@ Blade – Scrolling Combat Text + Scrolling Combat Text Damage!

Ooooh, pretty layout and addons~

I just use 2 that change looks; grid so I can see the raid, and mik’s scrolling combat text, because it compiles random floating numbers into one large one.

I AM curious, though: What’s the addon that causes a column of text to appear in phase 3?

@Rilgon – I tried Shadowed– while I liked it better than most of everything else I’d tried, I dunno, I still went back to XPerl =S

I really should go to Mik’s, though, I just keep putting it off…

You should give Shadowed Unit Frames a try, Pike. They’re very clean-cut and significantly less overhead than XPerl.

Also, ditch SCT/SCTD in favor of Mik’s Scrolling Battle Text. Better addon, and again, less overhead.

We love doing 10-man hardmodes with you too, Pike.

@ Pike, I can sometimes suffer the same problem, the way around it I found for me was to keybind certain keys to keys I don’t regurlaly use (EG: F, V, ~, ect)
This allows me to hit them instantly by memory when I need to, and it makes things a big easier to do

Looooove the music.

And grats on the achievement. You guys didn’t seem to have much trouble with the little white adds that spawn when he’s burrowed, which is usually the most irritating part about the fight for my guild. Also nice to see another hunter using tranq shot on those guys.

Too bad most of the loot I saw you check out was cloth

@ Jarnow – Long story made short: I use the mouse to turn when I need to. Kiting, jump-shotting (you can see an example of me using a jump-shot on one of the little bugs at 2:51 in the movie!), PvP, etc. Otherwise, I use the keyboard, cause why not, if you don’t have absolutely have to use the alternative?

@ Haze – I don’t use any of the addons you mentioned except XPerl and Recount. XPerl isn’t going anywhere because I’ve tried other unit frame addons, and universally disliked them all. In all honestly, I’ve tested the addons, and the only one that makes a small difference when it comes to my framerate is SCT and SCTD, but they’re not going anywhere either because I’m stubborn, and I like them =P (Also, it was acting up during the last phase, which is why I had the biggest framerate issue at that point. It happens. /shrug)

@ llwynog – Another long-ish story: I actually do use keybinds. Quite a few, actually. Bestial Wrath, Kill Command, Kill Shot, Multishot, Rapid Fire, Hunter’s Mark/Pet Attack, Aspect of the Viper and Dragonhawk, these are all keybound, and you are quite right: I couldn’t live without them (for the most part).

Really the only things I consistently click are Steady Shot and Arcane. Because I cast them the most frequently and it leaves my fingers free to use my keybinds while continuing to use Steady– for example, I can do Bestial Wrath and Steady Shot at the same time. (Bestial Wrath is not linked to the global cooldown).

That is just one of the reasons for that though; the other big one is that my hands are very unusually small and I simply can’t have too many keybinds, or I can’t reach them all!

In closing I suppose I should have clarified better: I do not exclusively keyboard turn and click… not by a long shot. I was sorta being facetious and self-deprecating in my comment that I did, I think. My bad if it caused confusion ;P

Also, I <3 doing 10man hardmodes with my guild, we do it a lot!
