Just cleared faction champions on 25 TOC :smile: Probably my favorite boss fight, its so hectic and crazy :shock:

[hide=1. Megan Fox][/hide] [hide=2. Kari Byron][/hide] [hide=3. Hayden Panettiere][/hide] [hide=4. Angelina Jolie][/hide] [hide=5. Jennifer Aniston][/hide] I'd say the last 2 I just kind of threw in there because I couldn't think of anything atm. If I think of something better I'll edit ;) And tell me Megan Fox isn't hot in that first pic. Ya. That's what I thought :D

I've been running ToC for the past week now, trying to get the edge of ruin axe, but with no luck. Finally, today it drops, along with a lot of other awesome loot... And I lost the rolls on all of them to a stupid ret pally. All of the below items dropped, and they're all very nice upgrades from what I have, and they all went to a ret pally. FML. (I'm an unholy DK btw) http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47565 http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47502 http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47493

Wow. You guys must love playing Nazi Zombies on COD5. :P

Is anyone good with add-ons? I'm trying to get x-perl unit frames (mainly just for the cool looking frames), but when I installed it I got 50 errors, and my unit frame is gray with just a health and mana bar (no numbers, nothing. And I'm a dk, I don't even use mana). [hide=pic of errors and stuff][/hide] I'm trying to make a UI... sort of. If anyone is good with addons, or good with making UI's... I need help :shock: Also if anyone could reccomend me just some cool addons in general. I want to find a good casting bar addon, and one that helps with buffs (preferably just timing them so I remember to put them back on...)

Is anyone else experiencing some massive server lag? Last night it took like 3-4 minutes to create an auction. Anything like selling stuff to vendors/getting mail took forever -.-. And then whenever I logged out/logged back in, the loading bar would fill, then just sit there for like 5 minutes. Pretty annoying when I'm trying to get mounts on all my lvl 20+ chars.

I see your 4 youtube videos and raise you 1. 1.) 2.)then this 3.) 4.)then some of this 5.) If you couldn't tell, I'm a big sailor and cyclist. The last two just look crazy. :P

I just saw Coldplay, on the Viva La Vida tour. I don't really like coldplay that much, but the show was amazing (A friend of mine had an extra lawn ticket that he sold me for 30 bucks). The lights and everything were completely out of this world. On the song "Yellow", they released all these huge yellow ballons into the crowd, which was awesome, and they had confetti and everything. It was just amazingly choreographed. We were on the lawn which was way in the back of the stadium (it was like an amphitheater kind of arrangement), and a couple of my other friends had seats up closer, which they were bragging about. Then, about halfway through the show, the band gets off stage, and then they emerge like 30 seconds later, on the little walkway before the lawn and then they walked up onto the lawn onto this little circular stage which was right near us. Basically everyone on the lawn sprinted to it (as did I), and when I got there we were 11 rows back from them. They di like 3 songs up there, it was awesome. They even did a cover of "Billy Jean". So ya, my friends wanted to kill me. it was fun. ;) Without a doubt the best performance I've ever seen. If you don't like Coldplay, but have a chance to see them, do it. You will not regret it.

Well, if they used alching, they'd probably have around 10 hp (60 magic and 10 hp is 32 combat)... Which is an extremely easy 1 hit kill for most pures, especially obby maulers. I don't really see the point of that, they'd be killed pretty much instantly. I'm sure there are a lot of people with corrupt weapons and they are definitely a threat. However I'm assuming they're a lot more expensive than a maul, although they do the same amount of damage. But, I'd choose the maulers high hp and lower cost over high cost for a corrupt weapon and lower hp. As for the summoning tanks... They're interesting. They have quite substantial survivability, but not too much ko-ing power. (except for the chinchompa one, thats pretty good). They seem very very expensive though, so thats a bit of a drawback. And also I'm assuming they don't get too many fights, most pures don't fight tanks as a general rule (especially obby maulers). The DFS one didn't really have much to do with summoning (a lot of the time it looked like he didn't even have a familiar out), but thats the only plausible way to tank imo (using the DFS to ko). If you really want to shell out 25m or whatever for a DFS, then go for it, but thats not for me :P. Like I've said before, theres different types of pkers, and I'm not saying that obby maulers are necessarily the best (although I like them quite a bit). It really depends on your style of pking. If you like having good ko-ing power, then obby maulers are good. If you like fast, small hits, then a pure ranger is good. If you like consistent medium damage, a regular 40 attack pure is good. If you like being able to survive a ton of people attacking you, then a tank.

