00:46.19Kane_HartI wish there was a simple php site / script or something where I can just list my friends onto one page
00:46.34Kane_Hartjust to keep tabs on them and also share it with them to keep tabs of our circle of friends

01:00.40DemetriousKane_Hart: Notepad or TextEdit can do that and more.
01:02.11Kane_HartI don't know if you are being an asshat or not but clearly I would want the latest info about their characters and such. More of a web page grabs data
01:03.12DemetriousI did not associate friends with WoW specifically.
01:03.26DemetriousI thought your request was simpler.

01:04.29Stormscape>want the latest info about their characters
01:04.30Kane_Hartahh sorry yeah I wanted something a bit more :( Like WoWhead has a character list but for your characters only. Be cool to make a public list where you add your friends and share a link to keep track their progress
01:04.32StormscapeStalker Level 9000
01:05.02Kane_Hartand playing a online video game level of no life 9001+ ;)
01:05.17DemetriousI see. Sounds like a good idea though. Send the request to Wowhead head honcho!
01:05.42sygnous|mbpdamn, I haven't looked at the talents system in a long time

Hansen could not be calmed down. This resulted in sending the player off the ice and into the dressing room in order to prevent any further escalation."

22:48.14Amarandehrm.
22:48.29Amarandewould I be right to blame transmog for the horrendous, mind-crushingly high prices of any bags above 16 slots lately?
22:51.34kuinkittyNot sure, I'm just happy I finally received my Bulwark of Azzinoth
22:54.56AmarandeBasically on Ysera Alliance it's going ... 10-35g for Netherweave, then all the way up to 170g for 18 slot, then 300g for 20 slot, then 350-450 for 22 slot, and of course the expected 3000g or so for 26 slot
22:55.11AmarandeI'm wondering if Xmog is to blame for the 18 and 20 slot bags being so much more expensive than expected
22:55.28AmarandeI remember 18 slot especially used to be far, far cheaper
22:55.49kuinkittyI have some welfare 18/20 slot bags from quests and crap, Im happy with them :D
22:56.43AmarandeThe chief thing that occurs to me is this:
22:56.54AmarandeNo bag larger than 16 slots can be made without using some form of IMBUED, not regular cloth
22:57.21Amarande(maybe 22 slot embersilk? not 100% sure if that one is imbued embersilk too, but I definitely recall that frostweave bags don't come in a non-imbued version)
22:57.34Amarandetherefore, the cloth requires enchant mats to make ...
22:58.23*** join/#wowhead VCH (~chatzilla@ool-18be7852.dyn.optonline.net)
22:58.41kuinkittyNot sure if I stopped caring after wotlk or not
22:58.47Amarandegah
22:58.53Amarandeyup, I suspect my gut feeling is right :(
22:58.58Amarandeenchant mats seem to be awfully expensive lately too
22:59.15Amarandewhich I am imagining because the greens market got completely ... transmogrified
22:59.39Eraclitoi want the matching belt and boots for my tier :(
22:59.41AmarandeGreens with good xmog looks are going for premium prices, meanwhile fewer greens without good xmog looks are even being sold
23:00.24AmarandeAnd meanwhile you level through BC more rapidly than ever, and you don't spend as much time in LK instances as you did pre cata
23:01.12kuinkittyI want the damn gutrog bloodbloil staff for my priest
23:01.29kuinkittyOnly thing that matters in this game right now is that damn staff
23:03.15Eraclitomy memory tells it's the priest tier 5 matching one
23:03.27kuinkittyYour memory is brilliant
23:03.41AmarandeI didn't know weapons had tiers :)
23:03.43Eraclitoyou have the matching belt and boots, right? :3 i spank people not transmogging the right belt
23:03.55Eraclitosome tier 5 weapons had matching weapons in hyjal/bt
23:04.04Amarandeheh, my desired xmog box still isn't perfect
23:04.13Amarandeyou wouldn't happen to know if there's a crimson cloth belt around that's moggable?
23:04.32kuinkittyI dont have the belt, everything else is all white and angelic
23:04.42Eraclitommh the tier 5 mage one is kinda red
23:05.02Amarandelolyay I found talasite
23:05.03Eraclitohttp://www.wowhead.com/item=30038
23:05.17Amarandethe one cuttable gem that's been vendor trash ever since it was new pretty much :P
23:05.50Amarandeone thing I've been pretty much aware of since BC. green (colour, not quality) gems seem to always, always suck :|
23:06.19Amarandethere even a single PvE build now for which green-coloured gems are correct?
