The worst part about pvp is when you have like 5 or 6 guys in temple or mines all on the cloak quest and the other team is all in actual pvp gear. Leads to some really awful matches when half the guys in the BG on one team are there on a PVE quest.
Eh, I just did the one where you hold the orbs, and did pretty well in PvE gear (blood DK). Got 3 achievements -powerball, all-star and victory lol. I felt like that map was made for me.

I'd be willing to try out ElvUI for a bit, but I'm pretty spoiled by my 3x4 action bar grids that keep my brain straight when using my naga mouse.
Elvui has very advanced options. The least of which you can resize your action bars to 3x4, 2x6 or whatever you want. One thing I do with my action bars, is because I'm a lock I have actionbar bloat. I have cookies, summoning blah blah blah. I put all those on a separate action bar, which elvui allows me to fade out of combat. In fact, I'm pretty sure with elvui advance (plugin for elvui) you can fade out anything you want.

Also, Elvui has skins for all the major addons builtin, and you can even do cool things like half bar skins for DBM/BigWigs or integrate Skada with your right chat window. It has a plethora of options for customizing if your into that stuff.

Right now all I use is Skada, BigWigs, ElvUi, and WeakAuras. I'm even in the process of setting up enough macros in WeakAuras so I can literally hide everything except weakaura timers and raidframes in combat. It's pretty damn cool.

Oh I also use Zygor because I'm a completionist and when I can't find something to do I like to go mount/pet hunting and Zygor is just awesome for that. Also when you see somebody with a cool mount you can click on them and click on the zygor button and it will pull up a guide on how to get that mount.

Yep WoW UI is still shitting on the competition. Why nobody has copied it is beyond me.

Elvui is good and I would recommend for people that don't like configuring their own ui or really aren't sure what they need. They are advanced in a sense, but also restrictive because you don't get as much freedom as you would with standalone addons.

So I just checked my mail on an alt, and someone sent me 41k gold, titled "a kind gesture"... Wtf is this? Someone quitting? A gold selling scam?

Never heard of anything like that. Probably just a random act of kindness, but I suppose it could be a scam.

Yeah, wonder what idiot that came up with that idea. Most people doing the quest probably hates PvP, has no PvP gear or skills whatsoever, and will just queue until the they get lucky enough to find a team to carry them. End result is a sucky experience for everyone involved.

Luckily I won both matches my first time because I hate the PvP. It was the stupidest design decision ever.

I kept queueing as a dps and lost like 20 times straight. Finally said screw it changed spec and reforged into healing and one shot mines and two shot orbs. Stupid design decision for sure.

Mines are hilarious on a Brewmaster Monk. Undergeared players can't even out-dps Expel Harm. "My job is to stand next to this cart and never die."

So the new thing to do is queue as a tank, get into LFR, promote everyone to Main Tank, and then pull trash so that nobody can kick you.

I had it happen to me 4 times today.

Hey guys, I just started playing about a week and a half ago. I've got a 64 Human Priest now, and I'm having a little bit of trouble keeping up with the heals. My question is, what add-ons do I need for this class and race, and what add-ons do I need just in general to make life easier? I'm sure this has been asked before, I'm just too lazy to travel through 190 pages of WoW lingo I don't understand. Thanks.

Disc: You just need to watch certain spell CDs.

Group healing - Holyfire/pw: solace and smite spam will take care of most moderate group healing. Pom should be used on cd always. Poh is gonna be used for higher group healing. You should shield the lowest player prior to pohing for the haste buff.

Single target - shield and penance. If penance is off cd gh/fh depending on inc dmg.

High dmg - spirit shell + poh to build shields prior to heavy aoe dmg is something you should practice and get good at. Throw in archangel and pi as well if needed. Barrier is another good raid cool down. And pain suppression for high single target dmg.

Really you should be spamming atonement in between periods of high single target and group dmg.

I don't know if you get void shift yet, but that's a good one as well... our loh of sorts. Hit a health stone or desperate prayer after. Eventually you will get the level 90 talents and the decision ultimately becomes divine star or halo?

Good luck hopefully that isn't too much or too confusing.

I will be highly upset if it's a fucking time travel expansion, and if Grom motherfucking Hellscream is a bad guy.

Grom is THE most iconic character in the Warcraft universe...fuck Thrall, fuck Arthas, fuck all of them.
