Rogue’s Gallery Updated

Posted in Tech, World of Warcraft by

I’m getting the urge to update about my World of Warcraft characters… Aka Book and the Library. I’ve done this quite a few times before.

Untitled
First up is Book. You may notice if you go back through the old posts that she looks quite different now. She sort of got a big bonk on the head when she first arrived in Panderia and woke up looking like the locals. Since it helped her to blend in she left it be. Still specialized in Assassination with a minor in Combat.

Untitled
Tatianaseray is now level 51. Fury & Prot. Still have a hard time leveling her though.

Untitled
Bookocurses also looks a bit differently from my last post. She’s 86 now and a worgen. In Cataclysm all we needed was a worgen warlock to finish the guild achievement of all available races & classes at max level & honored with the guild. I had the level & rep so I paid for a race change. She’s going back Destro though with the changes to warlocks.

Bankbook resides at level 4 with major AH addons. :)

Untitled
Booktrey now level 72. Hopefully before much longer I will have her leveled more. With the bonus XP from all her heirlooms. I’m leveling her as Prot same as Holy.

Untitled
Shepardbook is up to level 90. She’s Disc/Shadow at the moment. Though I still dislike Shadow. I’ve got her up to Throne of Thunder LFR level gear. I’m going to really hate giving up that staff. It makes my Shadowfiend/Mindbender a tiny little Sha. I love it!!!!

Untitled
Naturebook is also up to level 90. She’s my second best geared character so she’s kinda my second main. She’s mainspec’d Resto with a boomer offspec.

Untitled
Badbook is still 85. She was my 2nd level 80 & 2nd to level 85. Still Blood/Unholy. I need to make time to level her.

Untitled
Holybook is now up to level 90. She’s my third best geared character kinda my 3rd main :D She’s mainspec Holy with a Protection off-spec.

Untitled
Shiftybook is now up to level 39. I never seem to have time to play her as well.

Untitled
Shubook is new to this gallery. She’s my windwalker monk. Up to level 53 cause monks are so easy to level with the Enlightenment XP bonus.

Untitled
Hunterbook is now up to level 85. Still Beastmastery.

Untitled
Magebook is now up to 40. She’s Fire now. Still having problems leveling her despite my RNG pick which alt to work on seems to pick her alot.

Untitled
Shammybook is now level 80. Still Elemental/Resto.

Tools of WoW Investigation: WoW Reforge

Posted in Tech by

While I can spout off such things as what is the basic stat you want (ie Agility, Strength, Intellect) for each spec a lot of the “finer” details I have to research. So I thought I’d share some sources I currently use.

WoW Reforge http://www.wow-reforge.com

When Cataclysm went live Reforging came with it. It was a way to “make do” with gear drops. Secondary stats can be changed. Back in ICC I refused to roll on Ikfirus’ Sack of Wonder. It had all this Hit & Expertise on it plus 3 gem slots. I stuck with my Sanctified Shadowblade Breastplate with Crit, haste & 2 gem slots. Why? It wasn’t for my 4 piece set bonus. It was because I was over the hit cap. WAY OVER. So far over that it was a wasted stat for me. As an Assassination Rogue I need to hit the spell hit cap (17%) instead of the special attacks (aka melee) hit cap (8%) . Actually by the end of ICC I was over the cap on Hit, Expertise & Crit. I was stacking Attack Power & Haste because those were the only things left. With reforging I can get rid of my overage and can fiddle with secondary stats, but that requires math. So I use this site to help. I log out in the gear I will be using. Pull my character up on the website, manually select that hit is at my desired setting and expertise, then with a push of the OPTIMISE button you get a guide to reforge.

Sometimes  it seems a little weird like reforging out of hit on 1 piece of gear while reforging into hit on another. But in the end I ended up exactly at 17.0% hit & more mastery than before.

World of Warcraft Addon: WoW-Pro Guides

Posted in Uncategorized by

WoW-Pro Guides + TomTom

I was almost certain this addon was going to be like when I tried Zygor’s Guides or Dugi’s Guides addons for World of Warcraft where you get levels 1-20 for free, but they want to to pay for 21-85, but no this one is totally free. For me it’s replacing TourGuide addon when their modules didn’t get updated with the move to Cataclysm.

I like this kinda thing because it gives me an organized to do list. I like not having to think about questing. Outlands & Northrend still follow some of the older lines of questing where going to X area of the zone, then cross over to another area & pick up a quest that sends you back to X area.

Two features I noticed when looking at this addon’s options was Auto-accept & Auto-turn-in of quests. It’s off by default, but I turned it on as I normally don’t read quest texts anyway. Yes, I know I’m horrible. But the auto feature allows me to do it in less mouse clicks.

World of Warcraft

I also like some of the sticky tasks this addon provides. This allows me to see all the steps I need to do in a given area in the World of Warcraft. I.E. pick up seeds off the ground, kill birds for the quest, plus collect feathers off said birds. I’m completing 3 quests at once. I love things that boink me over the head & make me do that.

I have 4 characters in Outlands at the moment. Outlands is better designed than Vanilla Azaroth, but was the very next generation of the questing. It’s not as smooth as Northrend of the revamped Cataclysm areas. It currently is the oldest of the designed/unrevamped areas in World of Warcraft & hence has some design problems of the area. There is no auto complete of the quests without going back to a quest giver. There aren’t even vehicle mechanics in Outlands (that was added with Wrath of the Lich King).

There’s also 3 settings level for the addon you can choose from for the level of completion of a Warcraft zone. Level 1 is complete every quest. This is great for those going for Loremaster. In fact, I plan to use this with Book working on hers. Level 2 is complete the majority of the quests in the zone. Level 3 is the minimum needed to clear the zone.

If you are already partially leveled or partway through a Warcraft zone, just pick a zone appropriate to your level. The addon learns which quests you have already done & automatically marks those quests as completed.
