One crash course in tanking coming up.
I highly suggest you read over WarTank 101 The Primer. Since it will get a bit more in depth then I do.
- Threat is a joke
- Avoidance is king. Warrior love mastery, they go for sunset walks down the beach with it, they share a toothbrush with it even Dodge and parry are good friends, parry a bit better then dodge because of the hold the line talent. Basically your goal is not take a single un-mitigated hit. AKA you want to dodge, parry, or block everything that comes your way.
- Also block doesn't function like old block, now block is a flat 30% or 60% reduction in damage instead of the old static amount of block value.

Kim Kardashian and Kourtney to share breast-feeding duties?
It figures a Kardashian would create a stir about wet nursing.
Pregnant Kim Kardashian joined big sister Kourtney Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show, during which they talked motherhood and breast-feeding. Kim recalled a conversation she had with Kourtney about nursing each other's babies.
"She said to me, 'whichever sister is baby-sitting should just breast-feed all the kids that are there," Kim recalled on the show.

The thought of breast-feeding her sister's child, or vice versa, seemed to disgust Kim, but Kourtney said, "That's what they did back in the day."
Kourtney, mom to Mason and Penelope, is right, according to Donna Kimick, an IBCLC board-certified lactation consultant in Massapequa Park.
"If you think about it, many, many years ago that's what people did," she said. "If your sister, mother, friend or relative was lactating, she would help feed your baby."
"There wasn't another option before formula was invented. Wet nursing is not something new, different cultures do it differently."
Breast-milk sharing is more common than you may think. A few days ago, a New Hampshire woman died of a staph infection, leaving behind four boys, including infant twins who were breast-feeding. The twins wouldn't tolerate formula, so a friend of the family reached out to local moms, who donated breast milk for them. There are also websites like milkshare.com and nationalmilkbank.org that welcome lactating women to donate their pumped or expressed breast milk.
Sharing breast milk or breast-feeding duties with friends and family does beg the question about safety.
"If you talk to most doctors, they'll say it's probably not safe if you don't know the other woman and you don't know what she is doing with her body," Kimick said. "But, I would think that most women who share their milk are taking care of their own bodies since they are feeding their own kids. Of course there's always a chance that something could be wrong with the milk, just like with formula or anything else you may eat or drink. Nothing is 100 percent."
Some people are opposed to milk sharing due to the lack of knowledge and understanding about lactation, while others embrace it.
Queens residents Ali Polizzi and her partner, Amy Rothman, co-breast-feed their two boys, Takoda and Nikkan.
"I was able to induce lactation so that I could give Takoda added immunities," Polizzi said. "This eased the burden on my wife and promoted bonding, which was very important to us. By the time Nikkan came along, my wife was able to breast-feed him right away for me as I recouped from an emergency C-section."
Some moms, like Claribel Sanchez of the NY Mom's Group, are on the fence. "I find sharing breast milk a little weird, but I guess it shows the great connection between the Kardashian sisters," Sanchez said.
"I have a twin sister and maybe, just maybe, we would breast-feed each other's kids. But I have to admit, I would be embarrassed to discuss it in public. I'd be afraid people would think we were disgusting."

Last season Ralph Lauren was captivated by the romance of Downton Abbey and turn of the century British upper crust society. The season before he transported us to the world of Gatsby with 20s silhouettes and Jazz Age spirit. Lauren is doubtless a fashion dreamer continually drawing inspiration from imagined visions of the past and present. This season he was on a trip to Spain and Latin America, and his collection, with its Matador jackets, ponchos, suede jackets and jodhpurs all finished off with Cordobes hats, left us in no doubt where his fantasies lay.
Sure Conquistador chic might be a bit costume-y and the flamenco style ruffles might be a bit OTT for some tastes, but there was pure precision in his execution – especially when it came to evening wear. From ivory silk gowns embellished simply with a single red rose to scarlet fish-tail floor sweepers, this collection was teeming with red carpet contenders. Karlie Kloss gave us one of the most winning looks – a tailored maxi skirt paired with a crisp white dress shirt accessorised with a fan shaped clutch. Simple, striking and definitely stylish.
Ralph is not the only designer who has taken us on an exotic journey this season – we had a global jet setter with eclectic tastes at Tory Burch, while at Diane von Furstenberg we saw the wardrobe of a 70s inspired heiress on a trip to Rome. That mood of escapism, glamour and exoticism is certainly one to keep in mind as we head to Europe.
Top Face: Karlie and Joan making up the dream team once again.
Best Look: The tailoring was particularly strong – there were even Scarface-sque looks for all you Tony Montana fans out there.
Vibe: Spanish Rose meets Uptown Chic.

I had the s2 gear in there for a while... with 2.3 I took it out because it was inconsistent with my categorizing protocols. I'll add it again soon, with the rest of the ZA loot, once I figure out the specifics. It shouldn't take more than a few days.
Added s2 and Zul'jin loot. s2 is compared with the t5 instances.

I think that's the complete list, including ZA. However, there are always odd items from strange places I forget about, like the BoE ring listed above, or the DW/DLK loot. Please, if there's an item you think I've neglected, let me know.
I didn't expect to find another one so quickly...
Rep [item]Strength of the Untamed[/item] 597.34 | 1.9% | 2.22%
Quick question:
Since you list the Warbringer/Destroyer/Onslaught tanking set pieces, could you do the same with Justicar/Crystalforge/Lightbringer tanking set pieces too?
This guide is actually very helpful for me as a noob tankadin as well.
I haven't included any Pally gear, since admittedly the primary home of this list is my guild's Warrior forums. I'll post the pally sets here in a little while, after I work out the numbers.
If I compare Faceplate of the Impenetrable and Onslaught Greathelm in regards of CB immunity, the Faceplate should be better. Both items have the same sockets. If you compare them without sockets:
13 def
2.01% dodge
3.68% block
15 def
0.9% dodge (Agility)
3.8% block
- Faceplate of the Impenetrable is better in regards of CB imunitiy. As you can put the same sockets in both items, that wouldn't change when socketing. Am I missing something?
Faceplate: 4.51 | 9.02
Greathelm: 3.54 | 8.28
It seems I miscalculated the values on both of them. Hopefully this isn't indicative of a larger problem with my calculations; I'll do some checks on my data.
Edit: thanks for picking this up

BkT [The Seeker's Wristguards] 937.04 | 1.05% | 4.95%
This seems a little awry. Perhaps you forgot a 1 in the EH evaluation of The Seeker's Wristguards?
Arc [item]Elementium Band of the Sentry[/item]
Ins [item]Elementium Band of the Sentry[/item] 530.97 | 2% | 2.34%
BkT [item]The Seeker's Wristguards[/item] 1886.52 | 1.05% | 4.95% (EH was incorrectly calculated)
Since adding that last ring, [item]Ring of the Dreadnaught[/item] has been kicked off the avoidance list... however, I'm keeping it here because I like it.
Also, I've added block values to the list, in parentheses after the EH, since it's more of a mitigation stat than an avoidance one. (Unless of course the mob hits for less than your BV).
