Until you have a shot at the maloriak mace, it's pretty much tops.
I can't find any info in the gear guides on this site regarding soul blade. Sorry for not linking but I'm on my BB. It goes for 20 to 24k on my server is it worth it? BTW I can afford it but it is by no means pocket change. It takes me about a month to put together that kind of gold. I'm about to start raiding and I just need someone to steer me one way or another. I'm itching to click the buyout button, I just don't want to regret it.

RNGesus - Saving you unreliably since BC.
That was quick Melvar thanks......didn't even finish my lunch....lol
it's nice, but i wouldn't spend 20k+ on it. either try to join a BoT trash farming run and get it for free, or just wait until you down valiona; she drops an equivalent weapon to tank with. your blue should be fine until then.
No she doesn't.or just wait until you down valiona; she drops an equivalent weapon to tank with.
If you're talking about Lava Spine it drops from Magmaw and it's by no means equivalent. The Mastery/Hit on the Soul Blade are tanking stats; Crit/Haste are not.
The Soul Blade and Mace of Acrid Death are the only really viable 359 tanking weapons right now.
Still, I wouldn't spend 24k on it. Just get a 346 weapon and start raiding. The swords drop like candy and Maloriak is not an incredibly tough fight.
To the OP - 346 weapons are fine for Normal Mode. Are you planning on jumping right into hard modes? If not, I would agree with marklar. 346 should be perfectly fine for normal modes.

A word of warning. We are going into our 13th ID of killing maloriak. He has yet to drop the mace :/
IF the soul blade drops, take it, it is a very nice sword. I wouldn't drop 24k on it though.
Yes, and my advice is to plan on being in the middle of the curve like most people. Which means you will see this drop.These are such bad comments. Drops are RNG...It's a bell curve.
I suppose if you want to plan for being a statistical outlier you could justify spending 250k on this item because you're never going to see either tanking weapon drop in your lifetime... but I would advise against that approach personally.
Depends how much you care about your dps/tps. It's not much better than some of the heroic blue weapons in terms of survival, so if that's all you care about it might not be worth the price. For me, I always want the highest ilv weapon I can get. On my warrior, I bought it right away (spend days askin trade for it) even tho I was already running BOT and killing Maloriak, cause I didn't wanna wait lol. Bought another one for my paladin the night he hit 85.

Our guild runs BOT trash runs pretty frequently. Although those phase twister legs seem to drop the most, the soul blade drops pretty frequently. 2 times in the last week as a matter of fact.
It's a nice sword, but I'm not sure I'd spend that kind of gold on it....
Your advice is to plan on RNG? That's, frankly, bad advice.
No one is arguing spending a 24k let alone 250k gold on an item, all you're doing is distracting from the fact you made a bad antedoctal comment that will lead players astry.
If you plan on RNG drops, then you should plan on every 10th incoming attack being dodged at 10% dodge and every other attack blocked with 50% block.
That's not how RNG works and suggesting basing game decisions on this is bad.

It's a nice weapon and useful for smf as well if you ever play offspec. If you have the money and are not yet raiding go for it. If it will blow a lot of your money I would use cookies tenderizer like I did =P.
He who is afraid to lose will never win.
Only when the power of love overcomes the worlds love of power, will mankind know peace.
He wanted to know if it was a good choice... not if its practical or how oftend it might drop.. you can stop with your comments, they do no good. And everyone else can stop arguing over things that dont matter.
Soul blade has mastery on it, which is a great stat for a tank. But its not a huge upgrade over your current weapon, as your current one has parry, and only ~10 less mastery on it.
It would make a much larger difference if you look at your professions, and reforging. turn some of that dodge (im guessing you over looked a few items.. as you have most of your dodge turned into parry. but left it on some gear) into parry. And at the very least, pick up JCing.

I bought one at 20K for my warrior tank when we started serious progression. It's a good weapon and accompanied me through countless wipes! lol I think every bit of gold I spent is worthwhile.
There were several concerns when I bought it. Because I bought it several months ago and the sword was usually quite expensive during that time, like 30K+ or so. 20K sounds pretty attractive at the time. And by buying the sword I could pass the mace to our pally tank when it first dropped. Also, because I usually go dps if it's a single tank fight, I use it to dps in fury too. So all in all I think it's a nice deal.
I'd say it depends on your situation and guild/raid conditions. 20K+ sounds too much for me now lol
It's bad advice.
Maybe it's because I was burned by months of farming NES daily (and sometimes more) with seeing it drop just twice. But it's incredibly frustrating to see people spout that drops can be counted on. They can't. They are RNG.

