How do you see yourself evolving as an "athlete-turned-entrepreneur? Ten years ago,the thought of a professional gamer would have been absurd.
We want players to play the game continually with multiple classes. But, we also want players to fully develop a single class. So the answer is both. We want both.

Arena help.
2010-03-06
Please be gentil, when it comes to PvP i am very inexperienced :P
I recently got an invite from a guild mate to form a 2v2 team. Well, I like the look of some of the available items you can get from PvP so i accepted. This is my first time in the arena ever, and basically the first time doing ANY PvP at 70. I am really not much of a PvP'er. I enjoy PvP fine enough but just don't get around to it on my hunter. Too busy saving up for epic doing dailies and farming . I do BGs with my rog but only about 2 ever on my hunter lol.....what I'm getting at is I am a fricking PvP noobstick.
So...my new 2v2 buddy is a 70 mage. It's actually 2 different mages lol. I pair up with whichever one is available. I know for sure one is a frost mage and I think the other is as well. I am BM spec btw. My toon's name is Nimbis on azuremyst if ya'll would like to critique my gear. I DO NOT brag about my gear. I do solo really well. All blues cept for one or 2 minor items. I really like my boots evn though they are green. They are better than some blues I've seen lol. Anyway. I know my teammates and I really need to gear up to be successful in arena but we are just getting started and need practice as well as gearzzz.
I am not in a guild with a lot of high lvls. We don't do stuff like heroics or big raids that might net some better items so I'm stuck with what i can find on AH , aquire solo, or get from something with a...

Am I ready for Gruul or ZA?
2010-03-03
I'd take you into a Gruul run, but I highly recommend getting hit capped. If you get up to 142 hit, you'll increase your DPS by almost 3. Also, if you change one of those +16 AP gems on your chestpiece to a purple gem, you would have the requirements for the Relentless Earthstorm Diamond on your helm, which would increase your DPS significantly.
I don't, however, think that you'll you well in ZA. ZA is for the people who have gotten all (or at least MOST) of their gear from and are looki...

Advice on my pants
2010-03-02
I'm assuming you are a raider, in which case you want the Nethercobra. You have plenty of Stamina as it is. Even the regular Cobrahide is better than the Nethercleft, imo.
The Nethercleft is mainly for tanks or PvP.
Three suggestions:
1 - Swap out the purple gem on your pants for a +Hit, +Agi, or +AP gem. The Dodge socket bonus is basically worthless, so ignore i...

Focus dump for pet on autocast?
2010-02-24
See that thread at the top that says 'HELP ME'? It's designed for incidental one-off questions, use it!
Scotty basically covered it though. Do you have problems with aggro because your pet isn't able to Growl? If so, try turning off the focus dump. Most people find this isn't much of a problem anymore thanks to the focus refunding talents available though.
The other solution is to simply spec marks or survival and kill the thing before it even has a chance to reach you; in this case you'd turn the Growl cast off entirely and just let the f...

Warcraft Pen-And-Paper RPG Interview
11 April 2003 01:00 - John [JCal] Callaham
Sword and Sorcery Studios (a subsidiary of White Wolf Publishing) recently announced plans to create a pen-and-paper RPG based on Blizzard's hit Warcraft game franchise. HomeLAN got a chance to chat with the game's managing editor Andrew Bates and game designer E. Deirdre Brooks to find out more about their plans for the Warcraft RPG.
HomeLAN - How did the idea come about to adapt Warcraft as an pen-and-paper RPG?
Andrew Bates - I really don't know, to be honest. Sword & Sorcery took over the license from Wizards of the Coast, so I couldn't say who first had the idea. It's a pretty obvious idea, though -- well, at least to me. The Warcraft computer games focus on mass combat strategy, but they're set in a world rich with ideas. Ever since I played the first Warcraft computer game, I thought it'd be cool to roleplay in the setting.
The folks at Blizzard have a similar interest. You can see that in their plans to launch the World of Warcraft online game -- plus, a bunch of them are huge d20 fans. They've been very enthusiastic about seeing Warcraft released in pen-and-paper form.
HomeLAN - WotC had the Warcraft license originally. How did Sword and Sorcery come to take it on?
Andrew Bates - Being in the right place at the right time, I suppose. As you may recall, Wizards of the Coast released a Starcraft pen-and-paper RPG years ago, and a Diablo sourcebook more recently. They were designing a Warcraft sourcebook a few years back, but put publication on hold. (You'd have to talk to them as to why, but I think it's all for the best. We received their manuscript as part of the license arrangement, but much of it's outdated compared to Blizzard's published material and the focus is very different from where Sword & Sorcery is headed with the Warcraft RPG.)
Anyway, Warcraft happened to come up in the course of talking about our other WotC licenses, Ravenloft and Gamma World. We're big Blizzard fans and they've liked our stuff, too. Since WotC was willing also, transferring the license benefitted everyone.
In fact, not only has Blizzard been enthusiastic about the game's development, but WotC's also given it their stamp of approval. The Warcraft core campaign setting will release under the Dungeons & Dragons banner, and will be fully compatible with the revised 3rd Edition rules. All that help combined with Sword & Sorcery's talented folks should make for an amazing game.
HomeLAN - Sword and Sorcery has also created a pen-and-paper RPG based on Everquest as well. What is the attraction to make RPGs based on PC games?
Andrew Bates - It's not so much PC games as it is strong properties. We're not concerned with where an RPG candidate comes from, as long as the concept is creative and dynamic. That being said, we are careful about not wanting to simply tread the same ground. We were ambivalent about doing Warcraft at first since we're already producin...
