00:06.15Repo- Glyph of Mind Flay stacks additively with Twisted Faith but multiplicatively with Darkness, which is the opposite of how talents stack on Mind Flay
00:06.15Repo- Glyph of Renew is bugged and reduces talent effects by 20% (Spiritual Healing, Twin Disciplines, Improved Renew but not Focused Power or Blessed Resilience)
00:06.17Repo- Fixed Glyph of Holy Nova, adjusted Holy Nova coefficient slightly
00:06.18Repo- Mind Sear can crit
00:06.58Gagorianarkanes: Your melee and ranged crit is lowered against bosses by 4.8%
00:07.09GagorianWhich is what bosses seem to do
00:11.59harlhasn't there been a patch note sometime in the late, stating that i was now allowed to join LookingForGroup from anywhere in the world?
00:13.53*** join/#wowace Next96 (Next96@121.129.140.91)
00:14.19harlwas that just a simple re-instatement of allowing usage of the /join command to join that channel from anywhere? shouldn't it actually enable the channel even outside the capital cities?
00:15.50harli don't know of any times that either the channel or joining it wasn't possible, so i didn't quite get their intention with this.
00:16.15harl+wasn't available
00:17.18harland why don't people just create their own LFG channels if the official one's such a crap..
00:18.13arkanesharl: blizzard doesn't want a global chat channel
00:18.26arkanesand any channel which is global will become one, no matter what its named
00:19.45Repo10stackings: 03profalbert 07master * v0.1-beta-24-g8b9548b / (2 files in 1 directory): [+1 commit] remove and recreate all bars on profile-switch
00:19.53harlwhich is a contradictory situation
00:19.56arkanesGagorian: do you know how recent that is? I know back in the classic days, bosses didn't seem to depress crit rates except from their level, and in fact the discrepency between expected and actual crit rates was one of the ways that we discovered the one-roll system for specials
00:20.10arkanesharl: thats why they don't have global channels
00:20.41arkanesobvioulsy people can create their own, and they do, but thats different from the system ones that you're automatically placed in
00:21.30harlbut that's just because there aren't as many people using that possibility
00:21.36arkanesright
00:21.41arkanesthats the key difference right there
00:21.52arkanesalso player created channels are/can be moderated by the players using them
00:21.57arkanesyou can't moderate, say, trade chat
00:22.34arkanesthats 2 roll system for specials, of course
00:22.36arkanessilly me :(
00:23.16harlwell what if all people of a realm joined a custom LFG channel. is blizzard's shiny b.net chat system too lazy to get along with this or why wouldn't they just enable their native LFG to become global by choice.
00:23.45arkanesthat wouldn't ever happen
00:24.01harlpreferrably even cross-realm or rather realm pool wide
00:24.03arkanes*if* it did, and it started to happen across all realms, then maybe blizzard would change their minds
00:24.23arkanesits got nothing to do with "shiny new b.net" or laziness, it's a policy and game design decision
00:24.56harlso: they think the amount of people really wanting/needing a global LFG chat is that small that they prevent it from the beginning to keep down their traffic with it?
00:25.01*** join/#wowace dracula (dracula@dhcp-077-249-083-244.chello.nl)
00:25.08arkanesit's not about keeping down traffic
00:25.21harlyeah ok, it's blizzard.
00:25.36arkanesI'm paraphrasing GC here
00:25.58arkanesbut they want to keep a sense of seperation and space in the world to begin with, to diffrentiate between the cities and everywhere else
00:26.19arkanesLFD erodes that, which is why they experimented with the global LFG channel on the PTR
00:26.35arkanesbut no global channel will ever be used for its "intended" purpose, global LFG just becomes global barrens chat
00:26.58arkanesand beyond that its not useful even if it were used for its intended purpose, because you're not talking to the people you want to group with, you're talking to everyone
00:27.03harlif i had a choice *now*, i'd prefer the global LFG channel over the newer LFD system, anyway.
00:27.14arkanesso we stick with global channels in the cities only, and the LFD system doesn't have talking
00:27.47arkaneswell, we can agree to disagree there
00:27.57harlwhich is a shame to begin with, talking of bettering the overall communication in the game.
00:27.57arkanesI have no interest in having to /leave more channels because people need to talk about their butts
00:28.36harli agree with that.
00:29.00harljust trying to get their intentions with *not* just making it a choice to the player. *shrug*
00:29.30arkanesgame design isn't about giving choices to players
00:29.37arkanesthats easy, and what you get is second life

08:25.46kandarzIt's a secure state driver toggling visibility of the Bonus Action Bar while in combat
08:26.42kandarzI had problems with taint as I was trying to Unregister the driver in combat that would make it so my Bonus Action bar was being shown in human form during combat if I shifted out of shapeshift
08:26.44profalbertyes, maybe you want to look at how bartender4 handles it. (I mean look at the options not the code)
08:27.24kandarzBartender is way different, it alters the actions of the buttons. I'm only hiding a frame.

10:10.50Adirellewell, my "local" computer store accepts paypal payments, so that's not so bad

10:11.34vhaarrnevcairiel: I have two new characters created recently, and the map does not open on them when I have Mapster enabled. The map open sound is heard when I click M, but nothing happens.
10:11.52nevcairieli bet its off screen somewhere
10:12.11vhaarrone of them is a DK, which I haven't tried before, and in their starting area I just figured it was a blizzard thing
10:12.27vhaarrbut when I got to hellfire peninsula I started getting worried and tried disabling mapster
10:12.44vhaarrthe other character is a banker so I never used the map on him before, but it doesn't work on him either
10:15.23nevcairieli have a char with no mapster SV data and it seems to work fine

11:12.54[Ammo]what a butt ugly game
11:13.02Fiskerfuck you [Ammo]
11:13.09[Ammo]well it looks shit
11:13.14Wobinasmodai, pft
11:13.15[Ammo]what game is it?
11:13.15nevcairiellooks exactly like sc1 with a bit better gfx
11:13.18Wobinwhat a -silly- question
11:13.20FiskerTo be fair the compression it uses sucks a bit
11:13.22asmodaiWobin: I know, I know. >_<
11:13.38nevcairiel[Ammo]: sc2
11:13.43asmodainevcairiel: I reckon the engine was substantially overhauled though
11:13.49[Ammo]nevcairiel: ah
11:13.55[Ammo]remind me not to get that game
11:13.58nevcairieli kinda would've expected a bit more, still
11:14.12asmodaiMore of what? :)
11:14.17nevcairielfrom all i've seen its exactly the same game
11:14.24nevcairiela handful of new units
11:14.28nevcairieland better gfx
11:15.14nevcairielIf i compare that with Warcraft -> WC2 -> WC3 .. they had alot more change in there
11:15.15Fisker+ new story + new maps + new community features + new mapping/modding features + new battle.net features
11:15.18FiskerALSO OMG ACHIEVEMENTS
11:15.24sztanphetyou can feel at home in it if you played sc1 but you wont get away with the same shit
11:15.29Fiskerhow so nevcairiel ?
11:15.59asmodaiI guess they cannot get too crazy though, it would alienate the Korean leagues ;)
11:16.55Fiskerhaving played WC2 i could easily use the same claim with WC2 vs. WC3
11:17.18nevcairieljus that WC3 added like 2 new playable races and all that
11:17.30[Ammo]well the game looks like someone pulled some 1995 graphics out of their ass
11:17.36Fiskerlol
11:17.51[Ammo]if that screenshot from fisker is representative of it
11:18.00krkaSC came in 1998 where almost all games were 3d
11:18.10krkaSC stuck with 2d and earned a gazillion users / dollars
11:18.23asmodaiSo much hate. :(
11:18.27Fiskerhttp://games.softpedia.com/screenshots/Command-Conquer-Red-Alert-Gold-XP-Patch_1.jpeg <-can anyone tell me if that's SC2 or Red Alert 1?
11:18.30nevcairiel12 years of development, and i still don't see the big "ooooh"
11:18.41FiskerI can't see because of how good the game looks
11:19.13asmodainevcairiel: I doubt it's been in full development for 12 years though.
11:19.15FiskerSC2 is the best looking RTS on the market
11:19.20sylvanaar_atwork12 years is a long time