You can't plan on getting a random drop. Because it might not drop. You know that in 2 weeks time you can buy a ring or cloak for valor points, because they are guaranteed. You cannot know that a random loot item will drop or not. ToC faction champions were available in august 2009. I got my Juggernaut's vitality trinket in the last week of Feb 2010, two weeks before I got the stamina trinket from Sindragosa.
Now, http://www.wowhead.com/spell=94718 IS a reliable source of a weapon. Expensive, but nevertheless reliable because just about every blacksmith on your server will be able to build it for you. And it will be quite a lot cheaper than Soul Blade
Wow this thread blew up while I was at work. Thanks for all the comments. BTW most of my raid exposure will come through pugs. I'm in a leveling guild and as many times as we have tried to start raiding it never materializes.
As far as waiting for something to drop, I have had some bad experiences. No joke I have run heroic Grim Batol no less than 30 times and have never gotten throngus's finger to drop. A guildy needed a normal, I ran him and the non heroic version dropped.
As far as the 20k+ price tag goes, I look at it as its costing me 5k in mats and 8 chaos orbs. Because that is about what I need to craft a few items to make the money for it. I'm just debating whether it is a significant upgrade for me. The mace you guys where discribing from Maloriak, tbh if things go as they usually do for me its going to be awhile before I even get there.
I'm not the best tank in the world, I would say I'm an average tank at best, but I enjoy it. I find in my case it helps me to outgear the content I'm in by a bit. Thanks again.
We've got Maloriak on farm in normal, and it's dropped 2 of the 12 times we've been there. It will drop 20 times after I finally get it, I.E. Deathbringers Will .....
Stick with the 346. I've still got my Smite's Reaver and see no need for spending the cash for an upgrade that not huge to he honest.
Until you start to see Hard Mode content, don't sweat the 346 weapon. Save the gold and get the chest made ( and we can talk about skinning/leatherworking later on ????? )
i have it. its nice. but, it is not really a huge upgrade over the 346 tanking weps you can get in terms of mitigation stats.
i would spend the 20k on other items first like the crafteds, or valor boots etc.

text: Judas Priest is an immensely influential heavy metal band formed in 1969 in Birmingham, England by K.K. Downing and Ian Hill. The band"s classic line-up consists of vocalist Rob Halford, guitarists K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton, and bassist Ian Hill. They epitomize the classic heavy metal genre, particularly the NWOBHM ("New Wave of British Heavy Metal") movement, and have influenced hundreds of musicians and bands. Their popularity and influence earned them the nickname "The Metal Gods". Musical style and influences One of the progenitors of heavy metal, Judas Priest are best known for their twin-lead-guitar sound and the complex guitar duets of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton; and for Rob Halford"s high-pitched screams, and lead vocals. However, the band"s biggest musical innovation is the dual "rhythm guitar", i.e. the accompaniment, or riff, which plays an essential role in all hard rock genres and especially in heavy metal. Although Wishbone Ash and the Scorpions have had two guitarists each and to some extent did play harmonies and dual leads prior to Judas Priest, none had played dual rhythm consistently as an integral part of their music. Dual rhythm consists of two guitarists playing the same exact melody (riff) simultaneously, often on the same exact octave, which is slightly different from traditional harmonies. There may be minor differences in sound, tone, tenacity, and an occasional deviation from the melody for a very short period (like a short improvisation, or insert - just a few notes). Since Judas Priest introduced this new style of rhythm guitar with their first release Rocka Rolla, it has become a standard feature of heavy metal. Another important aspect of their style is inserting very melodic solos, or "lead breaks" - between fast riffs (e.g. "The Sentinel", "Electric Eye", "Night Crawler", "Hellrider"). Many people, including influential musicians and members of prominent hard rock and heavy metal bands, believe that the foundation for what would define "pure" heavy metal were three early Judas Priest albums; Sad Wings of Destiny (1976), Sin After Sin (1977), and Stained Class (1978).

Ben of Grand Rapids says:
"I am just starting to train for my first ever run, and just starting to get into running. I came to your store with a lot of unanswered questions and also looking for some direction. I was pleasantly greeted by a man named TJ. He took it upon himself to go way above and beyond to make sure i got the perfect pair of shoes and insoles. While he was sizing my feet and having me try on multiple pair of shoes, he was able to take any and all of my probably bone head questions about running, and answered them in a way i could easily relate to. He was very encouraging and extremely up beat about me being interested in running. I am a bigger guy weighting 265# and he was very supportive to that aspect because he said at one time he too was a bigger guy and just decided to start running. Well i am starting to ramble a little so ill let you go, but in closing. I have been to many stores and dealt with many salespeople and very few were as pleasant and knowledgeable as your TJ. Thank you for the great shopping experience and knowledgeable staff you and your team should be commended."

