Padres, Correia agree, 32 sent contracts
Written by | Bill Center | 6:55 p.m., Dec 12, 2009
The Padres have reached a contract agreement with right-handed pitcher Kevin Correia for the 2010 season and tendered contracts to 32 protected players, including their three remaining arbitration-eligible players – relief pitchers Heath Bell and Mike Adams and third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff.
The Padres did not tender contracts to right-handed relief pitchers Jackson Quezada and Mark Worrell, meaning both become free agents. The Padres now have 37 players on their 40-man roster.
Correia, 29, was 12-11 with a 3.91 earned run average in 33 starts for the Padres last season. The Padres were 19-14 in games started by Correia, whose 22 quality starts (three runs or fewer in six innings) was the 11th-best mark in the National League.
No other Padre made more than 19 starts last season.
Neither side sought a longer contract or an option beyond next season. At the end of 2010, Correia is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent.
By signing Correia, the Padres avoided having to make a tender/non-tender decision on him by 8:59 tonight.
"I'm excited," said Correia. "I didn't know if it was going to happen. I wanted to stay here, that was no secret to anyone. I kind of came down to the wire. But it's good to have this taken care of."
Worrell was acquired last winter from St. Louis in the trade that sent shortstop Khalil Greene to the Cardinals. The Padres later got right-handed reliever Luke Gregerson to complete the trade.
Worrell missed the 2009 season after undergoing surgery in March to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

"Iran won't build nuclear bomb but has no fear"
TEHRAN, Iran -- " Iran's president says Iran has no intention of building nuclear weapons, but fear would not deter it if it decided to make them. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's comments suggest a toughening of Iran's position ahead of June 18-19 talks with world powers over Tehran's nuclear program.The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany want Iran to shut down its highest level uranium enrichment facilities. Ahmadinejad's remarks suggest Iran would refuse. Ahmadinejad made the comments during a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Thursday in China. His remarks were posted on his website. The U.S. and its allies suspect Iran is seeking to develop nuclear weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes like power generation and cancer treatment."

OK, I used to be full on OK with taking their nuclear program out.
But even if they made a couple nuclear weapons I don't think they are stupid enough to hand them out or use them. I don't want them to get them, but I don't think doing what we have been doing is the way to dissuade them.
They know if they were to use them or allow terrorists to get them we would annihilate their country and any other country we could link to the use of them against us or our allies.

Cheerios® is giving you the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your ultimate family vacation. As part of a paid promotion for their "Do What You Love" Sweepstakes, Cheerios® is sponsoring my post today about what my ultimate family vacation would be. Read mine, Enter the Sweepstakes for a chance to actually win your own fantasy family trip or one of a bunch of other great prizes.
I love travel. I don't just mean vacations, (Who doesn't love those?) I mean actual travel. I love planes and cars and trains and boats. There isn't a trip tic I've met that I haven't loved. My favorite part is simply the experience of living somewhere else for a bit. This is evidenced by the fact that I never have too many plans for when I get somewhere. I plan like crazy for the departure. There are packing lists and snack bags, reading and (of course!) music downloaded and outfits and toiletries sorted and packed for five people. During prep time, I am a Ellie Efficient but then I usually just head off and figure out what to do with my days when I get where I'm going. I've taught my kids the same thing. Wherever we've been, we just are. For however long we stay somewhere we live as natives until it's time to pack and go home. We've never had a trip that we didn't love, so it must be working so far.
