Your drain is plugged
I found a link that says it should be under the evap coil in the back. I will pull that panel off and see if it is frozen over.
That ice on the evaporator is not from a clog drain in the picture you first posted.Are your door gasket OK?Is the dispenser flap closing?Are all the fan motors working,fan in freezer and fan by compressor working.And does it have that ice on the evaporator again like in the first post or is it just the drain.

How-To: Apply False Nails Like A Pro!
GALLERY >> Apply false nails like a pro
Every time we've tried to apply false nails we've ended up with glue EVERYWHERE! So we got Jenni Draper, whose clients include The Saturdays, Kate Moss, Sadie Frost and Lily Cole to show us how to do them right.
She used [a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Kiss-100-Full-Cover-Active-Oval-Nails_1037715/" target="_blank">Kiss Full Cover[/a] false nails to create an elegant silver and nude look. She gave the nails unusual french tips using silver Kiss Nail Artist polish taking it further up on the fingers at the edges to create a rainbow shape.
Click through our gallery to find out how to get the look.
By Kate Lloyd
Step 1: Prepare your nails
Tidy your cuticles. Use a sponge board buffing block to remove the nails' shine and smooth ridges. Then swipe a little nail varnish remover over the nails to get rid of any dust or oil which can stop the falsies sticking
Step 2: Find the right false nail
Measure the false nails against your nail bed. You want them to fit snugly from wall to wall - any gaps means that they're too small.
Step 2: Find the right false nail
If you can't find a nail that's the right size, go a size up and file down the sides. Make sure you file each side evenly to ensure the nail is not lopsided.
Step 3: Glue!
Hold the tip of the nail and put a few drops of glue on the side that will lie near the cuticle.
Step 4: Stick!
Place the false nail on your actual nail so there's a 5mm gap between the cuticle edge of the falsie and your actual cuticle. Push it backward and downwards towards your cuticle. Lever the nail forwards to stick it down and ensure there are no air bubbles.
Step 5: Shape
Once you're done, the nails should look like this. Time to decide on their shape...
Step 5: Shape
For a pointed shape file from the side to the central tag with a flat nail file. For a rounded tip, tilt the file and use it to flatten the end of the nail.
You can seesaw on false nails so it shouldn't take too long!
Step 6: Paint with a base colour
Once you have your shape, paint your nails with a nude polish. It will dry very quickly on your false nails.
Step 7: Draw the shape you want
Use a silver nail art polish (Jenni used Kiss Nail Artist) to draw the outside edge of your french tips.
Step 7: Draw the shape you want
Jenni's looked like this
Step 8: Fill in the shape
Fill in the shape using the silver polish in downwards strokes.
Step 9: Tidy and top coat
Use nail remover on a small brush to tidy up the tips of each nail and then add a top coat for shine and to make the look long lasting.
The finished look!
And there you have it. Jessica Biel inspired nails!
Step 10: Removing
Soak the nails in acetone to remove them without damaging your own.

One thing though, he's far from offering no raid buffing. He offers all a Frost Spec can, with Imp Icy Talons (equivalent of Windfury totem allowing your shamans to drop other things since it has a 100% uptime in most hands), and Horn of Winter (Strength of Earth equivalent, again, shamans can drop something else).
I can see where he went with the heavy dual-wield buff, getting the third disease to crank BCB procs, he has most of the Frost buffs, along with Killing Machine and HB to get some big splashes that way. It's a nice spec, to be sure, very clever.

Earlier this week, the "Indian Wells virus" dominated the headlines. But this weekend, all eyes were on the skies. Cold, windy and rainy conditions rolled in to challenge the men's semifinals. John Isner and Novak Djokovic managed to get their match in, and it was a huge, crowd-pleasing three-set win for Isner. But just as the men were shaking hands at the net, the first drops of rain began to fall. After a few hours of rain delay, the courts were dry enough for the second semi. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal took the court for their 28th meeting, with swirling winds and ominous clouds overhead. Conditions meant that tennis wouldn't be great, but the crowd didn't mind. There was a short rain delay partway through the match, and then, with Federer serving for the victory, yet another rain delay on match point. This drew a huge round of boos from the crowd, but the umpire had no choice. Five minutes later, Federer rose from his chair, walked to the service line, bounced the ball a few times, and then finished the match with one final serve, an ace.
Indian Wells Friday Quick Roundup
Hawk Hunting Juan Martin del Potro could only laugh today. A challenge he was confident would go his way was not available due to an "internet problem." When that happens, the call on the court stands. Federer's next challenge, which suddenly worked just fine, also went against "delPo." Juan Martin turned his racquet around, aimed it at the replay screen, and fired. When told after the match that Federer had agreed with his first challenge, del Potro laughed and said, "He saw it out also? Don't tell me that!" Though frustrated with the technical problem, del Potro conceded that Federer was outplaying him today and the call was not that important.
Ana Night Like This
Ana Ivanovic's run of bad luck continues. Playing "the best tennis [she] probably played in a very, very long time," Ivanovic got off to a great start against Maria Sharapova Friday night. But a glute strain (initially reported as a hip injury) started hampering her movement halfway through the first set and Sharapova gradually took over the match. Ivanovic requested a medical timeout, explaining later that she could not push off the ground on her serve or backhand. The Serbian tried a few more games, called for her coach, and eventually crossed the net to concede the match, choking back tears while she made a quick exit.
Taking it on the Chin
The second-seeded doubles team of Daniel Nestor and Max Mirnyi took on all 13 feet 3 inches of "Quisner" (Sam Querrey and John Isner) out on Court 2 Friday. Experience and team cohesion are great and all, but when the Americans got together at the net, there weren't a lot of options for the Belarussian-Canadian pair. In the two-set match, there were perhaps only two successful lobs.
Eventually, Mirnyi tried blasting right through the Americans, but Querrey has quick hands and the "underdogs" took out the second-seeded Mirnyi/Nestor, 6-4, 6-2. They'll meet 2010 winners, Nadal and Marc Lopez in the Final tomorrow.
Saturday Sellout
Nadal isn't the only one licking his lips at the prospect of a 28th meeting with rival Roger Federer. Just imagine how thrilled the tournament organizers are that both men won their quarterfinals Friday! While Nadal holds an 18-9 lead in their career head-to-head, Federer has been on a tear, going 16-2 this year (one of the losses was to Nadal in Australia), after closing out 2011 with three consecutive titles, including at the ATP World Tour Finals. After a quiet finish to 2011, Nadal was the Australian Open Runner-up this year, and has been playing well here in Indian Wells. This one looks like a toss-up. Either way, as Nadal acknowledged, "Always are special matches… I am playing probably against the best of the history."
Indian Wells Wednesday Quick Roundup
ONE: Many big names were out on the practice courts early Wednesday AM. The morning's entertainment was provided by the always smiling Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who was cracking up the crowd with his Victoria Azarenka impressions. Azarenka was hitting a couple courts away, and we are not sure if she heard or saw the teasing or not.
TWO: The world No. 1 certainly heard when, during her match later, the crowd began echoing her shrieks. It didn't seem to faze her as she almost double-bageled Aga Radwanska (Final score was 6-0, 6-2). There were a lot of fist-pumping and intense facial expressions, even at 6-0, 5-0, perhaps in response to Radwanska's comments after their match in Doha?I n her post-match interview, Azarenka denied any grudge with Radwanska, but also slipped in a reference to the controversy. "I hope I was a good example of women's tennis," she said with a smirk.
THREE: While Stadium Court was emptying out after Federer's match, admission to Court 2 was standing room only, as Ryan Harrison and Gilles Simon gave the strongly pro-American crowd lots to enjoy as the sun went down. In just under three hours, Harrison gave his fans a racquet smash in the first set, three match points saved in the second, countless long rallies and great shotmaking, but, ultimately, disappointment with a three-set loss. Despite real exhaustion in the longer rallies, Harrison certainly didn't fold. But Simon was better on key points and took the final set, 6-1. Both warriors received a huge ovation from the crowd and Harrison acknowledged their support several times on his way out.