PvP [item]Vengeful Gladiator's Shield Wall[/item] 8164.01 (167) | 0 | 0
Updated: a hell of a lot. It seems I've been accidentally miscalculating avoidance the whole time. It's been resolved. The differences?
-Agility is now ~26% more effective than it appeared before this update
-Parry is very slightly less effective, not enough that it would make any real changes.
The agility update did shift a few items around, though. Check the list to make sure your favorite items still have nice high green/red numbers!

Jan 31, 2013A band of renegade scientists are joined by members of the Weyland Corporation to explore an uncharted planet that may hold the key to our creation, but the biological remains left behind by the world's previous inhabitants will pose a deadly threat that may instead mark the end of existence! Ridley Scott returns to the Science Fiction genre in a major way with PROMETHEUS, a spiritual prequel to the 1979 classic ALIEN. PROMETHEUS falls very closely in line with the look, feel, and overall mood of the original ALIEN, following a similar structure that includes many familiar characters and settings. Where the two diverge is in their actual storytelling techniques. ALIEN tells a simple yet effective story that comes to a conclusive end after the rising tension found in the first and second acts. The unavoidable plot holes that frequent PROMETHEUS raise more questions than answers every step along the way, leaving the audience to question the writers intentions more so than the grandiose theological discussions that are being proposed. If one thing is for certain, however, it is that Ridley Scott has lost none of his command over this visual medium, creating a mind-blowing display of visual effects that take us well into the next century and beyond the farthest reaches of space. With the suspension of disbelief held high, PROMETHEUS can surely be enjoyed as an epic space adventure in search of far greater meaning amongst the stars.… Expand
Jun 9, 2012Fantastic visuals. Great acting. Doesnt answer the main questions it ask but whos to say it had to? One of the best Sci-fi movies in a LONG time. Best IMAX movie ive ever seen!
Jun 9, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was dragged to cinema the other day and since I was dragged there I was told I can choose what we watch. I chose Prometheus, I saw the advert a few days before and thought it looked alright, so we went in (having to sit row) and I molded myself to my seat ready for a what I expected to be a mediocre sci-fi film. I was utterly mistaken, for me Prometheus is one of the best films I have seen all year. It was thought provoking and thoroughly enjoyable, the film did provide a few parts that made me jump and a few parts that where extremely gory and gritty (including a cesarean to remove an alien baby). The characters where great, especially Micheal Fassbender's character, David, an android with intense loyalty to his creator. It was fantastic to see how the different characters from different backgrounds react to meeting there creators, it ended with everyone dead but two characters, one of whom was missing his body. It was defiantly a great film and I would thoroughly recommend it to any cinema goers. My favorite film of the year.… Expand
Jun 10, 2012My friend and I saw this movie with low expectations after reading many negative reviews and we were blown away by how awesome this movie was. I would recommend watching the original alien up until where they explore inside the alien ship before seeing Prometheus. It helped us enjoy the movie that much more. Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace had the best characters in the movie IMO. Here is my checklist of why I loved this movie.. Very good cinematography, the best CGI and visual affects to date, alien references, tense scenes that keep you on the edge of your seat, and finally this is just an awesome sci-fi movie. Prometheus had its flaws however as other reviewers have pointed out. If you go into this movie with high expectations you will be let down. The movie raised more questions than answered. There is little character development and over all the script could have been better. I would definitely recommend seeing this movie. Just go to be entertained.… Expand
Jun 14, 2012I usually like to let the movie take me where it wants to. However after reading the bad reviews I had my doubts whether to spend my $ 13 at all. I am glad I took the advice to see it in the theater. Special effects audio, and visuals were outstanding. I was prepared to be disappointed by the movie as a whole and yes, character, storyline and ending left something to be desired if I were to criticize them. That being said the WOW factor of Prometheus is undeniable. Too ambitious for its length of two hours it did seem disjointed and confusing for those unacquainted with the Alien films. Full of philosophy and homages to other films (the Alien series obviously, but also to 2001, the Thing remake etc) it had me absorbed during and ruminating after viewing. I kept the criticisms in the back of my mind while watching and let the director do his thing and thoroughly enjoyed where he took me. Obviously there were compromises in the production of the film probably foisted on him by the studio (most notably running time constraints) that prevented him from plot and character development (who knows what wound up on the cutting room floor), but for a sci-fi fan there really is no disappointment in this film. Leave the overthinking till after the movie's over. Prometheus IS a worthy prequel but probably will not be considered a classic sci-fi stand alone film. It should be viewed by all sci-fi fans in the theater. and judged on its merits, not its deficiencies. If you have an open mind it won't disappoint.

Jun 15, 2012Unanswered questions and a watcher's ignorance do not spell plot holes. I start with this statement for the simple fact that after a week of pondering the symbolism and theological ramifications that Prometheus set down on the screen, I decided to see what others had gleamed from the Alien prequel. What i found was a deeply intelligent discussion peppered by "I don't understand and so it was stupid" comments. Not every movie is meant for every audience member and I do understand that, but a true fan of the series might want to do a little research before stewing out bile. Don't understand the beginning scene, the motivations of the characters, or how intense terror can cause someone to act irrationally? Try finding an answer! The fact that every writer must dumb down their vision to spoon feed the masses is outrageous. the "From Clay to Fire" thesis was a great read and gave but one explanation to the events that unfold in Prometheus. When dealing with a dead race there are always questions...to this day many arguments exist on a wide range of subjects about long dead cultures here on earth. To think one movie should unravel the mysteries of the universe and spread it paper-thin for all to behold is asking a bit much even for Hollywood. Prometheus gave us a brief glimpse into man's eternal struggle to craft god into our own image and I, for one, was grateful for the experience.… Expand
Jul 14, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite some minor flaws, this got to be one of the best recent movies from Ridley Scott and a good welcome-back for the director to the science-fiction genre. It felt like a big puzzle for me, each piece being shown during the movie and only in the end (with a very clear reference to one of his previous movies) it falls in place. There are a few details missing which I expect to see addressed in the sequel.
The important things you must know about this movie:
1- You have to pay close attention to the movie, otherwise you'll miss several links in the plot.
2- There's a central theme on this movie which you can only recognise if you're well aware of what Evolution truly means.
3- Not absolutely necessary to watch Alien trilogy, but I recommend it. Particularly the first movie.… Expand
Jun 29, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are no jump-out scares (or any that comes out of the screen when watching the 3D version) but there is a hell lot of suspense! Expect blood and gore aplenty and some very disturbing images.… Expand
Jul 2, 2012Loved it, left more questions than answers, despite formulaic sequencing from the original Alien and some heavy handed characterizations it was a great ride.