If you think you've been hearing a lot more positive news about breast cancer care and prevention, you're right. And if you support prevention and research efforts, you're part of the reason.
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), after increasing for more than 2 decades, female breast cancer incidence rates decreased by about 2% per year from 1999 to 2005.
Overall, the risk of breast cancer has remained relatively stable over the last 10 years; 1 in 8 women still develops it. White women get breast cancer at a higher rate than African-American women, and Hispanic/Latina women have a lower incidence of breast cancer than white women. However, African-American women are more likely to get breast cancer younger, and they are more likely to die of it at any age. A woman's chances for recovery, however, have been looking better. Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990, with larger decreases in women younger than 50, according to the ACS.
More women are surviving breast cancer because the disease is being detected earlier, the ACS says. Breast cancer takes many different forms, and some are more aggressive than others. The key is finding it early so you have the greatest range of treatment options.
Mammograms are still the gold standard of early detection, and the good news is that more women are getting them regularly, the ACS says.
Doctors can also use other kinds of imaging equipment to evaluate possible areas of concern. For example:
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to help determine whether a mass is a solid tumor or a cyst.
MRIs sometimes are used to detect small tumors after surgery and to monitor breast implants for leakage.
When a mammogram reveals an abnormality, doctors now can perform minimally invasive core biopsies using a slender, hollow needle to gather several samples from different areas of the tissue.
Women diagnosed with breast cancer also benefit from new drug therapies. Tamoxifen, the best known, reduced the recurrence of breast cancer very effectively during clinical trials. As a result, it has been used by women at high risk of breast cancer to reduce their chances of developing it.
Another drug that's widely used today, trastuzumab, reduces the risk for a recurrence of breast cancer in women whose tumors have too much of the protein HER-2. HER-2 positive cancers tend to grow faster and are more likely to return after treatment than cancers that don't have too much of the protein.
Another drug, everolimus, blocks a protein in cells that normally makes cancer cells grow. Everolimus also may block tumors from developing new blood vessels. Everolimus may work against certain HER2-negative breast cancers that have hormone receptors on the cells, and it may help hormone therapy drugs work better against these breast cancers.
In addition, researchers are zeroing in on lifestyle factors that affect breast cancer.
The following factors, which women can control, seem to increase the risk for breast cancer:
Alcohol. Drinking more than 2 drinks a day.
Postmenopausal obesity. Although a high-fat diet isn't considered a risk factor, obesity has been associated with a higher risk.
Other factors are associated with lower breast cancer risk:
Breastfeeding. Breastfeeding, when possible, seems to help protect against breast cancer.
Physical activity. In addition to helping to control obesity, regular exercise appears to have risk-reducing benefits.
By far, however, early detection through regular mammograms is the best way to reduce your risk.
The benefits and limitations of mammography vary based on factors like age and personal risk. Experts have different recommendations for mammography. Currently, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening every 2 years for women ages 50 to 74. The ACS recommends yearly screening for all women ages 40 and older. Women should talk with their doctors about their personal risk factors before making a decision about when to start getting mammograms or how often they should get them.
What about clinical breast exams? The ACS recommends clinical breast exams (CBEs) at least every 3 years for all women in their 20s and 30s and annual CBEs for women ages 40 and older. The USPSTF, however, believes there is not enough evidence to assess the value of CBEs for women ages 40 and older. Women should talk with their doctors about their personal risk factors and make a decision about whether they should have a CBE.

I was hoping to get a modest ring for daily wear and ironically this came out very sparkly. I was pleasantly surprised. I have been crossing my fingers before the order arrived because I have never purchased H color diamonds. I looked it closely under different lights and daylight and cannot find any visible spots and flaws. Diamonds are not very tiny as I expected either. The size is as exactly as described in the photo. I saw the same quality ring with exact same diamond count and setting on this site for a few hundreds more. I took some risk and ordered this and finally felt lucky.

Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - It sounds like a good deal: sell the solar power generated by solar panels on your roof to your utility company for a profit.
But a consumer advocate is calling it unfair.
Dominion Power has received approval from Virginia's State Corporation Commission make similar deals. The utility will pay customers 15 cents per kilowatt for power the consumer produces but does not use.
However, the other half of the deal has raised concern. Customers also have to pay Dominion 10.5 cents to buy back what they actually do use.
The program is designed to encourage the use of solar energy, but Mark Cooper from the Consumer Federation of America says it is a bad deal.
"It's so blatantly unfair that even in Virginia, it shouldn't happen," Cooper says, noting that Virginia is not known as a consumer-friendly state. "They should allow me to realize the full value of every megawatt or kilowatt I produce."
Dominion Technology Manager Dianne Corsello says there is money to be made.
"It does depend on how big the system is that you put on your rooftop and how much electricity you use at your home," Corsello says.
She says Dominion is the the first utility in this region to do this type of buyback, though it is being done in other parts of the country as well. The company is offering the buyback option in an effort to encourage more use of solar energy. The program begins on June 20.

My name's Lelanie. I am a Filipino residing in Spain. I am a stay-at-home mom to two children, a 6 year-old girl and a 3 year-old boy. I have a BA in Language and Literature, a certificate as a nursing aide, and an MBA degree. I used to work as a college instructor in a state university but had to take a long "hiatus" when I got married and immediately got pregnant with my first baby. From then on, I have enjoyed being a full-time mom to my princess and now, also to my li'l guy. I have always loved to create with my hands. I used to sketch, scrapbook and do cross stitch. Two years ago, my husband gave me my first sewing machine as an early Christmas gift but it stood untouched for 9 months since I was busy finishing my MBA degree. Last year, one summer day, I took the sewing machine from its box and started sewing, basically to re-purpose some unused clothes. I was a beginner and a self-taught sewer but I haven't stopped sewing ever since! I then created a sewing Facebook group with my sister, Laarnie and high school friend, Lhorie and opened my own Etsy shop. A few weeks later, the blog was born. Laarnie is in Japan while Lhorie is in China but the distance is not a hindrance for us to make the blog work.