Because I love travel so much, it's hard to name just one dream vacation. When asked, my first thought is a trip to Italy with my husband but that is mostly because we spend so little time together that the word vacation immediately brings up visions of alone time on a romantic canal sipping red wine. But just as quickly I think of taking my kids to Disney or showing them Spain or experiencing Australia with them and that, I think is really the dream. Then I realize there is a trip that keeps coming up. The Trailer Trip. I have such a burning desire to have my kids meet my cousins' kids that I have it all worked out. We'll hop in our rented mobile home in Jersey and warm up with a stop in PA for an Austin and Joe family BBQ. Next we'll visit Aunt Mimi in Ohio. From there we'll hit the open road and stop in as many Mel's Diners as we can on the way to Minnesota for Jannell and Tracy and their crew. We'll head west to northern California where we'll hang with the Bakers who either live there or have made the trek from L.A. to join us in a game of pool at Helen's humble beach palace while Faith and Ava fall in love and share a girl crush on cousin Jacqui. Dan and Griff of course will hang with Jesse and Jack either tearing up the house and yard as only boys can do or maybe even surf a while. After all, they're- each one- a coastal kid. We'll visit my mom's childhood house and and hopefully get some history from Aunt Jan and Uncle Jack.
The leaving is the worst part but leave we must because finally we'll hit the gas on up through Canada and over to our last stop-the wilds of Wasilla where my three finally get to hang with Roxie's two. If she can convince her brother to visit we'll get his four as well. We may rest in Alaska a while. By then the drive might have done me in and who knows, I might just want to see Russia from her house.
I guess it's clear to me now, my dream family vacation only needs one thing: family. The more that I can get in to one trip the better. It's the family that makes the vacation a dream.
Don't forget to enter the "Do What You Love" Sweepstakes, for a chance to win your own ultimate family vacation. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.

Hello! My name is Tactic. I've been playing enhance since BC, through the thick and thin, hardships, and good moments. You may have seen me from my youtube channel or my previous MoP guide. At the start of my WoW career, I was mainly a PVE'er, taking part of top 200 guilds through WOTLK and CATA, and it wasn't until CATA that I started to pvp seriously. Since then I have gotten at least 2200 in every season since then, with my last 3 seasons being the most successful, with my achievment of rank 1 duelist in Tyrannical, and Glad in S14 and S15. In S15 I got 2800+ in 3s, and was the highest enhance in 5s. Unlike alot of enhance, I am here to stay (no fotm reroller here).
In this guide, I am going to try to go over everything, and I will edit it as soon as I think I have missed something. Some of this info may be redundant and or new to you depending on how much you know of the class
"Enhancement is known as the caster- melee spec, because we have an even distribution of physical damage and magic damage." What I like the most about of enhance is how we basically have to go balls deep into combat to survive, we have to keep the pressure up or we lose control of the game. That is, you gain maelstrom weapon charges, and you heal or damage depending on the scenario. The main advantages of enhance at the moment is the huge support we offer to the team (grounding, purge), and our heals. Enhance is not a mongoloid spec, I am always looking at my party member's frames to see if they need a heal.
As you would assume, there isn't really a general PVE rotation you can use in pvp, but rather you push whatever is best in that moment. I like to follow a rough list for doing damage, and strictly damage only (think of that LSD last season that DC'd and never waited for you and you kill them).
-Purge!!!! Get in the habit of purging, it's our strongest utility. Now obviously this isn't a damage ability, but it mitigates alot of damage because clean targets get farmed. This is always the top of the list if the target has important buffs such as: any hand spell from a pally, any absorb shields, fear ward, NS/AS, Spiritwalker's grace.
- Keep searing totem up: The damage it provides is little, but its brainless damage you don't have to think about. It's almost like a second auto-attack, like your off-off-hand.
-Cast Lightning bolt with 5 stack maelstrom. Unlike before, Lightning bolt actually hits as hard as elemental blast and even harder if you decide to use unleashed fury. You may be forced to use this at 3-4 stacks when your target is so low and you can't hit it.
-Cast Stormstrike. This is my spam dps ability, and most likely my favourite. It provides me the crit buff for LB and EB and is a good generator for maelstrom weapon due to the main-hand and off-hand attack. If you are using echo, don't let it every be at 2 stacks, you always want it to be recharing or you are losing dps.
