We have a lot of work ahead of us, lets try to meet new people while we level so we can expand the guild.

Eric finally might cream.

Hello rogues,

We’ve got some updates coming soon for the rogue class and I wanted to duck in and give you a sneak preview of what we’ve been working on as well as our future goals. Below are lists (by no means exhaustive) of some of these changes and goals.

General

- Quality of life improvements: Removal of various reagents (Thieves’ Tools, Flash Powder) as well as a Poisons skill change. We’re removing the Poisons skill and making the finished poisons available on vendors for purchase. This should free up a fair amount of bag space.
- Envenom: Now also increases your chance to apply poisons by 25% for 2-6 seconds (based on combo points).
- Wounding Poison: No longer stacks. The first application now reduces healing by 50%.
- Anesthetic Poison: Now also removes one Enrage effect from the target.
- Evasion, Sprint, Vanish: Cooldown reduced to 3 minutes. (Talents that reduce cooldown take this down to 2 minutes.)
- Cloak of Shadows: Cooldown increased to 2 minutes. (Elusiveness now reduces this cooldown to 1 minute.)
- A new level 75 ability has been designed. This is going to be one of the bigger teases as we’re not quite ready to talk about this one yet. I will say that will add some much needed group utility.
- Fan of Knives: Weapon normalization to equalize effectiveness regardless of weapons carried.

Assassination

- Mutilate: No longer requires you be behind the target.
- Relentless Strikes: Talent is too “required” and will be made more accessible. Vigor will replace its spot in the tree and a new talent will be created to fill Vigor’s spot.
- Find Weakness: Made passive to cut down on the number of triggered effects that either don’t affect gameplay or affect it in a negative way.
- Cut to the Chase: No longer requires a critical Eviscerate or Envenom. The finisher just has to land.
- Hunger for Blood: Now removes any harmful physical effect instead of Bleed or Magic effects. Bleed effects will still be removed (as all are physical) as well as effects like Mortal Strike, Aimed Shot, Expose Armor etc…

Combat

- Riposte: Now generates a combo point.
- Mace Specialization: This will grant armor penetration when using a mace. (The warrior talent will as well.)
- Deflection: Reduced to 3 ranks for 2/4/6% parry. This should soften the prereq for Riposte.
- Fist Weapon Specialization: Merged with Dagger Specialization.
- Dagger Specialization: Renamed Close Quarters Combat, moved to tier 3.
- Dual Wield Specialization: Moved to tier 1. Lightning Reflexes swapped locations with it and still needs a little more “oomph”.
- Unfair Advantage and Stay of Execution: Change to more offensive/utility (read mobility) talents. Too much defense on this tier.
- Killing Spree: Weapon normalization to equalize effectiveness regardless of weapons carried.

Subtlety

- More attractive Tier 1 to draw in all types of builds.
- Fewer dagger specific talents to allow additional build options.
- Wrongfully Accused: Reviewed. This talent doesn’t fit well in this location. May be moved lower and/or redesigned.
- Shadow Dance: A bit awkward at the moment. Due for some polish and some design tweaks.

Plenty to do still as you can see. As I mentioned, this isn’t everything we’ve got our eye on but gives you something to discuss and look for in an upcoming beta patch. Please add to the list anything you think needs special attention.

Wow.. 13 hours!!! in a 2v2 Arena match

Now this is some shit if I ever saw it.

A Resto Druid and a SL warlock dueling it out in the Blades Edge arena for 13 hours! The funny thing is the Warlock was making brownies with the girlfriend and watching Terminator 1. Oh! He also had time to post about the ongoing match in Blizzards forums.

Here is the story from Wowinsider. Good stuff! Nerf Druids. QQ

My thoughts on Beta (Palidans)

Well I fully spec'd prot all the way down to the very last spell and the first thing that popped up in amazement is my base spell damage. In BC my base spell damage was only 240 unbuffed. Now its 602 unbuffed! Wow. But unfortunately it all doesn't matter anymore for tankidans due to the increased [righteous fury] talent with increased threat at 90% along with various other spells increasing you're threat. Here is the screenshot.

More once I start to really get into it.

Base mana for dummies

Dradon — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 01:42:36 -0000

Posted 08/21/2008 06:42 PM by Dradon.

In Wrath of the Lich King, all spells are being reworked so that their cost, rather than being a static mana value, is a percentage of your base mana pool (this is largely to prevent downranking). For instance, in the current, live game, Levitate costs 100 mana. In the Wrath beta, Levitate costs 3% of base mana But what is base mana?

It's the amount of mana you have before talents, buffs, and stats (like intellect and +mana) are factored in, and before base intellect from your race is taken into account. In other words, it's the amount of mana you would have if you were naked, unbuffed, and un-talented, and had no Intellect. Thus, it is a static value for each character of a given class/level combination. Getting more Int from gear will not raise the cost of spells, because it does not raise your base mana pool (it raises total mana pool). [Thanks for the correction, Breck and Improbable.]

So to the person who wrote in asking "what's the point of getting more Int if it will just make spell costs go up," I hope that answers your question: more Int does not affect your base mana pool. Ultimately we should see little difference from this base-mana-pool spell cost change, aside from the death of downranking.