The Best Mom Moments of All Time
Being a mom is a private journey, but the events that shape us as moms are often lived out loud on the national stage. Here, 72 milestones that have made motherhood what it is today.
President Woodrow Wilson designates the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day, calling it "a public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country."
The Epidural (1930s)
Before John Bonica, M.D., invented the epidural block, relief for the pains of labor meant being knocked out. Today, women can be awake for the momentous occasion that is birth.
The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care (1946)
Once upon a time, doctors (mostly men) preached a strict, one-size-fits-all approach to raising children. Pediatrician Benjamin Spock gave moms permission — revolutionary at the time — to trust their own instincts. Since then, Dr. Spock's guide has sold more copies worldwide than any other book besides the Bible.
Folic Acid (1940s)
A groundbreaking medical discovery: This nutrient helps prevent birth defects. In 1998, food companies begin using it to enrich bread, pasta, and other cereal grains. Birth defects of the brain and spinal cord drop by 26 percent.
The star's pregnancy is written into I Love Lucy a TV first. Scripts are reviewed by a priest, a minister, and a rabbi, and CBS insists on using the word "expecting" instead of "pregnant." But fans love it, and the episode featuring Lucy's delivery sets a new ratings record.
La Leche League (1956)
At a time when formula was très fashionable, seven determined moms banded together to create a breast-feeding support network. Today, LLL boasts more than 7,000 volunteers dedicated to educating and supporting (and, okay, sometimes annoying) women in the nursing process.
The book summed up our love for our mothers and every child's longing to belong to someone. That message of mother love still rings true for moms and kids today.
Disposable Diapers (1960s)
Invented in the 1950s, they weren't widely available until 1961, when Pampers were introduced. No more diaper pins!

The endlessly reproduced photo of stoic widow Jackie Kennedy with her young children, Caroline and JFK Jr., is now a classic image of maternal strength and grace.
The Breast Pump (1960s)
Even after mom goes back to work, babies can still have breast milk. and now dads can help feed the baby, too!
Robert Bradley's book was an influential first step in opening the delivery-room door to dads. (In 1973, only 27 percent of hospitals even allowed fathers to be in the delivery room; today, it's taken for granted that Pop will be in on the birth.)
Sonograms (1960s)
Doctors begin monitoring babies just weeks after conception. Nowadays, mothers can even order a sonogram in 3-D. No more waiting for the birth to wonder, "Does he have his dad's nose or mine?"
No matter how colicky your newborn seems, Rosemary's baby is worse. Which is oddly comforting.
911 (1960s)
When the government calls for an easy, universal emergency phone number, AT&T suggests 911. Even a child can remember it last December a 4-year-old girl in Salt Lake City used it to save her mom's life.
Designed to help preschoolers transition from home to school, it was the first children's educational show of its kind. And it's arguably still the best.
Shirley Partridge (1970)
The Partridge Family's Shirley Jones plays TV's ultimate single mom -- so cool, she's in a band with her kids.

Even if natural childbirth isn't for you, the increase in midwife-attended births (up 13-fold since 1975) has led a broader trend toward a woman-centered approach to birth and more choices, from at-home water births to "walking" epidurals, for all moms-to-be.

Barotrauma is the pain or discomfort that you feel when there is a difference in air pressure between the outside environment and the inside of your body. You may have this discomfort when you fly in an airplane or go scuba diving.
Ear Barotrauma
Barotrauma most commonly affects the middle ear. The middle ear has a pocket of air that is sensitive to changes in air pressure.
- You have a thin layer of skin (or membrane) at the end of the ear canal. It vibrates and sends sound to your middle ear. This is called the eardrum.
- The air pressure inside and outside your ear is normally same. The eustachian tube connects the middle ear and the throat. It works to balance the air pressure on both sides of your eardrum. It allows air to flow into or out of the middle ear.
- Ear barotrauma happens when the eustachian tube gets blocked. Your body cannot balance the air pressure inside and outside the eardrum.
- Ear barotrauma is usually not severe or dangerous. It is easily treatable. Sometimes there are complications such as loss of hearing , ear infection, dizziness, or a perforated (punctured) eardrum.
Sinus Barotrauma
Sinuses are air-filled pockets in the bone around the nose.
- Sinus barotrauma occurs when there is a difference in pressure between the air in the sinuses and the pressure outside.
- You may experience pain around your cheek bones or above your eyes.
- You may also experience headaches.
- It may lead to severe sinus infection if you also have a cold or nasal congestion.
Pulmonary (Lung) Barotrauma
Pulmonary barotrauma is the injury that is caused when outside pressure is different than the pressure of the air in your lungs.
- Scuba divers swim with canisters of compressed air. It allows them to breathe under water. The lungs may overinflate if a diver has too much compressed air and returns to the surface of the water without properly exhaling. One complication is that the lung could collapse.
Another complication is decompression sickness.
This is also referred to as "the bends."
- Nitrogen is a chemical dissolved in blood by high pressure. It forms bubbles as pressure decreases (such as when you swim up to the surface when diving). These bubbles may leak out into your bloodstream as air bubbles called air embolisms.
- Air embolisms can travel to any organ in the body. They are dangerous when they block blood vessels that feed an organ such as the heart, lungs, and the brain.
- Decompression sickness is classified as Type 1 or Type 2. Type 1 is when the bubbles affect the tissues around joints. Knees, elbows, and shoulders are most often affected. Type 2 is more serious. It involves the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) or the lung and heart.
Barotrauma can even be due to equipment such as a mask or dry suit used for scuba diving. The equipment can block and trap air against the skin. You may become injured if an air pocket happens when you dive. Dry suits can painfully pinch your skin. Masks can cause blood vessels in the eyes to burst.
Contact your doctor if you think you may have some type of barotrauma.