Jul 5, 2012This movie was excellent - I watched the alien series before watching Prometheus and I have to say this movie at least matched the tension of the first 2 alien movies. I have to warn you though, this movie is not for the weak of stomach - I completely understand if you hated this movie (I feel most love it or hate it). The last 3/4 of the movie are extremely tense throughout, with viewers constantly on the edge of their seats. And although the tension is what the movie rides on, the movie also poses some deeper philosophical questions about the origin and point of life. The acting was superb, especially Michael Fassbender's portrayal of an android, and the special effects were great. For the sci-fi genre, Prometheus is simply epic.… Expand
Jul 9, 2012FANTASTIC! I was 7 when alien came out! I stayed deep in the country and there was nothing out there but dark starry nights. I loved STAR WARS, who didnt! It was sooo exciting and made me really believe thatthat there was something fantastic going on out there in space. Im no trekky,although I did and do love star trek. But when ALIEN came to the movies in my lil town it was the most talked about thing amongst the older kids. I had to see it cause I thought that I would be taken to fun exciting adventure.BOY WAS I WRONG! It seemed so real because the actors were normal people doing normal things. But it was dark and more scarier than my imagination has ever gone! The Alien was TRAUMATIZING! I couldnt sleep for 3 years! But when my cousins finally explained to me that by the alien being blown into space and space had killed it and that it wasnt gonna fall to earth I was ok. NOT! Then I started to wonder where did they come from and what was that other alien doing driving a space ship? Im 39 now and for all those years RIDLEY MADE MY DREAM COME TRUE! I just dont wanna have to wait 30 more yrs to REALLY KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM!!!! Thank u for introducing them to me RID OLE BOY! U R TRULY A VISISIONARY! NO OTHER SPACE MOVIES HAVE EVER CAME CLOSE!!!!!… Expand
Jul 10, 2012Best I've gone to this year, and really one of the best movies of all time. In 3D, I witnessed the best visuals I've ever seen in a movie, far exceeding Avatar. The mix of action, suspense, intrigue, amazing technology, sexy female butts, and being related to and expanding upon the Alien series is the full package. Furthermore, it provokes viewers to constantly think about their beliefs of our origin, our knowledge of the universe, and the ultimate questions of what reality even is. I cannot wait to see the sequels, which will have even more action and full scale warfare (like Alien vs Aliens). Loved it!!… Expand
Jul 10, 2012Prometheus, the (almost) prequel to the Alien trilogy, is great. Damon Lindelof, co-creator, producer, and writer for Lost, wrote a great movie, really brought to life by the cast and Ridley Scott. Noomi Rapace is just FANTASTIC as Shaw, the protagonist, and the supporting cast does a great job too, including Michael Fassbender as the artificially maniacal David, Idris Elba as the womanizing and reassuringly sane Captain Janek, and Charlize Theron as the self-serving and all around b-word Meredith Vickers. While it may be a bit complex and convoluted at times, it is really enjoyable, and like Alien, has an edge-of-your-seat freakiness. Aside from the various excellent superhero offerings 2012 has to offer, Prometheus is this year's best Sci-fi flick yet.… Expand
Jul 15, 2012I had to make an account here when I saw all the negative reviews. To really understand the movie's subtle plot points, you have to be a fan of the Alien film series. First, the scientists taking off their helmets: these guys have just discovered the people who created them. They are really not thinking rationally, they just want to get answers, no matter the cost.
The guy petting the alien snake: he was seriously stoned at the time. Seriously, he was smoking weed in his suit mere minutes before.
The pod being designed for males: it was built specifically for Weyland. Putting it in Vickers' room was a cover.
Shaw running minutes after surgery: it is clearly shown that she is in great pain while doing this, but she is managing to power through because she knows that if she doesn't , everything will go to hell. Add in that medical technology has significantly advanced in the future, and it makes sense.
Vickers running forward from the ship instead of left or right: well, OK, that was a stupid move.
Finally, the connection to Alien: the ships in the film were the same model, but not the same ship. The ship in Prometheus was carrying canisters of a black fluid to be used as a biological weapon. The fluid, when ingested, causes two things: it affects the host's mind and body negatively, and it causes a larva called a Trilobite to form. Dr. Holloway ingested the fluid, and while he was having sex with Shaw, the larva transferred itself from Holloway to Shaw. Shaw removes the Trilobite with the pod, and decontaminates it, putting it into a state of paralysis that she mistakes for death. Meanwhile, it grows to a huge size because it was designed to, being the product of a bioweapon. Once Shaw and the Engineer came to the shuttle it was trapped in, it broke out and facehugged the Engineer; the Trilobite is the ancestor of the Facehuggers. Once the Proto-Xenomorph bursts out (it looks different because it came from an Engineer), it presumably goes on to become the first Queen, spawning new Xenomorphs. This probably gained the attention of the other Engineers, who collected a bunch of eggs and put them in a ship to use as weapons. One of the eggs hatched, all hell broke loose, the ship crashed, and then the Nostromo found it in Alien.
See, it makes sense if you use your brain a bit.… Expand
Nov 23, 2012I liked this movie a lot. I was initially a bit shy mainly because of the lower rating on this site, but bought it on amazon instant video on sale, and watched it. It was very well made, acting was spot on, beautiful visuals and effects, and the plot was excellently written. I got a bit nervous part way through that the movie was going to leave me hanging, but it did a great job giving answers. They left it open for a sequel, which I hear is coming in 2014. It would likely be a bit more challenging to follow if you weren't familiar with the Alien movie and it's sibling movies, but being that I am, and find that universe interesting, this movie was an intriguing addition. The makers seem to have gone out of their way to separate themselves from Alien but there was definitely a strong connection. It wasn't a direct prequel, but certainly in the same universe. Nice job Ridley Scott. I look forward to the sequel.… Expand
Aug 10, 2012Gaping plot holes aside, "Prometheus" is grand in every sense of the word, as it's visually stunning, expertly acted, and raises interesting questions about the importance (or lack thereof) of life. Fassbender and Theron deliver impressive performances from a script ripe with metaphors and interesting juxtapositions.
Oct 4, 2012One of the best sci-fi movie since Alien...In a word: spectacular! Actors, screenplay, director, photography...a perfect mix. I recommend it to all lovers of science fiction
Dec 7, 2012I cannot recall another film, recently or in the past, that I've watched and felt such utter contempt for, afterwards. "Prometheus" was a stunningly bad film to have to sit through. Inexplicably confusing from the very beginning, and then it immediately proceeds to become lackluster, boring, and more and more implausible. The relentless stupidity of the witless script and cardboard characters that pervades this film as it ponderously moves forward to it's half-baked "conclusion" (which is only a lead-in to more of this rubbish) is laughably noticable, but you'll feel like crying in frustration when this mess is finally over.