With all eyes on Gangster Squad (and cinemas sold out of tickets), we can't stop going green-eyes at Emma Stone who not only steals the show with her dazzling performance but also wows the big screen with her astonishing beauty looks. In retro 40's get-up, Miss Stone looks a picture of old-school beauty complete with red lips, nails and killer hair up-do's. Urgh, why can't we look like that! Well, actually, with a bit of help and some inspiration from the shows, you can. Luckily, there are plenty of references we can look to from the SS13 catwalks for help with this trend - from coiffuired waves to rich red lips and soft smoky eyes, we've picked out our favourites to help show you how to get the look yourself.
1. Retro Hair
Giorgio Armani; Issa
We spotted some gorgeous 40's hair backstage at Giorgio Armani and Issa and totally fell in love with it. The clean and elegant style of it is exactly what Emma works so well in the film and we saw the pro's creating it on lots of models so were able tos ee how easy it is to do yourself. The key to this is product, and lots of it. First of all a volumising mousse to give the hair a base but then lots of hair gel so that the hair looks almost wet and you can comb it into shape. For something like Cara's look you'll just need to scrape hair back into a tight ponytail before fixing it into place which is a little tricky, but the Armani look is easy to do with the help of some decent gel. Oh and remember to fix the look with a good dose of hairspray.
2. Bold Lips
Burberry; Jason Wu
The other most important beauty look to add to your 40's makeup is a red lip. It's sexy and ulta-flattering and Emma sports a textbook perfect red lip throughout the whole film. Luckily, it works on anyone and as you can see above, no matter what your skin tone, red is a winner. The Burberry models were all made up by makeup artist Wendy Rowe who took inspiration from 1940's icons and chose the controversial red lipstick (the first Burberry have ever used, normally preferring neutral colours) to match the clothes. All that's required is a killer red lipstick and lip pencil to ensure the colour doesn't bleed - MAC and L'Oreal have fantastic shades of both lippies and pencils - and ensure you apply it to moisturised lips that have had a good coat of lip balm.

Clean and tidy! BTW can anyone tell me what add-on can i use to display boss HP on the right under the minimap? The defauld blizzard frame seems to be too small!
Nunally, would you be willing to put up a list of the addons, or at least which raid frames are you using?
If you have Reflux installed it's fairly simple to make a package. You have to make sure you go into the WTC account folder duplicate and remove the personal info. Hoping Reflux will add that feature in the future.
I think I see the following addons:
Grid w/ Clique (clique is a guess)
Satrina's buff frame
- map one. i forget the name
I see someone in the raid has luckycharms (i'm guessing it's not you)

Indeed, an addon list would be nice. Definitely a UI I'd like to try out.
Nunally what font are you using?
Last edited by Savate; 03-28-2011 at 12:35 PM.
I'm thinking ForteXorcist because of the cast/latency bar above the raid frames. But it could be Quartz
I agree the raid timers are probably ORA.
Unit frames might be Pitbull.
Maybe ButtonFacade?
I'm gonna say kgPanels too. I noticed a really thin black line running across the screen on either side of the raid frame box. Just about the middle of the box.
Nunally, no to be nit picky but the 0-5 bar you have over the raid frames doesn't quite reach the right side. Just slightly off-balance.
Otherwise I like this set up a lot!!! Do you use Align?
Savate, thanks for the SexyMap reference.
Timin: the Boss health bar under the map will be part of the Unit Frames. Nunally probably has his focus or focustarget Health set up there.
My healing UI as Holy priest.
Solo out of combat:
25-man raid in-combat:
Buttonfacade: PixelSkin
Left out these addons:
Damn Chat Tabs (remove the tabs from chat like "General" etc)
Grid Mana Bars
TitanPanel Mail, Clock, Durability, Info, Performance and Recount
Might be looking for a new castbar addon.. Feels like Quartz is abit hard to align perfectly sometimes :P
Agro, Renew, Prayer of Mending, Magic Dispell, Disease dispell. But on can't use the bottom of the grid for indicators since mana bars are there :P
So i use upper left corner for Agro, Renew, PoM and upper right corner for magic / disease dispells. I don't use decursive
Shadowed Unit Frames, forgot to add in the list. Sorry, long day for me too .