You may become injured if an air pocket happens when you dive. Dry suits can painfully pinch your skin. Masks can cause blood vessels in the eyes to burst.
Contact your doctor if you think you may have some type of barotrauma.
Barotrauma is caused when the air pressure inside and outside the body are different. This results in discomfort. Causes include:
- Flying
Scuba diving
- Ascending (going up to the surface) without exhaling freely
- Swimming quickly to the surface when diving
- Holding your breath when ascending
- Underwater diving for an increased period of time
- Repeated dives within 24 hours
- Flying in an airplane after diving
- Having air pockets in equipment (such as masks and dry suits)
Risk Factors
Risk factors that increase your chance of developing barotrauma include:
- Congested nose from allergies or colds
- Congenital (present before birth) blockage of the eustachian tubes
- Smoker
Age: children and older adults
- Eustachian tubes in children are smaller and more likely to become blocked.
- Damaged eustachian tube, caused by scarring or a tumor
- Obstructions in the ear
- Cleft palate or lip—may affect balance of pressure in the middle ears
- Holding your breath while diving
- Deeper dives
- Long amounts of time spent underwater diving
- Repeated dives within 24 hours
- Flying in an airplane after diving
- Rapid return to the surface when diving
- Fatigue
- Dehydration
- Cold water
- Obesity
- Poor fitting equipment used for scuba diving
- Congenital (present before birth) blockage or narrowing of the sinus drainage system
You need to seek treatment immediately if you have symptoms of an air embolism due to pulmonary barotrauma. Symptoms of an air embolism to the brain are usually identified very quickly after you surface from the water.
Symptoms of decompression sickness usually occur within an hour of surfacing from the water. They can also occur up to six hours later. It is very important to seek treatment immediately if you have decompression sickness.
If you have any of these other symptoms do not assume it is due to barotrauma. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions.
Symptoms include:
Ear Barotrauma
- Discomfort or pain in one or both ears
- Feeling as though your ears are clogged
- Feeling of pressure in your ears
- Dizziness
- Hearing loss (temporary)
- Bleeding from the ear (rare)
- Tinnitus
Sinus Barotrauma
- Sinus pressure and/or pain
- Nasal bleeding
- Headaches
- Tooth pain
Pulmonary Barotrauma
Symptoms may include:
Reactions similar to a
- Headache
- Agitation
- Confusion
Other symptoms:
- Partial paralysis
- Sudden loss of consciousness
- Seizures
- Coughing up blood
- Frothy blood at the mouth
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Raspy voice
- Pneumothorax —a condition in which air escapes from the lungs into the chest cavity and compresses the lungs resulting in a collapsed lung
Decompression symptoms may include:
- Swelling
- Pain in muscles, joints, and tendons
- Problems of the spinal cord—paralysis
- Problems of the sensory system
- Problems with lungs—chest pain, cough , shortness of breath (sometimes called the chokes)
- Rashes or itchy skin
- Bubbles under your skin
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. If you have been flying or have been diving recently it is important to tell your physician.
Get medical help right away if you think that you have pulmonary barotrauma or decompression sickness.
Ear Barotrauma
Your doctor will look into your ear with a special flashlight called an otoscope. The otoscope allows your doctor to see your eardrum. Your doctor may see a bulge of the eardrum if you have barotrauma. This bulge occurs from the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of your eardrum. There may even be blood behind the eardrum.
Sinus Barotrauma
There are no tests to diagnose sinus barotrauma. Diagnosis depends on your doctor getting an accurate history and then conducting a physical exam.
Pulmonary Barotrauma
Your doctor may order tests to check for air embolisms and possible lung collapse.
Your doctor may need pictures of your lungs. This can be done with:
- Chest x-ray
- Computed tomography (CT)
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Lung perfusion scan
- Your doctor may need information about how your lungs function. This can be done with a pulmonary function test .
- Your doctor may need to measure the level of oxygen in your blood. This can be done with pulse oximetry.
Your doctor may choose to treat you immediately if you have been diving recently and show symptoms of decompression sickness.
Your doctor may choose to treat you immediately if you have been diving recently and show symptoms of decompression sickness.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. The following measures can also prevent barotrauma. Treatment options include the following:
Pressure Relief
To relieve the pressure in your eustachian tube, you can:
- Suck candy
- Chew gum
- Yawn
- Inhale and gently exhale through your nose while pinching your nostrils shut. This forces air through the blocked eustachian tube and possibly opens it.
It is important to relieve nasal congestion and open your eustachian tube. Your doctor may recommend that you take some medications, including:
- Decongestant nasal sprays
- Oral decongestants
- Oral antihistamines
- Pain medications
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to prevent an ear infection if the barotrauma is severe.
Surgery may be necessary to relieve the pressure if your eustachian tube does not open with other treatments. Your doctor will make a small cut in your eardrum to equalize the air pressure. Any fluid blocking the tube may also be removed.
Oxygen Treatment
Oxygen should be given immediately if you have pulmonary barotrauma. The oxygen can be given through a mask over the face or by a tube near your nose.
Recompression Therapy
If you have decompression sickness, you need to be in a high-pressure environment. This allows the air bubbles that have formed to shrink and break up in your blood. Some medical centers have hyperbaric chambers (also known as high-pressure or recompression chambers). These chambers provide a high-pressure environment.
The Divers Alert Network offers information on these chambers.
Take the following steps to help reduce your chances of getting barotrauma:
- Postpone your flight if you have a cold or are congested.
Do things that will help keep the eustachian tube open to relieve the pressure, especially during take-off and landing. You can do this if you:
- Suck candy
- Chew gum
- Yawn
- Breath with your mouth open
- Avoid sleeping during descent because you may not be swallowing enough.
- Get filtered earplugs. These special earplugs slowly equalize the air pressure against your eardrum.
- Have babies suck on a bottle or pacifier; do not let them sleep during descent.
- Take a decongestant pill or nasal spray before the start of the flight to shrink the membranes in the eustachian tube. This will help make your ears pop more easily.
- Some people have frequent barotraumas. Your doctor may suggest having tubes surgically placed in your eardrums to help balance the pressure and prevent the condition.
Scuba Diving
- Be properly trained.
- Be in good health before diving.
- Make sure all your equipment is working properly.
- Go down and come up slowly in the water when scuba diving. The United States Navy Diving Manual has guidelines. They list how often you should stop during your ascent and how slowly you should make your ascent.
- Take a decongestant pill or nasal spray a little before diving. It will unblock your eustachian tubes, nose, or sinuses.
- To prevent pulmonary barotrauma, do not hold your breath during ascent (going up).
- Don't smoke.
- Exhale freely while ascending to the surface when diving. You should do this even in a swimming pool.
- Don't dive as deep.
- Don't stay under the water at greater depths for so long.
- Avoid flying or going to a higher altitude for the next 24 hours after diving.
- Know the location of the nearest recompression chamber.
- Check your dry suit and your facial mask. Make sure your equipment is properly vented and that it won't cause air to be trapped against the skin.
- Never hold your breath while breathing compressed gas and ascending.
- Never dive alone.