11:20.15Repo10tradeforwarder (experimental): 03warbaby 041.12 * r4 : Tagging as 1.12
11:20.17asmodaiSC heavily leans on the gameplay and balancing. Something C&C totally lost with recent versions. :(
11:20.51nevcairieli didnt really play C&C much since RA1
11:21.15krkastrange to find a bunch of "ooh, graphics is everything"-people in a channel focused on wow :P

11:22.36nevcairielsomehow i think that C&C 4 screenshot there looks better
11:22.47nevcairielbut i hate game play of those full 3d rts games
11:22.53Wobinwell
11:22.59Wobinit's the 'new' game
11:23.05Wobinthat's intending to be all the rage
11:23.10Wobinso it had -better- be pretty
11:23.23[Ammo]krka: WoW looks pretty good in a cartoony way, it all fits together
11:23.34[Ammo]unlike for instances the stickered on characters of conan
11:23.34nevcairielYeah, i actually like the cartoony looks
11:23.45nevcairielthe faked real looks are really worse
11:24.09nevcairielWoW could use a new engine, but its not *bad*
11:25.44sylvanaar_atworkwhat does repo publish via mercurial - i forget - the 'default' branch?
11:26.16Wobinmainline?
11:26.19nevcairieli think its called "default" in mercurial, yes

12:36.57nevcairielits also the game that invented the zergs
12:37.32nevcairielbut thats one of the reasons why i'm not into rts much
12:37.37nevcairieleverything is just rush rush
12:37.40nevcairieli like building stuff
12:38.04hastenah, it's about planning and balancing between defending and attacking :P
12:38.05nevcairieland planning attacks, instead of just surprise rush or brute force
12:41.02Megalonit's about timing
12:41.39Megalonand planning
12:47.36Megalonand yea, if you time/plan and your opponent doesn't
12:47.36Megalonit won't be a long game
12:47.36Megalonbut that's true for any rts
12:47.41nevcairielarent there maps that required you to have flying units to cross over water or similar?
12:49.59asmodainevcairiel: at least inside the campaign of SC1. Not sure for the skirmish ones.
12:50.13hastewouldn't protoss be kinda gimped then or?
12:50.23nevcairielthey have shuttles, and carriers!
12:50.30hastecarriers don't carry!
12:50.31nevcairieli loved carriers
12:50.35nevcairielthey are so awesome
12:50.45hasteand they are countered so easily :D
12:51.08nevcairieleverything has a working countermeasure
12:51.12nevcairielbut they are still fun
12:55.14krkai was pretty awesome at my carrier/observer/corsair combo
12:55.44krkaworked against mostly anything with some proper micro
12:56.55olafskiwith nevcairiel :P
12:57.09olafskisupreme commander has buildings that take like 30 minutes to build yet nobody uses them
12:57.30nevcairiel30 minutes is pretty long :p
12:57.41olafskiyeah
12:57.46olafskiyou can use more builders of course ;)
12:58.04olafskibut who doesn't want artillery that can shoot across the entire map

13:44.25Fiskeri walled myself in with pylons :P
13:44.53Fiskerhad seen he had 2 gateways without any units around it so figured he were rushing me
13:45.01Fiskerso i said "no screw you"
13:45.20asmodaiBefore he crushed you
13:45.23asmodai? :)
13:45.25Fiskerhe didn't :)
13:45.33FiskerHe sent his zealots back
13:45.36FiskerThey got crushed by me
13:45.41Fiskerall but like 1 probe got killed
13:45.47Fiskerhis entire base was killed
13:46.06FiskerThe only thing he had left was a probe, and those canons + pylons :P
13:46.43FiskerWell i actually think he went to build a new nexus
13:46.54FiskerBut at that point i was teching void rays anyway
13:48.05olafskiwhat's that big unit on 4 legs he builds next to his hatcheries?

14:17.13KriLL3not very strategic but it's nice to zoom in on detailed stuff
14:17.18olafskizooming in sounds like a very important feature in an rts.. nothing gives you control like looking at a zergling up close ;)
14:17.32olafskiin that video they did zoom a bit.. dunno if that was as far as you can go though
14:17.44KriLL3heh true, but it looks cool, and good for story bits, zoom in on the characters

14:20.51quiescensthere wasn't really any more um
14:20.57quiescensdetail, to see in the original starcraft
14:21.20quiescensit was essentially sprites wasn't it?
14:21.24olafskiyes
14:21.58KriLL3yeah
14:22.35Fiskernah it was dx11 powered back then
14:22.55KriLL3was SC out before WC3? it was right?
14:23.04KriLL3WC3 was blizzard's first 3D game
14:23.37KriLL3which was nice for them, since you didn't have to re-animate your characters in all 6 directions when you tweaked something, and all their animations in those directions
14:23.57olafskimaybe they used 3d characters but just saved the rendered versions as sprites in sc
14:23.59KriLL3in 3D you just modify the model
14:24.18olafskibut yeah, wc3 was released 4 years after sc it seems
14:24.18KriLL3yeah, though some manual effort would still be required
14:24.26olafskiyou could automate that process
14:24.27krkai think SC stuff was rendered mostly
14:24.41olafskinot much more manual stuff is needed than if you use 3d models in the game
14:24.57KriLL3olafski: to a certain extent, but 3d models don't rasterize well
14:25.09KriLL3can get quite muddled
14:25.12olafskiso you use proper rendering settings
14:25.19olafskiI'm sure they didn't manually export all those units
14:26.20krkait's not too many though
14:26.33krkathey probably did automatic export up until beta
14:26.40krkathen the artists handtweaked them
14:26.46krkanever to be modified again
14:26.51KriLL3olafski: well if you listen to blizzcast you'd know they did actually have to tweak by hand
14:26.52olafskigood point :>
14:27.07olafskimeh blizzcast
14:27.16KriLL3and WC3 was a big improvement, since they didn't have to do that anymore
14:27.18olafskilistened to one, then I decided I'd rather waste my time otherwise :P
14:27.39KriLL3I like listening to podcasts while doing other stuff, commuting, grinding, daily heroic etc
14:27.57olafskiI watch shows/movies while I do that
14:28.05olafskiwell, I don't grind or commute
14:28.17KriLL3I watch shows & movies also
14:28.19olafskibut while playing wow I like to watch shows/movies, or listen to music if I'm not playing alone
14:28.25KriLL3same
14:28.30KriLL3multiple monitors ftw
14:28.41olafskiindeed
14:28.50olafskinext weekend I'm going to see if my old monitor can be fixed