Florence Welch tweets a shot of her in Jamaica wearing a vintage-look kimono
With the Saint Laurent cemented as a quotidian part of spring summer's style agenda (thanks to a powerful stream of high profile supporters and A-list studded campaigns), and the official start of the festival season signaled by hipster hangout Coachella, there's a good chance that your fashion thoughts may be turning towards the '70s. After all, the most ubiquitous festival looks rely on a Woodstock hippy riff - and Saint Laurent's Hedi Slimane has reinvented boho with spring's billowing chiffon maxis and those instantly recognisable wide-brimmed floppy hats.
But who does this retro look better than anyone outside of the actual decade? Miss Florence Welch, of course. Her stage attire may be dramatic, ethereal and often glitzy, but Flo's off-duty style always nods back to the era of printed suits, platforms, shaggy fur coats and floaty midi dresses.
Master of the Machine has been a tad off radar recently, which is because she's been jetting between recording studios in Jamaica and L.A. But, a rare glimpse here and there will reveal the retro Flo(w) is still going strong.
So, how does she not look like a fancy dress victim? We've deciphered 3 easy peasy ways to nail the 1970s...
1. Add a modern staple:
By wearing skinny jeans to a Vilshenko striped coat, pussy-bow blouse and floppy hat, Welch easily updates a vintage look.
2. Prep-up psychedelic prints:
Flo's array of matchy-matchy printed tailoring from Miu Miu, Kenzo and Moschino step into the future because she's wearing them buttoned up and with a boyish prep-ster vibe with loafers or smart white shirts.
3. Ground the look with black accessories:
There's something softening and subtle about pairing up paisley prints, palazzo pants and silky shirts with strict black accessories.

It's been about three years since Theta Digital released its Compli Blu Blu-ray player. Now, the company is updating the machine, making its first universal player with 3D capabilities.
The new Compli Blu 3D is designed for use with advanced preamp/processors and outboard DACs like Theta Digital's own Casablanca III HD and Generation VIII S3. It also works with any type of disc format, including 3D and 2D Blu-rays, DVD, DVD-A, SACD, HDCD, and much more.
On the audio side, the Compli Blu 3D can handle just about anything, including stereo, up to 7.1-channel high-res PCM, up to 5.1-channel DSD, bitstream or LPCM conversion of Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, and DTS-HD Master Audio.
Other features include Marvell's QDEO processing, DLNA support, a built-in RJ-45 Ethernet port, and a WiFi adapter for streaming Netflix, VUDU, Pandora and more.
"It's simply impossible to build a DAC into a disc player that can compare with the finest outboard units," said Dave Reich, Theta Digital's chief engineer. "Rather than waste money on inferior analog audio circuitry, we removed it to eliminate any possible interference from ground-currents, designed the power supply using a custom toroidal transformer and added RF filtering to reduce any possible noise."
Available in a platinum or ebony color, the Compli Blu 3D also has options for a standard or rack-mount chassis, as well as 117- or 230-volt AC power supplies for use worldwide. Theta Digital is selling the Compli Blu 3D now, with an MSRP of $3,995.

Following on from NewU Fitness First Personal Trainer, this title takes players out of the gym and into a slightly clichéd lakeside landscape for some al-fresco bending and stretching.

The relaxation techniques are good and the video instructions make sense of complicated poses.

BALTIMORE -- A Baltimore man has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of a North Carolina teenager.
Jurors found Michael Maurice Johnson guilty on Wednesday, the third day of deliberations in the trial.
The 28-year- old Johnson was accused in the 2010 slaying of 16-year-old Phylicia Barnes. The teenager from Monroe, N.C., was visiting relatives in Baltimore when she disappeared. Her body was found in the Susquehanna River months after she went missing.
Prosecutors called more than 30 witnesses during the trial. Defense lawyers called one. Johnson did not testify.
Defense lawyers told the jury in closing arguments that prosecutors failed to show a motive.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a persistent opening between two major blood vessels leading from the heart. This normal connection, called the ductus arteriosus, is a necessary part of the baby's circulatory system before birth. It usually closes shortly after the baby is born. However, in some individuals it remains open (patent). When this occurs, it's called a patent ductus arteriosus.
A small patent ductus arteriosus often doesn't cause symptoms or problems and may never need treatment. Untreated, a large patent ductus arteriosus can cause too much poorly oxygenated blood to flow through the heart, weakening the heart muscle and causing heart failure and other complications.
Treatment options for repairing a patent ductus arteriosus include monitoring, medications, and closure by cardiac catheterization or surgery.
Patent ductus arteriosus symptoms vary with the size of the defect and the gestational age of the infant at birth. A small PDA may cause no signs or symptoms, and may go undetected for some time, even until adulthood. A large PDA can cause signs of heart failure soon after birth.
Your doctor may first suspect a heart defect during a regular checkup while listening to your baby's heart through a stethoscope.
A large PDA, found during infancy or childhood, may cause:
Call your doctor if your infant or child:
As a baby develops in the womb, a vascular connection (ductus arteriosus) between two major blood vessels leading from the heart — the aorta and pulmonary artery — is a normal and necessary part of your baby's blood circulation while in the womb. The ductus arteriosus diverts blood from the lungs of the fetus while they aren't being used. The fetus receives oxygen from the mother's circulation. But, the ductus arteriosus is supposed to close within two or three days after birth once the newborn's heart adapts to life outside the womb. In premature infants, the connection often takes longer to close on its own. If the connection remains open, it's referred to as a patent ductus arteriosus.
The abnormal opening causes too much blood to circulate to the lungs and heart. If not treated, the blood pressure in the lungs may increase (pulmonary hypertension) and the heart may enlarge and weaken.
Congenital heart defects arise from problems early in the heart's development — but there's often no clear cause. Genetics and environmental factors may play a role.
Risk factors for having a patent ductus arteriosus include:
A small patent ductus arteriosus may not cause any complications. Larger defects that are untreated could cause:
Pregnancy is often a concern for women born with a heart defect. Most women with a small patent ductus arteriosus can tolerate pregnancy without any problems. However, having a larger defect or having complications, such as heart failure, arrhythmias or pulmonary hypertension, can increase your risk of complications during pregnancy. A woman with Eisenmenger's syndrome shouldn't become pregnant because it can endanger the woman's life.
Anyone with a congenital heart defect, repaired or not, who is considering starting a family should carefully discuss it beforehand with his or her doctor. In some cases, preconception consultations with doctors who specialize in cardiology, genetics and high-risk obstetric care are needed. Some heart medications can cause serious problems for a developing baby and may need to be stopped or adjusted before you become pregnant.
A patent ductus arteriosus may be found while your baby is still in the hospital after birth, sometimes when having tests for other reasons. Your child may also have a PDA discovered later, sometimes because of a heart murmur. You may have an appointment with your child's pediatrician or with a pediatric cardiologist to discuss potential health problems resulting from your child's PDA. If you suspect your child has a PDA or another type of congenital heart disease, make an appointment to see your child's pediatrician to discuss your concerns.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your child's doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For patent ductus arteriosus, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask additional questions that may come up during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Your child's doctor may first suspect your child has a patent ductus arteriosus based on listening to your child's heartbeat. Patent ductus arteriosus can cause a heart murmur that the doctor can hear through a stethoscope. If the doctor hears a heart murmur or finds other signs or symptoms of a heart defect, he or she may request one or more of these tests:
Cardiac computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These tests can be used to diagnose heart problems, usually in adults. A patent ductus arteriosus might be discovered when a cardiac CT or MRI is being performed for another reason. In a cardiac CT scan, you lie on a table inside a doughnut-shaped machine. An X-ray tube inside the machine rotates around your body and collects images of your heart and chest.
In a cardiac MRI, you lie on a table inside a long tube-like machine that produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field aligns atomic particles in some of your cells. When radio waves are broadcast toward these aligned particles, they produce signals that vary according to the type of tissue they are. The signals create images of your heart.
Treatments for patent ductus arteriosus depend on the age of the person being treated.
Open-heart surgery. If medications haven't closed the PDA, and your baby's condition has caused health problems, open-heart surgery may be recommended.
During the surgery, a surgeon will make a small cut between your child's ribs to reach your child's heart and repair the open duct using stitches or clips. After the surgery, your child will remain in the hospital for several days for observation. It usually takes a few weeks for your child to fully recover. Open-heart surgery may also be recommended for adults who have a PDA that's causing health problems. Possible risks include bleeding, infection, a paralyzed diaphragm and hoarseness.
Catheter procedures. Catheter procedures, which are less invasive than open-heart surgeries, aren't an immediate option for premature babies because they are too small. However, if your baby doesn't have any health problems related to his or her PDA, your baby's doctor may recommend waiting until your baby is about a year old to perform a catheter procedure to correct the PDA. After a year, a PDA generally won't close on its own. Catheter procedures tend to have fewer complications and a shorter recovery time than do open-heart surgeries. Catheter procedures can also be used to treat full-term babies, children and adults.
In a catheter procedure, a thin tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel in the groin and threaded up to the heart. Through the catheter, a plug or coil is inserted to close the ductus arteriosus.
This procedure might be done on an outpatient basis, meaning your child probably wouldn't need to stay overnight in the hospital. Complications from catheter procedures include bleeding, infection, or movement of the plug or coil from where it was placed in the heart.
In the past, people who've had a PDA were advised to take antibiotics before dental work and certain types of surgical procedures to prevent an infection of the heart (infective endocarditis).
Preventive antibiotics are no longer recommended for most people with a patent ductus arteriosus. However, some people still need antibiotics, such as those who:
If you've ever been told that you or your child needs to take antibiotics before any procedures, talk with your doctor about whether antibiotics are truly needed.
If you or your child has a congenital heart defect, or has had surgery to correct one, you may have some concerns about aftercare. Here are some issues you may be thinking about:
Because the cause of most PDAs is unclear, there's no specific way to prevent having a baby with a patent ductus arteriosus. However, it's important to do everything possible to have a healthy pregnancy. Here are some of the basics:
If you have a family history of heart defects or other genetic disorders, consider talking with a genetic counselor before becoming pregnant.