Explore Iron-Deficiency Anemia
Iron-deficiency anemia is a common, easily treated condition that occurs if you don't have enough iron in your body. Low iron levels usually are due to blood loss, poor diet, or an inability to absorb enough iron from food.
Iron-deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia. The term "anemia" usually refers to a condition in which your blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen and remove carbon dioxide (a waste product) from your body.
Anemia also can occur if your red blood cells don't contain enough hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin). Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Iron-deficiency anemia usually develops over time if your body doesn't have enough iron to build healthy red blood cells. Without enough iron, your body starts using the iron it has stored. Soon, the stored iron gets used up.
After the stored iron is gone, your body makes fewer red blood cells. The red blood cells it does make have less hemoglobin than normal.
Iron-deficiency anemia can cause fatigue (tiredness), shortness of breath, chest pain, and other symptoms. Severe iron-deficiency anemia can lead to heart problems, infections, problems with growth and development in children, and other complications.
Infants and young children and women are the two groups at highest risk for iron-deficiency anemia.
Doctors usually can successfully treat iron-deficiency anemia. Treatment will depend on the cause and severity of the condition. Treatments may include dietary changes, medicines, and surgery.
Severe iron-deficiency anemia may require treatment in a hospital, blood transfusions, iron injections, or intravenous iron therapy.
Living With and Managing Iron-Deficiency Anemia
Clinical trials are research studies that explore whether a medical strategy, treatment, or device is safe and effective for humans. To find clinical trials that are currently underway for Iron-Deficiency Anemia, visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.
Visit Children and Clinical Studies to hear experts, parents, and children talk about their experiences with clinical research.

Reserving this post just in case I decide to do a holding tank like in my fury guide.
EDIT: also, wtb auto resizing of the pictures.
I hope to get an updated version for the latest edition of the spreadsheet up and running some time in the near future
This guide will hopefully help people learn to use the landsouls spreadsheet, which has been the gold standard for warrior DPS simulations for a long time.
for a lot of the images might need to right click -> view image in order to see exactly what's going on and what stuff looks like.
You are going to need a version of excel that is '97 or sooner. I own excel 2007 and the screenshots used will be from that version of excel. all of the screenshots were taken using version 2.602 of landsouls spreadsheet.
Most of this information is presented in the manual presented in the intro tab. this guide is NOT a substitute for reading it. This guide is designed to help you if you are having problems understanding how to use the spreadsheet after already reading the manual.
Getting started
Go to this link:
you should see this:
The fury Tab
Please note that the arms tab is set up exactly the same as the fury tab,
after entering in your character name and server, press the green button to have it load your armory in to the spreadsheet.
For each area of the equipment section, there are drop-downs with all gems/gear/enchants you can use for that slot
The Item drop down is sorted by the +/- DPS rank in the lookup tab (I will discuss this later on in the guide)
Gems are sorted by quality and color
Now on to the lookup tab
Also located in the stat adjustment area is the "check sheet" option. This is the setting to change which tab (fury or arms) the lookup tab will be drawing its data from.
Please note that the +/- DPS values in the lookup tab do not always correlate to the values of the fury or arms tabs. when there is a conflict in numbers, trust the fury/arms tabs over the lookup tab.
General Usage
so lets say you got a new item, and want to know the best gem set up to use for that item.
In this example I am going to use getting a shadowmourne as an example.
Before changing anything this is what my loadout looks like:
Changes will always be outlined in red
Now because I see that I am over 100% ArP I automatically know that it would do me no good to use another ArP gem in the 3rd socket in shadowmourne, so I add a 20 STR gem.
Any ArP rating beyond 100% is wasted. since I am above 100% I need to check if having an ArP gem that is only being partially used is the best use of a socket. In cases like these you want to try and find a yellow socket with a decent socket bonus and then use an orange gem and see what result that has on your DPS metric. In this case I used a +10str/+10crit gem, and it in fact was a DPS increase.
Because I am a jewlcrafter there is one more gemming path that I need to check out which is changing my +34 ArP gem in to a +34 STR gem and then making all of the other gems be ArP. Although I am close to the ArP cap with this setup it is a minor DPS loss. this is probably due to the "free" stats gained from gaining the socket bonus by using the orange gem.
I hope this guide has been helpful for you, if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions feel free to post them.
Some of these screenshots show the player named piston being loaded, that is not me. that is one of my fellow guild mates that I originally posted on my guild forums to help him learn how to use the spreadsheet. Do NOT whisper piston in game.
I know landsoul has a copyright on his spreadsheet, so I know I should have some sort of disclaimer recognizing that he owns the rights to it, I do not pretend to be the creator or copyright holder of the spreadsheet, all recognition goes to him for that. (insert a proper legal disclaimer here)