-Cast Lava Lash. Recently they made Lava Lash scale with our mastery, so it does offer some burst now. Depending on the situation and if you have an echo proc, this moves up in the list due to hit being the bustiest. If you are using Echo, don't let it be at 2 stacks, you always want it to be recharging or you are losing dps.
-Keep Flame shock up with unleashed flame buff, idealy with 2 stack Elemental fusion talent if spec'd that way. When you spread it, it will mimic your target's FS. Keep in mind the more flame shocks we have active, the better chance it resets (15%) our lava lash.
-Cast Fire Nova. They buffed fire nova's damage quite a bit in this expac making it pretty real. Assuming you are not going to break CC, and there is more than 3 active targets grouped up, you can harvest pretty hard.
4a. Talents
In PvP you will never find a cookie cutter spec, you will need to change your talents and glyphs depending on the team you face.
Tier 1: Level 15
In this tier, I strongly recommend choosing Nature's Guardian. It's a free 115k heal that procs when you are low. The duration of astral shift is way too low, and you can't use it while stunned. Stone bulwark totem use to be good, but now it scales with battle fatigue so the shield it provides is horrible now.
Tier 2: Level 30
All the talents are viable! But in most cases I recommend using windwalk totem, as most teams have a root or a snare to prevent you from reaching your target, also popping freedom totem can allow your healer your healer to run around a pillar and kite more effectively. Especially with the amount of melee running around, when your healer is CC'd and you have nothing else, you might just have to run with freedom. Earth grab totem is good for for double melee teams with no root breaks and you need to snare, like TSG. Same thing for frozen power, use this for comps that you might need to peel for. But for most cases, that freedom totem will help your healer more than ever, as it can allow him to pop his speed and get the fuck out of dodge.
Tier 3: Level 45
Ooooooooooh baby a triple! I would chose Totemic Projection for this tier for those meaty triple cap stuns. I absolutely love this talent, it's so fun. Need to ground something for your healer but not in line? Totemic Project. Your healer get's feared to africa, but you don't want to fall back to tremor him, TP it! Shaman pops spirit link, Priest life grips, behind a box? Get dat double/trip cap stun. Now the reason we swapped to this from call of the elements, is due to how fear is not nearly as strong as it once was, and you don't see it as often. I still reccommend using CotE for teams with an abundance of fears, or if you need double freedom to reach your target, also its good against hunter/fear teams (priest thug/kfc). But overall I would recommend TP as it is an extra CC for the healer, or a peel for your healer. I use glyph of cap totem often, if I am the only person on the team with a stun.
Tier 4: Level 60
Definitely think Echo of the elements is the choice to go here (when you already have a good amount of haste). What vanguards says in his guide is a perfect description of this talent, as it allows you to go almost "rotationless", assuming you are using purge and other abilities other than lava lash, and stormstrike. Echo procs often and allows some mini burst opportunities with lava lash, however if you need maelstrom, use your echo proc on stormstrike as it is a better maelstrom generator. With 6.1 and the new echo change we can actually pool our burst, which is really good.
However, in early gear state, where you lack haste Ancestral Swiftness is really good to get a good amount of passive haste. You want to get at least 25-30% haste and obviously it is really hard to that when you have no gear, that's when you want to use this talent, that, and well faster globals in general for all dem purges are nice.
Tier 5: Level 75
I would recommend Ancestral Guidance. Even with the nerf to Ancestral guidance from 40% to 20%, it still is really good to counter some burst CDs from the enemy team, especially when your healer is sitting in CC. Against more rot teams (WLS/ShadowCleave/LockEnh) I would take rushing streams, unless of course you know the people you are playing against and you know they kill your totems alot, then AG is better
Tier 6: Level 90
Oh man this talent tier, it blows. They all suck, and to be honest this tier, and the 100 tier blow. You could not even take a talent and not really notice the dps. Right now I have been using Elemental Blast right now over Unleashed Elements. Why? Well Unleashed Fury does a little more damage, but its not noticable right now, and you are going to waste the UE buff alot due to healing, and sprint, so in reality its just giving you 5% Multistrike, which isnt that much. At least with Elemental Blast you can sometimes get the GG agi/haste/mastery 5% boost and do some decent burst. As for Primal Elementalist, it's overall the best dps talent, but the problem is that it gets killed in 3 hits, even if you port it to Africa it will eventually get killed. The only time I would advise going this talent is in 2s, against double dps for earth ele wall and fire ele burst cause you know its going to be a short game. As for 3s, you could use it on sewer map, and put it down at start, in the pipe, casters can still hit it but they really have to go out of their way to kill it.
