Nice dude. I haven't had a noteworthy gym day in a while. It's always good to put up a personal best. I think I've plateaued a little, so I'm going to have to mix up my workout again.

A ziploc bag full of Jack Daniels airplane bottles in my underwear works just fine for me. Seriously, what security dude ever pats down a GUY's crotch? Edit: In before a creepy comment from Stang...that I'm sure I totally set myself up for.

Very tempting. Depends on the price. I have an account right now, but the prospect of not having to pay monthly fees while Funcom tries to fix all the bugs would be nice.

free AoC for life????

Lyssa, thank you for the multitude of pictures. I now know all the structural weaknesses and locations for possible mechanical/electrical failure. If you ever want to run an insurance scam you know who to talk to. Just pray I'm never in the area and get bored...

to =/= too =/= two

COOKIECOOKIECOOKIE!!!!!!!!!!!! Edit: You're the news...you are.

No doubt! MMA Olympic Medal > any other medal...ever. Phelps is a mouth-breathing retard who fell into a spot on the hype train because there are so many damn events in swimming. What other sport offers that many medals to one person? Maybe gymnastics, but that actually takes more diverse skills. If you're good at swimming you've got a shot at a bunch of medals. Besides, any time someone reaches girly teeny-bopper drool status to the point where Bob frickin Costas talks about how many Facebook friends you have, instead of something relavent, there is something fundamentally wrong with the world. Phelps should melt down his medals, sell the gold, and use the money to fix whatever unfortunate malady is causing his jaw to never close.

Hotness...if only AoC was more developed right now. WHO looks more like AoC style graphics...more gritty less cartoony.

Did someone say we needed a Marine with infinite ammo? Time to get IDKFA tattooed on my chest!

Very nice! I don't think you'll have trouble in ZA at all. Find yourself a good Tankadin to run with and you'll knock the animal bosses out of the water.

He means that I know way too much theorycraft on tanking to not consider myself a nerd... But I'm not a FCKING nerd! I just like to know as much as I can about what I do, so I can try to be the best it...even if I'm not.

Devastate hits harder with a slower weapon and will therefore produce more threat with [item]Mallet of the Tides[/item] than with [item]Edge of Oppression[/item]. Faster weapons will produce threat quicker, but won't provide as much burst threat. You should be using Shield Slam at every opportunity anyways, which is your best threat generator, so look more for stats than speed.

Vanin explained the rationale behind Stam Stacking very well. I have a health pool THIS BIG and on average the Boss hits me THIS HARD, my healers learn that every X AMOUNT OF TIME I usually need a THIS BIG HEAL. Avoidance tanks make healers cry themselves to sleep. Healer: Wow the tank isn't taking any damage. Tank: Dodge, dodge, parry.. Healer: OMFG SPAM HEALS CDs ZOMG Tank: Kersplat. Block rating is also a very good mitigation stat, although it's hard to find on any decent gear before T5.

Yes, when the Boss Parries you(or anyone) his next attack is 40% faster. Yes, when you Parry the Boss your next attack is also faster. I apparently didn't proofread my post as well as I thought. Stacking Def for a warrior is absolutely insane. If you are going for an avoidance build, which you really shouldn't be until late T5 at the earliest(in my opinion), gemming for specific stats is better than straight Def. Stacking Def is only a viable option for trying to achieve Passive Uncrushability, because it does affect more mitigation stats than simply gemming for Dodge or Parry. My opinion is Stam is king until you start getting T6 gear, which is itemized a lot more towards avoidance.

Uncrushable means that you cannot be hit by a crushing blow (150% of normal damage). Warriors easily achieve uncrushability by using their Shield Block ability, which adds 75% mitigation on top of whatever you normally have. 102.4% mitigation is required in order to not be hit by a crushing blow. 5/5 Deflection (5% Parry) and your stats from gear should easily make up the difference, otherwise you must be tanking naked. Passive Uncrushable is when you attain 102.4% mitigation without the use of Shield Block. This is useful (although only mildly) for bosses that Dual Wield, Hit Fast, and deliver Crushing Blows. For example, Prince can crush, he dw's, and hits really fast which can cause problems for undergeared tanks or warriors that don't Shield Block at every opportunity. Also, if a boss Parries the tank, or anyone else, his next attack will be 40% faster(which is why melee DPS stands behind the bosses). There are a few other bosses like this, but in WotLK it looks like they are removing Crushing Blows all together. I really only use my Passive Uncrush set on Tidewalker because it makes him a joke for a warrior tank. Other than that, I might throw that set on to grind mobs as prot, since they can barely hit me.

Gryph hit the nail on the head. As soon as you pass 490 Def start looking at other stats. Stacking Def is only good if you are going for Passive Uncrushable, which you can't achieve without the help of a few pieces of SSC/TK/ZA gear. Specific recommendations: -Replace your Def cloak enchant with Dodge or Agi or even Armor -Replace any +Def gems with +Stam. -In fact, I would replace any gem that is not at least a +12 Stam with a Solid Star...but I like Stam...a lot. -Get a Gyro Balanced Khorium Destroyer crafted. Put a Stam or Hit gem in it. -Can't comment on weapon/shield, but Mongoose and +18 Stam are fan favorites. Bottom line, yeah you could probably tank ZA, but upping your health pool will make your healers' jobs a lot easier. PS-BoJ Belt, neck, and cloak would help you a lot. And some tanking boots.

They removed Defiance, so instead of having to spend points for extra threat generation you will have it inherent to Defensive Stance. Defiance gives you 15%(with 3 points) and Defensive Stance a threat multiplier of 1.3x the threat of your attack. With Defiance a Warrior in Def Stance has a 1.15x threat multiplier. I haven't decided if this is a buff, nerf, or meh. Someone smarter than me needs to crunch the numbers. My gut feeling is that the threat multiplier will be the same in WotLK Def Stance as a 3/3 Defiance Stance specced Warrior in Def Stance. If this is the case then it's great for Arms/Fury Tanking, not to shabby for prot warriors(since it will free up 3 points). IF the 45% is additive, and makes the inherent threat multiplier in Def Stance 1.45x, then it is a very nice buff for Prot and still great for Arms/Fury tanking. I'll probably search for some more info tomorrow while I'm at work.

I have no clue what this game is about, but I like it already.

The link for One goes to The Way it Ends....but very nice skills dude. Editted because I fail at spelling today.

I vote for Loletica's mom.

-Warriors: No one cares about Revenge Ranks 1-5

Just another reason my WoW sound has been turned off for 2 years. Unnghhhh I can't do that. Unnnghhh Not enough rage. Unnnghhh

Y'all are still alive on that stupid island?? I figured by the time I got back from California the mutated strains of STDs I left with Letica would have wiped everyone out.

Get in my van!!! I haz kandiez 4 u!!! HBD
