Assume the best for WotLK

Posted 07-23-2008 at 07:15 AM by veneretio
When looking at the new abilities, new talents, new items, new instances, etc

Assume the best.

Understand that just because something new would be overpowered, underpowered, boring, overly trivial, etc in the current game means absolutely nothing as to it's impact in the new game.

Do yourself a favour and assume the best. You'll smile more as a result

Talking about anything other than WotLK?

Posted 07-21-2008 at 08:47 AM by veneretio
Is it worth it?

That's what I'm faced with. I have a policy for my blog at TankingTips and that's that I don't ever talk about Patch notes until they are live. By extension I won't be talking about WotLK until it's live either.

So, I guess what I'm saying here, is I sure hope it's still worth talking about stuff other than WotLK. I've stuck to my guns up until this point and it's done me well enough so far. With the expansion likely still many months away, I have to...

Merge Block Rating and Block Value.

It's simply the only reasonable thing to do with so many talents being based on AP and Shield Slam on it's own as the only ability affected by Block Value.

Thoughts?

They just don't listen to me.

It's a horrible, poisonousness feeling when you realize that your raid is zoning you out. Here's what I've found...

1. This is your fault
2. Get to the Point Faster
3. Repeat yourself, a lot

On progression you'll honestly need to repeat yourself 3 times. A lot of raid leaders don't do this simply because they do this ridiculously huge long winded explanation. It's better to give something a bit longer first try then do a summary after the first and 2nd...
