1. DK's are trash, I have 3 on my paladin from the STV zepplin days, 0 on my warrior. They single handedly caused some people to quit pvp outright because of an accidental pull which set someone's rank back when getting ranks was signifigantly harder

2. I took the neck, I can understand if you take the ring. I got my neck before the ossirian thing was an option, and I wouldn't change my decision now that it is an option because in my humble opinion (and many will disagree) they are NOT comparable. But then again I was pvping with a myrmidon's signet when I quit.

3. I started the game as a paladin (named armstrong O_O ) in closed beta, I promptly rerolled at level 21 to a warrior and played that till the end of closed beta. The infamous "awesome changes" disgusted me and the paladin on paper was more to my liking, but it was the hardest decision I ever had to make in the game to roll a Paladin for release. I rerolled back to warrior after getting 2 pieces of judgement from molten core on my release paladin (which a lot of people were real bent out of shape about) and played my warrior till I was unable to play the game anymore. Rerolling is hard, but I was infinitley glad that I did end up going back to a warrior at the end of the day. (sorry that one was a bit off topic)

---

4. I'm 20 years old

5. I'm a student at Colorado State

6. I don't play anymore, but when I did it was about 10-40 hours a week, depending on what content was out.

7. As before, I have a 60 Paladin (Anglakel) a 60 Warrior (Armstrong) and a 50 Hunter (Anglikel)

8. My paladin is a pretty serious alt. I raided with him whenever I wanted to, and I've got set bonuses from Lawbringer and Judgement. I used him to farm incindius for a long time for those aces which is why every screenshot of my ui has like 1700 gold. Godspeed little Anglakel.

9. Between Anglakel and Armstrong I have probably 60-65 purples, including a malastar's defender on my warrior and a quel'serrar on my paladin :-(

1) What is your opinion on Dishonorable Kills, good idea or bad one?
I really miss the raucousness of Goon Squad and multiguild city raids. They were always a very fun break from the big 3 waaaay, way back in the day. It's too bad we don't do that anymore because people will cry about their honor.

2) Which is a better choice for a warrior that tanks some of the time and dps' part of the time, Nefarion Neck or Ring?
I took a look, and I don't know enough about warriors to make a good recommendation.

3) Do you like the class you chose to play or would you reroll given the opportunity, if so what class would you reroll?
I love my druid for big raids and I like my mage for PvP and smaller instance groups. I don't think I could or would reroll.

3) How old are you?
22

4) What do you do for a living, i.e. school or work?
Computer engineer outside of Washington DC

5) How much time do you spend playing the game each week?
30 hours or so. So lonely. :(

6) How many 60s do you have and what class or classes are they?
60 druid (main), 60 hunter, 57 mage

7) Do you play any serious alts, if so what are they?
I take the three characters I listed quite seriously. I'm a huge nerd and have all these to do lists for them - gear, factions, trade skills. I play my mage the most now because I'm running out of solo stuff to do on my druid. And this includes every damn resist set. :(

8) How many epics do you have?
49 on my druid, maybe 10 combined on my hunter and mage.

1) I think the whole Honor system is poorly designed. DK's more so than the rest of it.

2) This is mostly an issue of personal preference. Which do you see yourself using more; which do you see yourself replacing sooner, etc.

3) I'm glad I'm playing a Mage, but it's a bit qualified.

As damage classes go, Rogues have the most interesting stuff going on behind their sheer DPS output. I'm a mathematician, and would have fit right in with Wodin and Kalman. I can't say why I wouldn't rather be playing a Rogue, except that the flavor doesn't feel right. My first D&D character was a Wizard; the D2 char I played most was Sorceress, etc.

I find tanking kind of neat, and go out of my way quite a bit to micromanage the tanks in our raids. I've wondered at times whether I would rather play a Warrior as a raid main. The problem there is that, by now, all that I really find interesting about the game itself is coordinating 40-man tactics. And ranged DPS is terribly convenient for leading raids--you can see everything easily, and you generally don't have too much to pay attention to what your character is doing, etc.

As a Mage, I can probably use my char at 90% of his ability while my real attention is used up calling spins on Lethon, or constantly swapping groups around as people die on Vael, or whatever else, and that's important to me. As a main tank, with my view blocked by a giant mob like Chromaggus, I wouldn't even know what ridiculous things people are doing elsewhere in the raid.

Finally, after playing a Mage for a year, I wouldn't be happy playing a class without Teleport and conjuration. I don't like wasting time. For example, I couldn't handle Soul Shard farming, which is the exact opposite of the conveniences that Mages get. Actually, by this point, when I'm logged in to any other character for some reason, I'm mildly disoriented by the lack of Blink.

------------------

3) 22

4) Undergraduate in physics and mathematics. Also, for the moment, working part-time in game development.

5) Too much. 25 hours, maybe. If I cut on pointless things like this, however, and delegated a bit more, I could get by with little playing outside of raid times.

6) Just this one.

7) Could never get interested in alts. I got one up to 41 last summer, and even that completely petered out after a while.