Well I quit RS a little while ago, and I've never even seen/heard of a summoning tank before, so I don't really know how to address that. As far as corrupt pvp weapons go, at lower levels they're probably going to be doing about the same amount of damage (or maybe a little less) as a maul will, because with attack the player will have much lower strength. They are quite a bit faster though, and more accurate so they definitely do have an advantage. However its not like you run into those in every fight, and they're quite expensive (a bit too expensive for most low level pkers I'd say.) Mage pures aren't really a problem tbh. 80 mage and all 1 combat stats is 56 combat (assuming they trained mage with combat, which would give them 68 hp). 56 combat is quite a ways away from a regular obby maulers 32-33 combat. At 34 combat, a mage would have around 50 magic and 39 hp. I don't really know much about mages but I don't think they're going to be doing much damage at 50 magic. Most of the things that you named are quite a bit higher level than the standard 32-33ish combat level obby pure. I've said before that obby pures really don't do too well at higher levels when you get into granite mauls, ddses, and people with defense. That said, at a higher level, many obby maulers choose to get 20 attack for the corrupt weapons, get 50 attack for the granite maul, or get defense and become an obby tank. Or just turn into a ddser. Obby maulers' are best at low levels.

How much did you play? :shock: you must be really tired :P 10/10, amazing.

I need some help with my death knight, http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dalvengyr&n=Excitement I can't figure it out, about a month ago, back when I had no pvp gear or anything, and the only epics I had were [bleep]ed titansteel helm and the titansteel destroyer, I was getting like 2.3-2.5k dps. Now, with 2 pvp items, a lot more epics, the mirror of truth trinket, and an upgraded sigil, I'm struggling to get 2k dps. I was always unholy, and I haven't changed my talents around at all. So does anyone have any ideas on talents? I would like to stay unholy, so if anyone has a good unholy dps spec that'd be sweet. Eventually I plan on getting dual spec for tanking, but thats a while in the future. Also any suggested gear I should be shooting for would be great as well. And another thing, I was in a heroic the other day, and it occured to me that I never really use unholy presence, I've always used blood presence. Which is better? Unholy is 15% faster, but blood is 15% more damage. Also with my talents, my runes cooldown 10% faster in UH presence. I was also wondering about pvp gear. I was talking with some rl friends and they were saying that pvp gear is awful for pve. Is it really that bad? Should I be trying to get different gear to replace the pvp gear that I have now? Hopefully someone can help :D

This is really amazing for me. I'm a huge sailor (I teach sailing at a local maritime school where I've been sailing at since I was around 8. I race 420 dinghy's for my high school sailing team, and I go to loads of regattas in the summer), and this is basically the mount everest of the sailing world. The Volvo Ocean Race (Sailing race around the world on 70 foot yachts that are probably the most technologically advanced sailboats on the planet. However there's a crew. Awesome vid) made a stop in Boston, which is very close to where I live, so I went to see them a couple times during their 2 week visit. I got to see them leave, which was probably one of the coolest experiences of my life, seeing 6 (maybe 7, I don't remember) 70 foot boats starting at a starting line about 50 feet away from me. But this is just crazy. I would kill to go on the Volvo Ocean Race, but I'm not sure if I'd want to go around alone, although the boats are really cool.

