Ginvited, closing app.

Every Raging dpser started somewhere
Dragon — Thu, 08/20/2009 - 14:25Howdy howdy, I've already ran with you in instances a few times so now lets knock out what and where we can improve things outside instances.
The first thing we are gonna work on here is your reputation with Knights of the Ebon Blade. This is the faction that you need to raise to revered in order to get your helm enchanted.
1. You are currently sitting at 42 completed quests in Icecrown. By now you should have, or be close to unlocking the Shadow Vault. This is where you will be able to buy all your Reputation stuff with the Ebon Hold vendors. First thing to buy will be there tabard so you can get that rep up faster. Also of note is that by the time you have "unlocked" (gotten most of icecrown phased) icecrown you should have 6 Ebon Blade quests that you can repeat every day for rep.
2. The second thing we need to work on is your Sons of Hodir rep. This is where you will be able to get enchants for your shoulders throughout this expansion. At honored (which you are already) you can get the first enchant. However exalted is what you are aiming for here. By the time you hit revered with these guys you will also be able to do approx 6 dailies per day. You should have 4 and possibly 5 right now. There is also a nice quest chain with them that continues after you unlock the dailies for more rep. And you can get items called Relics of Ulduar that you can turn in for rep.
3. Thankfully they have made gearing up easier of late, so while you are working on all your faction rep in heroics. You should be able to pick up and buy rather nice gear from 5mans and badges. You are looking for either 2h weapon drop out of H ToC mainly atm. This will yield a nice dps increase. Also keep on the lookout for shoulders and a cloak that aren't tanking. If I remember correctly (I'm at work) there is a nice cloak you can buy from badges.
4. Enchants: You have no enchants atm on your gear. Enchants help out your warrior a lot, since as your gear improves (and gets enchatened and gemmed) you will find rage to be less and less of an issue while dpsing.
5. Gems: Most of your regular gems atm you want will be strength of some sort. Red sockets aim for a strength gem (Bold). Yellow sockets you want to aim for Str/Crit gems (inscribed). Blue sockets you will mostly ignore and fill with strength. You want the 21 agi/3% more crit meta gem and use a Nightmare Tear in order to fulfill your socket bonus with it.
6a. Spec: The spec you want for Arms should be this please also note the glyphs that are with it. Ask Jayel if he can help you out. Or Starstalker.
6b. Spec (Prot) : This should be your protection spec here. I picked those glyphs mainly to help you with threat atm as most dps you run with in guild should kill it before you have to worry too much about mitigation.
Anyway I'm in a hurry to leave work so I will have to wrap this up here. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask me in game on Intercepter.

Thanks for the info
Johanoros — Fri, 08/21/2009 - 00:49You have given me alot of info that I need to assimilate. I appreciate you putting it in laymans terms, still alot I don't yet know. Now that I know how to gather the addons and knowing what they do, my UI is getting some much needed improvements. I will focus on getting more rep and finishing the quests I need. Funny thing is I have been holding on to all the Relics of Ulduar that I have come across, couldn't bring myself to use them at the vendor that give you beverages. Thanks again for the help.
Bump. This guy is cool IRL,
garreth — Thu, 08/20/2009 - 11:56Bump. This guy is cool IRL, but needs a lot of work on his Warrior. Would love some warrior feedback from Noboru, Intercepter, Judge, Keisjaa.
This is Star's bvrother in
Shihli — Thu, 08/20/2009 - 12:00This is Star's bvrother in law. Family. Something something
Yarp. Still needs some
garreth — Thu, 08/20/2009 - 12:08Yarp. Still needs some schoolin' in the ways of the warrior though. Apps are always a great opportunity to learn a lot about your class from a lot of people. Probably one of the only times a lot of people can give you feedback in one location.
my first peice of advice is
Grasen — Wed, 08/19/2009 - 14:11my first peice of advice is to stop playing in windowed mode,
Benefits of Windowed mode
Ardea — Thu, 08/20/2009 - 07:56Benefits of Windowed mode (and duel screen):
1. Watch movies while farming... trash... bosses... or when you don't want to hear vent.
2. Easy way to see who is talking in vent.
3. Watch movies...
I love playing in Window mode. ;)
Playing in windowed mode is
Ghli — Thu, 08/20/2009 - 08:05Playing in windowed mode is fine..... just don't hit the maximize button for wow. It leads to people to start whining about screwed up resolutions. ("OMG why are you playing in a resolution that is stretched")
Huzzah!
starstalker — Tue, 08/18/2009 - 21:43This is my brother in law. Please be kind. He's a good guy, so give a little extra consideration for this one.
Thanks!
I will negotiate an auto
Aidin — Thu, 08/20/2009 - 09:21I will negotiate an auto invite on your behalf if you share lots and lots of embarrassing Sam stories with us!!!
If he's your brother in law,
Shihli — Tue, 08/18/2009 - 22:13If he's your brother in law, automatic denied!