Terrible film, simply appalling in every aspect. The characters? Fassbender's performance is drawing raves, but he's acted in better productions, and been far more magnetic than his chilly, repellant "David" character. Rapace is unappealing, Theron plays a wooden ice-block, the rest of the cast is forgettable, expendable, un-engaging. The story? A cross btw. "Mission to Mars," von Daniken's "Chariot of the Gods," and an "Alien" sequel directed by Uwe Boll. The visuals? The natural scenery was nice to look at, but the sets and effects were un-inspiring. ineffectual, unecessary to the plot, or downright silly. Often the camera barely focused on anything for more than a few seconds, as if to say "Oh, it's a giant, stupid looking head. Moving on folks, if you'll look off the starboard bow..." And for $130,000,000 what did people expect, "Dogville?" (This chalk-line represents the alien ship, this one a Xenomorph, etc.) Not a film for discerning movie-goers, of any genre. Anyone who thoroughly enjoyed "Moon," "Sunshine," Soderbergh's "Solaris," or even "Galaxy Quest" I believe will be stunned by how poorly executed and just plain bone-headed this film is to watch. I give this film a "10 out of 100" here only for the beautiful Icelandic scenery, and folks, that truly is all that's worth seeing here. The only questions anyone should be asking themselves after sitting through this is, "How could I have been mis-led into believing this was going to be an interesting film (in the very least) when all it is, is a shlocky, lavishly expensive, Saturday afternoon Grade-B action flick w/ fuzzy science and fuzz-brained leaps of logic?" I know I feel like a sucker for having watched this even once. Shame, Mr. Scott. Shame, Mr.'s Spaihts and Lindelof. SHAME ON YOU ALL!… Expand
Jan 18, 2013I like this movie a lot. Its the new version of Alien. I don't see Alien so i don't know how he is or Alien is better, I like the story and I like the cast, especially Michael Fassbender.
Feb 3, 2013Best sci-fi film in years. People accusing the film of having plot holes...sorry no. Plot holes are some of those things The Dark Knight Rises is full with (as much as I love that film too). There are not any here. There are some absurd actions coming from the characters if you want. But it ends there. Of course people who don´t like to think won´t like this. The 2 hours feel shorter, the idea of the film (humanity origin) is magnificent and so interesting and disturbing. The tension is present throughout the film. Some scenes are memorable. David´s character is so great and the actor does such a great job. And one last thing which helps to make you feel the experience: the special effects are Mind-blowing. One of 2012´s bests if not the best. The oscar nomination in that category is well-deserved. Big production with a brain. Great stuff… Expand
Apr 4, 2014Wow this is depressing....6.5? really? Is the general populace really this stupid? This movie requires you to actually think a little. The very first scene of the movie is key. It's a 1 minute scene followed by the most gorgeous 1080p visuals I have ever seen on an BD. If you don't understand what that scene was about, then you obviously don't deserve to review the movie (watch the deleted scenes if you can't figure it out). I get why people are disappointed or mad about this movie. It has little to nothing to do with the actual aliens franchise. It's not trying to bridge gaps in the aliens movies. The movie is a separate entry that happens to take place in the aliens universe. The entire story revolves around a single question: How and why were we created?
Now notice that such a question has nothing to do with the 4 previous alien movies. I think this movie is a masterpiece. I don't hand out 10's to offset other people's scores. The movie deserves the 10 I give it here today. It is a visual marvel. The actors, all no name actors, just blew everyone away and made a name for themselves with this movie (the lead characters in particular did legendary jobs).
I don't know what else to say to convince you that this movie is a work of art. Everyone should give the movie a chance. If you don't understand it....you don't understand it. If you don't understand it...you might not like it. You have to think. You have to draw your own conclusions some places....the movie doesn't give you all the answers. Thus my original question: Is the general populace really this stupid?… Expand
Mar 26, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went into this movie without expecting much but I was truly surprised by how entertaining it was. Personally, I thought it was alright when nothing bad was happening but when everything started to go wrong and people started dying, it started to get entertaining! When they finally met one of the "Engineers", that scene was unexpected. Michael Fassbender was brilliant as David and the final chest-burster scene was a great start off to the Alien franchise. Go watch Prometheus if you know what's good for you!… Expand
Jul 2, 2012This is a symbolist movie of Manichaean horror in outer space. It is about finally facing off with a corrupt Demiurge that created mankind in a corrupt state using stolen tools, stolen fire--yet still the spark of the divine resides within us (Shaw will soon discover this). This is the kind of film where you take away from it exactly what you bring to it. A complete understanding requires some particular mythological knowledge, that of ancient Babylon, Zoroastrianism, and the Persian flavor of Gnostic Christianity called Manichaeism that was popular at the height of Rome. If you have read in these subjects, the meaning of the film is illuminated plainly. Prometheus is brilliant, unexpected, and nearly perfect in every aspect save one: accessibility. This film is a nut to crack. It is not Transformers or Battleship. It is art. And it is amazing.… Expand
Jun 10, 2012There are a few haters out there. and i can't understand why?! Besides the reason of "It didn't have many references to Alien or it wasn't as good as Alien." Prometheus was a excellent film and although it is a prequel to Alien (Somewhat) its a damn good stand alone movie. Did it have a few flaws umm maybe one or 2. but as a package the movie was fantastic. The acting was decent, noomi rapace was pretty good, charlize therone was decent being a **** again (Snow White). Idris elba was the ships captain again decent acting nothing major. As For everybody else i felt they were fillers their acting was decent and for small roles you didn't need much acting. The standout actor in this movie is Michael Fassbender he steals the show! his acting was superb and his character was definitely the most interesting. while watching this movie i honestly didn't care much about the other characters than i did about David (fassbenders character). And while fassbender really wasn't a "Main" character he was a supporting character who actually turns out to be a main one he definitely has a huge role and is one of the main reasons for watching this movie. The story is simple 2 archeologists along with the prometheus crew go to another planet in search for their creators (human like aliens) and they do find them! and **** hits the fan (people start dying etc. etc.) definitely a good movie i don't wanna spoil anything but it is a good time, it is a great movie, it looks fantastic beautiful movie, i really have nothing bad to say about this movie GO WATCH IT!… Expand
Jun 14, 2012I saw Prometheus last week and it was pretty good. When Mr. Ridley Scott came back after hiding away for a little while, he wanted a film that is not an "Alien" prequel and discover the secrets beyond a mysterious vessel unlike any other. The film was incredible and Noomi Rapace (her hair looked the same as Ripley in the original Alien) was incredible. I also praised Michael Fassbender's role as David because he's more like a arrogant and sometimes humble gentleman, but he's more of a robot-like clone from "I. Robot." But the height and sounds of the movie gives you enough adrenaline, your heart pumps, and your feet is shaking as you go into a terrifying and explorational feeling you might can expect from both James Cameron and Ridley Scott. I've heard Prometheus is gonna be out on Blu-Ray sometime in the fall of 2012, but I'll save my money. From now on, I have to see this again.… Expand
Jun 15, 2012I thought this was a brilliant movie. Great acting, intriguing and original story line and stunning visuals. I'm quite surprised it's copped a lot of flack
Jun 10, 2012Entertaining, with a plot that leaves a lot unanswered for, seemingly, a reason. The film sets itself up great as we slowly are absorbed into its world. As the film goes on, the mood changes and the final scenes had me on the edge of my seat. Sure, the plot is as full of holes as swiss cheese, and Ridley Scott seems to throw a new idea into the mix about ever other scene then completely abandon it, but I can't help but feel that I have been incredibly engaged and immersed by this film. If you can get past its "hush-hush" attitude about 50% of the core plot material, you will definitely enjoy yourself.… Expand
Jul 22, 2013Me encantan las peliculas de ciencia ficcion, ahora se relaciona con los origenes de Alien, tiene buenos efectos especiales, reparto etc...