14:29.59KriLL3what kind of monitor is the old one and what's wrong?
14:30.07olafskiit died, a dell 2407 wfp
14:30.18olafskigotta find out what died, if it's easy to replace that would be nice
14:30.24KriLL3most likely the capacitors
14:30.30KriLL3and they're easy to replace
14:30.34olafskiI bought a new screen.. much cheaper and that's noticable
14:30.50olafskiwell that would be good :) then my gf can have this cheapass thing and I can have my pretty colors again
14:30.50KriLL3yeah you get what you pay for generally with screens
14:30.55KriLL3though TN screens are kinda samy
14:31.01olafskishe actually likes the colors of the new one better
14:31.16KriLL3are they exaggerated?
14:31.25olafskiI find them too bland
14:31.34olafskicould be that I was used to exaggerated colors though
14:31.44KriLL3hmm true
14:31.44olafskibut I want it to look as it used to look, don't care if it's "proper" colors ;)
14:32.01KriLL3Nvidia added an option to blow up all colors in their drivers at some point, no idea what possessed them
14:32.24olafski:)
14:32.27KriLL3I prefer proper colors, you get used to them and feel like it's saturated
14:32.46KriLL3kinda like putting less sugar in your coffee/tea, do it long enough and it tastes as sweet
14:33.10KriLL3as long as you don't drink soda or some other sugar in liquid form disguised as a beverage
14:33.14olafskisure.. but why do something you hate for a few months just to get used to it when you can solve it in a way where you don't have to do something you hate? :P
14:33.34olafskiwhen I was younger I got used to drinking beer.. sure didn't like the taste of that at first
14:33.46olafskidunno why we do that.. peer pressure I guess
14:33.54olafskiI've been drinking coffee for years now but I still hate the taste :P
14:34.29KriLL3I like the taste actually, well with some milk
14:34.41olafskiI have mine black.. but I only drink coffee when I have guests
14:34.47olafskiand even then only half a cup else my stomach turns upside down
14:35.03SunTsuolafski: then, why dring it?
14:35.15SunTsudrink even
14:35.27olafskidunno really.. to blend in for lack of a better word ;)
14:35.39olafskieven though all my friends know my stomach can't really stand coffee
14:36.19SunTsuolafski: all my friends know that I don't drin coffee, and they only expect to get served tea when they visit me
14:36.19olafskialso because I'm too lazy to make tea just for myself, and because it doesn't have a lot of calories in it ;)
14:36.36arkanesolafski: you might try some different coffees
14:36.48SunTsuI don't even have a coffee machine, nor coffee
14:36.49arkanesif its the oils that make your stomach upset for example
14:36.51olafskicould do but it's pretty much a proven fact that I can't stand caffein
14:37.26arkaneswell tea has caffeine in it too
14:37.31arkanesbah I can't talk, I have a meeting
14:37.32olafskisure but much less
14:37.43olafskiI think my stomach is getting better though.. used to have trouble with it nearly every day and now it hardly ever hurts anymore :)
14:37.44arkanesolafski: depends on the type of tea but no, not really
14:37.47SunTsuarkanes: depends on what tea you are talking about
14:38.04arkanesblack teas will have about the same
14:38.13SunTsuarkanes: roijboos and herbal teas don't have caffeein
14:38.35arkanesthe difference is between "none" and "about the same", though
14:38.47arkanesgone for real :)
14:38.54olafskisee ya :)
14:39.30SunTsugreen tea actually has more, but releases it in a slower way, therefore it lasts longer but doesn't give you the kick
14:40.09olafskiI better stick to herbal tea then
14:40.38olafskidoc told me to consume as little as possible of caffeine, alcohol, fat, sugar.. pretty much anything that is nice
14:40.43SunTsuolafski: or roijboos, which tates, quite fine, IMHO
14:40.55olafskioh I don't like that =(
14:41.14SunTsutastes even - I really need some new fingers, the old ones always miss
14:41.33olafskihave about 30 different teas standing on the counter, I try a different one every time.. I like "sweet wood" if that's an english term :)
14:41.49olafskiguess not
14:41.58olafskioh it's called Liquorice in english :)
14:42.31krkalakrits!
14:42.46krkadutch liquorice is pretty bad, swedish tastes much better!
14:42.50Yivryello all... question, is there a way to detect if the game is running in the fore- or background?
14:42.56olafskipsh krka
14:42.59SunTsuI normally drink black tea, but then I really don't have to care about caffeine, I can drink as much as I want to and still sleep like a baby
14:43.02krkaYivry: look at the screen
14:43.04nevcairielyeah the swedish produce some awesome liquorice
14:43.13olafskiI like both types of liquorice

