    Monk is the worst healer, they've still got the broken orb mechanic that Blizzard refuses to fix.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Also remember that there is the Ashran gear which is 660 epics you can get. They took out needing artifact fragments so now all you need is Revered rep with Wrynn's Vanguard or the Horde equivalent. Admittedly, I don't know how hard of a rep grind Revered is but for several specs this gear is...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You actually get four from that combine, but as the 640->655 upgrade costs 150 ingots and the 655->665 upgrade costs 200 ingots, it's still 3500 ore required for one 665 epic armor piece. The real moneymaker is going to be greater draenic flasks. One daily cooldown makes four greater flasks...

    Is there actually any difference between the normal/heroic/mythic heirloom weapons once you level up to level 91?

    You can't talk sense into the people who buy this shit, either. I have a co-worker that suffers from autoimmune problems and she spends thousands of dollars on craniosacral therapy, we don't talk anymore because I flat out told her that she was being scammed. She got really mad at me, apparently...

    What is leveling like on PvP servers? Can you expect tons of griefing that makes it painful or is it not much different than PvE servers?

    Cheated out of my youth

    18 and 50 seems like it would be pretty rare. 18 year old girls generally aren't at the point where they care about money yet unless theyre living alone with a kid, in which case the 50 year old probably isn't interested.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I think this is one of those things they force on you in the military. You know, where you're forced to believe that if your bed isn't made absolutely perfect, you are personally responsible for every bad thing that happens to humanity for the rest of the day. My contribution: When the burger...

    Here's another issue that I'm wondering if it will ever get addressed: The value of secondary stats is different enough for some classes that certain specs are essentially required to succeed in PvP if they want to min/max their characters going into Mythic raiding, because the 660 ilvl PvP gear...

    Lockheed Martin puts out a Fusion Related Press Release

    This is technically true, but.....who cares? Ok, maybe we have 30,000 years worth of fusion fuel and only 3,000 years of fission fuel, but that's pretty much the epitome of irrelevant.

    Lockheed Martin puts out a Fusion Related Press Release

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't really see the huge benefits that come from developing fusion power. We already have thousands of years' worth of resources available for fission power and the latest generation of nuclear plants can't melt down either. The only real problem a...

    Yes, you will have to run the daily cooldown on all of them to get the mats, though. And probably level up the Garrison on all of them to get access to the daily work order that provides additional mas.

    Someone hit my parked car...suggestions?

    I'm baffled at everyone piling on here excoriating him for no collision insurance. All insurance is negative expected value. They're a for profit business. You're going to pay them more than you'll ever get back, they wouldn't be in business otherwise. You buy insurance to cover you...

    What do you do?

    IMHO it's because a lot of people can't tell the difference between a vocational school and truly shit colleges like DeVry that admit everyone and provide you with nothing.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Deuterium can be extracted from plain old water. Tritium has to be bred from lithium-6, which means D-T fusion doesn't really have many more resources in abundance than fission power does. Fusion power honestly doesn't solve our big energy problems. We have enough reserves for thousands of...

    For people trying to PUG raid with Blizzard's new system instead of oQueue: be warned. It seems like simply the requirement of downloading and updating oQueue kept a lot of morons out of the system. Now everyone can get in there. I used to get 10n Garrosh kills through oQueue, now the groups...

    FYI: Several old TBC and WotLK items avoided the stat squish, meaning you can do some hilarious shit. Warglaives of Azzinoth proc is 500 haste, Deathbringer's Will still has its old pre-squish effect.

    Red Pill Thread 2.0: Neckbeard Revenge

    The point was that even though something like fantasy football or those stereotypical hobbies is very likely to be something your date is bored by and totally uninterested in, the worst you're going to do by talking in depth about them is bore your date for awhile. It's not going to be a...

    You guys are all missing the point entirely. Just saying "I play video games" isn't repulsive as long as you move on quickly. What is repulsive is going into detail. As a guy, you can talk in depth about the minutiae of your fantasy football team for 15 minutes straight and your date will...

