That Undelete is fucking awesome. I'm pretty sure I have my vanilla/tbc druid on this account (I had two accounts) and I want to try to get it back. For some weird fucky reason I never got my rank 13 title on my account. I guess with moving the chracter cross accounts and deleting it like right before achievements were a thing left me without my vanilla pvp title.

Of course I can just go get it again through rated BGs but seems so far the only rated BGs I'm able to get into is if I pay my way into them. I mean pay actual money. Fuck that.

CAN'T WAIT

I don't know that I've ever deleted a character before. What are your guys' reasons for deleting?

There's a maximum number of characters you're allowed to have across all servers. Eventually you'll have to delete one if you keep creating new ones.

I've made a few characters just to check out all the new quests in the Cata revamp. I'd hit 60 and immediately delete 'em. A couple of them were still decked out it heirlooms, whoops. Would be nice if I could recover them but by this point I've built up a basic enough set for each class.

Sometimes it's the only way out bro
^ this
I needed to get my shit together and that was at a point where I just could not stop myself from playing wow, so I deleted my characters since I fucking hate leveling (still do, too), and it actually helped. lol

Any advice on leveling addons for a fire mage in BoA's?

well since you're leveling with herlooms you could probably autoattack your way to 60 and then if you haven't gotten it figured out by then what to do, I don't even know what to tell ya.

Aside from basic addons like deadly boss mods, which you don't really need for a long time, I really liked running withNPC Scannergoing cause it finds rares for you and then marks them. Also you can click on your minimap and enable "Show Target" so you can see exactly where it is. Free blues and a nice lil chunk of XP for every rare you kill pretty much.
WoD really messed this up, but it still works. Thanks for the tip man.

TLDR;
Feral is OP
Arms is good and uses ~2 buttons
Rogue is the best pure DPS melee
MM Hunter is the best ranged (but the other two specs are garbage)
Warrior has the most viable DPS specs
Mage has the most viable ranged DPS specs

Also, all but like 2 fights this tier have multiple targets in them, so the cleave specs will tend to place higher on real DPS than the single target sims. ChiEx Monk vaults up the chart the moment it has something to Earth Wind and Fire (especially advantageous when the multiple targets can't be tanked on top of each other, so you're the only one actually getting your "cleave").

One of Arms's two buttons is whirlwind, and they also have the silliness of their cleave activatable, so the multi-target fights just push arms further up on the chart.

I've gone through ... far more RAF character/accounts than i ever should have. I also switched to a new account in TBC, so i deleted some characters whom i'm going to activate a trial on the old account, undelete and see if they're still around lol

That makes my Enhancement Shaman sad. So I guess we get left in the dust for melee DPS. I am so tempted to roll a warrior just so I only have to hit 2 buttons. Fuck this Skill= how adept can a person be at whack a mole while moving around. I would love to only have to hit 2 buttons and just enjoy the fight for its mechanics rather than my skill at type timing.

Wow, surv and bm are a dumpster fire on sims. I hope that turns out to be bullshit but I pretty much called it since MM has the "stand still for 3 seconds for buff" crap.

Hell, they just nerfed survival further. It was only above tanks...

I know simc is far from reality but not THAT far.

I was going to ask how accurate (historically) simc is. Those numbers seem pretty wild.

How well, if at all, do the simulators model Time On Target?

A melee DPS should always have higher DPS ceilings compared to Ranged DPS since it is harder for them to have a high TOTarget % due to having to move around more. When you factor in it being easier for RDPS to have a higher TOTarget value, in the end it all balances out.