I saw this vid and just felt like I had to post it. [hide=][yt]lqCyTM1bF6Q[/yt][/hide] It's Simon O'brien, a flatland BMX rider. I actually found the video because I was looking for the song (amazing song btw, the name is in title). When I started to watch it I was just amazed. Some of it is really insane, like around 2:40. Any fan of biking should check this out, its absolutely ridiculous.

This is true. To be honest, I've never gotten a mauler past 70 strength, it's just hell to train. Most maulers just switch to a granite mauler when they get past 70 strength or so. But if you stick with it until 90-99 strength, its pretty crazy.

Wouldn't these commonly-used pking items go up in price? If you can't protect items anymore then more are going to be disappearing from deaths, causing the price to go up. ...Right?

I agree. Why would you make your car fast and powerful when theres basically no need for it, unless you actually race or something... which I doubt. I'd just make it look and sound cool. :D

I used to think that music on the radio was the actual band playing somewhere. I also remember going to a hockey game, and they played a beatles song for a bit (one of the only bands I knew at the time), and I started freaking out, trying to figure out where they were in the stadium. :lol: I also never understood how TV works. Like, how it goes through the cables and how it actually makes a picture... Well, to be totally honest, I still have no idea how it works. Or any kind of screen for that matter. :?

Very well said. Finally someone who agrees with me. :D

Wrong. 13 prayer would probably increase damage by 2-3, maybe 4. and 31 prayer would probably increase it by 3-4, maybe 5. According to Tipit's max hit calc... At 60 strength, max hit = 27. With Superhuman strength, max hit = 29. With Ultimate Strength, max hit = 30. At 1 attack 60 strength and 1 defense, you're 32 combat. With 13 prayer = 33 combat With 31 prayer = 35 combat. So basically you're getting 2 more damage for a combat level, and then another 1 damage for 2 combat levels. It's not really worth it, in my opinion, because keeping your combat low as an obby mauler is very nice, and 1-2 more damage isn't really going to affect you that much. Sorry that I said "you can still only hit 27's", don't know why I put that there, I guess I just wasn't thinking.

I agree, his riding style is very interesting to watch. And I have the Kranked 6 DVD, 'tis awesome :D. I like how you can hear his breathing in that video lol, puts it into perspective how much he's concentrating and all.

I (am learning to) ride bicycle trials (For those of you that don't know, its a bit like BMX, but slower, more precise, and more about jumping onto/off of obstacles). I have an old Monty (one of the first bike trials companies) which I picked up used off of craigslist for 50 bucks :). Then I found it had a crack in the fork and had to spend about 200 bucks getting a new fork and getting it all repaired, not to mention having it in the shop for about 3 weeks because the fork was actually the wrong size because the bike is so old. Theres 24" (stock) or 20" (mod or modified) bikes. I have a 24", which looks a bit like a mountain bike. Mod bikes look like an odd BMX bike. I'll try to get a pic of it. For those that don't know what a trials bike looks like, heres an adamant stock trials bike (imo one of the best trials bikes around). [hide=Adamant Trials Bike][/hide] As you can see the most obvious trait is that it doesn't have a seat. This allows for a lot easier movement when doing pedal kicks, hopping, and is easier to balance. A lot of trials bikes don't have any seat, or have a very small one (my bike has a tiny hard plastic thats about 4 inches long). And just because I think they're awesome, heres some of my favorite trials videos. Danny Macaskill- He has more of a faster and more flowing style of riding than most trials riders, and is heavily BMX influenced I would say. 3:10 is insane :shock: Ryan Leech- Probably my biggest motivation to start trials riding, and my favorite rider. In my opinion, hes probably the best trials rider out there at the moment. He is a lot more of a "classic" trials rider, going slow and balancing a lot. As of now, I'm mostly just hopping around. I can side hop up/down a couple staircases near where I live, and I can side-drop off of about a 3-4 foot ledge (parallel to the ledge, then hopping to the side off of it). 'Tis good fun :)

XP given from waterfall: 13,750 attack and 13750 strength XP from level 60 to 61: 25,856 Assuming your 60 attack, waterfall won't give you any extra attack levels. You even have 12,106 more xp after you complete waterfall until lvl 61, which gives you room if you trained attack a bit by accident. As far as strength, you should always have your strength maxed and if it levels you, then just go max it for your combat level (just use tipit's calc). Shouldn't be that hard to figure out if it will mess up your stats or not, and if you want ghostly robes on your pure you might as well just do desert treasure, it really is nice to have on a pure.

