LF Arena Tips/Help

mainFrame — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:39:43 +0800

well, im seeking for advice on strats when going against certain setups in 2x2 arena..
team setup is me rogue (50/0/11) + priest (43/5/13) on bloodlust bg..
minus the losses to the full s3 teams (eventho thats not a good excuse coz with better play prolly could win) that play around our ratings (1700-1800), we're finding a few setups just hard to go against prolly coz of wrong strat i guess..well, maybe..lol
somehow, most strats sites i can find talks bout shs rogues only...so seeking some advice here if anyone has any tips..wanna break 1800 (always when nearing that wall we keep getting farmed by full s3 teams tho i believe wif better strat we could prolly mebe win) eventho s3 is nearly ending and get better prepared for s4...

nwy, a few that i can think off are..
- mage/rogue : normally its against shs rogue/icy mage..they cc one of us (normally my priest partner) n thats normally goodbye to me..normally i'll try going on the icy mage but being mut spec i'll just get kited a lot (mebe im doing something wrong here)..
- priest/hunter : normally its against dpriest/bm or mm hunter..normally i stick on hunters against most healer/hunter, but somehow against this setup it doesnt work well..will rogue sticking on priest a better option?
- rogue/rogue : very rare atm (but i foresee a lot will appear) both shs normally...sap one of us, back to back blind one of us, then sap again especially against undead where priests scream is useless..i think one of us will just get killed during that duration..

[WTA] GC Related, maybe

mainFrame — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:06:48 +0800

Hi all,
Got a question regarding the GC i just purchased.

Some bit of background regarding my rig setup first. Rig is overall bout 3 to 4 years old. Spec is as below :
- P4 2.4C GHz
- DFI 865PE Infinity motherboard
- 4x 512Mb of Ram (2 pieces are quite new ones)
- 80Gb WD Sata HDD
- Radeon 9600XT GC
- 17" LG LCD monitor running at 1280x1024 resolution (quite new, upgraded from an old CRT monitor)

I used the PC to play WoW mostly, and using the above setup, my video settings for the game are set to its minimal setting so i can get decent fps. I figured that i needed a GC upgrade to get better fps during gameplay so i ended up upgrading my old Radeon 9600XT to Radeon x800GTO in hopes of better fps. How i installed the new GC? I just took out the old one and put in the new one, upgrade the driver (i get the driver from OmegaDrivers) w/o installing the old driver which comes from the same site. Atm, i'm kinda dissappointed coz the Radeon x800GTO doesnt give any noticeable fps upgrade during gameplay .

My question is, is there something holding the x800GTO to perform better for my current rig setup? A friend said that my HDD is holding it back coz it's quite old and most probably is the bottleneck since he claims WoW needs a good performing HDD as well as decent amount of RAM and good GC. I was thinking of formatting my PC first and do a clean install of everything if it does help a lot instead of getting a new HDD, but if it's of minimal help maybe i should get a new HDD.

Anyway, would appreciate any inputs from u guys on this matter. Really would like to get an improved performance in-game from the x800GTO. Thanks in advance.

Question bout Bloodlust/Heroism

mainFrame — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 15:58:07 +0800

Got a question bout the shammies Bloodlust/Heroism ability...

QUOTE

Increases melee, ranged, and spell casting speed by 30% for all party members

my raid leader was asking which group of dpsers will benefit more from this ability, caster or melees..
he was asking coz of some post he found somewhere, i'll just quote it below..

QUOTE

Ele Sham, Mages, D-locks all gain a clean 30% from Bloodlust. Melee, while they scale well with haste, do not gain 100% from it. Rather, they gain only a30%*X where X is the % of their total damage which comes from white attacks. Unless my understanding of melee is faulty, this is never over 60%, so even under ideal circumstances a bloodlust can not be more than 18% benefit to a melee.

would like any lowyat wow raiders share their opinion or any links or theorycrafts on this matter..i really would like to know bout this..tq in advance..

Scholarship for Masters Programme

mainFrame — Thu, 22 Jun 2006 14:11:03 +0800

Hi everyone,
Im looking for an organization which provides scholarship for people pursuing Masters Programme in local uni. Most of the scholarship currently applies only to those pursuing Degrees Programme. For Masters Programme, i can only find organizations providing loans. As it is, i dont think taking another loan is an option since PTPTN was used to pursue the Degree. Thats why im looking for an organization providing scholarship for Masters Programme pursuers. Anyone knows of any organization providing this?