"I am an elitist; I will never accept mediocrity and I openly show no respect for stupidity"
Thank you for this!!!
Awesome post TGM, Stickied!
Every Fury and arms warrior should be using this spreadsheet, it really helps make decisions quicker and more reliable. Sure there is a Best in Slot list.... but that truly wont be the best dps spec you can get until you get ALL the items, so meanwhile you are better off with other items while you assemble your BIS items.
The most dificult part is when the + - DPS values of the lookup table are incorrect. This is annoying but nothing is perfect anyway. Never make a decision to roll on an item based on the lookup tab, always use the fury and arms page to see if it helps or not.
How do i get landsouls to calculate my dps, I have evertyhing entered correctly but my dps metric only says # DIV/0? Sorry if im missing the obvious.
Dilly, that means the file broke, and is dividing by 0 somehow. You might need to redownload the sheet and re-input information, be very careful that you don't accidentally enter info into boxes that shouldn't be entered into.
*Gives stamp of approval*
By the way. the blood elf pally on the right -> is hot.
You mean Aliena? she's a priest! ;P
What does "Switch Lookup" mean in the dps metric field? I can't get it to give me a result other than that.
that means you need to go to the lookup tab and change the "check sheet" option for which ever tab you want it to be checking.

Super work on the spreadsheet, Landsoul, it is really awesome.
Very nice explaination, TGM.
How do I see and adjust the size of the ICC team buff used to calculate the dps?
I believe that the dps is a bit high if the ICC team buff is not included, which is my reason to believe that there is some level of ICC buff.
in the manual modification section of the fury/arms tab you can change the DIM (damage increase modifier) to what ever the ICC buff is. it's cell U31.

Quick question I'm using Microsoft Office Excel 2007, out of the Office Enterprise ED. However No matter which Version of the Spread sheet i download i get an error
The '07 version gives me this error:
Removed Part: /xl/vbaProject.bin part. (Visual Basic for Applications (VBA))
and the older one gives me:
This workbook has lost its VBA project, ActiveX controls and any other programmability-related features.
Any idea what is causing this? I thought it was .net libary so i updated that but still the same thing, I used to use an old old version of excel but i cant find the cd to install it anymore.

I have never run in to that error so unfortunately I have no idea what might cause it (most of the problems I know how to troubleshoot/fix are ones I've had to deal with personally). The only thing I know is that visual basic errors are never good.
after a quick google search my only suggestions would be to make sure the file is .xlsm and not .xlsx; and other than that try re-downloading it and/or making sure your security settings are set to medium or lower.

I've been familiarizing myself with this spreadsheet over the past 6 months or so, and when I went to open it up this past month or so, it was giving me an error (which I'm at work right now so I don't have the exact wording unfortunately) but it was pretty much saying that the file that I was trying to open was not there.
So, I went to download it again using the '07 version. I got a zip file with just a bunch of files with the codes for the spreadsheet in them, and not the actual spreadsheet.
So, I downloaded the older one. Again, same files... all codes, no spreadsheet. Somehow, the actual spreadsheet just opened on my computer and I have no clue how or what file. So, I saved that spreadsheet on my desktop when I was done with it and, when I try to open that saved copy of it, it gives me the same error as I got with the original spreadsheet, saying it's not there.
Any clue?
According to the creator himself - the much anticipated v3 of Landsouls Spreadsheet is planned for release before the Firelands release(patch 4.2)
read the link if you are interested in features etc..
when will it work?

Kidkraft kitchen and we've had it for years. I found the newest model on-line and it is really similar. I love the fun pastel colors. Every penny we spent on this play kitchen was well worth it! (So were the hours we spent assembling this thing. It is quite a project to assemble so if you buy it give yourself plenty of time!)
Boogie Board LCD writing tablets. I only get them out when we are traveling so that they are a fun new thing to keep them entertained in the car.
La La Loopsy dolls. Kenny's mom bought them each one last year for Christmas and the girls loved them so much that she bought them more for their birthdays. (It seems both grandma's love to spoil!) :) These dolls above aren't in their original clothes by the way. Another bonus is that they are skinny enough to fit in the barbie clothes. My girls are all about switching up the outfits! This crew was just settling in to watch the new Tinkerbell Secret of the Wings movie last weekend. Another fun gift idea for little girls. Of course Kenny and I couldn't wait until Christmas. The two of us were more excited to see it than Ellie and Addie were. True story. (It didn't disappoint!)

