I know it's an old thread, but after reading through it had to comment. I'm currently getting a bit of junk for not being on WOW the last couple weeks. Reason is reading up on brewing (mostly this forum). Addiction-wise, not sure what happens when the unstoppable force meets the unmovable object...
(Horde on Gul'dan, several high lvls)
Homebrewing is what finally broke me of this addictive game.
After 3 years of dedicated play, our guild beat the game before a new expantion was released. Sunwell on farm, nothing new to do. Arena teams getting new seasons gear easily every season.
I wished I had a hobby my wife understood, I tried to look for one. I looked up making whiskey, and it was illegal. Aye, we love the whiskey in these parts. I then figured out homebrewing beer is legal and I asked her if she wanted to learn with me. She accepted and I found this site.
Now she makes beer with me or makes it possible to brew by taking care of a 2 year old who wants nothing more than to pull a pot of boiling wort on his head. I swear, it's his dream in life right now.
The WoW had me hooked, I even baited many o'friends into playing. In the end, the love of the sweet brew saved me from wasteful daily epeen competition and into brewfest competition.
You can beat me in a duel? Pusing buttons isn't that impresive......and just incase it is, I will OWN your **** in Tekken, streetfighter, mortal kombat, and smash brothers. In fact, any fight game where imbalances aren't planned in order to create drama......I will show you a champion.
In case you still play, let me give you the standardization of group markings and it's meanings.
First: Skull, the target with a skull marked need to be blasted down hardcore. Fact is, 3/5 people in the group are retarded and can't CC so make the odds better by blasting down a target in about 3 seconds.
Second: X is always second.....why? Because it has 2 ****ing lines you tard pay attention. Skull first, X second....two lines make an X.....kill the X second. If you are a CC class you are CC'ing the wrong ****ing thing, look for your symbol.
Third: Triangle. Traingle is thirld because it has 3 sides. Tanks, this is your hardest tarteget to maintain because someone is an idiot in every group and pulls aggro. Not to worry, most pulls don't require a triangle.
Fourth: Square. You won't see this often but 4 sides equals a square and equals the fourth person to be killed. Often reserved for when you have a kick ass healer and a tank who can hold aggro and 3 stricly dps classes who know how to rape and not pull aggro. Fact is, when you can burn down a target in 3 secs, your healer should be able to keep you alive for 12 secs no matter what. Bubble, bum rush tank and systematicaly destroy FTW.......if you've never done it, you've never been overgeared.
CC Classes....The symbols are obvious, pay attention.
Moon: Mages, you coun't sheep to go to sleep. Moon means sleep, counting sheep means sleep. You see a moon and you sheep it, it's that simple. After you CC, follow the kill order. BTW, you are hybrid CC/Damage class and not solely a damage class. If you want to be strictly a damage class re-roll a ****ing rogue or a lock. CC, then damge. Your **** ain't that impressive with out CC so make it good and you damage will seem okay. Remember, your damage output is subjective......subjective to you not sucking butt hole and doing your primary **** which it CC.
Diamond: Ah yes, the very rock which strikes fear into the heart of all hetero men. The diamond strikes fear, the warlock also has this same cheese ability. Known as the feta of CC, the **** just stinks. Diminishing return, lulz. Keep your **** feared, it is the first CC we will go after. Heaven knows why you rolled a bot friendly class.....you suck balls and have a hard time paying attention. Just keep it feared, but I swear....if a healer dies because something doesn't stay feared, you are a complete lab rat with a hard on for damage and not skillz.
Condom (the orange circle): Ah yes, the condom. some people call it an orange circle or an orange tiddlywink. We all know it looks like a gold coin. The condom can only mean one thing, a dick move. Of course, the worst dick move in the game is a sap. The orange condom marker shows an enemy will receive the dick move called "sap". Rogues, If you don't have imp sap........****ing die. Don't join my group, your **** sucks anyway and I'd rather have a fear spammer. You are the dick move, you better be able to move and get outta there with out being seen other wise you might as well be a ret pally.
I hope this was helpful to you wow players. Beer is better than button analysis and taking up slack for noobs.