While WWE wants to rush the Roman Reigns push, it does not appear that his rumored replacement, Mason Ryan, will be showing up before Wrestlemania 30. The split may still take place before the big event, but the new addition will be saved for afterwards.
One of the ideas being discussed backstage in WWE right now is to have Mason Ryan joining Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in the Shield whenever the creative department finally decides to split Roman Reigns from the group.
With WWE planning on putting more focus on the tag team division in 2014, there's a very good chance that Mason Ryan could finally be brought back up to the main roster again. He's currently teaming with Jason Jordan in NXT.
WWE has decided to put Shaul Guerrero, the daughter of Eddie Guerrero and Vickie Guerrero, with Mason Ryan and Jason Jordan as their manager down in NXT.
While there hasn't been much discussions about bringing him up to the main roster, WWE has no intentions of giving up on Mason Ryan.
Alberto Del Rio won Royal Rumble 2011 by last eliminating Santino Marella. Other participants in the match include Alex Riley, Big Show, Booker T, Bray Wyatt, Chavo Guerrero, Chris Masters, CM Punk, Curtis Axel, Daniel Bryan, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Ezekiel Jackson, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Hornswoggle, Jack Swagger, John Cena, John Morrison, JTG, Justin Gabriel, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Mason Ryan, R Truth, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, Ted DiBiase, Tyler Reks, Tyson Kidd, Vladimiz Kozlov, Wade Barrett, William Regal, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder.

Hi everyone,
This is my first post so be kind! I need a bit of advice. Ive been using the amazing Lumix LX3 bridge camera for a few years, but I am now looking at upgrading to a DSLR.
Im looking at Canons and have 2 in mind, either the 50d or the 550d. Having compared the specs on the Canon website it appears that the cheaper 550d is better in terms of spec. Is this the case? Im not particularly bothered about shooting video on the camera, I just want one that is going to last me a good few years and produces a sharp, high quality image. Shooting speed is another consideration.
Lenses are something else I have been looking at and something I dont really have a great deal of experience in. I shoot mainly landscapes but also need a fairly good zoom lens (something the LX3 sadly lacks). I have been looking at the Canon 85mm f/1.8 and the Canon 50mm 1.4. Would these give me what Im after? Also, are there any 3rd party lenses that are worth considering or should I stick with the canon brand?