23:06.34kuinkittyTanks, in some cases
23:06.39kuinkittymastery/stamina gem
23:09.02Eraclitoi wish wowhead profiler would show the transmogged gear
23:09.02kuinkittyOther than those rare cases, they are still rubbish
23:09.12Eraclito(well kinda off topic)
23:09.42Amarandeah, right, stamina is blue
23:09.47Eraclito(the only place i have all my characters linked is wowhead and well i'm too lazy to make a list somewhere else)
23:09.52kuinkittyStill, Bulwark of Azzinoth, f'ck yeah
23:10.16Amarandeit occurred to me that green has to always, always suck because of two main things, neither of which blizz seems interested in fixing
23:10.27Amarande1) that ALL the primary stats are on red gems now (well except for stamina for tanks)
23:10.32kuinkittyIt's "working as intented"
23:10.43Amarande2) they keep ACCELERATING rather than putting the breaks on ratings decay
23:11.17kuinkittyWell, they can't even fix Madness of Deathwing
23:11.20Amarandewhich has got to the point where literally, with the *possible* exception of hit on DPS builds (and even then only if you can't get capped any other way yet), it's never correct to gem for something other than your class/role's primary stat
23:11.24Eraclitowe need a new gem system, i've been telling that since wotlk. when they moved hit to blue it was a step, but we need more
23:12.00kuinkittyWe need pink gems
23:12.03AmarandeAnd yellow is *only* nonhit ratings (stamina, spirit, and hit are all blue), so it's about as useless as the piss it's the colour of :|
23:13.02AmarandeBack in the day, you used to have to actually think about whether you should gem for something other than your primary stat or hit rating
23:13.27Amarandebut that was also back when ratings actually mattered beyond "well, this item is so and so ilvl so you're getting X points of useful ratings on it assuming the item is right for your role"
23:13.33kuinkittyLike shamans? haste. gemming done.
23:13.38kuinkitty(resto)
23:13.47Amarandenot int or spirit?
23:13.54kuinkittyno int gems back then
23:14.15Amarandeof course, now it's all int or maybe spirit for healers
23:14.17Eraclitowell back in wotlk it was kinda the same. tank? STA! caster? INT!
23:14.24Eraclitowell, spellpower
23:14.28kuinkittyyep
23:14.30Eraclitoeverything else was crap
23:14.42Eraclitoin cata they added *good* socket bonuses
23:14.48Amarandethat's because LK was the first round of ratings really starting to become irrelevant to bother actively bothering with (except for hit as necessary, and perhaps avoidance on tanks)
23:14.55StormscapeFor priests, gemming is still the same as in Wrath
23:14.59Stormscapeshadow priests that is
23:15.10StormscapeRed? INT Yellow? HASTE/INT? Blue? INT
23:15.12Amarandeeven in LK, a primary stat point was worth twice as much as any rating point
23:15.26Amarandein Cata I think the weights now are greater than 3:1 between primary and any rating of any sort?
23:15.29kuinkittyAnd now my shaman has to gem the damn int
23:15.42StormscapeThe bonus has to be stupidly good for me to consider putting anything other than a Brilliant Inferno Ruby in a blue socket
23:16.00Eraclitoexactly
23:16.03AmarandeI'm expecting that the weight imbalance is going to be 5:1 or greater by MoP
23:16.15*** join/#wowhead DevilStick (~DevilStic@cpe-065-190-078-115.nc.res.rr.com)
23:16.19Eraclitoi really think they should change something
23:16.22Eraclitolike the glyphs
23:16.26Eraclitothey should remove the main stats
23:16.31Eraclitothey're too mandatory
23:16.34kuinkittyI expect everything will be fucked in MoP
23:16.40Eraclito(for the gems, of course)
23:16.47Amarandeheh, they are changing the glyphs
23:16.49StormscapeHaste is actually nearly 1:1 for shadow until the first breakpoint
23:16.55Stormscapethen it drastically reduces in importance
23:16.56Eraclitolet gems increase secondary stats only
23:16.58Amarandewhich is why I didn't go herbs/inscription on this mage like I did on my last mage on the other server
23:17.14Stormscapeand in Mists mastery is ridiculously OP
23:17.18AmarandeI'm waiting for MoP to be out so the glyph dust will settle
23:17.24kuinkittyAlso I think my GPU is breaking
23:17.31Stormscapekuin why do you say that
23:17.33StormscapeAlso hi kuin
23:17.45AmarandeStorm: heh, I wonder if that's a disgruntled developer decision
23:18.00Amarandemastery was cata's "yay here you go have a new super awesome stat" stat
23:18.00kuinkittySometimes it starts drawing gibberish pixels under heavy load and HAI!