    My question is, what makes soda so especially toxic? If they added caffeine to orange juice, wouldn't that be pretty much the same thing? Fructose is fructose no matter if it comes from oranges or corn syrup.

    A lot of people are posting that fundamentalist homeschoolers aren't actually teaching their kids anything and just getting them to BS their way through it, or that the kids must be destined to do poorly because the fundamentalist teachings are anathema to academic learning. I'm just pointing...

    I'm actually surprised by a lot of these responses. I was always under the impression that "don't talk about World of Warcraft on a first date" was pretty standard and solid dating advice. It's got nothing to do with whether or not it's the only thing you're interested in, MMOs and other...

    Fundamentalist Christian doesn't automatically mean "stupid," especially from a book learning standpoint. Just like you can understand how Christianity works even if you're an atheist, you can understand how evolution is supposed to work even if you think it's bullshit. Even the worst kind of...

    Well, count me in on the "addicted to soda" camp. When I was a kid I had absolutely terrible allergies. My nose would run to the point where I would have to get up several times a night and chug Gatorade and/or other sugary stuff, because otherwise I'd be seriously dehydrated and suffering from...

    The selection bias for home schooling is pretty extreme and it makes numbers like that useless. The people who choose to home school are the people that know they're going to be good at it, that's why the kids do better. That doesn't mean we'd be better off if everyone homeschooled instead.

    Most residencies in the US are funded by Medicare and when we're in the situation where Medicare has $700 billion in annual expenses on $180 billion in annual revenue, shit tends to start getting cut.

    Two failed matches means she's not going to be a doctor. She's going to end up as a surgery tech or in some other mid-level medical profession. There are only enough residencies for 66% of the graduates graduating that year, it's almost impossible for someone who has failed multiple times to get...

    I'm not ashamed of these things. However, I realize that mentioning these hobbies on a first date is pretty likely to get me filtered out emotionally, simply due to guilt by association. You don't have to hide it for long, because once you've demonstrated you don't fit the negative stereotype...

    Uhm, you have to remember your audience here. Even if you are not a social cripple, if you have stereotypical "nerd" interests you're pretty much obligated to put on an act when on a date. If you spend weeknights playing WoW and your weekend activities consist of ren faires, Magic the...

    If you want a foolproof method for forming a quality pug to kill normal Garrosh, require the Proving Grounds: Endless 30 achievement for each player's respective role to join group. Of course, that requires you find patient people as filling a 10 man that all have this will take hours.

    C&C3 honestly started out as a better game than SC2 was, it's just too bad they had to destroy it in typical EA fashion by releasing an expansion with massive game-breaking bugs and then never fixing them.

    They don't count support paid outside of a court agreement. He'll have to pay back support for every month since they got divorced plus interest.

    Uhm, WoW has the hardest gameplay of all MMOs. Nothing even comes close. Oh, right, you want to have to farm forty 1% drops off multi-hour rare spawns in order to be able to even access the content at all. I'm not sure that counts as "hard," though. Every other MMO in existence either has...

    Child support isn't alimony. Child support is based on your income. I posted it before, but just recently Halle Berry was ordered to pay over $5 million in support over 12 years to her ex boyfriend.

    The cloak actually doesn't count toward the limit, but with it taking 40 days of cooldowns to make one 665 epic, you still won't have them for awhile.

    There's no way a DOTA clone can ever pull in the casuals like WoW did. I don't care how much fun the game is, the absurd, sociopathic hostility that these games' communities are known for will drive them away real fast. They should do some YouTube reaction videos showing new HOTS players react...

    It will last past heroics as well. Heroic gear is 625 and the cloak is 616, but the cloak has three secondary stats while other cloaks have only two. Unless 6.0 removes a stat from it with all the secondary changes, you'll be wearing it until you start raiding.