14:43.20olafskiat least I think I've tried swedish liquorice :)
14:43.22ThraeYivry: Progrmatically, or by sight?
14:43.27krkaYivry: no botting allowed :(
14:43.47Yivryaddon cant be bot ;)
14:43.51olafskisuntsu: I only notice the downsides of caffeine usually ;)
14:44.00olafskidoesn't keep me awake at all
14:44.08krkaaddon can simplify bot
14:44.13SunTsuYivry: there was some addon that audible tells you about things that happen when you tabbed out, so yes, there must be a way
14:44.19ThraeYivry: Addons can't interact with programs outside of WoW except on a /reloadui, which is the only time they're allowed to write something somewhere vulnerable.
14:44.37krkaaddons cant check active/inactive state for the wow context
14:44.47quiescenshe didn't say he wanted a bot or to interact with outside programs o.o
14:45.02olafskihttp://www.wowace.com/addons/alt-tab-toggle/ <-- Alt-Tab Toggle (ATT) will force WoW to the foreground on events when you're alt-tabbed. Optionally you can choose to only play a sound when one of these events fire. Then you can tab back into WoW at your leisure.
14:45.05nevcairielHe didnt say he didnt want to, either!
14:45.09SunTsuolafski: fun thing is: when I'm wide awake caffeine makes me tired, and makes me wide awake when I am already tired
14:45.51SunTsuwasn't there a bug recently that prohibitted addons to run while the game is in background?
14:46.14nevcairielSunTsu: if it makes you awake when you're tired, isnt it how its supposed to work?
14:46.34olafskiyeah suntsu there was that bug I think
14:46.45olafskinevcairiel: but it also works the other way around
14:46.52olafskiseems to be like some kind of toggle ;)
14:47.23SunTsunevcairiel: yeah, but when I'm awake it does the opposite thing
14:47.37SunTsunevcairiel: which I doubt is the way itÄs supposed to work
14:47.57nevcairielbut since you know that, you can workaround that "bug" :d
14:48.20olafski:)
14:48.46ThraeAh, these "Foreground/Background" checkers are basically an elaborate way of checking the FPS which is naturally 0 (or around so) when its not rendering anything, like when minimized.
14:48.46olafskiall I know is that it makes my stomach hurt and it makes me have to go to the toilet a lot
14:48.59olafskismart idea
14:50.20nevcairielthat sounds like really bad coffee
14:50.34olafskithey also note it doesn't work when you play windowed, which is what most people I know do
14:50.34nevcairieli used to get that from the sucky coffee at work
14:50.50olafskinevcairiel: I get it from pretty much anything.. got a "midriff breach"
14:50.55ThraeWoW was changed a long time ago so that the main, graphics, sound, and network threads are all separate and can be shut down separately. I remember when the first addition was made to allow sounds to continue when a minimize event is done.
14:50.57*** join/#wowace CrazyBenny (~s_m@83.240.31.172)
14:51.07olafskinevcairiel: it's a lot better now, since I went on a diet :)
14:52.04nevcairielThrae: since 3.3 the sound in background breaks too, though
14:52.04ThraeWas nice for BGs
14:52.04nevcairielthey messed something up there
14:52.04Thraenevcairiel: Really? That sucks. Probably them trying to upgrade the engine to be more thread-smart with more people running multiple cores and multiple logical cores.
14:52.36ThraeWhich, in a gaming engine, is a PITA as John Carmack said (although what does he know, he just got bought out by EA)
14:53.02ThraeWaaait
14:53.03pentium166ea?
14:53.03SunTsuWoW running under wine never notices if it's in background or not :)
14:53.10ThraeNo, he got bought out by ZeniMax Media
14:53.29ThraeI'm getting my super-producers mixed up.
14:53.35olafskiif they own john carmack, perhaps they can give him a haircut
14:53.49olafskiand new glasses and perhaps a suit
14:53.57ThraeHehe, John Carmack doesn't actually own id Software, he's technically a "Technical Advisor"
14:54.19ThraeThese days I think his name and worth is about as much as Sid Meirs
14:54.58ThraePeople want cross-platform (console) compatibility and John Carmack has always been a big PC gaming developer.
14:55.01olafskias long as he stays away from molyneux all is fine
14:55.27olafskiyeah, in 5 years it'll be just carmack and blizzard developing games for pc :)
14:55.48ThraeWell, I want him to improve Bethesda's Fallout 3 (Gamebyro-based) engine for New Vegas.
14:56.02pentium166not going to happen because bethesda is stubborn :(
14:56.06nevcairieldoesnt he usually just cook up his own engines?
14:56.15KriLL3Thrae: better if they drop it and make a new one or use a better one
14:56.28KriLL3it's old, broken and horrible
14:56.36Thraeolafski: More like Blizzard will be the only one developing games for MACs in 5 years
14:56.48olafskiI assume macs will be abandoned before that
14:56.59ThraeNah, Apple has marketing juju
14:57.07olafskiand handwaving
14:57.11KriLL3but but, steve says apple takes gaming seriously!
14:57.28ThraeThey do take it seriously, just no one else takes it seriously
14:57.34Thraes/it/them/
14:57.45ThraeDamn my regexp!
14:58.16olafski:D
14:58.32ThraeKriLL3: It's Gamebyro which is the problem, but New Vegas would get a nice bump even from the newest Gamebyro which has DX11 support
14:58.35olafskithere's warcraft 3, and that puzzle game with the apple logo.... photoshop..
14:59.06ThraeThankfully, New Vegas is not being developed by Bethesda
14:59.35pentium166does bethesda even upgrade gamebryo anymore though? i was under the impression that they had gone their own way with it
15:00.00ThraeUnfortunately, Oblivion (the subdivision) is based off Black Isle who have not been known for their impressive game engines either. Impressive gameplay, yes.
15:00.28Thraepentium166: Yeah when they started allowing modding in Morrowind and then again in Oblivion they kinda modded themselves into a corner.
15:00.37KriLL3they should just be done with it and stop using that old broken thing, UE3 would be better
15:01.10ThraeKriLL3: Old? Gamebyro is still being updated for new standards and recently aqquired a GPGPU division to remain relevant.
15:01.22KriLL3still, a lot of it is old code
15:01.48ThraeUE3 also sucks Nvidia's e-peen.
15:01.53KriLL3Fallout3 feels like a re-skin of Oblivion, and it's not very shiny/performance
15:01.56ThraeBut then again, so does Bethesda.
15:02.07KriLL3Thrae: eh?
15:02.39ThraeKriLL3: UE3 is the major promoter of PhysX and now CUDA.
15:02.51ThraeScratch that, UE, not UE3
15:02.55KriLL3which is a good thing
15:03.03ThraeWell both are Nvidia-proprietary
15:03.26KriLL3actually Nvidia offered PhysX to ATi for free, but they refused
15:03.52ThraeCUDA can be made to work with OpenCL, DirectCompute, and by extension, ATI's Stream, but it's still a PITA to get it work with ATI cards.
15:03.55KriLL3ATi's stubborn defiance getting in the way of progress yet again
15:04.14KriLL3Thrae: there is a solution to that problem
15:04.24ThraeKriLL3: It's more about the Intel/Nvidia secret partnership and AMD/ATI's merger.
15:04.27KriLL3buy Nvidia cards, less suckage
15:04.50ThraeHeh, I'm running one, but Fermi seems less and less exciting.
15:04.54KriLL3Thrae: you think ATi not wanting PhysX is because of intel/nvidia? right...
15:05.03KriLL3less? it's super duper powerful
15:05.08nevcairielCUDA is much more accepted then Stream, and ati still hopes they can push theirs somehow
15:05.20KriLL3and intel & nvidia aren't buddies atm, they're in a cold war
15:05.29Thraenevcairiel: Nah, ATI gave up Stream a while ago and fully supports OpenCL.
15:05.51KriLL3intel dropped all of Nvidia's chipset licenses, and never gave em any for their more recent sockets after LGA775
15:05.51nevcairielso does nvidia, but CUDA APIs are still more powerful then OpenCL 1.0, i read somewhere
15:06.01ThraeKriLL3: They're in the type of Cold War where they profit off each other despite hating each other. It's a Love-Hate relationship.
15:06.09KriLL3nevcairiel: well it's more mature, but CUDA will fall behind at some point
15:06.28KriLL3btw I don't blame intel for dropping nvidia's chipsets, they're crap
15:06.38nevcairielthey used to be good, fwiw
15:06.49harlwuff
15:06.52KriLL3I've had 3 boards with Nvidia chipsets, all of them had some issues
15:07.02KriLL3and all ran hotter than the core of the sun
15:07.08ThraeKriLL3: No, *everyone* knew Nvidia's chipsets were crap, including Nvidia, which is why Nvidia dropped themselves
15:07.27KriLL3Thrae: errm, actually intel did drop their licenses and never gave em any for the recent chipsets
15:07.35KriLL3means they're not allowed to make any
15:07.38nevcairielmaybe nvidia didnt ask :d
15:07.51KriLL3and nvidia made a very huffy statement
15:08.12ThraeYeah, but Nvidia *could* have plodded along or seriously filed suit (their current suit is more treading water)
15:08.12KriLL3the PR equivalent of "It's on bitch!"
15:08.21*** join/#wowace Silowyi (~silowyi_d@24-155-117-45.dyn.grandenetworks.net)
15:08.39KriLL3I have Nvidia started licensing SLI to Intel chipsets yet?
15:09.19ThraeEven though Intel and Nvidia hate each other viciously, I could see Intel buying Nvidia in 2011 depending on how AMD/ATI's "Fusion" works out.
15:09.43KriLL3is that the plan on putting the GPU on the CPU dye?
15:09.57SunTsuif only ATI wouldn't suck with X.org and wine...
15:10.03KriLL3Intel is already doing that, though their graphics aren't all that good
15:10.05ThraeEspecially since Nvidia's Optimus will probably make a lot of money for both companies, and favours Intel at the moment.
15:10.18nevcairielI like how nvidia even has Xorg 1.8 drivers already, and ati still doesnt have 1.7 drivers
15:10.37ThraeWell, Intel's Larabee is still around, but it looks like it'll only be for serious rendering needs.
15:10.42SunTsunevcairiel: yeah, and not only for linux but FreeBSD, too
15:10.59KriLL3my Eee 1005P has a new atom Pineview-M, onboard graphics on the CPU
15:11.09KriLL3not terribly powerful graphics, but still graphics
15:11.33ThraeI remember when ATI used to be the un-sung OSS hero with their great OpenGL *and* *nix support, but they lapsed on pretty much everything software and went hardcore hardware and now Nvidia is beating them on both software AND hardware.
15:11.56KriLL3SoC is kinda cool
15:12.27KriLL3though the issue is ofc that you have to upgrade everything if you upgrade something
15:12.53ThraeI think it's also partly AMD's fault. AMD has had good architecture ideas back during the Pentium 4 days, but recently they've just been rehashing the same thing just like ATI has and just trying to cram more transistors on smaller dies.
15:12.56KriLL3and I guess it's less optimal from a cooling standpoint
15:13.32nevcairielI'm still curious what ATI has in the shop for the 6xxx series, if they dont come up with a new architecture like nvidia has now, they'll drop fast
