Divine Spirit
Amenn — Tue, 06/24/2008 - 13:38
I've been thinking about Improve Divine Spirit and how valuable that is to the raid, versus the value of Circle of Healing. My opinion is, given LF1M's current raid setup, circle of healing far outweighs the value of Divine Spirit, but I wanted to open the topic for discussion.
When it comes to healing in a raid there are basically three healing tasks: Tank Healing, Healing random burst raid damage, and healing raid-wide damage.
Tank healing is self explanatory, dropping big heals on Grov. Paladins and Druids are the kings of this, but Priests are decent at it. Greater Heal is fairly mana efficient, heals for a reasonable amount, and when properly pre-cast is generally an effective healing tool. Priests are much more latency susceptible than a Druid or FoL paladin (and roughly equally latency susceptible as the big heal paladins) performing the same roll, but they're certainly adequate.
Random burst raid damage is the situation in which a random target in the raid takes a sudden burst of damage and needs to be rapidly healed up. Rage Winterchill's ice bolt is a good example of this. Paladins are probably the best at this, with FoL, but Priests also shine here with Flash Heal (which, given the new mana regen model is viable) and the accidental bounces of a shaman's chain heal are very effective here.

FIOS and WoW Performance
garreth — Mon, 06/23/2008 - 14:44
I'm considering switching to FIOS. I'm at the point in WoW where the only things I can possibly do to improve my performance are 1)hardware upgrades and 2) Internet upgrades.
Currently, on Comcast, I'm at 300+ latency during the evenings. I'd like to get this as low as possible and was wondering if anyone has any experience with Verizon FIOS. Hit me with some numbers like max download rate and, more importantly, WoW latency.
My Journey through Idiocracy
Gares of War — Mon, 06/23/2008 - 12:21
Occasionally, I like to go out, walk, and reflect. Typically, I go to public places, and on my sojourns I come across people of great ignorance, ASTOUNDING stupidity. I am not unfamiliar with such people and situations. I worked for Target Stores during highschool as well as through half my undergraduate studies. I have seen the essence of stupid; might even say I found a large cache of motes of stupid that can be combined for primal stupid. I have often wondered if the movie, Idiocracy, was far off.
Since my computer is down, I went out yesterday for exercise and sight seeing, well something other than Dr. Who and Ninja Warrior. I saw post graduating high schoolers at least who did not fully understand the "I before E except after C". Now, I tried to dismiss the larger guy, he obvious had too much going with dressing up as the highlander and talking about how his newest First Person Shooter was just like using a real rifle. But it pained me that such a simple rule was lost on them, I mean it is a rule that explains WHAT YOU DO! They later discussed how their teachers couldn't describe it to them and could not give them examples. I facepalmed after that.
How to grind rep with the Derchlon faction:
Derchlon — Sun, 06/22/2008 - 01:43
Alright so its late, its been an interesting day for me, and I'm not entirely coherent right now. That means this is the perfect time to give all of you a good way to grind your way to Exalted status with Derchlon. This is just an on the fly list of things I like, and conversation topics that I relish.
1. Baseball. I enjoy people who can discuss the inner strategy of a 3-1 ground ball to shortstop, and why the hitter got fooled by the high heat again when it was the last two pitches thrown. Common phrases from these people include "I just said that! These announcers should give me their job," and "I knew they should have benched that guy earlier" Also, trash talking Bill Bavasi with an intelligent reason is worth bonus rep.
2. Misa Campo. She happens to be one of the most attractive women I've ever seen. Way back before I got involved in WoW, I was labeled as "The guy who really likes Misa Campo" on a message board I was on. I pretty much pushed her image on the site before she was as known as she is now, and now she's decently popular. Chances are if you've heard of her before, thank me for it. She's best known for her picture in the green shirt with the sprite logo. Have fun on Google Images ;).
3. Hypothetical situations. These can't just be simple "what if we replaced a mage with a boomkin?" kind of questions, they need to have more meaning, and likewise, consequences. A good example is as follows: Two girls love you very much, but you only love one of those girls in return. However, if you choose to be with the one you love, the other is banished and tortured for eternity, but if you pick the one you don't love, you can never see the one you DID love ever again. So, which do you choose?
4. Quoting from movies in common conversations. This is self explanatory. If its from a movie, and its in the conversation, done deal.