23:18.18Stormscapeyeah for shadow mastery was totally worthless until you got 30% haste
23:18.21Amarande... and yet, it got ignored like all the other secondary stats, in fact some builds didn't even really benefit much at all from their masteries
23:18.21Stormscapethen it became a god stat
23:18.40Stormscapeand for ret any mastery = you're a terrible player
23:19.22AmarandeOf course, if you really wanted to simplify it you could just have PvE Defence and PvE Power stats. :P
23:19.32AmarandeAnd be like PvP players have been for like ... ever since BC :P
23:19.44StormscapeFuck that
23:19.50AmarandeI'm glad they're revamping resil, it means something other than a single stat might actually matter in PvP
23:19.53Stormscapehalf the fun is balancing stats
23:19.54kuinkittyAlso fuck PVP
23:20.03StormscapeAgreed
23:20.09Amarandesince from BC through Cata, nothing else has mattered. ilvl, other stats, anything. it's all "how much resil do you have?"
23:20.13StormscapeI hate PvP so much I'm leaving my guild and server transferring for Mists
23:20.16StormscapeI'm going to Stormrage
23:20.19kuinkittyBring the class, not the player
23:20.42StormscapeToo bad symbiosis is so powerful everybody will be forced to bring a minimum of 2 druids for every raid
23:20.53AmarandeI'm still wondering what was wrong with vanilla pvp that they had to go to the resil system
23:21.02kuinkittyRogues
23:21.04StormscapeAmarande, whoever attacked first won
23:21.05Stormscapeperiod
23:21.10kuinkittyAnd warriors
23:21.13StormscapeIt was Nuclear Arms Race PvP
23:21.24Amarande"let's make it all about healing and outlasting and things that would be fun in, say, chess, but not in a fast-paced PvP game" :P
23:21.41StormscapeThere was no survivability in Vanilla PvP
23:21.49Stormscapesince everybody was in raid gear that had like, 20 stamina on it
23:21.55AmarandeThen they did things like replace resistance to CC and root effects with merely being able to reduce their duration (unless you're a beast master hunter)
23:21.58kuinkittyAlso what was wrong in Vanilla was, that no matter how fucking shadow specced you are, you are a priest, you'll heal
23:22.15Stormscapekuin any good guild brought 1 shadow priest to debuff the boss for the warlocks
23:22.20Amarandekuinkitty: apparently that was the case for all four classes that were capable of healing
23:22.37Stormscapeshamans could tank until UBRS
23:23.10kuinkittyThe point was that not all specs were viable enough imo
23:23.18AmarandeConsider say paladins ... Tankadin didn't really get seen as viable until BC (when it rose to "godlike" status)
23:23.31AmarandeRet didn't really get any good until Lich King, hence the "retardin" epithet
23:23.39StormscapeNo, it was "lolret"
23:23.43kuinkittyThat still applies
23:23.55kuinkittySame goes to hunters and DPS warriors
23:23.56Amarandewell
23:23.58Stormscapepaladin tanks in TBC were still only good for some fights
23:24.03kuinkittyTUNNEL VISION!!111oneone
23:24.04StormscapeLike, a warrior was still your MT by far
23:24.07Amarandenow it's not so much the matter of ret being bad
23:24.14AmarandeI haven't heard it to actually be bad for a long time now
23:24.25Amarandeit's more the matter of ... you're playing one of the two classes in the game that can do tank, heal, and DPS roles
23:24.33Amarandeyou could get instant queues and lots more raid slots by choosing tank or heal
23:24.35StormscapeI automatically assume a ret pally is a terrible player until he proves otherwise
23:24.37AmarandeWHY ARE YOU CHOOSING THE DPS ROLE?
23:24.57kuinkittyStormscape ^5
23:25.00StormscapeAmarande, I play a class with 2 heal trees and yet I only DPS for the past 6 years.