The Sun still not shining on Nintendo's 3DS
The Sun stepped up its slagfest towards Nintendo's 3DS today, subjecting a self-less volunteer to two hours of 3DS gaming to show just how bad the console may be for your health. 3DS sickbag After yesterday's spat in which the tabloid claimed retailers had received huge levels of 3DS returns - heavily disputed by Nintendo and …
...The Sun are pissed off because they didn't get any of those 'scoop' full page advertising deals off Nintendo this time?? Possibly along with a 'Buy The Sun For A Year And Get A 3DS For Not Quite Full Price' promotion?
I'd suggest to The Sun that they get back to reporting news, but they've not actually done that for, well, ever really!
And the way is...
For Nintendo to buy advertising space in the Sun and give key reporters a nice holiday in Tahiti?
In any case the 3DS is bad, esp for children even Nintendo acknowledges this. Not sure about heart rate however, that's probably pushing problems a bit too far.
Sun Readers...
Quote from the article:
"Who has a "resting rate" when playing videogames? Surely, the whole point is that they stimulate and excite."
Exactly! Who would be stupid enough to believe the Sun's own doctor on this story... oh yeah, Sun readers!
He was playing *while walking* and his heart rate was above resting. That's... normal.
He played it in a car, and felt sick. Ohmygodsomebodythinkofthechildren -- carsickness... in a car! The 3DS is 3v1l incarnate!
And what's this nonsense about a sustained heartrate of 85 causing circulatory problems? My heart rate never drops below 120 during a sustained workout (including half-day cycle rides). This is to be expected.
I think the good^H^H^H^Hcrap doctor is confusing cause and effect. People with certain cardiovascular and/or circulatory problems may have high heartrates, but having a high heart rate at a given time doesn't indicate cardiovascular or circulatory problems.
I don't know if it's fair to pin it on the doctor...
I mean, do you honestly think that was the complete information that she gave? I would expect it probably went more like:
"Hi, I'm Dave from The Sun, have you got a minute to answer some questions on blood pressure?"
"If someone had a heart rate of 85 could it cause problems?"
"Not necessarily, it would be considered high if that was their resting rate, but other than that it would have to be raised to that level for very long periods of time before it would cause any form of circulatory problems."
See what I did?
I think it's prudent for experts to never talk to such trash, but some of them probably:
a) could do with some easy cash to answer a few questions
b) naive and honestly think their views will be used fairly, and see something stupid and want to discredit it
The real fault lies with the shoddy reporting (and the fact that nowhere near enough is made of it) which could probably be quite damaging to the careers of some well-meaning people.
The Sun is owned by Murdoch, the 3DS is (for some weird reason) a competitor to the iPad, Murdoch makes dosh through the iPad app, The Sun has a vested interest in getting people away from the 3DS and buying the iPad instead - or am I being cynical?
I'll happily surrender myself to testing a 3DS for El Reg though, feel free to send me one in the post for extensive testing.
A and/or 1
"Murdoch makes dosh through the iPad app"
Murdochs not saying but if we believe Twitter then he's not according to the declining number of tweets generated by the app's users.
the sun's in house medical expert
just lol.
i wonder if they've run these tests on readers?
page 3 could have the same effect on certain individuals...
"If this was your resting rate, I'd recommend you saw a GP about high blood pressure", said doctor Carol Cooper. "If this rate is sustained for a long period it could damage circulation".
Similarly, if your current rate of ageing is sustained for a long period it could make you older.
el reg, please stop reporting on the sun. it raises my blood pressure
Poor goodie bag?
Seems to me like a certain papers tech editor wasn't invited to the product launch or maybe got a smaller goodie bag than expected.
"It seems The Sun really has Nintendo in its sights over this one, though. There is only one way to settle this…"
Yes, with a Playmobil re-enactment of a FIGHT! Come on El Reg, it's been too long...
That doctor
She needs to be reported to the BMA for clearly not knowing anything about adrenalin.
Do they not teach things like that in medical school anymore?
"Getting excited increases pulse" shocker. I think that was on the first page of my A-level psych text-book.
She also doesn't appear to know how to conduct an experiment. Where's the control? If they had tested this against someone using a normal DS then that might have been vaguely scientific.
Even your average GCSE science student could design a better "experiment"
"Do they not teach things like that in medical school anymore?"
Have they actually said she's a medical doctor?
TBH knowing the Sun, she probably only got a doctorate in getting her tits out.
All above board and paid for mind you, sent by post from a Nigerian "university"..
She is a real doctor
Although, after perusing her CV, I can't see how "expert opinion" can be used to describe anyone who is just a part time GP.
All this talk of the The Sun's "medical experts" seems to bring a certain crass joke to mind, the one where the doctor says "Madam, can I weigh up your tits?! *cups both hands* Wahay!"
I think that's about the level of knowledge "the old 'bun" has about anything medical!
probably a case of..
it's probably a case of:-
doctor: "subject has high pulse after playing the game. as expected, due to adreneline, etc"

I still get nightmares from playing alcohol fuelled Doom network sessions 20 years ago. If you don't have any reaction then you're more than likely playing The Teletubbies meet Noddy without the naughty monkeys(*) add-on.
(*) The original is probably not allowed.
Doom? You wuss.
The original 'Alien versus Predator' however; that was proper scary. The pinging of that motion tracker still haunts me.
AvP + Sound up + Lights off = Brown trousers.
Obviously just not old enough...
Doom was scary when I was playing it (I'm still not as old as some of those here, so I was of a frightening age when it came out). Especially that level with the demons in the dark and the flickering lights. It just pales into insignificance when compared to later things. AvP was indeed scary, as was System Shock 2.

Great comment on the Sun's website

Well, I lol'd anyway....

Who the Fk buys and reads newspapers?
The gullible, weak and feable, thats who.
Mind you "The Sun" readers are hardly known for their intelligence, are they?
"are they?"
I'm going to be vulgar again.
I assume that Nintendo recommends that new users should not play with this device for hours on end.
I assume that it is also recommended, perhaps implicitly, that you do not stick the device up your arse and get a friend to hammer it in with a mallet, and then (you, not the friend, particularly) eat a very large curry.
I don't say that I look forward to reading about the latter experiment in disregard of reason and manufacturer's recommendation, in The Sun, because I almost never touch the filthy thing, but I do almost peruade myself that it would be interesting to hear about, if not to hear close by, or see, or to be in the firing line of.
Don't worry...

