01:40.55Aridenigosh
01:41.05ArideniYou can create H and A on PVP realms now?!
01:41.35DomhSince cata or sometime in wrath, yes
01:41.45Arideni...how can one exploit the AH in this manner? lmao
01:42.02DomhNot easily since the neutral ah takes a 15% cut
01:42.24Domhthere's some niches though
01:42.26ArideniAh, I see, but for items you could shop on the opposing AH and use that to transfer them?
01:42.47DomhYou'd need a second account
01:42.49ArideniIllidan is hard to find items on the AH as there's only 12k alliance
01:42.55Domhyou're unable to buy auctions one of your alts has posted
01:42.59Aridenithat's right, gah
01:43.19ArideniOr a friend's account?
01:44.01Aridenihrm yes, yes I could get my friend to help lol
01:52.28Amarandenow one thing that *does* occur to me is
01:52.57Amarandea good way to get a quick buck when rolling on a brand new realm, would be to buy or obtain a minipet that's really expensive on that realm but affordable on the realm that you've been playing on
01:52.59Ac-townJunkHead: I mained resto in wrath and have done a bit during this xpac
01:53.08Amarandelearn it, then cage it on the new realm & sell it
01:53.51Amarandehmm. things are usually cheaper on the ultra pop realms, right? wonder if you could do things like get a 90 on somewhere like illidan or tich, buy hyacinth macaws or such to then resell on your lower pop realm for bigger cash :)
01:53.56Amarandeor would that lead to a ban for "exploiting the economy" heh
01:54.36JunkHeadkilled sha. got ele legs.
01:54.39JunkHeadhappy day
01:54.52Amarandeis there really that much difference between resto and ele shaman gear? :S
01:54.57JunkHeadnope
01:55.00*** join/#wowhead Nally (~Sangkeun@69-196-169-227.dsl.teksavvy.com)
01:55.11Amarandeyeah, that would be shooting themselves in the foot if there was, now that hunters don't use mana :)
01:55.11JunkHeadim gonan use these for resto
01:55.28Amarandeactually, sometimes it's occurred to me that they could do an even further level of gear streamlining now
01:55.36Amarandeone that a lot of players would probably find really useful, too
01:56.11Amarandenamely: there seems to be very little difference between Str and Agi anymore, except that some classes use one and others use the other, but in either case, the primary stat seems basically the same in nature
01:56.27Amarandewhy not just stop having them as two separate stats and merge them into one unified "physical power" stat?
02:05.12ArideniAmarande: That's a good little idea.
02:06.56AmarandeYeah, then we can stop complaining about how so much of, say, the BoA stuff from Pandaria is Agi based 2H stuff :)
02:07.23Amarandethe only thing that occurs to me is it might severely hurt ferals/monks by comparison to str classes, oddly enough
02:07.27ArideniAmarande: I mean about the caging pets. STR is attack power, but nothing else. AGI is critical strike and avoidance, but Rogues and Hunters do benefit more than others in that they also gain AP from AGI.
02:08.00Amarandeyeah, merging str and agi would indeed hurt agi classes
02:08.07Amarandealso, str classes don't get avoidance from agi anymore, afaik
02:08.15Arideni:o
02:08.33ArideniSo that +200 agi trinket I got in a dungeon last night...isn't needed for Prot hahahaha
02:08.34Amarandehowever, despite the limited usefulness of Agility, the reason it would still hurt ferals' and monks' balance is this
02:08.53Arideni...do I at least still gain armor from agi? lmao
02:09.04AmarandeThings like the Spear of Xuen are actually considered practically best-in-breed for STRENGTH classes too until they can get a heroic dungeon or better weapon that's Str based
02:09.05ArideniI feel bad now..I beat out a shammy and a druid for it ^_^
02:09.21Amarandedespite the fact that things like that spear are agi based, the base DPS increase makes it worth it
02:09.45Amarandenow if they could get the full benefit of the stat as well, ceteris paribus, I imagine warriors, DKs, and paladins would probably blow monks and ferals out of the water :|
02:10.52Aridenilol
02:11.10Amarandeit's one of those little known heresies about weapons, so many people focus entirely on "does it have the right class stat str/agi wise?" when oftentimes an increase in base DPS will more than offset having the wrong stat
02:11.23Amarandeit's one of those things I should actually have known quite well, actually :|
02:11.29Amarandebeing that I mained a Frost DK during late Wrath
02:11.56Amarandeand that's about all frost DKs USED was wrong-statted weapons (since there were no level 80 str 1-handers for DPS, period, you had to use agi)
02:12.33AmarandeAnd yet despite that, DW was by far the superior option for frost DK, even though 2H actually allowed you the option of a strength based weapon
02:14.26Amarande"[Agility] increases chance to dodge attacks. This is dependent on both class and level, in fact death knights, paladins and warrios [sic] don't." -- Wowpedia
02:14.34AmarandeYeah, looks like all you get from agi as a plate tank anymore is crit
02:15.44Domhdoesn't it still give them 1 attack power per agi?
