Lorb told me you wanted some

pulga — Sun, 07/27/2008 - 13:06

Lorb told me you wanted some advice, so I'm going to give you some.

Starting with your spec: Is this a raiding spec you listed? If so, don't waste those nine points into subtley. Put them in the assasination tree. Something like this would do better in a raid setting: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=f0ebovZMIVobVzxMGot

And a couple of somewhat easy to get gear upgrades: [Shard of Contempt] from HMrT. The expertise will help you avoid dodges/parries from mobs, plus the 230 ap procs quite often. A ton of badge loot: [item]Angelista's Revenge[/item][Belt of the Silent Path] [Choker of Vile Intent] to name a few. There's a ton more to get that I didn't list, but getting them all depends on how much time you're willing to spend to get heroics/karas/etc done to gear up for the 25 mans.

A usefull mod for all rogues is called Slice Watcher. It creates a large bar that shows how much time is left on slice and dice, and also makes a sound when it runs out.

Those were just a few tips. I know there are a 5 rogues already in the hamfist/lf1m raids, but if you're joining up mainly to be with some of your friends, that shouldn't be much of an issue.

Thanks PULGA for all your

Thanks PULGA for all your help on the re-spec and gear upgrades. It is great advice ---thanks again

Drahtaar

Awsome, another mature

Lorb — Fri, 08/01/2008 - 16:11

Awsome, another mature family man that would fit in great in DF. Drahtaar wispered me that he is on call this weekend but will be signing up for events soon. He is a great guy that would give the shirt off his back if he thought someone needed it. Looking forward to seeing him in events and letting people get to know him.

I will look for that MOD

DRAHTAAR — Sun, 07/27/2008 - 13:22

I will look for that MOD thanks for the tip. I will try to respec also. The gear upgrades is something I am always looking to do. Also I know I am not trying to break into the top raids but I am looking to help the lower raids at any moment. Thanks