Tier 7: Level 100
Another garbage tier. Blizzard really shit the bed with our level 100 talents. This tier is entirely comp based. In terms of damage, I really like liquid magma for the choice here, it does the most damage and does some burst if it is only hitting one target, HOWEVER, it breaks so much CC! This leads me to the other talent, elemental fusion. It's a pretty boring talent, but it's safe. Just more damage for your flame shocks and frost shocks. You can do some decent cleave with 2 stack EF, unleashed flame buff and lava lash spread. I often use EF when playing any comps (like beastcleave) that you can break CC. In the current meta, seeing as turbo and LSD varient is our best comps, EF is our best talent as it allows us to provide some rot damage, and combined with Flame Shock Glyph, the 2 stack EF can provide some decent sustained healing for ourselves, and most likely because of this we win most dampening games.
Following the totem stomping train, is storm elemental. In terms of damage, the ele does none. I really dislike this talent as it is usually short lived because I find myself having to use grounding totem, cap totem, or freedom totem (it being an air totem) over it. If you feel inclined to take this talent, you have to use it with primal ele talent. Put the pet on passive to get the speed aura, and use his knock-up ability for a cast interrupt.
Play with the talents see what you like, this is only a suggestion based of the success I have had with the talents.
Recommended Prime Glyphs:
Glyph of Lightning shield: A constant 10% damage reduction, this is amazing. Always have this on.
Glyph of frostbrand: A use to be 4-set, now in glyph form! This talent is awesome for staying on your target (in particular druids that shift everything) as it auto applies a slow for 3 sec. Use this if you are going to have trouble staying on your target, or your team lacks an auto slow.
Glyph of purge: Really good for getting buffs off quick, especially when you want to purge a PoM or NS when the person is relatively clean. In the long run, if you press purge every 6 sec you are going to purge alot more and save globals for damage. However, this talent can bite you in the butt if you are the only dispeller, as if you are unlucky you will be a sitting duck for 6sec while that BoP you are trying to purge off is mocking you. I recommend using this when you have other dispels on your team (like priest beastcleave).
Glyph of Hex: Reduces your hex cooldown by 10 seconds, making it a 35sec CD. This a great talent against teams with no dispel or just one dispeller. CC wins games, this glyph works really well when teaming up with a hunter as their scatter and traps are on a 30sec, so you can cross CC really well. However, since Hex is casted now, you must take in factors like how easy it going to get off at the right time? How many things do you have to juke? I like to use this talent against vanguard's and ret/hunter sometimes for more CC, assuming they don't have a dispel.
Glyph of Capacitor: For those teams that keep sniping your cap totem, and you need to get it off. Especially since Totemic projection is a thing, this can allow you to stop aura mastery heals quickly without having to worry too much about someone sniping your totem. It does still get stomped often though.
Glyph of Purging: I love this glyph alot. I love purging, I love getting maelstrom. Win, win? I think so. We already purge alot, this just allows us to get more maelstrom for heals and lightning bolts. Use this glyph if your team lacks dispels.
Glyph of Flame Shock: Heals for 45% of the damage done by flame shock. In the current meta, when we spread our meaty EF flame shocks, it gives us a basically a personal healing stream the whole game. Right now this is one of the best glyphs if you are playing turbo or enh/lock, as it allows you win dampen games. Also this glyph is sooo dirty in RBGs when you have FS spread to 8+ targets, in some yolos I even outheal some healers.