Lich Kings idea of inscriptions for Palidans

Now this is some sick shit.. Inscriptions which is the new profession for the expansion is turning out to be a bad ass profession. Glyphs are an 'enchantment' for you're players spells and abilities. Palidans inscriptions are looking sweet!

Take a look at WoWInsider's article regarding the new inscriptions for the class. I mean increasing you're consecration range? Increased righteous defense threat and more damage on Seal of Command? Mmmm makes me wanna cream myself.

Check out the article!

Ass Eating Maniacs

Hey gang! So I've spent the last couple years in and out of hospitals for psych, detox, rehab, you name it. One constant upon check-in is that all porn is confiscated. Now, being a veteran hospital resident, I know this. But what would be funnier than having my best friend who drove me to rehab slip an issue of "shaved snizz" magazine into my suitcase.

Totally uncool because I'm high and drunk and detoxing and now have to explain my taste in porn. Even better was the second time I went in for rehab, my buddy knew all security staff was black so he shoves a copy of "Black Tail" magazine in my bag. Nice. To make matters worse, every time this dude visited me in the hospital he'd smuggle in and hide some crazy magazine like hairy assholes or furry twats or midget jugs somewhere in my room for either me or the staff to find..

These events led me to draw a link to today's video porn available. Listen, I come from the days of Edward Penishands and the Flintbones. But today the selections are so much more fucked up than Edward Penishands' five penis fingers on each hand. My first selection is She Said Blow Me. Yes, SHE. Chicks with dicks people. Next, and my favorite, Ass Eating Maniacs. As far as I could gather from the box, it's a bunch of Thai prostitutes eating mens' asses. How 'bout "Big Fat Creampie?". Yes, apparently this gem will allow you to see dudes jizzing into fat chicks after which them blow it all back out onto the dude. Finally, and this one made me wish I was back in high school, "I Wanna Cum Inside Your Mom #11.".

Suffice to say the porno of today unmysteriously tells you exactly what you're getting. If you wanna see dudes cumming inside moms look no further than the come inside your mom series. But what I really miss is the whimsical porn with a hilarious edge of the 80s: Flintbones, Sperminator, Edward Penishands, etc. That's when porn had a plot other than depositing sperm inside the asshole of an Asian prostitute. In the 80s porn was so funny you could laugh yourself to orgasm.

Friday (July 25) marks the 25th anniversary of the release of METALLICA's debut album, "Kill 'Em All". Originally issued on July 25, 1983 through the independent label Megaforce Records, "Kill 'Em All" was recorded in two weeks on a miniscule budget in upstate New York. Although only 1,500 copies were initially pressed, the album was reissued by Elektra Records after the band signed to that label in 1984 and has since been certified triple platinum for sales of more than three million copies.

The original title of "Kill 'Em All" was "Metal Up Your Ass".

The album's opening cut, "Hit the Lights", was the first song that frontman James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich wrote together after forming METALLICA. An early version of the track appeared on the 1982 compilation "Metal Massacre".

Lead guitarist Dave Mustaine was replaced by Kirk Hammett shortly before recording commenced, although Mustaine still has several writing credits on the disc and went on to form MEGADETH.

A number of songs from the album are still part of METALLICA's set list to this day, including "The Four Horsemen", "Seek and Destroy" and "No Remorse".

METALLICA has since gone on to become one of the biggest rock bands in the world, selling tens of millions of copies of its eight studio albums, including 15 million alone of 1991's self-titled "black album." The band's ninth effort, "Death Magnetic", is slated to arrive in September.

As for how long the group can continue to play, drummer Lars Ulrich told The Pulse of Radio that he feels good about METALLICA's future. "It's still fun and there's still a lot of people that get off on it, and, you know, you're playing to 50,000 people in Norway and most of them weren't born, not when 'Kill 'Em All' came out, but, like, when the 'black album'came out! You know what I mean, it's like a whole new thing. The question mark is, I just don't know physically. The physical element is just the unknown. If we can find a way to deal with that, then I think we could stick around for a while."

With this anniversary, METALLICA is now eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Metal Blade Records owner and CEO Brian Slagel recently conducted interviews with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich to coincide with the 25th anniversary of "Kill 'Em All". Watch the six-and-a-half-minute clip below.

Id would rather have Mexicans at work.

Well here it is, I promised an article about Mexicans and here it is. First of all let me tell you my wonderful shitty job. I work for a pizza company I make the dough and the pay is terrible! I only make enough to support my wacky tobacky habit. So it works out. Good thing the wife is the breadwinner.

So anywho. Oh my god do we have slackers at my workplace. Take a look at this perfect example of an employee that should be taken through the cheese grater in our factory.

I took this picture today, I come outside to see if I can indulge in a little bit of early 4:20 to see in the garage this slag sleeping on some pallet's. AWESOME! So I whipped out my cell phone and snapped this beauty. Aint he cute? How does he sleep? I mean cmon, on a pallet? So I snapped my picture and went in the back of the plant and took a few hits of this new hybrid im growing, still a bit harsh on the inhale. Guess I need to lower the nitrates a bit on the soil.

So we do have a couple of temps working at the building.. Yep! Mexican! First off I'd like to thank Mike for being there for me when I needed a translator. Hes gotton so many calls from me lawl. But if you get past the language barrier, those fuckers can work. Although I can tell they dont like working there and they cant wait to go home and have an enchilada or something.

This is for PJ.

I gotta get me a peice of this..
