Videos

Making videos, for an unlearned person such as myself, can be a long process. I'm not always happy with the video I take, or sometimes even when I re-take it. I'm working on recording separately then laying an audio track on top of it while doing some editing throughout as well. With my first Assassination guide I gave instructions as I performed them, which wasn't as fluid as I may have wanted but it turned out alright.

I have to learn the video editing and audio track laying or these long delays will continue for each video. That being said there will be a video soon, and more following it in a more timely manner. Not every post in the future will be videos mind you, but there should be more than one per month.

I recent redid my UI then scrapped it entirely (thanks Ed! hater). I ended up going back to what I had with x-perl UI, and very few other mods, then I added grid and class timers (mostly for aly, gets rough in the air to monitor everything). In the end it looks much better and I have a much higher area of visibility, which is helpful. The UI fixes are a bit of why I've been reconstructing my videos for the combat guide as well.

LUI which I got rid of a day after using can be seen here:

I'll have to show you my new/reverted (then modified) UI later on as the servers are down and I haven't taken a screenshot of it yet.

I have a large amount of requests for specific videos, and some I would like to do for myself also. The next two coming will be Combat and Subtlety guides more than likely; followed by some bosses from a zone I have not decided on yet.

Stick with me, I'll become consistent soon. Thanks for reading.

Mastering the two step

Well I might be on the ground dead, but so is Ryolith. Got him on heroic finally last night. The previous night of work on him we had an attempt at 5% but just couldn't finish. Definitely a combat fight, and while we're on the topic of combat...I'm making a video for intro and rotation, I just need to verify a few things.

Sorry there has been a gap in posting, I'm going to try to keep this blog posting at least once every 2-3 days it has just been crazy busy irl and in game.

Thanks for reading.

wthaste?!

I was fumbling through my screenshots recently and saw I had taken one of a haste bug with the chicken and windfury. It didn't apply the actual haste, or it wasn't noticeable anyway. The buff, or bug, what have you. It didn't last very long and it reset my haste rating on the character sheet properly back to ~23% at the time.

I did find it funny though.

I will be doing intro vids to comb and sub soon. I will also be trying to discuss some raid strats for rogues specifically on reg/heroic for FL and otherwise. Old content is only old to those of us who don't do it anymore :)

Rag down!

Well this isn't as much an informational rogue post as it is for the guild I'm in. Don't fret! There are rogue tidbits in here.

Something Wicked US-Whisperwind dropped Rag on Sunday night making them the first 25 man on the server to do so, and currently ranks US 235 on Wow Progress. Quite impressive for a 3 night a week guild whose last raid day is Sunday, it was very enjoyable. Good job all.

I didn't FRAPS the kill unfortunately and we'll be working on heroics in the upcoming week so I'm not sure what regs I'll get the chance to fraps in the near future from a rogue PoV.

Rag is pretty simple as a rogue, there aren't as many things you need to watch for. Casters have a slightly tougher job with more movement needed and more abilities to be careful of (lava walls and traps for instance). Even though casters have a bit more to be wary of, depending on how your RL sets you up location wise, rogues are primarily attacking from the front, which as you know is unfun, especially as an assassination rogue. If you're lucky (or as your group gains experience in the fight) you may be setup so that you are behind the boss enough to not be constantly parried/dodged and can backstab -35%. When that happens, go you.

I sat for day 2 (alysrazor/bale & some work on stag). I had a friend coming over to consult on my deck structure stability so I had to be afk a bit, and couldn't be trouble by slowing the raid so I sat. I was there for 5 of the 7 kills this week though. Even though I wasn't there for the actual kill I think my favorite so far would be Alysrazor. If you execute that fight correctly it is super fun and easy to churn out some amazing dps. Personally I fell a bunch our first night (once we were allowed in the air that is) but I started to get the hang of it and it became quite fun.

It is a bit early in FL to judge, and these are only reg fights, but so far on logs it seems Assassination and Combat are rotating on peak performance per fight. Generally the two specs are fairly close.

Edit: Links fixed.