Que no tiene sentido la historia? pues por eso se llama ciencia ficcion, no se pongan tan payasos..
Jul 17, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What I thought of Prometheus (I wish I had the energy to write a full-length review), posted elsewhere: Well, I'll be the contrarian about Prometheus - I loved it. I thought the opening moments of the film were provocative and mysterious. I got what it meant but did it really mean what I thought it did? There are no answers in this film, though the lead female scientist (Noomi Rapace as Elizabeth Shaw) becomes dogged about getting some. We are left to come up with our own. It sort of combined the naivete and passion for exploration of the early episodes of Scott Bakula's Star Trek: Enterprise with an ever-growing sense of dread. The goofiness of Rapace and Marshall-Green as Elizabeth & Charlie, the "love you baby" science couple is the innocent/naive quotient. And the moment you meet David, the android who has a penchant for looking/sounding like Peter O'Toole, you know this can't end well, knowing the history of androids in the Alien films. But the best thing about the film, beyond being beautiful to look at (I did not see it in 3-D and it was gorgeous) and intriguing enough for me to shuffle through the hallways of my mind re the earlier films, was to take that "ET phone home" nonsense about our space seed fathers being benign, loving aliens and turning it 180. I take it that most of the criticism directed at the film is by fan boys (sorry, I know y'all are passionate folks) who wanted another "Alien" horror film. While there are some extremely tense scenes (it's rated R for a reason), this film is also grand and filled with wonder in the old-style sense of what science fiction films used to be. And that's what did it for me. I would have given it a 10 but shaving off 1 point for somewhat weak character development (particularly of the supporting variety).… Expand
Jun 11, 2012just saw prometheus, don't believe the reviews it was great but it differed from the core ideas of alien and that's what is throwing some people off
it was more of a dramatic sci-fi film like say, 2001 (although not as meaningful or cryptic) that tied up a few loose ends provided by alien (but not all of them, it was set on a different planet after all)
it explained the space jockey, the birth of the alien race and it set up a rough idea for how the events of alien were set up
a lot of the characters weren't quite up to the gritty, rough and really "human" ones shown in alien and aliens, but michael fassbender was amazing as david and the way he interacted with people along with a good steady progression of plot points and information given really made this film
the effects were really neat, although as I've said numerous times before I hate 3D for the stupid gimmick it is even when it's used to its fullest potential (see like, avatar, I suppose) but in this it was really inappropriate and there were only a few moments were I was even aware it was in 3D
overall: don't expect a film that captures the same feel of alien, because that's not what it's trying to be, but the characters and good story really make it worth seeing… Expand
Jun 9, 2012Excellent move and well worth the time. At first I was confused, but once the movie got going, it completely explains a part of where the "Space Jockey" and alien creatures came from. It starts out slow, but if you hang with it you will thoroughly enjoy watching the entirety.
Can't wait for the next one.
Dec 9, 2013Prometheus' visuals are absolutely stunning. The often mentioned plot holes in Prometheus can be explained away if you're willing to dig deep enough-and for me- certainly didn't detract from the film in anyway.
Jul 1, 2012Loved it so much. The scenes were beautiful specially in the beginning and I loved the aliens ship. The creatures were awesome. The acting was ok but Michael Fassbender was awesome. The 3D was just an extra.
Jul 5, 2012A sublime sci-fi adventure ahead of its time. The only real fault with this film is not over-reaching, but reaching in too many directions all at once. A flawed gem, but a valiant step forward for the genre. Leaves many unanswered questions which will frustrate the impatient, but lays the foundation for a promising continuation of its own, which will captivate the imaginative.
Oct 26, 2012This movie requires suspension of disbelief, and an open mind. If you watch Prometheus with the right mind set, you're in for a treat. If you're expecting an outright Alien sequel, you'll probably be disappointed. The script isn't the best and there are plot holes galore. Some of the holes are there on purpose and some are just odd missteps. No matter, this is a Ridley Scott feast for the eyes and sci-fi cinema fan. I enjoyed the movie on a second viewing even more than the first thanks to the wealth of deep analyses and thought provoking insights found all over the web. View Prometheus with a very open mind and you'll most likely be rewarded with an excellent sc-fi flick!… Expand
Oct 27, 2012There are a couple of reviews underneath that give this film a score of zero?They must have watched a diffrent film to me.If you want an excellant action/suspense film that with another 2 more films(IMO)that will tie it up nicley too the original Alien film if the sequals live up to this installment then you can't go wrong with this intelligent Sc-fi blockbuster!
Dec 5, 2013This is a really great movie simpliy put and if you have half a brain and use it to think you won't have a problem understanding this movie at all.....
Jul 15, 2013A solid film and possibly one of my favourite Sci-Fi films out there. It's rather slow paced but certainly picks up when it needs to. Stand-out performance would have to be Michael Fassbender but Noomi Rapace is a strong female lead, and Charlize Theron is always spot on with playing a villain role. It held my interest throughout and had an interesting storyline and concept, and peaked at the right times. Overall pretty impressive stuff and those that like the genre won't be disappointed.… Expand
Apr 20, 2013I really feel that this may have flaws but i wont accept people getting a ZERO 0 for this film so i ll get it a 10/10 although it may have some flaws etc the basic concept, back round and fantasy behind this movie is outstanding.
May 28, 2013This a great prequel to the Alien franchise! Sure hope that Ridley Scott's sequel to this is any better and we finally get to see our favorite killing machines!
Oct 17, 2014Prometheus my raise more questions then answers, however this is the best si-fi we have had sense Alien, it delivers on all cylinders. The excellent story, script and top acting, will satisfying majority of Alien Fans. Although its not the expected action packed movie we are now use to, it provides the views with more variety and complexity. Prometheus is one of the best prequels I have personally seen, and I cannot wait for the sequel!… Expand
Jun 22, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Prometheus starts you off with a beginning similar in mystery and wonder to that of the liking toward Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, but on a much larger scale. Throughout the film, you are to encounter an amazing usage of set design and digital effects that are far beyond many other movies seen today. The excitement peaks multiple times throughout the movie with a creepy, dark science feeling in between. Prometheus isn't just your average Sci-Fi horror flick, but an outside and adventurous journey to an alien world where mistakes ARE catastrophic. Though it is within the Alien and Aliens universe, this movie could very well stand alone as it's own masterpiece. The environment of the movie is so controlled but, yet it is free from any enchained mind, making it just as chaotic, if not more perilous than the other films. Prometheus is a keen breed of new and heavy hitting Science fiction-Adventure films that are rare to find these days, making it one of the most unique and awesome pieces of cinema to date.… Expand
Sep 26, 2013I write this perfect-scored review knowing that it probably won't mean anything amongst the massively divided sea of critical opinion but I feel I must share my truly honest opinion. I have been a hardcore Alien fan for ages, as well as a serious devotee to Ridley Scott, so needless to say I was one of the countless swept up in the hype-hurricane surrounding this films development.
