yeah, i knew what u meant. i'd still roll a mage for that. very frustrated with both the shadow priest and resto druid atm.

good combat rogues can farm on par if not even better than mages depending on farming target.

the bonus of barely taking dmg while killing things under 10 seconds and the ability to do the same thing but aoe'ing 3-6 or more mobs every 2 mins via BF and combination of arush/evasion every 5mins is just too golden.

i roll a new charather because i still a newbie in this game ... i thought the spell that i learn from the rogue trainer is my talent now my warrior reached level 10 only i realise that talent is other system in the game ><" can't blame anyone so now palying warrior hehe. Hey anyone realise that the latency for the wow is very low and the game went very smooth ? my ip is 60.xxx i get 100 ~ 200 latency very nice you know .. but not yet try 219.xxx ping yet .. is the game itself which maintance already not lag or my ping which make me not lag anyone feel that ?

lagmyx decided to get its shit together until god knows when they decide to let it drop again

are you playing from a cybercafe with a dedicate IP?

with u only put 60.x.x.x, u're saying that it's in Malaysia. goto the second set of numbers (e.g. 60.52).

latency is up and down. if u're on oceanic servers, it's usually 5-8 pm our time is peak time so latency will shoot up more then. it's worst during weekends compared to weekdays. weekdays are bearable. weekends are bad.

plus, never really like the rogue or the melee classes actually. casters are more me.

i have a secretive mage alt

While mages do farm better (I rolled one just for farming), there's something abt rogues that I like, such as their solo skills and independence. Imagine stealthing in and soloing Lord Cobrahn in WC just for 'Leggings of the Fang'. No need to roll for it with huntards and druids rolling on it too. And while mages do have an escape mechanism in Frost Nova and Blink, there's nothing like clicking on Vanish when someone's about to gank u while u're busy engaged with a mob.

aiya, now really feeling like rolling a rogue.

too many alts!! >.<

nop i'm not playing in a cyber cafe i'm playing at home using 1mb streamyx shock package yesterday when my router get 60.xx.xxx ip i play wow won't lag at all now trying using 219.xxx ping see if lag or not -.- i though you guys also have the same feeling ... or is my ip which is playing with me not sure ..

certain slow IPs are still able to get fast pings. that includes problematic ones of the 60.52, 60.51 ranges. 60.49 seems fast from people's reports but there's just too many factors governing latency impact.

say if u try to get into one of the older US servers, your latency can shoot up pretty higher. Oceanic servers only opened up mid-2006 so they generally are faster than the US servers (unless it's a recently opened realm).

when making claims on how fast your line is, post up your server and time you play, as well as more details of your IP range.

wat is streamyx shock package?

in bangsar, only 218.208 is playable 350-450ms most times

60.x -unplayable 2k+ms
219.x - unplayable 3k+
218.111 - okish...900ms-1.2kms

my guild's tank clocked 200 apm when he told us to go all out dps. apparently he should still do better he says and needs more improvement. TPS generated by him at that moment was 800+. then again if our pings were as smooth as the americans, i bet it he wouldn't have to go through so much pain...

i'm assuming apm = aggro per min? and TPS = threat per sec? and where does he get that info from? character page or an addon?

sorry, not so familiar with some of the WoW terminology, even up to today.

apm = action per minute, its a benchmark for professional starcraft/warcraft players in terms of micromanagement levels. for wow, it would mean more of button mashing.

TPS = threat per second correct, it could be measured with KTM (klh threat meter)
apm would require a different addon, or a 3rd party program to chart ur action inputs, and process it in relation to time.

hmm....then sets84, what is the addon that your tank is using for APM?

is there anyway we could get 50~60 latency ? is there any way we could do that?

no way unless you move to US

even singapore or europe also cant no matter how good their isp are

maybe future technology or dedicated millitary/high end corporate lines or direct satelite connection could achieve.

Q is rite. although some aussies i know have been getting 100 ms at best but that's about it.

having said that US players sometimes will also hit 300 ms.

cool . . . . since gameflier in taiwan bought WOW and launch their own server i wonder how long will GAYFLIER SDN BHD will launch ?