15:13.42ThraeWe'll see how ATI does with "Evergreen", but my sources say it's going to just be more rehashes and not a new architecture.
15:13.50KriLL3not really sure what ATI/AMD can do that this point to get back ahead, they can get ahead for a short time but like with the 58xx cards but the Fermi will clobber it
15:14.02SunTsuThrae: you realize that Intel took over amd64 as architecture and made it their own?
15:14.04ThraeOr at least it'll start with rehashes (which, arguably, so is Nvidia doing with the 3xx series)
15:14.21ThraeSunTsu: Yes, which is why I said "they had good ideas in the Pentium 4 days"
15:14.35nevcairielisnt the 3xx series just those hybrid mobile chips?
15:14.36KriLL3though frankly intel had a better idea
15:14.43KriLL3drop x86
15:14.52KriLL3new model from the ground up
15:15.12KriLL3problem would be the transition ofc, but we'd have been better off
15:15.13nevcairieleh, they wont be able to pull that off
15:15.23nevcairieli agree that it would be good for all of us
15:15.25KriLL3think EFI was part of that
15:15.27nevcairielbut it still wont happen
15:15.34KriLL3instead of BIOS
15:15.35Thraenevcairiel: No, Nvidia will be rebranding the 2xx (which are mostly rebrands from 9xxx which are mostly rebrands from 8xxx) before they ship out the Fermi, which is 4xx. They've already shipped out 3xx mobile chipsets.
15:15.36krkajust add an x86 layer
15:16.04KriLL3Thrae: actually that's not strictly accurate
15:16.06nevcairielThrae: mostly? there is like only one or two 2xx models that are rebrands
15:16.20KriLL3Nvidia for some weird reason do updated chips / dye shrinks and then call it the exact same
15:16.20SunTsukrka: which will have everybody use that - like most users use i386 mode of amd64
15:16.25hasteThrae: isn't the fermi fucked beyond repair anyway?
15:16.34KriLL38800 cards went through 3 or more cores
15:16.44KriLL3which imo is insane
15:16.52Thraenevcairiel: They're all using the same basic architecture, G80-based
15:16.53KriLL3don't give new cards the same name as the old one
15:16.54krkaSunTsu: sure, until there's a clear performance benefit of using the new architecture
15:17.00KriLL3Thrae: no
15:17.01krkawhich requires work on compilers i suppose
15:17.06Thraenevcairiel: Just better hardware sometimes
15:17.11nevcairielThrae: eh most use the G200 chips
15:17.31KriLL3G80, G82, G92, G200
15:17.41KriLL382 is a dye shrink of 80
15:17.41ThraeThe so-called G200 chips are 100% compatible with G80, they are basically G80s
15:17.46KriLL3no
15:17.46*** join/#wowace Schnaks (~Schnaks@p5486F5B9.dip.t-dialin.net)
15:18.07ThraeYou can't call a die-shrink a new architecture, I'm talking about design here
15:18.11KriLL3you're confusing the fact that nvidia released cards later with the new cores using the same name
15:18.13SunTsukrka: with amd64 there is, but you get the penalty of needing a different OS variant, different binaries, etc.
15:18.17KriLL3yes and they're different
15:18.38ThraeMoore's Law doesn't make a new design by itself
15:18.45Thraehaste: No
15:18.59KriLL3G90 is different from G80, not terribly different but different, and the G200 is very different
15:19.00hasteThrae: http://www.semiaccurate.com/2010/02/17/nvidias-fermigtx480-broken-and-unfixable/ :D ?
15:19.20Thraehaste: Inside sources just say their fans sound like a windtunnel and they get up to 70c easily
15:19.20nevcairielhaste: that article is absolutely biased
15:19.36KriLL3haste: check the top articles, that's and Nvidia bashing site
15:19.39Thraehaste: But they still have ~2 months to fix that
15:19.49hastenvidia bashing is always nice
15:19.53nevcairielthe cards are fine, they only have production issues, and those they will fix
15:19.54KriLL3why?
15:20.04hastebecause bashing is always nice!
15:20.05KriLL3nevcairiel: ATi's cards still have production issues =P
15:20.18KriLL3they're still rarer than an honest politician
15:20.44ThraeATI cards generally have less production issues than Nvidia since ATI's architecture is simplier, even Fermi not included. Their shaders are very simple, which is why DX11 came so easily to them.
15:20.55SunTsureading someone bashing things is fun - as long as you can make up your own mind and just enjoy the rant
15:21.14KriLL3not when it's clear they're bashing something just for the sake of doing so
15:21.52SunTsuKriLL3: still you can read it for the fun of it
15:21.52ThraeATI believes in cramming as much as they can onto their die and calling it "good", while Nvidia is actually attempting a new architecture with promise for the future and people are bashing Nvidia just because they're taking so long.
15:22.01olafskiwhile we're on the topic of graphics cards.. do druid tanks have a good way to pull a ranged mob?
15:22.16KriLL3olafski: faerie fire
15:22.23Thraeolafski: Faerie Fire or just a simple Taunt
15:22.24KriLL3not good, but it's all we have
15:22.28olafskidoes that grab the mob towards you? :s
15:22.35KriLL3errm
15:22.42KriLL3no tank has that except DKs
15:22.48olafskiI was thinking more like heroic throw, death grip or avenger's shield
15:22.55Thraeolafski: Faerie Fire while in Bear Form does damage and high threat
15:23.06olafskigranted only death grips works on archers, but HT / AS silence so that works
15:23.14KriLL3even in catform it does some threat
15:23.14Gnarfozevery class can do it
15:23.24SunTsuolafski: they could moonfire and switch to bear afterwards - but normally faerie fire is enough
15:23.24Gnarfozit's not about "some", it's about "high threat"
15:23.27KriLL3ferals have no silence
15:23.29mitch0just let the mage pull :P
15:23.42olafskiI'm having massive trouble getting casters towards me when there's no way to LoS them
15:23.45KriLL3SunTsu: that's not really viable if you got rage
15:23.55KriLL3olafski: as someone to silence
15:24.02olafskiyeah guess that's the only thing to do
15:24.05KriLL3though that mage is most likely looking at recount, not the chat
15:24.07ThraeKriLL3: Yeah, but I think it's retooled in Cat to use their threat model, so its more the damage and some threat for putting a debuff on
15:24.31SunTsuKriLL3: yeah, it's a trade off. As I said, FF normally is the way to go
15:24.34ThraeI don't think its the Bear's innate threat buff that's increasing FF's threat THAT much
15:24.36KriLL3Thrae: I'm not talking threat, just that you got aggro
15:24.52ThraeKriLL3: Well you said threat :D But right, aggro is expected
15:25.08olafskimost pugs are annoyingly stupid about such things though
15:25.12KriLL3if the dps:ers start before the mob reaches me I give the dps:ers the honor of tanking
15:25.14Thraeolafski: So you're having Druid Tanking problems, or problems with Druid Tanks?
15:25.24olafskiI'm the tank
15:25.36mitch0there's your problem
15:25.38KriLL3and yes casters are a bitch
15:25.46KriLL3PoS is the worst
15:25.51KriLL3multiple widely spaced casters
15:25.58ThraeOh man I still wipe on PoS in PUGs
15:25.58olafskiI think about 80% of the hunters I've asked to dispel an enrage or magic effect were like "durr I can't dispell, ask a priest"
15:25.59KriLL3you need to run around like crazy and swipe em
15:26.18olafskikrill3: yeah but I also want to try to have the mobs in front of me so I can dodge :/
15:26.22KriLL3dps doesn't dispel/CC, ever.
15:26.27SunTsuKriLL3: I nowadays state "whoever wants aggro keeps it" and actually sat down watching over eager dps "tanking" a group
15:26.29ThraePoS (H) also pops up a LOT for me
15:26.40olafskieven after I tell the hunter "tranq shot can be used to dispel" they go "but I don't have that on my bar" and leave it at that
15:26.41KriLL3they're too busy nuking that mob you hit once looking at their rising e-peen/dps
15:26.56KriLL3Thrae: not gotten the new LK instances once in random, no idea why
15:27.06olafskiI don't mind PoS much.. it's HoR that I really hate, but I found a great way to _never_ get that as random hc ;)
15:27.10SunTsuolafski: then kick him :>
15:27.11ThraeBut really, Druid Tanks are pretty good for PoS (H) because the *real* bitch is Tyrranus one-shotting people
15:27.35ThraeAnd Druid Tanks can better absorb some 30,000+ damage
15:27.49olafskimy druid can't yet ;)
15:27.58KriLL3Thrae: love that fight, you don't have much time to gain aggro before he roids and you have to avoid, dps meter crazy people get raeped =P
15:28.13ThraeWell the T9 bonus helps with a reduction in Barkskin's cooldown
15:28.15olafski34.5k hp unbuffed at the moment
15:28.17KriLL3Thrae: errm, you should lead him around the ice patches, you don't tank him when he roids
15:28.44SunTsuOur healer in PoS yesterday needed 4 tried to realize that standing close to the entrance was a bad idea and that he always got killed because he added mobs
15:28.45olafskiI have 3/5 T9, took the ilvl 245 head/shoulders instead of that bonus
15:28.45KriLL3dps meter crazy hunter that never cared about anything other than his dps got killed by the boss and whined about me not tanking him when he roided...
15:28.47KriLL3we just laughed
15:29.04Thraeolafski: One thing for 3.3.2 -- Barkskin should be up as much as possible. In Boss fights, you should time it better, but for mobs it should mostly be spammed unless you're having damage-receiving issues. The point is, USE Barkskin as much as possible.
15:29.16ThraeKriLL3: I'm talking about RimFang
15:29.29KriLL3ah, well don't stand next to the ones he targets
15:29.33ThraeKriLL3: Also, stupid DPS not backing down with Overbrand on them
15:29.45KriLL3that's not much of an issue for me
15:29.54KriLL3who does that hurt? them? me? someone spesific?
15:29.56olafskithrae: hm. I don't raid though.. usually I save barkskin for special abilities like that power overwhelming stuff
15:30.04olafskibrand hurts you
15:30.08olafskior heals the boss in case of a healer
15:30.15KriLL3olafski: you shouldn't tank him when he roids, avoid
15:30.19olafskiI know
15:30.25ThraeKriLL3: That hurts whoever has aggro on the boss, usually the tank (especially fatal for anyone else)
15:30.27KriLL3the dps doesn't know that though =P
15:30.28olafskidoesn't always work 100% :)
15:30.37KriLL3love especially that the hunter had ages to feign, but never did
15:30.45SunTsu"When you get a skull, damage stop!" - after the wipe: "Hey, you didn't stop!" "I was my rotation so good, just couldn't stop it1"
15:30.48olafskiI try to rotate him so I have my back to an ice patch but that guy is a bitch.. keeps moving about
15:30.54ThraeYeah, I learned how to kite him cross the ice patches. A lot of tanks don't seem to know that even after doing PoS a few times.
15:30.58olafskisuntsu: yeah that happened to me a lot of times too
15:31.04olafski"but I was doing such good dps, didn't want to stop!"