Umm, I didn't dodge the question at all. I said that I'm not going to get evidence because the only way I could would be to go make a pure and test it out myself (which there is no way in hell I'm doing). And you keep giving me [cabbage] for not providing evidence, but you haven't provided a single peice of evidence yourself. Ok. Your opinion, go for it, and good luck getting a pker down to 15 hp so you can have a chance to ko them. Alright whatever, I just read it wrong. And for the ranged, I was just using the stats that you gave me in the previous post. my bad. Alright, you clearly just don't get it. OBVIOUSLY I'm not counting on the poison. OBVIOUSLY I'm not sitting there counting down the seconds until the poison hits. I'm just saying, for example, they're at 28 hp (perfectly safe from a maul hit so they just keep going), and then a poison hits for 6. Now, most people just aren't going to react quick enough, and most are just going to try to get 1 more hit in and then eat. Or, if they're those "safing is for idiots" people, then they just won't eat because they think they're cool. Anyways, instantly its down to 22 hp, and you have a good chance of a ko. (Of course you're assuming that you're going to hit 0's every time, so in your case I suppose not.) And what is this "claiming how accurate and high damage range you can do"? If you have 45+ ranged, you'll probably be doing pretty decent damage with ranged. Sure, you're not hitting constant 10's, but constant 3-5 hits is certainly not uncommon. Answer: Not to mention you just said that "defense decreases the chance to hit". Then you say that having "a low defense, does not, in any way, make it easier for you to hit. It simply does not make it harder". Kind of contradicting yourself there, eh? Also seems like your just pulling this out of your head, I've never heard anyone say this. Ya, you never said that, but you certainly implied that a lot of people at lvl 30 are balanced, which isn't very true at all. And ya, if you don't get the ko then its not like you'll just kill them the next hit. The thing is though, they eat back up to 25 hp, thinking they can just get a couple more hits on you and then quickly eat again, and then either a dagger/ranged hit or maybe even some recoil damage hits them and they're back into the "ko zone" where you can kill them. 1 miss is not a "failed kill". You think that AGS'ers just fight then do a spec and then leave because their spec failed or something? obviously not, they will have plenty of other chances. I would love to. I seriously hardly ever find many players with defense when I'm pking at around lvl 30. I also said that 10-20% of pkers are balanced later on, I was just using 1/20 as an example. Ok... That's not the point. The point is he's getting kills left and right! You say that obby maulers can't get any kills, but that sure looks like a hell of a lot of kills, and also a hell of a lot of pures being killed. Well when you come onto my thread and start flaming me saying that obby maulers are basically useless, one would kind of assume that you hate maulers. You gave 2 stats (both basically wrong, hitpoints way off, and a balanced pker which no obby mauler in their right mind would ever fight), and besides that I see nothing about weapons at all, and no scenarios. I posted a hell of a lot more about weapons (crush attack/slash attack and max hits), accurate stats (srry for the little confusion on those recent stats, I must have just read the calculator wrong), and many scenarios about poison etc. And your posts have also been all theoretical and outright lying, so stop trying to pull that card on me. Look, I'm done with this. If you really want to continue this pm me, and I'd rather you don't fill up my thread with flames. The best advice I can give you is to just go make an obby mauler yourself (probably not going to happen based on what you've said), and try it out. You will find that a lot of the things you have been saying about obby maulers are very untrue. And this is a guide. No ones telling you that you have to make a mauler, this is just out there for people to try. If you really feel so against them, then you might as well just leave. They are a certain type of pure, and obviously there are some pro's and some con's.
