Re: Soloying Lady Vashj
I would like to echo the suggestion of making a /tar taint macro - makes the fight a lot easier If you're going to let the Elementals buff Vash'j til she takes up the whole screen, create a /tar coilfang macro as well. Other tips: Beware of Lightning Shield (Shamans), Blink Strikes (Hunters), and P...

Re: Quick and Dirty Primer to Raiding With Leashes II
Pro Tips for Vash'j as a Hunter: 1) Don't choose Blink Strikes, or if you do, put pet on passive. If the pet kills the tainted elemental before you can you will not be able to loot it. 2) Choose Spirit Bond. FOR THE LOVE OF KHAZ CHOOSE SPIRIT BOND. That 2% regen outpaces the damage you're taking by ...

Re: Chess Event Strategy in One JPG
Ok, I guess the question then becomes: do you want the Queen to jump pieces? I've been thinking about the extended strat's failure, and I think I've determined why. The following is speculation for the most part but it seems "true" to me. Let's ignore our own strategy for a second, and let's talk ab...

Re: Chess Event Strategy in One JPG
I've started bringing out the queen's pawn so I can move her if Medivh gets her when she cheats. It's not necessary to move the queen's pawn out in order for her to move from fire. The queen is the most mobile of all the pieces, she has a range of 3 or 4 squares she can move. If she ends up in fire...

Re: Chess Event Strategy in One JPG
The alternate strategy isn't as reliable as the original strat. The Queen can take extra damage and goes down faster as a result. I've started bringing out the queen's pawn so I can move her if Medivh gets her when she cheats. One time I had all my non-pawn pieces up and he was down to just the king.

Re: Quick and Dirty Primer to Raiding With Leashes II
Oh man, the damn Vasij encounter gets on my nerv. It would be no problem to beat it, if the friggin tainted elemtels could be looted all the time, but no, 3 of 4 bug out on me and tada, here we start again. Damn it, Blizzard should at least be able to make an encounter from two addons ago bugfree. ...

Re: Tiny Carp Values?
The realms I'm on have them at right around the 10k mark, but there's been so few I'm not sure people know what to sell them for. I honestly don't think it's worth buying one for more than 2k, and I'm more inclined to fish in the daily berserk spawn spot regardless of potential carp color and trade ...

Re: Double-dipping Pro Pet cheevs using stones - still in ga
No, not if you only want to level all your pets to 25. In what way is one level 25 better than two? Ever? And I'm not presuming an "infinite stable". Does anyone spend stones on wild pets? A waste. I'm presuming that people farm for their wild rares, that's all. Even spending a little longer to lev...

Re: Double-dipping Pro Pet cheevs using stones - still in ga
EDIT: I don't think people were understanding what you mean, Chrth. It's not wasting your time if you already intended to level the pet. More bang for your buck! I think "people" understood perfectly. There's no point in levelling the same pet to 25 twice, when there are a huge number of other pets...

Re: Question on "Luck"
We know nothing about the so-called "Bad Luck Protection." I'm of the ever firmer opinion that there's nothing implemented. I have a feeling they just increased drop rates across the board by a tiny percentage, and told us we were getting "streak protection." Think about it... It's a buff you can't...

Re: Chess Event Strategy in One JPG
I also noticed that the knight can move two spaces in a straight line. Update on new strat: Seems to work nicely. The first time I failed was because I was so happy to see the queen wasn't in fire that I failed to notice the rook was. The second time, I screwed up and moved the king when I meant to ...

Re: Chess Event Strategy in One JPG
I'm confused... in the chess event, can the rook move diagonally? Because in normal chess, the rook can only move straight (either straight forward or side to side). Medivh's version of chess does not conform to the rules of our world's. As far as I know, every piece can only move to one adjacent s...

Re: Chess Event Strategy in One JPG
An alternate strat I'm going to try later since it appears he doesn't cheat as fast as he used to: 1. Move out King's Pawn (as normal) 2. Move the queen out two spaces in zig-zag (so she ends up in front of her pawn) 3. Continue with strat as normal Getting the queen out may mean earlier damage on t...

Re: Chess Event Strategy in One JPG
A variant worked for me. Took me two attempts to realize I had to do it backwards because I'm horde. I'm not a smart man sometimes. The picture is from the Alliance perspective, but the notes should work for either side (as it indicates King side or Queen side) Tried this several times, no luck. 1 ...

Chess was nerfed this morning with a hotfix this morning. Karazhan Chess Event: Increased the delay between moves for enemy chess pieces. Yep. As I said in the OP, I don't know if the nerf last night makes another strategy more viable. The main thing this strat does is help with Medivh cheating, an...

Re: Chess Event Strategy in One JPG
Thanks a lot. Went in and one-shot it with this tactic, even though I lost a rook to Medivh's cheating :D You will always lose pieces; that can't be helped. The original iteration of this strategy only had one rook out - and the reality is you can win with only one rook out - but getting both out h...
