The picture says it all.

The armory hasn't saved the new me. So let me do some translating for those who can't read a picture of an orc :P.

20% more movement speed
~60dps/~30dps(but the axe and dagger still needs serious skilling up)
+115str from gear now
~+15 agi
~+30stm
~1300 armor.

And from my "extensive testing" in the 5 min before I logged off :P... I rock the house now. I bring a flurry of world ending doom and death and choppity and slicety. I am the desert. I am the tundra. I am the element that kills you!

-------------------------------------------------
Okay. Now that that is out of my system, I'll go back to whistling happily and staring blankly into my happy place. See you guys a bit later with a post about getting xp.

I can't read Orcish, but I can read Shaman well enough to get a rough translation ;)

For the Enhancer, start getting into good habits now! Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow weapons, everything else is secondary.

Addendum: You're not quite a "flurry of world ending doom and death and choppity and slicety" yet...

... but you will be in one more level when you get StormStrike!

I purchased the slowest level 35-40 none-main-hand weapon I could at the time :P My AH sucked last night. All the axes were main hand. All the maces where two-hand ;P. No fist weapons so I don't even know if there were any slow ones. And I get left with a 1.3 speed dagger. At least it had str on it.

At level 43 I'll be changing to a much slower axe, if I can't find anything before then.

The axe I bought two weeks ago in preperation for level 40... I didn't think to check...and it was mainhand.

Greater scythe of suck.

So I had to just use one +7 str axe instead of 2.

Had another thought.. I had been planning on picking up the +6% hit before stormstrike as I'm missing a ton. Does it change things so very much? Based on how long my fights last it seems like I'd only get to use it about every other fight. But if it is a drastic change I'll grab it next.

I meant to add that my fights last about 45 seconds and I thought it has a 2 min cooldown.

Grab StormStrike first.

It's an instant, double-weapon attack, and makes your next Earth Shock +20%. Lightning shields, too.

10 second cooldown.

It's huge, as both weapons can independently crit and trigger Flurry, and both weapons can trigger WF (main hand first)...

... assuming the WF 3-second "hidden" cooldown is over. Do you have a WF timer mod yet? (It'll show the windfury cooldown as a timer bar)

10 seconds!

Runs to go look it up.

GAAH

Runs back in a state of glee.

Seriously I thought it was on a 2 min cooldown.

And no I currently don't have any timers. I tend to use my BloodFury cooldown as my totem timer. Can you recomend a good WF timer?

Totem timer - I've always just used DoTTimer for that (as I had that for my lock and priest). I think there are better ones out there though.

WF timer is different - it's tracking the WF weapon imbue timing and not the totem (which you won't use while soloing). Once WF procs (from either hand), it can't proc again for 3 seconds (again, from either hand).

A "WF Timer" mod shows that cooldown. The reason it's nice is that you generally want to wait until WF is "eligible" (aka, off cooldown) before hitting Stomrstrike, as the SS gives 2 shots to get a WF proc immediately.

There are a couple mods that do that - DisqoDice (curse) and Enhancer (ACE) both do that and a lot more, and there was another one that I used before named "wf3s" or somesuch that had just the timer.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...
