SJ /AFK Returns to Comment Bombardment!!! /DODGE!!!

   Posted by: Skeleton Jack    in Coming Soon, Specs

o.O

Phew!!  Heya guys!!  Sorry, had to peek first.  Didnt’ wanna get nailed by another comment from ya’ll!!  :P   Heh.  So I come back and BAM!!!  Comments everywhere!!  Lots of people wondering about this new post and all of the specs.  I have not even opened my E-mail yet.  /shudder  I’m sure that’s gonna be full as hell…

/sigh

Actually…now I have to know.  Wait one second…

Back!!  Yup.  26 E-mails, 19 unapproved comments, and then another 12 more pre-approved comments.  LOL, you guys wonder sometimes why I mass answer E-mails in Blog posts…that’s why!!!  :P

Who wants a random laugh?  I do, I do!!

Right, I feel much better about myself now.  Heh. 

So time to get to business?  Sure!!  Sounds good.

Basically when I started doing write ups for the new “best specs” of 3.0.8 I realized that it was impossible to know the ONE best spec per each major category.  Too much changed, and quite honestly a lot of new spec discoveries are being made.  Such as a disease-less spec and an Unholy Presence Spec as well.  So it was time to stop and rethink things

As things currently stand, my personal opinion is that the vast majority of players would be fine with any spec that yields over 5k potential dps.  While some may like the weird side specs that do less, they are not in the majority nor is that something I even wish to spend time researching.  So our focus shifts.

I’ll be going back through each spec and breaking them down for you guys.  We’re going to talk about the talent choices, appropriate Rotations, Glyphs, Sigils, and more.  I’m going to expain to you why these specs work, and also potential variants that you may find useful.  In the end its up to you whether you decide to use what I provide.  I can only attempt to make it palatable and easier to understand.  ;)

My next priority is to do my next BISI post, and then immediately go back to the 0/33/38 spec, which still appears to be the number one DPS spec for DK’s in 3.0.8 patch.  After that, I’m going to either dive into the Unholy Presence spec or the disease-less spec.  Simply because they are the most “out there” specs available atm, making them a bit more interesting if you ask me.

For those wondering, the kitten’s name has been decided btw.  I named her “Shadow”.  I thought it too cliche at the time until I realized I couldn’t think of anyone I knew who ever named their pet that.  She’s a long hair kitten with a dusky grey coat.  She’s got a slight bit of whitish grey on her nose and then some white on her chest, and she is adorable.  *HUGE GRIN*  The name is a three fold one.

  1. She follows me like she is my shadow.  We’ve bonded!!  Though she gets irritated if I roll over in my sleep…but we won’t talk about that incident…  >.<
  2. She’s the color of a shadow.  One time while wearing a charcoal colored T, I was carrying her in my arms and until she meowed at my roomie he didn’t even notice she was in my arms she blended in that well.
  3. She’s a FRICKING NINJA!!!  OMFG!!!  When she cuts loose she’s crazy.  Leaping insane distances, running faster that you could imagine, and vanishing in a heart beat.  It’s awesome.  One of my buddies came over on Sunday like usual before our game, and after about the 5th time she lost him he was like, “Holy crap, she got behind me again.  And I was just looking at her!!”  Hehe!!

I <3 my lil girl!!  Pictures forthcoming.
