World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

Mordrak:

Is there a way to configure tellmewhen to put the icon up one or two ticks before the buff disappears? Is there another mod you would suggest?

Even if you aren’t a Warlock, one of the best multi-class mods I’ve found is ForteXorcist: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/fortexorcist.aspx

There is a Spell Timer section of that mod that does exactly what you are looking for.

I also highly recommend the cooldown tracker portion of this mod for every class.

Enjoy!

On my Shadow Priest, I used a timer tracking mod that I’m pretty sure isn’t supported any more, and it was perfect. Big ugly buttons in the middle of the screen for every DoT, and they turned red when it’s time to push the button again. It almost made avoiding clipping your DoTs too easy.

Also, random DoT question, I’m leveling a Warlock now and I’m forced to wonder how the tricks that they’ve done to make clipping a little bit less of an issue interacts with Bane of Agony. That’s the DoT that I’m led to understand you never never never never never never never never never clip because it’s so backloaded - is that still a thing? I obviously don’t understand how it works, since when I read the description on the tooltip I figured that it’s a DoT you were SUPPOSED to clip to keep it from slipping off the target and continue snowballing, and that apparently is not how it works.

Still the same for Bane of Agony. It resets the spell so you want to avoid clipping it unless you have to.

Afaik the way bane of agony works is that it has 12 ticks every 2 seconds per cast. The first 4 ticks do 75% damage the next 4 does 100% damage and the last 4 do 125% damage. So by refreshing early you are going to reset the spell so the low damage tics will replace the high damage ones.
For dot tracking if you have xperl unit frames you can turn on big debuffs and you will get giant debuff icons on enemy frames which count down time remaining

JM:

I think he’s saying that because a number of people haven’t unlocked TotT or Blackrock, it means the ones that are automatically unlocked for everyone - i.e. SFK/Deadmines - are more likely to pop up.

Which makes sense.

Yes, this is what I mean. The most common heroic dungeons I get are SFK and Deadmines because you don’t have to do anything to gain access to those.

The next most common has been Lost City of Tol’vir, which is kind of odd considering how few people I know of that bothered with Uldum. Maybe it’s just a statistical anomaly.

Oops double post

Given that pretty much everyone I know thought Uldum was the best zone, yes! :)

You, sir, have weird friends.

I thought the Harrison Jones quests were great, but running around in a monotone desert got old really fast.

AaronSofaer · 2011-01-14T09:29:53.000Z

I get Throne most often, by far.

When I queue in the mornings before work, I get Throne 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time it’s HoO. Maybe it has to do with what people have discovered?

That’s what this conversation’s been about…

What’s wrong with Uldum? It has a couple of excellent storylines, some good humour, and some memorable characters. I know people whine about the cutscenes but they’re hardly a chore are they?

Athryn · 2011-01-14T10:37:21.000Z

He hates the cutscenes. :p

JM1 · 2011-01-14T10:56:34.000Z

They’re skippable aren’t they?

Charlatan · 2011-01-14T11:06:36.000Z

JM:

Not all are (or so I’ve been told by people trapped in them). And Uldum has a lot of not horribly exciting cutscenes where dudes talk to each other.

You can put me in the “loved uldum” crowd too even if a couple of Q’s bugged out for me.

Uldum was one of my favorite zones too, but after I saved the good Tol’Vir from the bad Tol’Vir, I felt the zone was done. Except the quest lines meandered on for another 50 quests or so. Blech. They really should have stopped after the climactic Tol’vir battle.

idrisz · 2011-01-14T13:15:35.000Z

uldum is the best!!!

nowhere in the wow where you get to work for Hitler, Heil Furrier!!!

P.S.

the “NINE NINE NINE NINE” was extremely funny.

Nice, thank you very much. I will mess with it tonight.