Sick to the Back Teeth
They should test the Sun, that thing has been making ME Sick for years lol
whilst it's very easy
to write the Nintendo story off because it's The Sun, there is some serious concerns about the the long-term damage to young eyes using the 3DS.
I have pretty good vision, and 20 minutes of gameplay was enough to give me nausea. To be honest thou, after 20 mins of the horrendously bad launch software, that was enough anway.
making you feel sick
isn't really the same as damaging your eyes.
There's no physical process by which the 3DS can damage your vision, you just get a bit of eye strain, that's all. Anyone in the world who owns a computer, a television, or a book, is "straining" their eyes to use it. Who cares?
Obviously there are people in this world with a vested interested in making us all scared to death that we will go blind any day now. I've had 12 hours screen time every day for the last decade. My eyes are the only part of my body that isn't suffering.
Besides, when your eyes are suffering, your body tells you, it's called pain. Just like you can't run on a broken leg, you can't use strained eyes.
I'm not a doctor, but if it will make you feel any better, I will buy a doctorate on eBay.
Is that why
Nintendo don't suggest letting your kids play the 3DS in 3D mode then? Advice from medical experts...
"Nintendo is warning young children against playing 3-D video games on its upcoming handheld gaming system, the Nintendo 3DS.
Kids age 6 and younger who play the 3-D games may have the growth of their eyes stunted, the company said in a statement on its Japanese website."
@The Alpha Klutz
>There's no physical process by which the 3DS can damage your vision
Poking it in your eye should do the trick.
More seriously.
I'm no medical doctor either but as I understand it the way the 3D effect is acheived is by having pixels at slight angles so that one eye sees one set and the other eye a different set. This does put strain on eyes, especially developing eyes, or more correctly developing eye muscles as in the case of young children. Nintendo do not recommend this device for youngsters for this reason. It could potentially cause permanent damage to their vision.
So whether you like it or not, think of the children.
@The Alpha Kluts
"Obviously there are people in this world with a vested interested in making us all scared to death that we will go blind any day now..."
Me? I just ignore 'em ... Just find masturbation helps with that instead of watching the screen ...
There is only one way to settle this…
Is that a 3ds title already? :)
To be fair
Out of the 5 3ds games I got SF is the ONLY one that gets me mad. That AI in that game is frustratingly cheap. On easy after stage 3 I find all the AI does is counter your moves no matter what you do...
I got pissed with it after 30 mins and not touched it since.
Pilot wings, and ridge Racer the 2 other games I played a lot so far have not made me one bit angry, and I've sat playing them for over 3 hours non-stop.
The Sun
"Price had a high pulse and increasing blood pressure" Funnily enough reading The Sun has much the same effect on me. It also causes me more than "minor discomfort".
And exercise...
"Stay on the couch, that walk to the fridge could elevate your blood pressure and kill you. KILL YOU!"
Oh, and forget about sex, too. Or about asking the new cutie in the mailroom out for a coffee, for that matter.
And think of the childrens! All these classes, exams and tests and whatnot are potentially deadly! Ban school!
On the other end, education leads to long meetings in overheated rooms with comfy chairs, which are guaranteed to keep your blood pressure and hearth rate low. Dangerously low, even*. Oh noes, an other death trap!
*if you don't actually listen to the bullshit directly pulled from the latest "management for dummies"-style book, that is. That drivel is guaranteed to make you burst a vein or two.
You see...
I like The Sun... and I like Nintendo... but which is best? There's only one way to find out... FIIIIIIIIGHT!!!
Who buys the sun anyway?
If you do, stop right now.
Buy The Beano or The Dandy instead. They are much funnier and the stories have more factual information than anything the Sun will ever print.
absoloute crap
the sun that is...
Like what every other person said.. when wil the sun do an expose on the dangers of exercise, or rollercoasters (no that would kill the alton towers and thorpe park kickbacks) or watching horror films (actually they've done that one to death haven't they)
I remember seeing a while ago a sun "investigation" into energy drinks where their hapless volunteer had to drink a large can of redbull every 20 minutes or something.. unsurprisingly after a couple of hours he was a jittery monster with a high heart rate and kept rushing off to the loo..
also from what I remember their 22 year old volunteer (new junior writer) likes his kebabs and beers a bit too much so his resting heart rate probably isn't too healthy anyway...
The 3DS can kill people?
In that case, could Mr Murdoch please do the world a really big favour and give one away free with each copy of The Sun?
The Sun is your fault
The only justification for the the crap that The Sun pours out is 'But the readers wouldn't buy if they didn't like it'. Show them you don't like it, don't buy it. Vote with your money. It's the only vote that counts any more.*
* probably the only vote that anyone ever took any notice of.

Thanks, a shame that not many people responded.
One thing that I don't think you mentioned (I was reading fairly quickly so I might have skipped it) is the concept of playing for the group, not your self. What I mean by this is being able to do things like maintain sunders, or a demo shout or managing any mechanic that needs to be dealt with by a person, that wasn't specifically assigned even if it means a DPS loss. Healer mana as mentioned is incredibly important and any time you can make healing easier in some way, you should be doing it.
|TGM UI |Fury Warrior Guide | How To Use Landsoul's Spreadsheet| The Numbers Game |
"I am an elitist; I will never accept mediocrity and I openly show no respect for stupidity"
I did talk about the group thing but I didn't mention the mechanics of your class keeping your buffs. It is something that should be looked at but I was moreso looking at the idea of basic grouping and not dying by standing in the giant flaming ball of fire.
But what TGM says is a great point: Look at the buffs that your class does. Something you may want to look at is making sure that all the necessary buffs that will allow you to survive are up. Some buffs aren't not 'as' necessary as others but if you have something that could facilitate your job without sacrificing too much of your dps, then by all means do.
Any damage reducing ability that makes your healer love you for using less mana on the tank will surely be useful. Just be mindful when doing this that your DPS doesn't suffer greatly; a good way is to practice outside of combat just like practicing your CC and incorporating your skills in your rotation. I know I have to work on the times I am actually dealing with a global cooldown that I do not really know what to do; I normally Heroic Strike to do more damage, but sometimes it would be better to just Demoralize Shout most of the mobs so the damage is reduced.
Smart thinking will go a long way.

Given that this a guide aimed at DPS who may have got into bad habits I'd add this point:
In the lower game, a lot of DPS became very reliant on AOE effects, which tended to produce very large numbers with very little effort, and which matched up nicely with tanks, who also tended to pull big. Blizzard has changed AOE mechanics on some classes now to make them less desirable. Not only is AOE a big mana drain, but AOE also costs even more mana because it may make other mana-returning abilities unavailable. So it is now virtually impossible in a fight of any length to depend on AOE.
There is, however, another reason other than mana efficiency to target single enemies. Focused fire gives your tanks more mitigation and your healers more mana, because it is better for both tanks and healers if they are dealing with a group of five, then four, then three, then two, then one, then zero. If the DPS all AOE, then you are dealing with a group of five that may be doing damage continually until they all suddenly die. So the moral of this is: going for the biggest numbers possible as a dps is not always the best approach. It is nearly always better to kill one thing than to wound many things.