02:16.21Domh(as opposed to 2.5 per str)
02:16.56AmarandeI'm not sure if that actually applies to melee for plate classes, or only to ranged
02:17.16DomhRanged would be the other way around, wouldn't it?
02:17.35AmarandeRanged comes solely from Agi, to my knowledge.
02:19.32AmarandeDrat. The faction based epic trinkets are a bad idea for an engineer. I'm probably going to have to save up and fork over the 10k for a darkmoon card trinket. :(
02:19.58Domhyou are correct, ranged is agi only
02:21.02AmarandeWhy did I take engineering on my main again, exactly? :S
02:21.15AmarandeIt's fun, but sometimes you run into snags like that.
02:22.34AmarandeThe trouble is that Synapse Springs apparently shares a CD with on-use trinkets, which means you need proc trinkets
02:23.03Amarandelooks like the faction based valor trinkets are all on-use, though, so I'd need to get a darkmoon card at a five-digit price, or hope for something from raids
02:23.13Amarande(not sure what the trinkets available from raiding are, tbh)

02:38.20JunkHead-@JunkHead1979 We don't like passing in LFR. The entire point of the new system is to remove the social element of loot among strangers.
02:38.31JunkHead-Greg Street ‏@Ghostcrawler
02:38.31JunkHead-@JunkHead1979 Letting players choose to e.g. raid as Ret but choose Holy gear is something we plan on doing (though unlikely to make 5.2).
02:39.09Amarandehm.
02:39.23Amarande"Mannoroth's Fury increases the area of your AoE spells by 500%. The wording of the tooltip is rather poor. What this talent really does is increase the radius of your AoE spells by roughly 125% (so the radius is multiplied by 2.25), which causes the area affected by your AoE spells to become 5 times bigger."
02:39.30JunkHead-after we talked about it today, i figured it couldnt hurt to ask
02:39.31Amarandethere seems something wrong with the math there, but I'm not quite sure
02:39.50fewynthanks JunkHead-
02:39.56Amarandehm, does multiplying a circle's radius by 2.25 make it 5x bigger?
02:39.56JunkHead-np
02:40.12Amarandeoh, wait, actually it does
02:40.18AmarandeI was multiplying by pi twice there :|
02:41.29JunkHead-dammit. i was in lfr queue, but logged out to redo my router. now im in queue to get on the server.:(
02:46.11AmarandeJunk: this is why I refuse to play on ultra-high pop servers :S
02:46.45AmarandeI've pretty much always played on medium pop servers, actually. It's only been recently that Ysera became high pop
02:47.03AmarandeTuralyon was high pop for a short time too, but that was mostly around MoP launch
02:47.21AmarandeI don't know why anyone would play on a server where you spend half your gaming time for the evening waiting to log on. :p
02:47.38AmarandeWorld of Queuecraft doesn't seem like it'd be a very good seller. :)
02:47.48fewynthe way i used to do it was remote desktop in before i left work
02:47.51fewynand sign in
02:47.56Amarandeof course, then again, Disney World is insanely popular
02:48.06fewynby the time i got home i'd be in or close to the end of the queue
02:48.08Amarandedespite the fact that you're overwhelmingly likely to spend most of a day there in line heh
02:48.23fewynpfft when you goto disney you do fastpasses
02:48.32Amarandeand the main track events at Dragon Con
02:48.34fewynyou go around to rides and pick up a ticket to go at X time
02:48.49Amarandewhich I mostly avoid like plague because again, you spend longer than the event standing in line for it
02:48.49fewynand then go watch a show or do somehting else in the mean time
02:48.52fewynthen get to skip the line
02:49.47JunkHead-damn

03:18.55Amarandeshe's level 50 and my 42 rogue seems to be doing more damage
03:19.11Amarandenot that it feels like I'm killing things slowly, but recount just suggests I'm not doing as much damage
03:19.32Amarandeor am I worrying too much about the meter :)
