A druid related thread with random screenies and a question.2010-03-24 00:00:00wowwiki wrote: Cat Form
When: Level 20.
This is currently a trained ability. Quest not implemented, however; there is a Great Cat Spirit in Moonglade. Unconfirmed information states that there was at one time a Cat Form quest related to the cat spirit, the NPC Volcor and the Escape Through Stealth quests in Darkshore, but that this was removed due to the developers' feeling that druids were getting too much Cenarion Reputation too early in the leveling curve.
Don't know when ...
The Black Arrow2010-03-16 00:00:00May be very overpowered in comparison but hunters really did need a spell like this. It would make us a much better PvP class since locks have fear mages have sheep. This is our CC that we needed minus freeze trap of course. This and conc would effectively freeze an opponent and give us the upper hand we needed to combat other classes with true CC abilities. I can see a great use for this in dungeons as well. I mean mages can sheep and freeze but hunters normally can only freeze one thing at a time. Now with this we may be a...
1700+ Ranged AP pre-raid? :O2010-03-10 00:00:00Getting a better melee weapon will make a huge difference as well. Terokk's Quill, Sonic Spear or even Crystalforged War Axe from the AH would be better. Once you have the better weapon, then you can get +35 agi on it as well.
There are still a lot of upgrades out there for you from the list you already referred to. You have more +crit than my BM hunter, but I have about 200 more AP unbuffed. We're around the same gear level, but I haven't run an instance since Underbog so I know there are a lot of upgrades for me. I don't know about getting 1700 AP, but you can definitely bump it up a lot more than you have right now.-Kul Tiras ...
Gimped DPS after 2.3.3 macro changes?2010-03-04 00:00:00I ran Kara last night for the first time since the macro changes and was still using the good old stand-by steady/auto rotation.
I do things a bit differently, but it has always worked very well--what I would do is spam the macro, and as steady shot would be casting, I'd start spamming either arcane or multi. This used to make the special fire just after the steady and just before the auto, so it went something...

Dawn Of War II Review: Once More, With Tyranids2009-10-15 00:00:00Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War was a big hit. Relic's next game, Company of Heroes, was even better. So the company's next game, Dawn of War II, will continue the trend, yes?
Sort of.
Fans of Relic's previous two games will be surprised to find that Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War II bears little resemblance to either. Where Dawn of War shot for Warhammer's sense of epic warfare and came up short, this game goes in the opposite direction, forgoing scale for intimacy as you find yourself in command of an army of...eleven men.
Which is tiny. Teeny tiny. Definitely not the sort of thing you expect from a real-time strategy game. Which is lucky, then, because Dawn of War II isn't really a real-time strategy game. Least, not one like you've ever seen before.

Level Up - You'll only end up commanding between 8-11 men in the game, split over four "squads", and those four squads are led by heroes. Don't think of these heroes as RTS pawns. Think of them as RPG party members. They have names, they never really die, and between missions their attributes can be levelled up to make them more formidable. You'll grow very, very attached to them.
Loot Drop - The RPG similarities continue with loot, which is dropped throughout missions. You'll get better weapons and better armour for killing bad guys, which can then be...