I guess what sets me apart from most is that I witnessed a film that actually exceeded my pipe-dream level expectations.
I'll admit that I was skeptical if ANY film could potentially rival the utter brilliance of the 1979 masterpiece. What I was not prepared for was a film that not only did the original perfect justice but proved that it could be redefined.… Expand
Nov 21, 2013Great film in my opinion, the only way my opinion will change is if the follow ups don't link it properly to the original story line.
Visually stunning, well written not perfect, but nothing is and well executed in general.
I loved the original Alien film, liked the other films too. I don't understand what people's problem with Prometheus was. Among the plot holes suggested was them sending stupid scientists personally I thought that the fact that they were hand picked by a multi-billionaire who was quite clearly as mad as a badger explained that quite nicely.… Expand
Jun 18, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's strange... I came away from the cinema unable to contain my upset at the way prometheus teased its plotline through scenes of horror action topped by the aliens fan in me nagging on the fact scott didn't just cast lance henrikson to reprise his role as weyland and make it all canon to the other films.
Yet on a later viewing I found myself looking past such filmic foibles able instead to enjoy the wonder of artwork going on and appreciating its pace, timing and its finer details like the wonderful creature effects (mainly the translucent engineer skin wow). Still complete sequel bait asking and answering very little about its universe (apart from the engineers revealed as malevolent weapons manufacturers rather than space zoo keepers as i'd originally hoped).
Fact is I still find myself imagining this universe all over again and that gives me naive hope for the next movie. 9/10… Expand
Nov 10, 2014I don't understand why people are so negative towards this movie. I felt like it was a great prequel to the Alien franchise and was well done. I enjoyed the themes in the movie and I am very excited to see Prometheus 2
Oct 7, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the greatest science fiction films of all time that deals with the most important themes such as our origins, how did we get here, who created us, the search for eternal life, archaeological messaging, the danger of making contact with extra-terrestrial, a future threat to our existence, the use of an alien species as weapons of mass destruction, human emotions v computer logic...and the list goes on.
I'm actually dumbfounded by the poor reviews this has received and suspect many just don't get it. Absolutely cant wait for the sequel.… Expand
Scott may always have had an eye on the box office, but from "Alien" and "Thelma & Louise" on, he has made women into heroines. In that regard, he's still ahead of the curve. Rapace's scene is a classic of its kind; it tops John Hurt's notorious misfortunes in "Alien."
It's a different sort of experience: a stately, somewhat plodding but endurable science-fiction saga.

HARRISONBURG, Va. -- Walker Manufacturing has laid off 30 workers at its plant in Harrisonburg.
A spokesman for Walker's parent, Tenneco Inc., tells media outlets that the layoffs are due to a drop in demand for products made at the plant.
Mike Alzamora says these products include mufflers, catalytic converters and other vehicle parts. The parts are sold to AutoZone, NAPA Auto Parts and other retail outlets.
He says the company hopes the layoffs won't be permanent.

Well there is a few things to keep in mind: DnD is an AoE damage boost. Heroic Strike is single target. DK'S are alts of 80's and usually come with attitude.
If you ask someone not to do something and they keep doing it, let them die. If they kick you from the group, you can cue again right away instead of waiting 15 minutes for the deserter buff.
Check out Aggathon's prot warrior guide for specs/glyph choices and work off of that. It should give you the best threat possible at your level with appropriate gear. Really, I'd just try to work harder at holding aggro.

Sounds about the same way I have been using my abilities.
I've been messing around with the talent calculator a bit trying to get Impale at 80 with the minimum talent pain.
My choices have been influenced by my experiences with the new talents at 70, with a primary focus on 5-man (normal+heroic) and 10-man level 70 content.
For reference, my current build is:
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
I ditched the parry/dodge avoidance talents (for now) as I don't need them for 70 content in my current gear. At 80 however, I'm pretty sure they will be "must have" again.
I have noticed the following over the last week or so.
1. I'm doing lots of AE tanking.
2. I use Thunder Clap alot.
3. I have lots of rage.
4. I have lots of threat.
5. I use Revenge (glyphed) / Shield Slam whenver they are up.
6. I don't use Sunder/Devestate anywhere near as much as I did.
7. I tend to use Concussive blow and Shockwave as often as possible.
8. I rage dump into Heroic / Cleave.
With this in mind I put together the following build. I thought about how I was actually playing rather than a theoretical best build (although I read all the theorycrafting I could get my hands on too ).
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
The common high-value talents I have sacrificed and the reasons why are:
Puncture: It doesn't feel like the rage saving is as valuable as it was given the high rage I generate, coupled with my reduced use of Devestate.
Sword and Board : The increase to Devestate damage I feel is a minor factor. My gut feeling (not very scientific I know) is also that the extra Shield Slams are slightly less valuable than any of the other places I could free up points. I could keep Sword and Board by stealing 1 point from Improved Spell Reflect and 2 points from Cruelty (but losing crit would make me sad). This build would look like:
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Improved Heroic Strike vs Iron Will: Either works, Iron Will seems good for PvP and so far rage is not a problem.
That's it for me. Comments welcome. Great job on Tankspot, it's a fantastic Tank resource (I'm a long-time lurker).
Sounds about the same way I have been using my abilities.
Some numbers
I used Optimoos excellent Threat Simulator (http://www.tankspot.com/forums/f14/4...simulator.html) to test a few talent variations.
I ran each simulation for 180 seconds using default settings, only changing talent choices and/or crit%. The results are interesting I think.
10% crit
Impale(2/2) = 2415 TPS
S/B(3/3)+Punc(3/3) = 2537 TPS
20% crit
Impale(2/2) = 2662 TPS
S/B(3/3)+Punc(3/3) = 2543 TPS
30% crit
Impale(2/2) = 2999 TPS
S/B(3/3)+Punc(3/3) = 2808 TPS
12% crit - assuming Cruelty(2/5)
Impale(2/2)+S/B(3/3) = 2521 TPS
15% crit - assuming Cruelty(5/5)
Impale(2/2) only = 2549 TPS
Note that AE threat would be increased further by an Impale(2/2)+Cruelty(5/5) build. Also it should be noted that the threat gains from this build are all passive, and as such should be more effective in situations where player response is impaired (such as high lag).
I'm not sure how DPS would be affected, although my gut-feeling (there I go again ) is that an Impale/Cruelty build would scale faster (especially with crit%).
Reaching for impale is all well and good, but not getting SnB is entirely silly. Drop damage shield and either warbringer or a point in shield specialization, and swap those points out of iron will and into HS or even TM. You're really shooting yourself in the foot by making a build whose only purpose can possibly be to maximize damage/threat and not getting SnB. Dropping the points in puncture is also specious, but I can see you getting away with it if you're extremely rage-conscientious.