23:25.33AmarandeI'm still waiting to see the whole encouraging more tanks and healers thing to backfire royally in MoP as the raid finder gets more important
23:25.48kuinkittyRaid finder, bitch please
23:25.55Amarandeand we get casters grousing loudly about CtA because it's left them barely ever getting spell haste buffs
23:25.55kuinkittyGive back unnerfed Sunwell
23:26.08Stormscapekuin so did you hear about the change made to Mind Control
23:26.15StormscapeI can MC anything that's not a mechanical
23:26.21Stormscapeeven CRITTERS
23:26.25kuinkittyROFL
23:26.29Amarandedue to the fact that all the specs with the spell haste buff are DPS specs on classes that can also heal (who will be increasingly pushed to heal by Blizzard nudging them with rewards for "the less popular roles")
23:26.33kuinkittyCritters, wat
23:26.41StormscapeYUP LOL
23:26.50kuinkittyyou srs?
23:26.52Stormscapeand mages get a glyph that lets them polymorph unlimited amount of critters
23:26.57Stormscapeand the critter polymorphs last 1 day
23:27.00Amarandeso, what can you do as a squirrel? :)
23:27.10kuinkittyGnaw pinecones?
23:27.17Stormscapemelee for 1 damage
23:27.35kuinkittyLol
23:27.48StormscapeAmarande, you forget there's people like me
23:27.53StormscapeI've been a priest for 6 years
23:27.55Stormscapeshadow for all 6 years
23:28.05StormscapeI've never even cast a heal in a raid
23:28.12Amarandeyeah, shadow priests may be the main exception
23:28.16AmarandeI'm trying to remember what the other two were
23:28.37StormscapeNot to mention shadow has literally INFINITE mana in Mists right now
23:28.43Stormscapedue to every VT tick restoring 2% of maximum mana
23:28.51kuinkittyWAT
23:28.55StormscapeYUP LOL
23:29.05Stormscapemy mana bar might as well be an infinity symbol
23:29.07Amarandeellie shamans (not sure how likely they are to be pushed to resto, nor how often they even exist nowadays, seeing that I'm alliance and we perhaps have fewer of 'em)
23:29.09kuinkittyjesus have mercy on my soul, 2% _maximum_
23:29.24Amarandeand boomkin
23:29.34StormscapeYeah at 85 it ticks for 2k mana
23:29.34Amarandebut really, how many boomkin do we expect to see anymore
23:29.35kuinkittyAmarande, they do exist, and they kick ass
23:29.45Amarandeespecially since druids can both tank AND heal, and tanks get even more incentives than healers do
23:29.45StormscapeI see lots of elemental shamans and balance druids
23:29.52Stormscapeelemental is actually ridiculously OP in DS
23:30.01Amarande(in fact, I think I've sometimes seen more healers bitch about CtA than DPS do ... heh)
23:30.02kuinkittyEvery nab is elemental because CL has no CD
23:30.12StormscapeWe have an elemental shaman who rapes the meters on Yor'sahj any time there's more than 1 wave of adds
23:30.48Amarandeactually, the healers probably have a better reason to complain about CtA than the DPS
23:30.55kuinkittyCan't recall who raped who in my last raid, I slept all the way through 8/8 HC
23:31.21Stormscapemy GM gives out gold awards for the top DPS on every DS encounter except for Spine
23:31.26Amarandeit was never intended to benefit the DPS, so complaining about it is sour grapes apart from the fact (which might be worth rectifying, although it would be the most colossally major class balance change ever) that four classes can't do anything but the DPS role
23:31.44Amarandeit was, on the other hand, seen as a bone thrown for both healers and tanks, and the healer has plenty of extra responsibility in a run too
23:32.01StormscapeI don't even know how to heal
23:32.02kuinkittyYeah, I have 2 skills to use
23:32.02Stormscapelololol
23:32.39kuinkittyIn bc and wotlk I only had 1 !
23:32.52Amarandebut healers are feeling gypped because in actual practise CtA virtually always goes to the tank, not even the healer
23:32.55StormscapeI feel like symbiosis is gonna be stupidly OP for a druid tank to give to the other tank in raids
23:33.20Stormscapegive to DK? get bone shield. Consecration from pallies. spell reflect from warriors.
23:33.24Amarandeheh, my LK raid guild will be happy with that
23:33.33Amarandethey've always run really druid-heavy, and will probably feel like Blizzard loves druids more again
23:33.33Stormscapeelusive brew from monks
23:33.46StormscapeIt'll be worthless to give to anybody not a tank though
23:33.50kuinkittyDruids need a serious anal rape
23:34.00kuinkittyTho, they were THE shit in vanilla
23:34.02AmarandeI remember when 4.0 came out and almost half the raid (yeah we really did often have as many as four druids a week in ICC) grumbled because of battle rez being put on shared CD
23:34.27Amarandeand not only that, but shared with soulstone activations too
23:34.50StormscapeIt was a needed change, you shouldn't half-wipe and be able to rez all 15 dead people
23:34.55Stormscapeand keep going
23:34.59kuinkitty^
23:35.09Amarandewhat, you don't think raids should be able to come back from the brink?
