Which would you pick? =p

Not that I don't believe you, but where did you get that statistic? I'd be curious to see it if you have a link.

...It would explain a lot if it were true.

For supposedly being older on average, we sure play battlegrounds like retards. =/ (At least on our battlegroup).

So, uh, anything going to happen with the guild, aside from crumble? All the randoms who were active have left, and the few GFF players that had time during the holidays don't so much any more. Not that I expected anything more than some casual play on weekends, but is even that too hard for most people?

Anyways, I'd still be willing to recruit if someone would give my 70 permission.

Hmm, I'm tempted to roll on this server if you guys are still semi-active. Can't really guarantee that I'd play a whole lot though, seeing as I have my 70 main on another server with RL friends. Any certain classes that you folks need?

Already dead, don't bother.

Well I rolled a BE paladin on Dark Iron just for the hell of it anyways and to get away from the over populated stupid populous of my main's server. I'm having quite a bit of fun leveling the wee little thing, so I think I'll continue on with it.

Name's Cherrygarcia; if anyone from Aperature Science spots me please send invite. <3

That's lame, it sounded like people were pretty excited about doing this too =/.

Yeah, I had hoped interest in this would last at least a few months, but by the time I joined in mid-December it was already almost gone. We could still make something of this if those who still play all went and joined another guild - I know Ronz is looking for one.

Personally I've gotten sick of grinding a broken pvp system for purples that will be invalidated by the first greens in Wrath of the Lich King, so I ended up cancelling my subscription. I have no reason to leave Dark Iron and I'll end up playing again someday, but maybe not until WotLK comes out.

I am totally there with you and the broken pvp system. Being crowd controlled continually by a druid on my warrior while doing arenas this week (cyclonex3, rootx1, repeat) and not being able to do anything about it almsot put me over the edge this morning.

Well, I'm still interested if you guys are. I don't mind rolling a toon on here if theres more than you and I that would be playing, Starman. Any other people still around/still interested?

LOL Sam! You could come play with me on Laughing Skull. Alliance side, though. I've got a nice large guild with fun people, and Masanda and nwzinc are also on the server (though not in my guild).

Heh, sounds good. What's your char's name? And wasn't Laughing Skull the original GFF WoW server?

Correct. You get bonus points if you remember the original guild's name (or maybe it's still floating around in one of the other threads around here )

Yah it's the original GFF Server, that's why Masanda and Zinc are still around. And I think even Belgara is still there somewhere.

Name is Guru, but I've been playing my druid Lumine lately. Gotta mix it up!

Xelium Highguard or something like that? :P I was a member on my first character rolled, Alania. But I got sucked in playing on Thunderhorn that I neglected her and ended up getting removed.

I'm trying to do a DPS spec for my warrior for PVE/PVP type stuff. I'm afraid to go to the warrior forums, because I know that they'll show no mercy when it comes to people not speccing how THEY spec. (or lol DPS warrior) I went this way, and I know it's a huge mess. :|

Any suggestions would be helpful. ;_; (and yes I know there's a general WoW thread, I just figured I'd ask in here since this one seems to be posted in more.)

Yep that's it! Heh, feels like such a long time ago. You win the bonus round!

I'll probably make a huntard or something super easy to level with, because I'm leveling a pally on my main's server and its quite mind-numbing. I'll be sure to hit you up when I see you online, Guru =)

And dagget, are you planning on PvPing or PvEing with your warrior more? If you plan to do both, then you'll need a 2h mortal strike spec, which can do decent damage (with a decent weapon). My warrior currently is using this build and does just fine in both environments. Otherwise, dual wield fury is the way to go, something along the lines of this would work.

Well I used to be Arms/Fury when I started the game, then I went tank for just about 2 years. I'm actually not doing too bad with what I have now, I'm getting praised for my BG tactics. Hell I was tanking Van with nothing in Protection the last AV I did and people were shocked how well I could hold aggro on him and not being Prot.

Shame horde usually play like retards now in AV. :| Getting yelled at for stopping and trying to take SH really blows.

dagget,

Wasn't Arms/Fury the ONLY way to tank in a 5-15man back in the day? I remember we had one prot warrior as dead weight in UBRS simply because we couldn't fill up the group. I forget what the mechanic was, but I seem to remember that I'd pull aggro off of a prot warrior pretty easily being a mage, but the arms/fury warrior can keep spanking shit forever so long as he had heals. The only thing good about the prot warrior was that the healer didn't have to strain so much to keep 'em alive because he wouldn't take much hits.

Correct me if I remember wrong.

For PVE, you want dual wield fury, with around 90-ish hit rating and this spec:

The reason there's only one point in Improved Whirlwind is that it lets you set up a nice attack rotation where Bloodthirst and Whirlwind are always able to be used the moment they're off their cooldowns (in an ideal situation), and putting 2/2 or 0/2 messes that up.

For PVP, it's definitely MS or bust.

The thing is, though, that there are a lot of different PVP specs. There's 33/28/0, 33/25/0, 41/20/0 (at least in the next patch), 31/X/21, etc., etc.

All of 'em have one thing in common, though. You NEED Mortal Strike, you NEED a good 2-hander, preferably a mace, and you NEED Second Wind. Blood Frenzy is actually more of a PVE talent. Get a warrior with 33/28/0 Blood Frenzy in a melee group with an enhancement shaman dropping Windfury, and it can be a beautiful thing.

Srsly though, try something new out. There's a shaman who's running 29/32/0 as a hybrid Elemental/Enhancement offhanding the Maelstrom's Fury (the only one-hand caster weapon in the game at the moment, unfortunately fixed in 2.4 and replaced with a blue mace with less +damage from revered rep) and stacking melee buffs, and she can hit around 2,500 +damage and 8.5K CL crits (granted, in the clip she showed that, she was running with 'serking in a BG and crit a pet, but she ALSO had almost no buffs up).

And it's all thanks to Mental Quickness giving 30% of your AP as +damage. She is a burst MACHINE. 2K burst in melee (from DAGGERS), and that burst also gives a 20% nature debuff. It's insane.