Arms Warriors definitely can squeeze out more dps however while aoe'ing (though not recommended and because of their non-threat modifiers, my guild tanks and I have been finding dps warriors to actually be one of the more annoying classes to run 5 mans with) because of cleave mechanics, sweeping strikes, and bladestorm.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
I think that the sort of player who would benefit from this guide may well see a drop in overall dps by switching from aoe to single-target dps. Single-target "rotations" (which, of course, aren't that rotational any more) are pretty hard to pull off properly without 1) research and 2) a lot of practice. (And I speak as someone still getting used to the druid eclipse cycle or finding the switch-point between a spriest's DoT cycle and Mind Spike.) My intention was to encourage dpses to stick with single-target dps even if they find it a lot harder to look good on Recount without chain-casting aoe.
Good guide. What interests me is how tanks operate once healers can operate through full pulls without any cc, and without going oom.
From what I have seen tanks deal significantly more damage when Vengeance fully stacks and they can use the full extent of their aoe abilities which gives them pretty impressive numbers.
I play a feral druid myself, haven't gotten around to actually leveling/gearing up another tanking classes but as a base of personal experience i've tanked with all of the classes in wrath but haven't gotten around to actually level up my alts with the annoying profession grinds that i still have in front of me(3x 85lvl atm).
Regardless, in terms of heroics ( since at least for now CC is absolutely obsolete in raiding environment ) the amount of mobs i can tank in a single pull depends on a few different things, the largest part of course is the gear.
In theory there are only 2 roles who's gear really matters on this case, the healer and the tank. It's rather straightforward, the better gear the tank has the more hits he can take, the better avoidance he has, the better threat (and thus dps) output he has. For healer the gear matter's quite alot, but in some cases it's more towards what class(spec if priest) they are as well ( it is very much easier for a paladin healer to keep a tank (or group) up through heavy damage than say a priest, in current live patch).
The other aspect that can and will make you able to do more larger pull is your own experience / knowledge of said instance. In large aspect there is always just a handful of packs in a said instance that deal the most damage to you. But in a lot of cases there are ways of completely nullifying said damage via 3 things.
1. Stuns = bash / hoj / cs / kidney / charge etc.
2. Interrupts = every dps class has one now, and so do most tank specs aswell(paladins only behind on live patch atm (?))
3. Focus Fire
There is without expection, always some mob that you can do one of the 3 things above on, be it the plaguebearers in LCoT, Seer's in GB(tbh not sure of the top of my head what was the nasty critter in there atm), or packs with healers like in ToT / VP. The "quickest" way of handling said packs, is always knowing beforehand when you'll be there, and saving your dps/survability cooldowns for them.
As an example, in my case i have barskin(-20% dmg taken), dodge on use trinket, survival instict (shieldwall), frenzied regeneration (laststand +/ small heal or with glyph more healing taken which i change around alot). Then for DPS i have berserk which turns my Mangle to a cleave = a +30k dps (depends alot on the pack) 'hammer it away'- skill. Which i cycle through depending on the pack im on, or the efficiency that my healer has.
All in all, currently i can rush through any instance atm without any sort of CC if i want to. In my eyes, the CC concept is there for people with lesser gear. It serves as a gap on after you ding 85 and get to 329lvl range that makes you able to queue for heroics. Which is the time when you want to use every CC in your groups arsenal, to make sure your instance clearing goes smoothly. But once you actually gear yourself up and reach enough gear, CC really isn't mandatory anymore if you choose so.
Sorry if this explanation is too much offtopic.
Now, to the DPS aspect of it all.
One major thing that changed in the expansion, that really impacted the instance clearing is the actual DPS numbers. As a general rule, depending on the class and spec, you could just go in press 1 button and boast around on how awesome you are with your big numbers.
In terms of the numbers today, in most cases it's no longer beneficial to spam complete aoe when you do a pull with more than 3 mobs anymore. But depending on the class aswell, it most often isn't require for you do just single target DPS either. The other term of damage dealing which was to some extent shoved to the AOE camp back in the day.
Cleaving, the type of damage when you are doing damage on one target but you are the same time doing splash damage to other mobs in the close distance. This is the major reason why all tanks are so high on the damage meters atm, but it's very subjective in terms of DPS classes since most don't really have this option as of late. Warriors do have this option, and atm when they get past the gimped state that is 'freshly dinged 85' they are a very large opponent on the threat meters on larger pulls. Retribution paladins, might the only second candidate to this, on the top of my head i can't really think of any other class that has other benefits through their base skills.
Which is pretty sums it up that if you want to do some insane hc grind, stack up on fury warriors + retadins. Feral druid to tank it all and paladin healer. Class stacking ftw.
I am so upset this information had to be posted.
a few tips, If your bottom dps, your doing it wrong. Unless your in a top 75 guild, theres a very good chance that there is someone in your raid not doing it right
If you want to actually dps proper? Its more then just learning a few rotations and being able to pull them off on the current raid encounters. Get professions that are an optimal boost, I myself took leatherworking/jc, God knows how easy it is to take a DK alt and level professions on it.
Dont skimp out on enchants(I say that but i dont have peerless qq im saving up :< ). Stay active on theory crafting, im willing to bet the rest of the gold i need for peerless that at least 1/5 of your 25 or 1/3 of your 10 man is running on aged information.
If you want to be a legit dps, you need to put in as much effort as a tank or healer, I've done all three roles, in very successful guilds throughout expansions, if anyone says dps is easy then they be doing it wrong.
There are tons of people who are relatively new to the game or who have honestly forgotten/forget that our roles are more than they were. It is as much the fault of the player as it is the fault of the previous expansion being so newbie friendly and allowing people to live through mistakes.
Cataclysm is a whole new beast that allows you to realize that they aren't kidding. And thus this information to allow people to brush things off and remind all of us on how to do it. Even the best of us would go and forget things. Nothing to be upset about, it just needs to be reminded and this is what it is for: A friendly reminder.