My First Set of Legos. Sounds like from all of you "boy moms" I have a lot of legos in my future??
stacking/nesting blocks. Funny how the simplest toys are often the ones played with the most. Kole has LOVED this basic set of blocks. He stacks them, crashes them, lines them up, nests them back inside each other, and then does it all over again.
Fisher Price Cash Register. (Not sure why Amazon has listed it so expensive. I bought it at a toy store for 15 bucks.) Kole loves it and my girls still play "store" with it. I bought it because it brought back so many fun memories for me. I was "queen pay lady" in my hood growing up. That's right. I had mad cash register skills and was proud of it.
Fisher Price Piano was beloved by all three of my kids at around age one. It's perfect for when little ones are just learning to pull themselves up. My kids would "stand" at this and play music for over 10 minutes. Which is huge at that age! I'm keeping this one for the grand kids. :) (Again check around because Amazon's price is high on this one.)
iPlay Fun Time Tractor and Kole LOVES it. You push the orange thing in the front to make the tractor drive. When you lift the farmer out it plays "Farmer in the Dell" and when you take out or put in each of the animals, it makes their sound. A great toy for teaching animal sounds which is why I bought it for Kole. He honestly played with it every day for over six months. Such a fun toy!
Melissa and Doug Wooden Farm Train is his current favorite. It is such a cute train and comes with fun things that ride inside. Who knows where they all were when I took this picture? I'm sure the pieces will turn up under couch pillows or in the girls' beds.
Wheels on the Bus book with movable parts has been such a hit with all three of my kids. It's my go-to gift for baby showers because it is just such a fun book and all little ones love it.

With three movements having titles borrowed from the Baroque, it might be thought that the main influence of this suite was the music of that period—especially that of Couperin and Rameau for whom Debussy had the greatest admiration and from whom he liked to trace his musical lineage. However the biggest clue lies rather in the adjective 'bergamasque'. This links it to the world of the Commedia dell'arte and also to the poet Verlaine, whose poem Clair de lune alludes to 'masques et bergamasques' and an idyllic Arcadia (Debussy set this poem twice to music). Verlaine's cycle, Fêtes galantes, was in turn inspired by the elegant and frivolous world portrayed by the painter Jean-Antoine Watteau.
The opening Prélude is marked Moderato (tempo rubato), and it is important to give it the requested rhythmic freedom. Debussy, like most French composers, insisted on being faithful to his score, but realized that after exactitude comes talent. It has some beautiful changes of colour, and a great sense of space. There is an almost direct quote from Fauré's setting of Clair de lune in bar 33. The Menuet requires good contrast between the staccato and legato touches as well as the ability to create a fanciful mood. The long sustained passage of fifteen bars before the coda has a great sense of sweep and should be played as one continuous line.
What would Debussy say if he knew his Clair de lune had been used in the soundtrack of at least fourteen major films and even in a TV commercial for Lexus automobiles (mutilated beyond belief)? It made him mad enough to be labelled an 'Impressionist' composer. Of all the pieces recorded here, you could probably apply that adjective most appropriately to this masterpiece, yet it still doesn't seem quite right. I prefer how the French pianist Jacques Février described it: 'The first to date of the great sonorous landscapes of Debussy.' Its hushed stillness at the beginning is almost unbearably beautiful. Thinking how to interpret it, I am reminded of what Debussy said about metronome marks and why he so rarely used them: that they are all right for one bar, 'like roses for the span of a morning'. Debussy told the pianist Maurice Dumesnil to use a general flexibility in this piece, and not to confuse the harmonies by using too much pedal. The harmony in fact is the melody here—it is not just a pretty tune. The C flat that is introduced the last time the theme appears must pierce us with its feeling of regret.
The Passepied is not at all in the standard Baroque metre for this dance (3/8), but it does bring us back to the aristocratic, noble colour of the other movements. Its main difficulty lies in playing the left hand staccato while phrasing the right hand (similar to Chabrier's Idylle and Reynaldo Hahn's song Quand je fus pris au pavillon). Debussy evidently held back this work from the publishers for months because he wasn't happy with the last few bars. I think he finally got them perfect.

It's very hard to unpick from just a log, particularly to see what combinations you had when people were dying.
Is your raid group clear on how to act with each combo? I've switched to using this addon: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/yors...le-raidwarning because it has the option for your own extra text. I've been using one line for 'hug boss' (if includes red), 'spread out' (if includes green) or 'group up' if it's anything else. The line after, a summary of any other effects. Note that any combination with black + yellow = 2xAdds, and any combo with yellow+red = nasty AOE. It defaults to odd output channels, but raid warning + yell works for me. I also think one of the default heroic combinations might be wierd (killing green rather than red when there are adds).
I would wonder whether h.pal + disc might be the combo I'd prefer rather than pal+druid. We used 2 paladins for our kill, with our resto pulling some respectable numbers in a rarely used offspec (heavily propped up by swipe spamming on adds). Also I note the warrior is fury - he might get better numbers with arms.