15:31.32KriLL3I've been there like 10 times, first time the day it came out, never been hit by him when he roids
15:31.44KriLL3though I have to admit that the first time it was mostly luck
15:32.04olafskidoes it hit you in the way your back is facing?
15:32.08KriLL3and always at least one dps:er dies from getting aggro during first roid

15:32.27olafskiI run around tyrannus, stand with my back to an ice patch, he walks towards me, walks away again and suddenly faces something I didn't want him to face
15:32.41KriLL3yeah the movement is bugged, just adjust in small increments
15:32.52Thraeolafski: So you're at 34k unbuffed in Bear? Just get as much +Stam as you can with Blue Solids, use Heavy Borean Leather Kit (or better) except for Bracers which can get +40 Stam, and Legs which can get +55 Stamina / +22 Agility. This is damn good pre-raid and even for off-tanking.
15:32.55KriLL3making him run to you is easiest
15:33.03KriLL3walk away from him in a direction to make him face where you want

15:35.26Thraeolafski: Yeah, I'd also go with a Trinket that gives +Stam. Farm Black Heart which is damn good
15:35.32KriLL3yeah
15:35.40KriLL3too bad it's only in normal ToC
15:35.41olafskiI'm not doing HoR :P bah

15:36.49SunTsuI liked the warrior tank who managed to tank all mobs in the big room
15:36.51KriLL3a hunter that misdirects the ranged mobs helps a ton also
15:36.57KriLL3or shoot frost traps
15:37.19KriLL3my brother did both with his hunter, made the encounter a breeze
15:37.19Thraeolafski: Depending on how your threat is doing, you can also go with +Threat +Def on Gloves
15:37.53ThraeI only find threat an issue in PUGs where I get morons 50% of the time
15:37.54olafskiI think it's fine for now
15:38.03olafskiI just taunt mobs back if a dps grabs them
15:38.08olafski6 second cd on that makes it easy enough
15:38.24olafskishould get better when I get some more upgrades anyway
15:38.27KriLL3I hate dps that just keeps going after they overaggro on a mob I'm clearly not focusing on
15:38.31KriLL3switch you idiot
15:38.44olafskiI don't ask questions.. I just soak damage ;)
15:38.59KriLL3I don't ask questions, I just demand obedience