HS is a good alternative to Iron Will, I'd certainly swap the 2 for PvE if I needed more threat. I'm not a fan of TM however, I've rarely needed to stance dance since 3.0.and swap those points out of iron will and into HS or even TM.
This may be true, but from my experience so far and the numbers theorycrafted in the post above yours, I'm not convinced the decision is as clear-cut as this.You're really shooting yourself in the foot by making a build whose only purpose can possibly be to maximize damage/threat and not getting SnB. Dropping the points in puncture is also specious, but I can see you getting away with it if you're extremely rage-conscientious.
Remember that you have so much rage now mostly because of S&B. Shield Slam is our most expensive ability for tanking and most of the time it is free with this talent.
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft is what I consider all the must-haves. Even though Cruelty isn't really high on that list, you would end up always getting it before Impale anyway because of the 'wasted' arms points on the way up. The last 7 points can either be spent in arms or on some combination of utility talents/maxing out Shield Spec/Puncture.
With the new way that dodge scales, and how easy it is to stack dodge with current gear, alot of warriors had been pushing into nearly druid levels of dodge pre 3.0.
My level 80 build will be thus: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Giving me all the things I need to tank VERY well, and allowing me to have AttT, full ranks in cruelty, and impale.
Dodge is the easiest and best scaling per slot mitigation that warriors have, and I've often found myself swapping out dodge for stam/block, simply to avoid damage spikes and rage issues. Taking smooth damage makes your healers work less, and more efficiently.
With the game moving toward block it seems, I would bet that warriors are gonna wanna be around 40% dodge/parry, maybe more for certain fights, but with crushing blows outta the picture this is not nearly as important. Block = rage for us, block = threat, block = survival.
I've dumped quite a bit of dodge/parry since 3.0, and headed toward the block direction, not ignoring parry/dodge, but favoring block per-se. My healers have commented that I'm easier to heal, their using less mana, and with druid healers, they are even bored. Meanwhile my threat is through the roof, my DPS is always top 5 in 10 mans, and i'm having a blast ^_^
November 23, 2004 8:27:03 AM - Glomgore 10+ Years of tanking? Priceless
Sorry but swapping 1% dodge for 1% block (taking Shield Spec over Anticipation) isn't going to make you easier to heal. It's strictly inferior except for AE tanking, which is already quite trivial.
Rage issues are also a thing of the past. Maybe it will be good to drop avoidance again if you are doing 5 mans in T8+ gear, but for now it's just not an issue.
That is very similar to the build i was thinking about. Except i took points out of rage saving stuff like focused rage and spent them in anticipation. I am a low level warrior comming up so i wont have the gear you guys have when i hit 70. I think i will have to spend some talent points in avoidance to help make up some ground.
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
Last edited by duffmanrc; 10-28-2008 at 06:57 AM. Reason: wrong talent build
I was just working on a build similar to this in which I also took deep wounds at 80 by dropping AttT. With all the crit we are getting why not spec into it and roll deep wounds on the target? Unfortunately the threat simulator does not have this talent in it to run some tests. What do you guys think?
15/5/51 via Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
I noticed three things
a) ur missing 10% avoidance from talents
b) no sword and board
c) no vigilance
A lot of mobs in 5 mans, especially heroics, stun and reduce armor. Thus, when u combine a 3 second stun (where u get NO avoidance thus taking all direct blows) with a couple sunders on your self, your low avoidance and 6 melee mobs beating on u.... i hope u out gear the place which u wont for a while when u hit 80
Sword and Board is a must, cause with most AOE pulls, there is always that one NPC with a lot more health than the rest that u REALLY want to stay on u, such as a champion in ramparts or the destroyers in mechnar. If for example u have a mutilate rogue in ur group (with no aoe), chances are hes going to be on that big guy, cause whats the point of mutilating 6k health mobs when the mage can take care of it in 4 seconds. Thus, while ur dropping thunderclaps and a shockwave to hold those other mobs, u may put out ~4k threat instantly, but that rogue will dish out 4k in no time also. Therefore, u are going to need to be devistating, sundering and shield slaming that mob as much as possible to keep him on you.
On a side note about Sword and Board, with every instance... there is a boss... you dont AOE tank bosses, and ull find Sword and Board can increase ur threat by @ least another 500 to 1000 tps depending on your gear level
Vigilance is the debated move. Personally, i love giving it to my arms warrior buddy and letting him go loose, especially since he has no threat reduction abilities. Moreoever, the 10% threat i get from him for those few seconds he bladestorms, gives me more than enough to over ride the mage or boomkin in the group when coupled with thunderclap, cleave and shockwave
This is the build im using
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
you get 1 more talent pt to do w/e with, havent really decided yet
I prefer Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft if I have to get Impale.
Devastate is still the move we default to when we have nothing else on the program, and the more rage reduction on it, the better.
ಠ ,ಠ
Dovie'andi se tovya sagain - it's time to roll the dice
while i like the idea of getting improved heroic strike, definitely usefull pre 3.0, its no longer needed. Moreoever.. with revenge being so powerfull for 2 rage... imp revenge is a must, exspecially since it destroys heroic strike and devistate in threat by miles
If u use these 2 Major glyphs - along with this spec Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft :
Glyph of Heroic Strike (when u critically hit with heroic strike u gain 10 rage)
Glyph of Revenge (when u use revenge, ur next heroic strike costs 10 less rage)
You will never see ur self rage starved from heroic strike, i find it VERY hard to run out of rage by spamming it if im tanking more than 2 mobs.
In addition, if ur going 110% AOE build.... u would not be using heroic strike ne ways since u will be spamming cleave.... so some cleave glyphs may be usefull is ur still worried about rage... though idk why a warrior would want such a build... my as well re roll paladin
About Deep Wounds, it only helps with single target DPS/TPS and your damage range while tanking will always be low. Might be worth checking the math on it though.
I wasn't taking the 5% block over the 5% dodge, it's simply that way due to tiering, imp bloodrage isn't really needed, in my boss gear I still have nearly 30% dodge, and that's without the moroes trinket. With stacking 5 dodge 7 stam gems, instead of the 12 stam gems, and going for socket bonuses, I found my stats much more rounded, with only a minor loss in HP. You don't really need more than 20-21k hp unbuffed right now, especially with 3.0, and with sunwell radiance gone, along with crushing blows, avoidance isn't as crazily needed anymore. Block is becoming more and more powerful. Even with the dropped dodge, I still find myself getting rage starved at times in 5 mans.
Anticipation becomes less and less powerful the higher your dodge is from gear, due to scaling of avoidance now. It has been stated that it starts to scale badly and other avoidance stats are preferable when dodge starts to get near the 30% mark, hence my reasoning behind dropping anticipation.
It's about personal play style, and that build works the best for me in my current gear level.
Things can always change when LK goes live ^_^
Deep wounds. Hmmm
For any 5 mans, 10 mans, I wouldn't take it. Nothing like trying to sheep a mob only to find out it has a DoT on it. Not to mention I doubt the mob is gonna live long enough for it to help. Remember, warriors are meatshields first, DPS 2nd, and that's really not something I would consider. For a solo build, it may not be a bad idea, but to spec 14/15 points into arms is gonna hurt you elsewhere, especially at 70. IMO You'd get more use outta maxing out cruelty combined with impale before deepwounds would be even worth it.