I think this could help some people. Hell, even the veteran dps out there should read about managing threat. I'm sick of everyone trying to top the recount list without concern for survival, and so are a lot of healers out there.
Its upsetting from a player who has played at a higher level. If someone cant figure out these things on their own, odds are they are the same player that thinks fillling out a 15 min guild application is "too much work" Or looking at theorycrafting is for newbs because they cant figure it out on their own.
While your at it, why dont you tell them to keep their eyes open while driving.
I guess what im trying to say, is new player tips like this belong in a forum more orientated towards new players. If someones looking at these forums and threads, Im sure they understand that "fire is bad" and "defensive cooldowns belong on your bars even as a dps/healer"
You are operating under the assumption that only those that participate in these read these forums read these forums. The audiance is a lot larger than you think. And not only do discussions like this help people directly, but also indirectly. Even if you yourself don't need to be told standing in fire is bad, you can also use discussions like this as a reference when telling others who do not.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
When in fact, as Quinafoi states, there are many users out there that are actually not registered for the site, have access to the DPS forums, and as such, browse the forum. Furthermore, this is a DPS guide for DPSers. The logic you are using that this shouldn't be in this forum because people in here should know the information is based solely on your opinion and not on solid facts.
Fact: DPS, no matter what level of skill, die in certain situations that they could have avoided.
Fact: No matter the raid, you still have to get back into the route of learning your class after every expansion. Why do you think raids and top tier level guilds keep wiping over and over? It's to learn what to do and what not to do. Part of that is knowing when is good to do DPS, and when it's good to survive.
Fact: Wrath of the Lich king, was by all standards a very forgiving expansion that did not punish people as hard as Cataclysm has so far. You can see it in the fact that unlike Wrath, Cataclysm healers are running out of mana and threat is more of an issue. These were near non issues in Wrath.
So yes, the guide may not be suited for all. Hell, if you don't do this, that means you're a great player. But to presume that everyone that comes to this forum should have an idea of what to do is basing it on stipulations and self-served bias.

While not exactly a smooth read, I applaud Krenian for taking the time to start this thread. It is nebulus in its approach but fairly accurate nonetheless. Players who run with guildmates normally won't have the communication issues the author mentioned. That's not the case in PUGs. Those who don't have to PUG should thank their lucky stars and refrain from trampling the less fortunate underfoot.
Whether running with guildies or PUG'ing there are still highlights related to battlefield awareness that strike true: stay out of the stuff, and focus less on posting high numbers and more on contributing to the ebb and flow of the fight. Cata forced teamwork to the fore. Krenian is correct with the allusion that LK raids getting nerfed into submission - combined with Wrath patches making it ridiculously easy to gear up - made Cata heroics & raids a bit overwhelming at times for the everyman.
Patience and communication are a must in Cata. Players who scoff at mention of this should probably get out more. This is a good thread.

I'm not actually calling you out or anything but this has been commented upon by a lot of people and I'm frankly very curious as to where people are having a hard time reading the information. Where is it that I am failing at my writing skills?
Again, this is a genuine question that I would like you to point out so I can improve in the guide. Especially considering i'm planning on actually writing novels, I want to improve my writing skills and had this proofread by my English minor Fiancee so I wanna see what's going on here. (Granted she studied more literature than writing but still.)
To be honest with all of you, I am more than willing to take comments about my writing skills. That's something in no way I would bash your heads in and say "NO YOU'RE WRONG!". Feel free to PM me with suggestions, comments and reviews that you think I should look at when writing things. I'm always open to critiques to improve myself.

I'm old school with regard to the tank marking and calling the shots with everyone else following his/her lead. But ever since Patch 3.3 gave us Dungeonfinder, the argument for PUG players having to mark their own CC might be a valid one. At least initially if the tank is either unprepared or pretending to be a Zerg god who is better served marking fire hydrants.
When CC is used, I prefer CC pulls both as DPS and as a tank: incapacitate the chosen targets first, then draw the rest away so the AoEers are free to unload without fear of breaking crowd control. The key to success is DPS cooling their jets. Not giving the tank time to position the remaining mobs out of AoE range from the CC'd targets before they open fire = fail.
With a Survival Hunter just reaching 85, I am only now beginning to understand the nuances of where and how the toon fits in instances. I agree that switching targets to spread the aggro around is a smart practice, saving feign for emergencies. Oh yeah... and turning the pet's growl off helps the tank hold enough threat to kite mobs away from CC too.
For those who have been playing a hunter since they were an embryo... the rest will likely bore you to tears. But for those of us who aren't there yet... I'm just trying to contribute (hopefully) some applicable pew pew.
I start in Aspect of the Hawk and lead with Black Arrow to DoT and get my pet moving; followed by Ice trap (AoE) or Freeze trap (single target) to help proc Lock & Load:
- If Lock & Load happens I fire Explosive Shot twice - with Rapid Fire and/or Serpent Sting in between to fill up the CD space.
- If Lock & Load doesn't happen I'll either (a) hit Rapid Fire and setttle into a DoT + instant cast party mix with a trap thrown in, or (b) DoT up, launch a trap, then start looking for stray mobs who might benefit from a Concussion Shot or Wyvern Sting.
I realize that Arcane Shot is part of the Lock & Load proc with Explosive Shot. But I choose to substitute a 2nd Explosive Shot in the L&L rotation (with Rapid Fire and/or Serpent Sting as spacers) in place of Arcane Shot because of Essence of the Viper's elemental damage bonus. Mastery actually means something to Survival Hunters.
To regenerate focus while still DPSing:
- If Serpent Sting is active, I hit Steady Shot followed by Cobra Shot.
- If Serpent Sting isn't active, I hit Steady Shot plus Serpent Sting followed by Cobra Shot.
Rinse and repeat to regen focus.
A concern mentioned in the original post is DPSing while having to move about. If I have focus built up then it's a no brainer - I simply rattle off my favorite instant cast shots while strafing. But if focus is low, Steady Shot & Cobra Shot can't be used while moving in Aspect of the Pack because they aren't instant cast. In fact they have 1.63 second channeling cast times. That's an eternity in fights where mobs or bosses are surounding you with damage that must be egressed.
Enter Aspect of the Fox, which allows StS & CoS to be fired while moving. Like the warrior stance dance, I find switching between Aspect of the Hawk and Aspect of the Fox a necessary evil in long fights where I can't remain stationary. I do what I can to remain in Aspect of the Hawk as much as possible. But when I need to regen focus on the run, Aspect of the Fox is a butt saver.