15:39.10KriLL3or I /shadowmeld /laugh
15:39.17ThraeKriLL3: I'm thinking of putting in my main Bear spam macro a /raidtarget indicator for what I'm currently focusing on
15:39.25ThraeExcept I need to figure out how to do that
15:39.31KriLL3Thrae: don't bother, I mark using keybinds, and no one cares
15:39.34SunTsuI'd like to have that harpoon on my hunter, but lfd tool won't let me run HoR until I upgraded some items - for instance my weapon
15:39.42ThraeBetter than nothing
15:39.48KriLL3SunTsu: it's the average item level
15:40.06Repo10atlasloot-enhanced: 03Hegarol * r2584 / (5 files in 5 directories): More PvP revamp
15:40.11Thraeolafski: Also, no 'chant on your Staff of Trickery? You probably won't get a better upgrade until raiding time
15:40.22KriLL3harpoon is easy to get
15:40.31Thraeolafski: Lifeward is good performance for the price
15:40.40KriLL3or the staff from ToC vendors, though that as said requires champion
15:40.41olafskiI won't raid.. so that would mean I wouldn't get an upgrade at all ;)
15:40.58SunTsuKriLL3: I had the impression that they don't let you into it with 200 blues
15:40.59KriLL3also marrowstrike is an option
15:41.07KriLL3SunTsu: it's just the average
15:41.20KriLL3if you got some really high iLVL items and some really low you can get in just fine
15:41.34ThraeKriLL3: Yeah, but still, there's a big gap for Staff of Trickery (which I got almost immediatly after 80) and your next best tanking weapon
15:41.37olafskihm seems lifeward is a bit better than it used to be
15:41.37KriLL3though the issue ofc with marrowstrike is that it's like 10% drop chance from one of 2 bosses
15:41.47KriLL3so 5%
15:41.48olafskiI kinda want marrowstrike though yeah
15:41.52olafskilooks good :P
15:41.57SunTsuKriLL3: so how high is it? my mage was on 220+ and still needed to replace the last blue item
15:41.58KriLL3I did ToC HC 38 times to get mine
15:42.04KriLL3SunTsu: not really sure
15:42.19KriLL3only saw it once before that, and guess who got it?
15:42.23KriLL3a paladin
15:42.25olafski:)
15:42.28KriLL3in leveling blues
15:42.29olafskiI saw it once too so far
15:42.32olafskithough I've done it about 3 times
15:42.34KriLL3"lol first time hear!"
15:42.54SunTsugiven that HoR drops ilvl232 items it's dumb to let you enter only when really close to 232
15:42.55KriLL3that was the 32:th time I was there for that one item
15:43.01KriLL3btw, it's not even that good for paladins
15:43.07Thraeolafski: BTW, Improved Mangle is for Cat DPS, Shredding Attacks is better for Bears. You've probably already found Beserk isn't used that much on Bears in PvE.
15:43.21olafskioh I use berserk on every boss ;)
15:43.27KriLL3actually zerk is nice for packs
15:43.32ThraeBosses, yes
15:43.37SunTsuI see Marrowstrike drop nearly every time I'm in ToC - except when I'm there with my hunter
15:43.47KriLL3SunTsu: yeah that's how it works
15:43.56ThraeKriLL3: That too, but I'm talking about the overall Mangle cooldown reduction isn't worth it over the Rage reduction on Lacerate
15:44.11olafskishredding attacks doesn't seem too useful
15:44.13KriLL3blizzard got an algorithm finding the gear none of you need/want and gives you that
15:44.17ThraeIt's important to keep that Lacerate up at 5/5 all the time, even if you have Rage issues
15:44.18olafskiit's not often that I don't have the rage to do lacerate :/
15:44.27KriLL3Thrae: I got both
15:44.50ThraeKriLL3: What'd you give up? Naturalist?
15:44.52SunTsumy only healer has the dps neck from soulforge while both my dps casters have the healing necks from it

15:45.10*** join/#wowace Ghli_ (~Ghli_@32.157.222.68)
15:45.17KriLL3and yes lacerate is important on bosses, less so on packs
15:45.20ThraeWait, you can't give up Naturalist, you need 10 points to get to OoC
15:45.23KriLL3though at least one is good, boosts maul dmg
15:45.41olafskiyep makes maul do nice damage
15:45.44olafskithat's what I use it for mostly
15:45.53olafskithough on single targets I spam maul/lacerate
15:46.37KriLL3I got a macro that spams maul & swipe, and a button that only mauls for single encounters
15:46.42Thraeolafski: I also like at least 1 in Infected Wounds. It may seem like a PvP thing, but the reduced attack speed can help vs bosses that enrage, and the reduced movement speed can help give you more time when you lose aggro.
15:46.54KriLL3yeah I got full infected
15:47.35KriLL3Thrae: I got full naturalist
15:47.39ThraeKriLL3: You have full Infected Wounds, Shredding Attacks, AND Improved Mangle? You must have given up something in the normal cookie-cutter spec, like Thick Hide.
15:47.55olafskithrae: yeah I considered infected wounds
15:48.02KriLL3I don't have shredding, and king of the jungle
15:48.25KriLL32 less rage on lacerate isn't worth 2 points
15:48.32ThraeAhhh, KoJ
15:48.48KriLL3and I don't have natural shapeshifter and the one above that
15:48.53KriLL3master shapeshifter
15:49.08ThraeYeah Master Shapeshifter is more for DPS and Healing
15:49.25ThraeIt *used* to be better than Naturalist when Naturalist was +5% Physical Damage
15:49.30KriLL3yeah
15:49.38KriLL3also I don't have feral aggression
15:49.50nevcairielwasnt naturalist always 10%?
15:49.54KriLL3other than that I got everything non cat
15:49.57ThraeWho the hell has Feral Aggression?
15:50.02KriLL3no idea
15:50.10ThraeNot even Cats have Feral Aggression
15:50.19KriLL3heh true
15:50.34ThraeFerocious Bite still sucks even with Feral Aggression
15:50.35olafskidemo roar is nice though
15:50.46olafskiI'd say some more AP reduction would benefit there
15:50.52KriLL3I guess 58/13 is fairly cookie cutter
15:50.54ThraeEh, in ICC I see myself taking more magic damage than physical damage
15:50.55olafskithough I forgot how much it helps on bosses
15:51.09Thrae58/13 for Cat DPS?