November 23, 2004 8:27:03 AM - Glomgore 10+ Years of tanking? Priceless
Base dodge (not including dodge from base agility) and talents are not affected from DRs and not included in the calculation. 5% from Anticipation are allways 5%.
The numbers which come from the simulator sound crazy for me. Let's take ideal impale assumptions:
-100% yellow damage
-all threat from damage
-40% average crit over all abilities
In this case the crit part of all damage (in this impale friendly calculation = threat) is 57.14% (42.86% noncrit part) this part of the damage is multiplied with 1.1 (only the Bonus Part is affected from impale!)
This looks for me like a increase of 5.71% if you compare it without impale... And I didn't taken in the calculation that there is still white damage and that there are still abilities with a threat part.
My Conclussion: Impale would be nice if you could get impale without using useless talents but you can not.
Improved Heroic Strike, Improved Charge, Deflection? None of them are useless.
Improved Revenge most likely is better on a pure DPS/TPS standpoint, true, but I avoid the talent because of the stun. While it doesn't affect bosses, it does affect trash, and random stuns are incredibly annoying.
Then again, I'm more likely to have a trash talent build and a boss talent build than a DPS/tanking combination, and I'd get Imp Revenge in the boss build for sure.
The true point of rage reduction doesn't lie in how much rage you save per second. It's when you're rage starved for whatever reason for a few seconds. The cheaper your Devastate, the faster you can use it.
ಠ ,ಠ
Dovie'andi se tovya sagain - it's time to roll the dice
I also disagree about the Revenge stun, I have no issues with it while doing heroics at 70 in full SWP gear. It only gets better at 80 when you do heroics that you don't outgear already.
Deep Wounds is really quite good for raid TPS and DPS, especially if you switch to a slow weapon instead of a fast one. You have a decent crit rate from talents, gain aprox. 11.5% crit if you have a full set of buffs and it's just a big boost. I need to go do some more testing to check if it procs off AE attacks (I'm pretty sure it doesn't work off Damage Shield/TClap/Shockwave crits, sadly) but it'd be worthwhile on bosses.

- This Item: Pali Wendy Collection Forever Crib in Chocolate $554.99 Include This Item
- Threshold Delivery $249.00 Include This Item
Frequently Bought Together
- Excellent quality but scratches easily! Review by Zobot's Mom
We purchased this crib & furniture set a little over a year ago for our first child. I had read some reviews on another website stating that the wood was very soft and it scratched easily, but since I LOVED the style of this set I dismissed those concerns, thinking "we'll just be really careful not to scratch it and it will be ok". That was one of the dumbest thoughts ever to cross my mind! Whether you're a sleep-deprived new parent or a teething one-year-old, there's no such thing as "being really careful" with furniture. The front of our crib and also top edge of the dresser/changing pad were banged & scratched up within the first few weeks from our belt buckles/waistband buttons (there's almost no way to pick the baby up out of the crib or change their diaper without coming in contact with, and potentially scratching, the furniture). And one year later the inside of the crib is all chewed up with little teeth marks!
Aside from the scratching issue, we were actually quite pleased with this furniture. The quality of construction is excellent; it's probably the best in our house (most of our other furniture is from Bassett or other manufacturers in that price range). Some assembly was required but it was straightforward. Adjusting the height of the crib is very easy.
We purchased the conversion rails so the crib can be used as a full-sized bed once our daughter is older. I'm sure the furniture itself will still be in good condition (it will probably last forever), except for the scratching issue. We'll continue to use it at least until she's out of the destructive toddler/little kid phase, but I think the furniture may look too banged up to use through her teenage years. We'll have to see.
We had a great experience with Bambi Baby and would recommend them to others. (We live in TN and ordered online.)
Overall, we have been quite happy with this furniture - except for the scratches. If that doesn't bother you much, then buy a good wood touchup kit and you're good to go! Personally, though, I don't know if I would purchase this again. It's too expensive to scratch so easily.

text: Just wondering if you have a screenshot or wws report of the dps done to downing northrend beasts in heroic 25? I read somewhere that the minimum raid dps for this fight is 5k, would that be a good guideline? In our last attempts we were having trouble getting Gormok down before the jormungars come up, because there was always 2-3 people dcing and then getting back online to find themselves dead due to fires. We're also using 3 tanks for gormok. I think we will be trying the strat where the range/healers with snobolds on them need to run and stack on the melee so that everyone can burn down snobolds asap, while leaving the snobolds on melee to get dpsed by cleaves, lb etc. This is so we'll have more dps on Gormok, although this means we might have the problem of having snobolds alive still when the jormungars spawn..

Spence, PPL: As a utility operating in Pennsylvania's competitive market, we don't have the obligation to build new power plants. Our affiliate, PPL Energy Supply, operates generation, and we have the obligation to make sure the supply is there, but we rely on competitive wholesale markets.
In the next three-to-five years, there's no significant need for more supply. Between the renewable resources that are coming on line and the demand-response programs that are in place, mandated by the state and otherwise, I see plenty of supply to serve our customers' demands in the next three to five years. Frankly, the price signals aren't there to build new generation at this point, except plants that are subsidized, like solar and wind.
On the T&D side of the business, we've got a lot of planning efforts under way, working with various stakeholders in Pennsylvania. We have a $500 million transmission project going across North-Central Pennsylvania, hooking up with Public Service Electric & Gas on the New Jersey side. That's been improved and is getting underway. We'll be ramping up investments in both transmission and distribution in the next few years, probably doubling our T&D rate base in the next five or six years.
Boston, PJM: We do a regional transmission expansion plan at least once a year, and sometimes more frequently at the request of states and FERC, to look at expanding the transmission system to meet the known variables—namely, inter-region load growth and generation that's projected to come on line. The market itself delivers the resource mix, and it's a fairly balanced portfolio.
The 1960s were all about coal. The 1970s and '80s were more about nuclear, and the 1990s through about 1997 were about natural gas. Today, wind is the dominant player. More than half of the resources in our queue are wind power, and it dwarfs the other renewables in terms of new capacity. The largest renewable resource on our system, incidentally, is biomass, mostly waste wood.
Scalable Supply
Fortnightly: What do you view as the most important energy sources to develop over the next 10 years?
Ratcliffe, Southern Company: In Georgia we're attempting to build more natural gas-fired capacity, as well as some biomass conversion and a new nuclear plant. We made a commitment to building new next-gen nuclear units at Vogtle. We're moving through the process of not just thinking about it but actually constructing those units. We spent significant money on excavation and other work that we can do under an early site permit. We expect the units to be operational in 2016 and 2017.
We need new nuclear technology to reduce the carbon footprint, as we know we have to do as a nation. Working with the Georgia Public Service Commission and the state legislature, we've made a huge commitment to nuclear technology, and that will pave the way for others to come behind us. The first
