[Tasera]

Well I managed to get on today after all. Anyways, Tasera will be my first 85, followed soon by little Shidomae. nnWho knows shidomae may be able to pull numbers as good as Tas now, considering that My spec was smashed to hell and back, dropped about 2k DPS off of raid bosses with main focus generating abilities not being learned till the 81-85 levels. All well, all the more reason to look forward to Cata!

All the years of muscle memory and knowledge about your rotations and abilities are not so important now.

nnWhich makes this an excellent time to switch away from keyboard turning to a more keybind-heavy style of play, if you haven't already.nnHeavy keybinds and mouse turning improve your reaction time immensely, in PVE as well as PVP. The essentials are 1) unbind turn right and turn left from your A and D keys so that you have to turn with the mouse, and 2) bind your interrupts, instants, and most commonly used abilities to the 1-6, Z-B, A, D, and G keys.nnHere's a solid article that explains it in more depth: http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/09/16/the-a ... #continued

Most likely won't be around for a few days while the patch issues get resolved, UI's, get updated, and such. Not to mention work and rehearsal are keeping me way too busy at the moment. nnSpeaking of rehearsal if any of you are in the Chicago in Nov/Dec come see an visually amazing dark comedy puppet show Berwyn Avenue!nnDetails at berwynavenue.comnnLove yas!

If I can make some macros, I may just ditch Cryolysis entirely. X-Perl was borked beyond all recognition. Gryphonheart gave errors. Right now, it's just "growing pains" until the UI addons are updated.nnPunky: I had no idea you were in some type of performing arts.

Leo if it's any help I stopped using Cryo a lonnnng time ago. MInd you I have a g15 (original layout) where I can macro my handy dandy skills without impinging upon my normal chatty habits.

[Cocheli]

I have a G13 and had to update the software after the patch came through ("Why can't I move? Why can't I cast? Is this thing plugged in?"). I've been tweaking the layout to better reflect the new rotation and options.nnHealbot is still bunged up, but most of my others seem okay with their new 4.0-happy patches. nnI was using Squawk and Awe, but would like to find another Boomkin/Eclipse add-on, so will probably be shopping around tonight after work. I actually like the visual for it that they use in the standard WoW UI.

Yup, Leo, I've been working on and off as an professional actor for years. Mostly theater, a few local commercial spots in Washington state. some extra work in film. Never been into it for the money I just like to play pretend in front of a large audience.nnAlso, I HATE THIS PATCH!nnSo boinked my funputer that even now as of 4:00 server time two days after launch I am still unable to get everything up and running. I am in the final stages now and might actually make it on some time tonight or tomorrow.nnIf I was more like Punky I'd have buried an axe in this box and walked away from the smoking smashed ruins.

[Leothiel]

I ditched Cryolysis entirely. X-Perl is up-to-date: I just have to turn it on. Auctioneer concerns me the most as now my auction house mule's personal guild bank is filling up.nnOn a different topic: I sing in my church choir and sing in a choir that is partnered with the local symphony orchestra.

you can get the beta version of Auctioneer that works with 4.0 from the auctioneer website. I got it last night and it works like a champ.

Auctionator is already up to date and working fine.