23:35.18Amarandeonly either do swimmingly from start to finish or fail colossally?
23:35.19kuinkittyThere's a better way to handle that problem
23:35.27kuinkittyDon't fuck up - no need to Rebirth
23:35.32StormscapeIf half your raid is dead you've already wiped
23:35.33Amarandein most games, it's not over till it's over
23:36.09kuinkittyIt's over when a fat bear sings
23:36.10Amarandein WoW, there seems to be a strong favorance for the idea that you shouldn't be able to mess up and come back from the brink, you should either do Olympic grade execution or not qualify at all
23:36.12StormscapeAmarande, look at DS, there's mechanics designed to instantly wipe you if too many people die.
23:36.50Amarandeyeah, there were some fights like that in LOTRO too
23:37.02StormscapeStomp. the fucking ping pong ball. Ultraxion. onslaught on Warmaster.
23:37.36kuinkittyI like that pingpong ball. I'm the champion
23:37.48StormscapeAlso I'm wondering how they'll nerf Lei Shi for Raid Finder, as even on normal she'd anal a raid finder group with no lube.
23:37.52Amarandein some cases in LOTRO, the boss would actually keep a counter of how many deaths (deaths, not currently-dead raid members - so watch your battle rezzes, even though LOTRO is a lot more liberal with them than present day WoW is!) it's inflicted during the fight, and would literally instakill the whole rest of the raid if the counter reached a given limit
23:38.08kuinkittyOn the other hand, that mount you get from Glory of the Nerfraider, I mean Dragon Soul... Is one fucking ugly mount
23:38.12AmarandeStormscape: maybe eventually they'll just have to take the training wheels off of raid finder
23:38.23Amarandeand eventually have it just give you a random normal raid, much as you get random normal and heroic 5-mans
23:38.31StormscapeHopefully, but she seems like the DPS race to end all DPS races
23:38.42AmarandeStormscape: worse than Brutallus?
23:38.44kuinkittyLol
23:38.55StormscapeHer cast speed increases by 1% for every 1% HP she's missing
23:39.05AmarandeDon't forget that Brutallus wasn't just a brutally tough DPS race
23:39.24kuinkittybrutallus was a brutal anal fister tbh
23:39.29Stormscapeoh and she'll do a vanish phase and to bring her out of vanish you have to hit her with enough AOEs
23:39.44kuinkittyAnd oh yeah he could fist a fistful of raiders
23:39.54Stormscapeas is the boss sounds like a complete and total clusterfuck
23:40.04AmarandeIt was a brutally tough DPS race to the point where you practically had to have BiS everything available up through and including Kalecgos or you just didn't even have the POTENTIAL to beat the timer
23:40.18kuinkittyStormscape, you know  there's a porn movie called "Clusterfuck"?
23:40.22StormscapeI think her abilities give the hint on how to beat her though
23:40.26StormscapeLook at this one
23:40.26Amarandekuinkitty: just one?
23:40.28StormscapeScary Fog   — Sha energy coalesces around several players, inflicting 5000 Shadow damage every 2 sec for 40 sec. In addition, players and enemies near an afflicted player take 5% more damage from all sources. This effect stacks.
23:40.39Stormscapeplayers AND enemies
23:40.41Stormscapeand it stacks
23:40.54kuinkittyAmarande, well, Clusterfuck 1 2 3 etc, you know my point
23:41.03Amarandeheh, 5000 damage?
23:41.06kuinkittyIf it exists, there's porn of it
23:41.06Stormscapeit pretty much sounds like once she reaches 20% HP you got like 40 seconds to kill her
23:41.10Amarandethat's probably a regular hit from a normal questing mob in MoP
23:41.17StormscapeAmarande, not that part
23:41.23Stormscapethe 5% more damage stacking effect part
23:41.32Stormscapegive her a massive damage taken debuff
23:41.40Amarandehow much HP do we have at 90 in raid gear, anyway?
