Continuum,

You get downrated because you reply to the first post with an irrelevant issue just so your reply will show up at the top of the page. "Trolling" isn't exactly the right word for it, but it's damn close anyway.

Next time, make your own post or reply to a post describing the problem you're having instead of leeching off of another poster like you did here. Oh, and also, don't act all innocent and surprised when you get called out for your asshattery, as if you didn't know beforehand what you were doing... :D

And just FYI, Euro realms are still down for maintenance so I am unable to verify wether there's a problem with rogue poison sound effects or not.

First thing?
Run straight to Breanni's petshop and pick up that cute li'l kitten and snake, of course!

...What else could I possibly want to do?

Good point, mate. With all the schweet shadow buffs I'm really looking forward to playing my priest again.

I just wish Blizzard would buff group heals for my other spec as well; discipline. Healing some of the heroics is a pain in disco because of the group damage being thrown around; Loken and Paletress are just two such examples.

Surely there must be an internal cooldown of some sort, or else druid healers would be awash in mana. Just throw HoTs all around the raid, and never ever run dry... That would be rather overpowered, I think...! ;)

Actually, I believe this trinket only returns mana when you CAST the spell, so that's a whopping 11 mana discount on each heal. Surely a very "meh" type of effect.

I also wonder why Blizzard hates spirit-using classes these days. There's not a single weapon or off-hand item with spirit on it of an ilvl above 200 dropping from any boss in any 5-man. Why is that?! It makes me really annoyed! I've been carrying around that blasted dragon staff whatsitscalled from heroic Oculus on my tree druid for well over half a year now simply because there isn't anything better (with spirit on it) dropping to replace it with...!

Regardless how awesome guide dogs and whatnot golden retrievers make, there ARE better causes for charity money.

In the event you demand to know what that might be, I'd suggest for example a save the rainforest foundation, or any number of other worthy causes that stand a chance of having an actual impact on the future of this planet.

Old Rickroll-trick is old, but at least it wasn't Tubgirl I was blindly linked to...

Why would blizzard employees risk their jobs to leak to some 2-bit site nobody's ever heard of? Stop lying, please. Nobody believes you anyway. Admit that all you're doing is fishing for more ad impressions from gullible people clicking your linkspam.

As soon as the video starts the entire video area is covered by a fucking advertisement, making it impossible to see what's going on. Closing the ad with the tiny cross icon button doesn't remove it.

Go back to youtube, joystiq. At least their video player works properly.

Perhaps they should simply re-tool Age of Conan into a single-player adventure/exploration RPG instead. They've done all the art for it already, all they need to do is structure the gameplay a bit differently and change the quest/leveling system to be less grindy and more centered around a central plot instead.

There's certainly enough Conan lore around to create a suitably epic storyline, and I'm willing to wager also enough gamers out there willing to experience some decent Conan hack-and-slash as long as you don't have to pay 10 bucks or whatever every month.

Companies today are so hung up on creating subscription-based MMOs, it's like they think there's infinite amounts of people out there willing to shell out every month for the exact same game, when in fact most see that as rather similar to a ripoff. (Says the WoW player since 2005.......) Subscription MMOs don't automatically make you loaded with money, in fact most MMOs languish in their small niche of the market (Ultima Online, the Everquests, City of Heroes/Villains etc) or even outright lose money.

Torchlight is much more than just an unashamed ripoff of both Diablo and WoW, it's so close to an amalgamation of both games it borders on straight plagiarism. Town portal scrolls, pets, fishing, unidentified random magic items (keeping WoW's green < blue quality), yellow exclamation marks over quest givers, round minimap in top-right corner, skill names and abilities... Just tons of design elements ripped straight out of either game. There's even extremely WoW kobold-like mobs early on in Torchlight.

It's a decent game, though the skill trees seem rather disjointed and not very well organised or interesting, or at least not for the amazon ripoff class. I haven't had time to check out the others yet. There's no real 'whoah!' type skill in any of the trees, and like with WoW (and to some extent Diablo) it's hard to know exactly what stat benefits your class the most - unless you read a guide on the internet.

Should I put a lot of points into strength as an amazon ripoff? Agility seems to be my primary stat, but lots of armor and weapon items require tons of strength, forcing me to spread myself thin and limit my customization options. What about defense, how much of that do I really NEED? No idea!

Oh well, at least the game is pretty cheap, so it should be good value for money despite whatever complaints someone like me might have. :D