8) Every char slot, many with multiples. Don't feel like logging in or counting mentally right now, but I'll estimate 40 Epics and 1 Legendary.

1.) I have 2500 dishonorable kills. Living in fear of an NPC because it says "Civilian" is dumb. I also dislike the concept behind an NPC you can't kill spawning endless guards.

2.) Nefarian Neck is the best tanking neck in the game. The ring is nice, but it can be replaced more easily than the neck.

3.) Shaman. No I would not reroll.


I am 19 years old.

I am an EMT-b who presently does not work in the EMS industry.

Less than 2 hours of WoW a week, these days.

I have a single level 60 shaman, but about 200 levels of warrior spread across various characters.

My most serious alt is my level 39 warrior Buwbuw. He is a trooper.

I don't know. I stopped counting epics a while ago.

Thank you. Stormrage shoulders have not dropped in months, and when they finally do, I'm sure I will not update my avatar because I am lazy.

Don't know where to stick this, but anyone want a pair of Abyssal Mail Legguards of Restoration for their alt or something? Not really worth selling and it's just sitting around so I figure someone on Horde could use it (no cost).

15 Sta

6 mana / 5 sec

I could probably find a use for them or find someone that can. Unfortunately the next time I log on will probably be saturday.

You mean you don't like the 7/8 Stormrage set bonus?

I have been 5/8 since November. Bracers, shoulders, and chest just are not in our loot tables. On the plus side, the cross-class loot has been flowing in!

edit: Ok, so my avatar isn't 100% accurate. But I hate the way Cenarion looks after having looked at it every day for ... a very long time. I used to wear Green Whelp armor in Ironforge just so I could see my pretty setpieces that are hidden by my ugly dress.

It killed city raiding as mentioned. World pvp compared to battlegrounds is so much more fun, it's a shame really.

2) Which is a better choice for a warrior that tanks some of the time and dps' part of the time, Nefarion Neck or Ring?

Is he that spinning dragon guy?

3) Do you like the class you chose to play or would you reroll given the opportunity, if so what class would you reroll?

I enjoyed playing my warlock a great deal when it was a challenging, underdog type of class. Once they buffed him, everyone made one and I was no longer a unique snowflake, which killed a lot of the fun. I'd probably enjoy playing a priest.

Questions about the player.

3) How old are you? (don't have to answer if you don't want to)
29

4) What do you do for a living, i.e. school or work?

System developer in a great firm that makes marketing resource management solutions :)

5) How much time do you spend playing the game each week?

Zero since I quit, but when I played I used to play 35-50 hours a week on average.

6) How many 60s do you have and what class or classes are they?

3: Warlock, Priest, Warrior.

7) Do you play any serious alts, if so what are they?

I had a level 35 mage as well.

8) How many epics do you have?

Not sure, I can't find myself in the jp system :laugh:

1) Dumb. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb. Then again, my goblin rep got screwed because of a city raid (well, Booty Bay old skool pvp), so I guess it prevents that from happening. Or something.

2) I took the ring, whatever that means. (and that's not I HATE TANKING)

3) Wouldn't give up warriordom for anything, they're the best class in this damn game.

Questions about the player.

3) 22

4) Currently at work as a lab monkey, not working on two projects I have to do for school. So both.

5) Not much lately, but mostly just raids and the occasional instance run, so a couple hours a night.

6) 2: Warrior and Hunter

7) I don't know if I'd call my hunter serious, but he has a few epics, and is an entertaining diversion. I just picked a hunter because I hate classes that use mana (and rogues are gay).

8) 36, and not an epic tanking neck to speak of. I hate you Ossirian!

This post needs more parenthesis.

This game sucks.

1) What is your opinion on Dishonorable Kills, good idea or bad one?
I think its probably one of the worst design decisions Blizzard made in not only the Honor system, but the game itself. As Horde on Mal'Ganis, I had to rely on world pvp (BRM, menethil, silithus) in order to get CP in between 30-60 minute queue times. Accidently killing a civilian and losing a weeks worth of work is fucking stupid.

That being said, I dont really miss huge city raids. They were usually a clusterfuck. I prefer the competition of an even 10v10 Warsong game that can last for an hour or more.

2) Which is a better choice for a warrior that tanks some of the time and dps' part of the time, Nefarion Neck or Ring?
I dont really tank that much, and Ossirian neck is pretty similar. I took the ring.

3) Do you like the class you chose to play or would you reroll given the opportunity, if so what class would you reroll?
Warrior 4 lyfe

Questions about the player.

3) How old are you? (don't have to answer if you don't want to)
20

4) What do you do for a living, i.e. school or work?
Computer Science, UMass Dartmouth

5) How much time do you spend playing the game each week?
Idle in Orgrimmar waiting for a battleground, or actually playing?

6) How many 60s do you have and what class or classes are they?
I don't have an alt that is above level 31.

7) Do you play any serious alts, if so what are they?
No.

8) How many epics do you have?
I'm at work right now so I dont know.

Its obvious from his avatar that DI goes for quality, not quantity when shopping for epics.
