Missing the Memo

[Rhiannon]

5.1 Wrathion quest series give an extra on-weapon gem slot.

wait - thought tht was for sha-touched weapons only.

It is. http://www.wowhead.com/item=93403

They were talking about the sha-touched 1h so not sure how this confusion has arisen.

Just noticed Dread Crystal turn-ins for Klaxxi are 5 instead of 20. Yippee.

So little rep from that that it really doesn't matter.

[Teranoid]

I don't call 550 rep with the commendation little.

They must have upped it, I remember turning in my first 20 which took forever and getting 180 rep.

There is now an option to show absorb effects (such as Power Word: Shield) on player, target, party and raid frames. This feature is currently enabled if you turn on the predictive healing option. Unlike predictive healing, absorb effects will display for enemy targets.

It's ironic, I have just started using a shield absorb tracker add-on and found it the biggest quality of life improvement since GTFO or may even power/weak auras.

It just goes to show what a great feature allowing Add-ons is - it's like a free lunch (or many free lunches) for Blizzard, as they can harness the enormous creativity and ingenuity of many of their customers to help improve their game design. It's like the virtues people extol about the free market or free society in a little gaming microcosm.

I don't think I ever used those things even when I was doing the quest achieves.

Indeed, I've done the "Silent Assassin" achieve without them...

After the achieves I only take the rogue, hits like a truck, very handy Vs. elites

I often miss the extra daily on Klaxxi ones, just not into that..

[KysenMurrin]

There's another "hidden" daily for Klaxxi. Killed the big elite "dread matriarch" in front of HoF, it dropped a quest item.

There are 3 hidden dailies for them, each started by an item drop. The items are dropped by Karanosh in front of HoF, Kypa'rak in the Briny Muck, and Warlord Gurthan in Terrace of Gurthan (the one that needs 2 to summon). Each is only available when the dailies are in that area.

Just hit exalted with the Klaxxi, I'm only doing it for the VP/Coins in between LFR queues, I left out some unfinished quests that I'm doing now to unlock all the quest/buff givers, I'm 2 "buffs" short of the "all Klaxxi" achieve..

After I do that the only dailies I'll be doing are Golden Lotus (for the shards) and Dominance Offensive for the Rep. (there's also a rare elite achieve, I always get the rare ninjaed)

I didn't know that spiritwalker totem removes the stacks of stone on MSV trash, goodbye failing priests that don't dispel!

I found out accidentally it is near my other totem keys so..

[benebarba]

found out fish (and every type of mob I've tested so far) can block.

You mean windwalk totem? Thanks for that tip. There's no shaman in my raid group, but it is worth knowing for LFR. Sadly it's talented, so you can't guarantee shamans will know it.

[KysenMurrin]

Earthgrab is much more popular, and is actually useful on some bosses, which means it tends to sit in the default spot and not get swapped for trash. I'll have to bear it in mind, though.

You can carry plenty of Tomes for that... also useful on doggies, to free people out of traps/slows, sadly I have to use it every CD because people are bad.. LOL..

And about those stone stacks... also missed the memo on my DRUID... the old switch form thing still works and removes the stacks..

[Daeva001]

Hand of Freedom also wipes out Flesh to Stone. Completely forgot about that the first 20 times...
