My ISP had an outage and I was sure I lost my 44 rogue because I was mid combat when the outage occurred, but somehow, miraculously, an hour later and I'm still alive. I was wondering if you keep attacking after disconnecting or if some kind stranger helped me out.

I was wondering if for example advanced target dummies are less likely to taunt a level 45 monster than a masterwork target dummy, and I was also wondering if an iron grenade has the same chance of being resisted as a thorium grenade.

My group had a great first two phases of Magtheridon, but somehow we lost our tank with the boss at 200k health. I waited till the boss was targeting the last melee above me in threat and cast evasion, so as soon as the other melee died I pulled the boss to the wall and tanked him for the ~10 seconds it took for us to finish him off. Evasion worked much better than I thought it would, because he didn't land a hit on me the whole time. What a rush!

Just curious how everyone is paying for their raiding consumes. I'm a rogue so I buy 4 flasks a week, some health potions, haste potions, and scrolls of agi. Costs about 400 a week, so I do about 10 mana tombs stealth runs to pay for it.

I get really irritable easily, and when I'm irritable I'm a jerk to everyone around me. I'm sick of it, and I know everyone around me is sick of it. But when I say to myself "ok enough is enough" and resolve to change, I still behave the same when irritated.

I decided I was going to do a solo challenge, so no grouping at all. I didn't realize that means I'm sort of out of quests my level before reaching tanaris/hinterlands/feralas; most quests in my log are orange at this point.

Would anyone know of any good grinding spots that feature mobs in the 37-40 range? Most guides recommend rock elementals in badlands, but it's very busy there due to people questing. I liked the tortoises in dustwallow (36-37), but I was hesitant to grind two levels out there because alliance need them for a quest.

I had sepsis a little while ago, and I usually tell people who ask that I'm lucky to be alive. I want to sound grateful, because I am, but I wonder if it comes across as overly dramatic.

I specified 41 because at that level you can talent into both blessing of sanctuary and consecrate, which I'm pretty sure lets you kill 2-3 things at once. I was wondering how this stacks up against leveling as retribution like the guides suggest and killing one thing at a time.

All the guides talk about 2h enhance being fast for leveling. I tried two similar level blue weapons, a lvl 35 2h axe and a lvl 33 1h axe with shield. The difference in safety and comfort was staggering. I can comfortably take on 2-3 mobs a few levels below me at level 39 with the 1h + shield (and kill a few in a row without stopping), but with the 2h it seems like a race to the death for both of us, regardless of who I fight. Using rockbiter with the 1h and windfury with the 2h.

With the 2h, every now and then I delete the mob in one glorious triple crit, but most of the time I end up low health and having to heal. Even with rockbiter on the 2h, the shield was way better. Just wondering if that matches all of your experience or if maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I was reading the composer of the score for the movie Black Panther talking about developing the "musical vocabulary" of a film alongside the director. But I'm a little confused by what they mean by vocabulary here. By metaphor that seems to imply that film scores have a language, but what they specifically mean by that is beyond me.

I forgot I was a horde warrior - thought I was on my alliance alt, and ran right into alliance alterac valley guards and prospector stonehewer. Dazed immediately and a guaranteed death if not for the advanced target dummy.

And they're not just great defense, they're great for offense too. I can comfortably pull 3-4 even on a rogue if I want to use a dummy (up to 5 with sap).

In the Voyager episode Warhead (Season 5, episode 25), the crew beams an artificial intelligence on board that turns out to be a sentient superweapon. It takes over the holographic doctor's program and uses it to make demands to the crew to finish its mission - to destroy its enemy. The engineer on board the ship was able to convince the missile that the war for which it was launched was over, and then the missile heroically sacrifices itself by destroying a fleet of similar incoming missiles who refuse to believe that the war is over. and chose to ignore the self-terminate command (actually they were past the fail-safe point, my mistake)

So my question is what reason could anyone have for giving missiles personality and sentience? It seems like a recipe for disaster.
