Fixing the Chain Disconnecting

Posted 03/29/09 at 6:10 PM by Cadfael
This is a copy of a forum post from the Benefactors Bar. While I granted everyone who asked the right to copy it out to their own guild's forum, it was finally asked to release it in blog form so that it becomes available for everyone. So here it is:


As threatened after last Sartharion, here's the thread to fix all your problems once and for all. At least, that's the goal. Chain disconnecting is a huge problem and it's one that doesn't magically go away. It's also not something...

Elemental: Patch 3.1

Patch 3.1 is finally here, and with it more bosses, more items, and more changes. The question is (or at least the one that I will address here) how does this affect Elemental Shaman? As per usual, I shall be covering this from a PvE perspective, as I have little interest in (or skill with) PvP. I'll cover talent builds, glyphs, and a few general gearing issues. There will be a short re-cap at the end.

Firstly, talents. We didn't see many changes to talents this time around, mostly...

General: Your framework picks don't matter. Really. Like, at all. Which framework a power is in is only relevant until you hit level 26, after which you have access to every power in the game. For reference, here's a table for how early you have access to powers, depending on whether you've been focusing on its framework:

Sitting here bored, I suppose I'll preach to no one about what makes new guilds successful, or at least what I would want in an ideal world. At the heart of every successful raiding guild there is a core. A core made of steel and spikes that can only be destroyed by a black hole. The synergy between your core members and the diversity will ultimately decide the fate of the guild. Either you stand the test of time, or it all breaks down. In a modern 25-man raiding guild, a group of 10 key people...

My Warcraft "career" (if you want to call it that) has been a slow and meandering trek from complete ignorance of the intracacies of Warcraft to an awakening on the mechanics of the game to a useful and experienced player. I have never been in a major guild and haven't ever had the opportunity for organized raiding. I'm certain opinions will vary but I imagine that raiding with an organized and well structured guild is generally more productive and perhaps more enjoyable than what I do. What I do...
