I would consider making a different blog for Warhammer content rather than alienating your WoW viewers. I really have no interest in Warhammer and just look to your blog for solid pally content. I can skip the Warhammer entries easily enough - you are kind enough to have "Warhammer" displayed in bold letters in the post titles about that content.<BR/><BR/>In the end, it's your blog - post what you want.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09909405037765950185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-86269435519286576472008-10-07T06:17:00.000-07:002008-10-07T06:17:00.000-07:00It wasn't a threat Tobold, I was expressing my opi...It wasn't a threat Tobold, I was expressing my opinion, which, this being a blog, is what people do.

My main problem with them and other such buffs is that the length of time.<BR/><BR/>It's not so bad with the greater blessings but with seals say - why not just have the length of a seal to be 15 or even 30 minutes? In pvp it can be dispelled, but in pve you're constantly having to re-cast which is just a boring chore - and the game is meant to be fun.<BR/><BR/>Ditto other short term buffs like the warrior buff shouts (ok, I can see why this is only 2 mins - I'm more talking about self only buffs here)<BR/><BR/>Perhaps there's a big reason in raids why the 2 min seal system works, but I can't see it...<BR/><BR/>There's still too much 'routine' in the game where Blizzard should more be cutting down on the work and adding more fun abilities and mini-buffs.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14725941085022729574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-58867286387641386552008-10-06T21:28:00.000-07:002008-10-06T21:28:00.000-07:00@anonymous previous posterPally blessings can be a...@anonymous previous poster<BR/>Pally blessings can be a pita, but we solved it in our guild by assigning one pally (me) to handle them. I already know what each of our pallies are specced (imp BoM, BoW etc) and sort the raid out accordingly. We usually run with ~3-4 pallies so lots of buffs. The easiest technique I've found is to assign the pally tank Salv/Sanc, one person does all kings, I do might/wisdom, and if we have another pally they do light. Just remember to keep salv of the pets, and only assign a pet blessing to a pally who knows to do a 10 min.<BR/><BR/>As long as one person handles the blessing assignments and everyone else leaves them alone (/rw Who keeps giving the tank salv?!!!) Then blessings are a breeze.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-75630011548622235392008-10-06T17:26:00.000-07:002008-10-06T17:26:00.000-07:00well that sucks about holy. On of our holy pallies...well that sucks about holy. On of our holy pallies is really bored + says he'll quit wow - or quit holy pally - if things dont change. Cant quite believe that blizz are screwing up and entire spec, but the consensus seems unanimous :(<BR/><BR/>Tell me one thing: you dont thinik blessings are being removed or fixed? By "fixed", I mean they are the one thing about every raid I've been in that simply WASTES EVERYONES TIME. I have never met a bunch of pallies who can get the buffs right. To begin with I thought the pallies were all noobs - but it continues to be the case with good people. Do you think blessings are just too complex for people? Sure, my raids all have pally power - and it dont seem to help one bit. These days, I go in with wrong buffs, rather than waste more time, on yet another wipe, asking for the right ones all over again from the same people all over again... and again... and again... <BR/><BR/>Fair enough if ppl want to unsubscribe - not much point reading a blog about a game you dont play (is there?). I wont read a blog about war but no biggie. I took it quite personally when bloggers I like "went off the rails" as far as I was concerned. Then I just learned to chill, unsubscribed, and left the person alone to write about what they like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-61508994101787159862008-10-06T12:47:00.000-07:002008-10-06T12:47:00.000-07:00The -20% damage nerf to seals didn't affect SoR, s...The -20% damage nerf to seals didn't affect SoR, so Holy DPS/leveling shouldn't be affected by special attacks proccing seals or not... <BR/><BR/>It does make SoC lack-luster to a Holy build, however.

Rogues are a dime-a-dozen).<BR/><BR/>I'm just not prepared to try another MMO until I see the final results of the WoW patch and expansion, hence I've been feeling a little 'out in the cold' with all your WAR news.<BR/><BR/>But keep the news coming, whichever game it happens to be :) I really enjoy your writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-14479070822934255012008-10-06T05:07:00.000-07:002008-10-06T05:07:00.000-07:00If you are going to unsubscribe from a blog just b...If you are going to unsubscribe from a blog just because the blogger is talking about the newest and greatest game, then I think you need to reconsider what makes you read this blog to begin with.