23:41.45Stormscapeprobably 300-400k
23:41.48Amarandeand yeah, don't forget that
23:42.04Stormscapethe thing that makes her insanely hard is she doesn't melee the tank
23:42.06Amarandewe're starting to get character HP levels in a tier that used to belong to raid bosses only back in the day
23:42.07Stormscapeshe casts spells at him
23:42.14Stormscapeand if you're within 3 yards of the tank = instagib
23:42.18Amarandeof course the enemies have to be super powerful, because WE SHALL BE AS GODS
23:42.27kuinkittyAmarande, some bosses had even less
23:42.35StormscapeWe're already raid bosses
23:42.39StormscapeLook at Drakk's HP
23:42.40Amarandeat this rate, by 6.x or 7.x, they're going to have no real choice left but to put us against Sargeras himself
23:42.50Stormscape91.5k HP
23:42.56Amarandethere just won't be any other Warcraft lore beings strong enough to actually have a chance against ten raid geared players :P
23:42.56StormscapeI have more HP than Drakk.
23:43.28Stormscape>10 mans
23:43.29Stormscape<PROTECTED>
23:43.52AmarandeI wonder how long they're going to be able to keep this power ramp up going before they run out of things to put us up against :)
23:44.03Stormscapefor a long ass time
23:44.11AmarandeI have sometimes joked that, when they finally run out of challenges to give us, when they finally can't figure out any more
23:44.24kuinkittyThey run out of ideas years ago
23:44.38Amarandethey'll put at the end of their last raid one final aspect of the silly that WoW can sometimes have, as a means of making sure no one can ever say they've finished all the content and there's nothing left
23:44.40kuinkittyI mean like, Pandas, please, what is this shit
23:44.47Amarandeit will come in the form of a ... giant roll of toilet paper.
23:44.56Amarandewhich, of course, will be impossible to defeat. :)
23:44.58StormscapeSo, Inner Sanctum is an awesome talent and I hate myself for not having it a long time ago
23:46.13Amarande(I don't think it needs saying that the joke is that it's a roll of toilet paper because it always, guaranteed, wipes you. :D)
23:46.44Stormscapehttp://www.skytopia.com/project/illusion/didgrow.html WHOA
23:46.45StormscapeWHOA
23:46.48Stormscapethat is awesome
23:47.00JunkHeadI've found in life, that no matter the brand of toilet paper, you throw enough shit at it... shit wins.
23:47.31kuinkittyThat hurt my eyes
23:50.20JunkHeadsigh
23:50.30JunkHeadgoddamn elite packs in act 2 are causing me fits
23:52.01kuinkittyI just got in Act 3 today, that's one fucking big massacre at the start
23:54.20Amarandeevery Diablo had its horrifically hard moments
23:54.35Amarandeis it worse than gloams/dolls in Worldstone or Throne in D2 Hell?
23:55.09Amarandeto compare, in D2 on Hell, if you got the worst possible roll in the Throne of Destruction, what you got was Gloams, Greater Mummies, and Undead Fetishes as the three types of regular mob there
23:55.36AmarandeGloams have lightning bolts that are the stuff of your worst nightmares unless you've maxed out your lightning resist, and preferably have it maxed out with gear that increases the maximum
23:56.06AmarandeUndead Fetishes explode on death for some nasty damage (they're also on the way to Mephisto, and many a Sorceress Meph run is cut short by dying to an exploding doll)
23:56.27AmarandeAnd as for the Greater Mummies, I would rate them worse than Oblivion Knights in that instance because OKs don't do Iron Maiden anymore and Greater Mummies are "Undead Raises Undead"
23:57.04AmarandeFor additional happy, have one boss pack of mobs somewhere on the level with Cursed and the Holy Fire aura, and another with the Fanaticism aura. :)
23:57.09StormscapeSo I came to the sad realisation I've already bought all the JP gear for my mage
23:58.01StormscapeBecause the 378 JP gear is extraordinarily limited in scope
23:58.22Amarandefor those who haven't played D2, only D3:
23:58.43AmarandeHoly Fire is an aura that deals fire damage in pulses regularly, deals very little damage but has absolutely enormous radius
23:58.43StormscapeI played part of Act 1 for D3
23:58.45Stormscapedidn't like the game
23:58.50Stormscaperegretted buying it
23:59.09AmarandeFanaticism is an aura that gives huge boosts to attack and damage for friendlies in its radius, which is also generally rather big at high levels such as from Hell bosses
23:59.47Amarandeand Cursed is a boss mod that causes ANY damage from the boss - I mean ANY, even purely non physical damage - to have a 50% chance to proc the Amplify Damage curse at a level related to the boss's level, checked for all affected targets each time
23:59.52AmarandeAnd by 50% I mean more like 98%.
