WoW Reinstalled!

   Posted by: Skeleton Jack   in /rl, Coming Soon

Heya guys!!  So yeah, got WoW reinstalled last evening and I have to say it was far easier than previous efforts over the past years.  Whether it was a fresh install on a friends comp, or just a reinstall on mine.  Blizzard apparently got their !@#$ together and streamlined the patching system.

After I installed WoW + XPac’s I started up the patcher.  Normally you’d patch the game a bazillion times.  It’d patch once, you’d start up the game and try to log in, and then it’d kick you out to start up another patch.  No longer!!  Now you start it up to patch, and it just patches itself without any interaction all the way up to being ready.  Damn it was nice.

And luckily I saved my WTF, Interface, and Screenshots folders this time around (unlike before) so that I didn’t have to reset the settings or deal with redefining all of my mods.  :D

I took a sec to read up on EJ Forums, MMO Champion, World of Raids, and a few other sites I peruse…  Gotta say I’m not liking the current “ideal” 3.2 Unholy spec and rotation.  No OB spec, gone…  No Reaping and multiple SS’s, gone…  Bleh.  I’m not doing it I tell you.  It’s gonna be a slight nerf to my dps, but I will not be using that rotation/playstyle.  I’ll give you guys the digs later on with what I settled down with.

Also I’ll be doing my damndest to get my hands on some slow 1H weapons.  I really really like the DW spec a lot.  Tried it again last night (with admittedly far too fast weapons) and it still was just fun as can be.

Not sure how swift I’ll be back into raiding again.  I’ve lost some credit with my guild since I was a new member before I quit WoW (being there for only 1 month, having previously quit SK where I had been for nearly 3 years).  So we’ll see how long it takes me to earn my way back into their good graces.

Using a 15/0/56 DW spec and topping charts everywhere. Having a blast! It requires a slow MH, but offhand can be any speed. Looks like the old unholy 2h 17/0/54 spec may be tops in the imminent 3.3 patch… SS is back.

@pwnisher i want your secret or your drugs cause I looked up your spec (your on my realm fiy) and i could not get it to remotely work. granted it was a target dummy but i couldn’t get over 2k and I cant see raid buffs/debuffs/boss special effects getting it up by 1.9k to my current pvp/pve hybrid that dose 3k

The 17/0/54 is outstanding in fights like Trial of the Grand Crusader, where AoE is key. Our DKs is at the top of the charts with over 10k dps on Anub etc.
And tho I’m not a big fan of Dummies, with my gear and prio system I get around 4.8k dps unbuffed and without cooldowns. So it’s very viable at single target aswell.

Would love to see if you can make anything out of the DW again SJ, miss it alot ^^ Glad to have you back.

Yo SJ, glad your back to wow mate.

17/0/54 is the 2h unholy build, 15/0/56 is the DW unholy build (correct me if I’m wrong here) the 2h build will top dps on AoE fights, the DW build wont do as good as the 2h build on AoE fights (or any other fights for that matter) from what iv read but should still perform decently enough. Although on single target DW unholy is the lowest dps spec I can think off for a DK.