15:52.38KriLL3feral feels so damn bloated atm, so many things needing so many points
15:52.38ThraeWell, you can always Enrage and wait for GCD
15:52.47KriLL3Thrae: not if enrage is on cooldown
15:53.01KriLL3hope cata streamlines feral, too many must have talents atm
15:53.10ThraeTrue, but honestly I don't have rage issues outside of PvP, and I don't use my Tank spec in PvP
15:53.11KriLL3feels like you don't have much choice
15:53.30KriLL3I got horrible rage issues in some instances, like VH
15:53.42ThraeKriLL3: Yeah Feral has a LOT of "Passive" talents and Cata says they're getting rid of ALL of them (or 90% of them)
15:54.10KriLL3I guess the thing that gives stuff if you spend a certain amount of points in a tree will replace that stuff
15:54.14ThraeWeird, VH is now one of my easiest instances
15:54.17KriLL3affinity or something
15:54.24KriLL3yes it's easy, but I got 0 rage most of it
15:54.31olafskihow do you have such rage issues? you take less damage but you crit more, shouldn't that more or less balance it?
15:54.35ThraeWell, Cata wants to place more emphasis on so-called "Fun" talents, which are more like "Strategy" talents
15:55.17KriLL3olafski: issue is that you spend a lot of time not hitting/being hit between portals
15:55.32KriLL3and especially if some dps starts cc:ing
15:55.36KriLL3then it's just you spending rage
15:55.52ThraeKriLL3: Well if you took 2 out of Furor and put them into KoJ, you could PowerShift much more easily without worrying about mana until you get the 10 rage, in addition to the 15% damage boost about 15% of the time.
15:56.00olafskihm.. haven't noticed that yet but then again I'm not overgeared _that_ much yet
15:56.04arkanes_bears and warriors should gain rage based on how hard  you're hitting your keys
15:56.21olafski:D
15:56.25olafskior how often
15:56.27Thraearkanes_: Haha, well my /castsequence has Enrage in it, so I hit it pretty hard

16:04.35KriLL3all of my IRL friends decided to move their old alliance chars we played before we turned horde to a new server
16:04.39nevcairielI don't get why people are against either faction
16:04.43nevcairielpeople are idiots everywhere
16:04.47KriLL3yeah they're not that different
16:04.54Thraenevcairiel: It depends on the server really
16:05.07KriLL3might feel different but from all my experience neither side is better
16:05.07nevcairieli guess
16:05.20ThraeAll servers definitely have a different idiot ratio, *especially* if you PvP
16:05.21KriLL3and I've played on the same server on both sides
16:05.41SunTsuI really think about turning all my alliance chars to horde, but it's too expensive...
16:05.55arkanes_I found out yesterday that 70s and 80s can queue together for randoms
16:06.09ThraeOf course the average PVPIQ is like 40, as people are normally meant to be lead around like sheep, except sometimes they're stubborn.
16:06.38arkanes_so I spent some hours dragging some guildies and a pug or 2 through random speed runs

16:19.46Thraearkanes_: In Heroics even with my crappy iLevel 200 gear I still see my HoTs taking care of 80% of the damage with an occasional Nourish, Swiftmend (glyphed), and HT+Nature's Swiftness or Nourish+Nature's Swiftness
16:20.11arkanes_sure
16:20.17arkanes_thats why I get revitalize and not natures grace
16:20.24ThraeThere *are* some fights where I need to spam Nourish along with my HoTs
16:20.51jnwhitehI use NG for Wild Growth
16:20.52arkanes_drastically ungeared tanks still justify some nourish spam but the uptime and the benefit from NG is so small
16:20.56jnwhitehor free mana gain from lifebloom
16:21.10arkanes_jnwhiteh: are we talking about the same thing?
16:21.17jnwhitehnope
16:21.19jnwhitehwe're not
16:21.21jnwhitehsorry =)
16:21.34arkanes_to be honest revitalize is pretty small too
16:22.25*** join/#wowace digmouse_ (~chatzilla@221.219.107.144)
16:22.41jnwhitehi've been thinking about getting revitalize
16:22.48arkanes_celestial focus is nice, although I'd need to give up a fair chunk of mana efficiency for it
16:22.50Thraearkanes_: Well, if you already have Nature's Bounty, you got a good boost to crit right there. I wouldn't rely on Revitalize outside PvP except on specific raids where spamming has been an issue in the past.
16:22.55winkanyone ever seen this psychedelic BG on Malygos? http://imgur.com/xy26w.jpg
16:23.21arkanes_Thrae: its not really about relying on it, but the general increase in your raids resources translates to better dps/threat
16:23.30arkanes_s/raid/group
16:23.54AeyanRevitalize is nice when I'm on my DK
16:24.07Thraearkanes_: It depends, I've found a lot of classes already have pretty specific rotations that conform to their normal mana/energy usage and getting MORE kinda messes them up
16:24.18AeyanEvery other rotation I don't have enough RP for two DCs, normally
16:24.22AeyanSo I filler it with a horn
16:24.26AeyanWith revitalize I can =)
16:24.32Thraes/usage/storage/
16:24.41arkanes_I don't think thats true
16:24.53arkanes_possibly RP dumping DKs, but the worst case is that they waste some capping out
16:25.13ThraeI could see Revit. for DKs, that's true
16:25.16arkanes_rogues are energy-limited, worst case is you get a wasted proc while they're pooling
16:25.42AeyanCapping used to be a big deal for some specs. They'd say stop your rotation to throw DC since it was your hardest hitting ability
16:25.49AeyanNot the case anymore, so more RP is always a good thing
16:26.01AeyanAnyway, this is just a long winded way of saying I like revitalize, hehe.
16:26.02arkanes_Aeyan: that was because DC hit so hard it was worth throwing off your rune CDs for
16:26.09ThraeYou know what I'm not impressed with right now? Living Spirit
16:26.19AeyanYeah, I know
16:26.21AeyanI was unholy too
16:26.24AeyanSo doubly important
16:26.25arkanes_so even though it messed up your rotation, it was still a DPS increase
16:26.26AeyanBack then
16:26.34arkanes_(thats why you did it, of course)

16:28.01nevcairieleh, druids usually don't touch mp5
16:28.03arkanes_Thrae: the tradeoff is the extra spellpower you get
16:28.11nevcairielspirit all the way
16:28.21ThraeOh, I missed a change again
16:28.28ThraeWhen did Spirit provide Spellpower?

16:28.58Thrae3.0? Eh, I was still Feral-only in 3.0
16:28.58[Ammo]quicker hots = pewpew
16:29.06nevcairielhaste is really awesome for druids, especially now
16:29.27nevcairielbut spirit scales with talents and gives you spellpower extra, its superior to mp5
16:29.38ThraeWhat's the Spirit-to-SP ratio?
16:29.44arkanes_30%
16:29.52ThraeOK, good to know
16:29.59arkanes_no, 15%
16:30.03arkanes_improved tree of life
16:30.28ThraeWait...what? Improved Tree of Life doesn't do anything to Spirit anymore, I know that now
16:30.45ThraeOh wait it does...nevermind
16:30.47arkanes_it gives you 15% of your spirit as spellpower
16:30.53ThraeDidn't see the "of spirit"
16:31.02arkanes_well, healpower
16:31.03ThraeI thought they changed it to a base increase, silly me
16:31.05arkanes_not that it matters

18:25.19NivFreakNeglected: addons can't store data online ;P
18:25.51NeglectedNiv: I know, that's how I instantly figured out it was a troll post. Using AddOn channels might help but then it would become like GS. Options <3
18:26.01NivFreak...
18:26.07NeglectedArkanes: I understand that; I mean, I was going to create a comglomorate of such ideas. And, it's mainly just something to practice Lua.
18:26.25NivFreakas soon as you do that, watch Shadowed break your local stored data
18:26.41NivFreakyou can't trust data people provide themselves
18:27.02NivFreakwe'll just tweak the savedvars
18:27.03NeglectedHmm.. maybe I'll have to rule out the rating option, then.
18:27.05mitchnullisn't there a fake GS already?
18:27.43arkanes_theres addons that corrupt your GS database
18:27.57arkanes_theres no way to fake a GS someone gets by inspecting you directly, of course
