honored	[Ashen Band of Greater Wisdom]
Revered	[Ashen Band of Unmatched Wisdom]
Exalted	[Ashen Band of Endless Wisdom]

10Man Naxx, Warrior on the Rise

Darthmarco — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:01:04 +0000

The Warrior ran 10-Man Naxx last night and got 3 new pieces of gear. His DPS was still quite low at around 1450 on KT, the last boss. I think I might try and find a rotation somewhere to increase DPS, the one I am using now is BloodThirst, Whirlwind and Heroic Strike, mostly.

The three new pieces I got were a new Helm, Chest Piece, and a new Trinket. Of course the armor is all plate and the trinket increases Crit/AP.

I am not overly interested in gearing out my Warrior, but the guild was running a 10-man last night and my Shammy is decked is T7.5 or higher, so I thought I would learn some fights with the Warrior instead. I enjoyed it alot and I hope I can run some more to get better gear and his DPS up much more.

Children’s Week Achievments – Warsong Gulch

Darthmarco — Tue, 05 May 2009 18:52:13 +0000

I used to get real burned out on PVP, but I have found lately that I am enjoyin them more. BGs were especially fun last night. Some friends and I ran into the Alliance flag room in WSG… picked up the flag, and then dropped it in front of the AC there and let them return it. At first they tried to kill us, and we died a couple of times, but then I ran back and started dancing with them and they finally got it. Several of them pulled out the orphans and we just sat there, in peace with Allies, for several minutes, picking up their flag and dropping it for them to return. This was after I had already got mine in our flag room. I think some of the Allies in there were doing the same thing, they seemed to be running slower than normal. It was quiet funny, I was laughing the whole time. Definately the most fun I have had in a BG, in a long time.

Lowest DPS in 25-man VoA

Darthmarco — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 16:02:38 +0000

So The Warrior went and ran 25-man VoA after we won WG on Saturday. My plan wasn’t to go, but I got invited, so I went. I have run this before on The Warrior, so it isn’t new to him (I’ve run it many times on my healer, so I know the dungeon..) but I haven’t run the new boss yet with The Warrior.

We go in and kill all the trash, then kill Archavon and some nice plate pants drop for me, which I won the roll on. However, they threw up the DPS meter and I was around 1100 DPS, right at the bottom of the list. I beat the tank, but that was all. And of course this is a pug group, so everyone starts complaining about me and a couple of other low DPSers. And honestly, I cannot blame them, one reason I stopped playing this toon is because his DPS sucks. And it is next to impossible to find RAID runs with a non-geared DPS Fury Warrior. Most groups want me to tank, and I absolutely hate tanking with a warrior, so I never want to do that, and no one wants a non-geared warrior. I have run some heroics and I do have a few epic pieces, but still… no one wants a warrior. So I stopped playing him, and this weekend, I was reminded why.

And its ok, I am not upset about it, I know his DPS sucks. My plan is to get The Mage to 80, he is almost 71 right now, and he will be my main DPS.

Warrior DPS Gear

Cold Flying at Level 77

bluepumpkin — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:43:45 +0000

Yes, the Warrior hit Level 77 last night. It costs 1000g to get Cold Weather Flying from the trainer, who is right next to the Flight Master in Dalaran. Once you get this, you can use your previous flying mount from Outlands in Northrend.

As a follow-up to a comment in my previous post about Northrend Gear… I have noticed a significant difference between The Warrior, who wears Plate, and The Warlock, who is now 71 and a Cloth Wearer. There seems to be a larger abundance of Cloth gear in Northrend, than Plate gear. This was also true when I first got to Outlands, it was frustrating because most of the Plate was Paladin gear, having Intellect and Spell Power/Healing buffs. So Warrior Plate seems to be in shirt supply, so if you are leveling a Warrior, go get some Level 70 Purples from Karazhan or other BC instances, it will last you a long time in Northrend.

One funny part about Northrend flying is that there are “No Fly Zones” so when you enter one of these, it pops a message on your screen and tells you that you will dismounted, then it kicks you off about 10 seconds later. This happens inside the City of Dalaran also, you can only fly near the Flight Master.

Battle for the Undercity

bluepumpkin — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 20:28:41 +0000

I am doing this quest right now. I highly suggest that everyone on Horde do this quest. There is a bonus in-game video when you turn in the Quest titled Return to Angrather. It is quite exciting.

The Warrior is at 73 right now and will be 74 tonight. FOR THE HORDE!

***EDIT***
After I completed this quest, I learned a couple of things. At first, I couldn’t figure out where to go or what to do. After you port from Orgrimmar to the entrance of Undercity, you are supposed to talk to Thrall to start the quest. He wasn’t there when I got there, so I went in and got killed. I later learned that if he isn’t there, that means someone else is running the raid. Simply wait at the entrance, by the big troll who gives you the quest, for Thrall to reappear. Once he comes back, talk to him and get started. This is really a glorified escort quest…all you need to do is follow Thrall until the very end. There is also a meter at the top of your screen that will tell you which part of the quest is going on. Wait for that to say it is resetting and that is when Thrall will appear at the entrance again.