Situational Prime Glyphs:
Glyph of Ghost Wolf: For when you want to run around a pillar.
Glyph of Feral Spirit: For games that you know that will be short, and you need dem extra heals. The heals are pretty real actually.
Glyph of shamanistic rage. For games where a paladin keeps stunning you, and/or games that a mage will deep freeze you without silencing you. Be careful when using this against UA locks and spriests as the gylph no longer ignores their dispel protection and you will be hit hard, silenced, and feared respectively. Personally I don't really like this talent as it puts in the mind set of using it as a CC break rather than a Def CD, plus alot of classes cover their dispellable stuns like lot of mages cover their deep on you with a CS, or use it on your healer to get a poly off. It's good for BGs but not so useful for arena IMO. I would take this glyph to help with rot damage, especially during dark soul dots, and if you are playing with a priest because we all know priests can't heal locks RIP.
Glyph of spirit walk: 45sec spirit walk. Nice for kiting or getting kited.
For Aoe: Use Fire nova and lava spread glyph and go to town in them bgs.
Major Glyph:
Lava lash for when you don't want your LL spread to break CC in the future. Keep in mind you will lose most likely get less LL procs unless you spread your FS manually.
For stat priority I like to follow this:
Agility > {(Haste → mastery) > Versatility} > Multistrike > Crit
Like past expansions, haste and mastery has proven to be our best dps stats. In addition we get 5% more haste from all sources, and haste also reduced the CDs of our stormstrike and lava lash. Haste = good. However I predict mastery being better than haste once the xpac gets further down the road due to gear, because of that burst potential, and haste getting close to a soft cap. Along with these stats we have versatility, an overall superman stat. It increases damage, reduced damage taken, and increases healing. You want to try to get pieces with versatility couped with mastery or haste. Because of this, you must farm ashran rep, as the ashran pieces all have versatility. The later the expansion goes on, the better vers gets, keep this in mind.
I believe our best gear set is dropping our 4pc and getting every vers mastery, ver haste piece, while keeping head and chest, as they both have haste on them. This way we get alot of vers, while not losing too much haste. Our 4pc does no damage, and the only good it does is provide additional haste, I just don't think the extra maelstrom out weighs all the vers you could get now. I created this list: http://www.wowhead.c...05/wod-season-2 this is just personal preference, if you like 4pc more go for it!
In terms of enchants, it is personal preference between haste and versatility (on neck, back, and rings). Personally I like haste at the moment, because it is still super early in the xpac and we need it. However I think when we get a nice base amount of haste, we should enchant everything with versatility.
Make sure you get the 10% movement speed and don't cheap out as the extra movement speed is huge. Also, since it's still early in the xpac, use the aspirant (ilvl 600) boots and enchant them with panderen's step to get an extra 10% movement speed (overall 120%) until you can get the epic boots.
For weapons, use double Mark of Warsong. With both of these proc'd you get near the soft haste cap and have a lot of burst potential (also fast globals). Once we get further in the xpac, one warsong enchant may reach you to the 50% haste soft cap, then we can use an offset of the mastery and haste enchant.
On a side note for races, I really like draenei over dwarf. I often find my healer getting silence way more than I do, to even make use of the stoneform. With draenei you get more passive agility, and heal that I can describe how many times it has saved my partners when below 5% hp.
Do not feel like you need to change your playstyle at all when looking at my macros or keybinds, play what is comfortable to you.

Yeah... my keybinds are weird.
- Stormstrike before ascendance, when you pop ascendance it resets the CD.
- Make sure you unleash elements before you elemental blast for 40% more damage. Also make sure you have the stormstrike debuff on the target for the additional 25% crit chance
- Alot of resto shaman will try to cover their casts in various ways to make sure you don't interrupt them, but I say who cares! If they drop grounding totem, focus purge them and then wind shear, if you are quick you should eat the grounding totem and interrupt the cast. The same goes for Spiritwalker's Grace, their aura mastery, focus purge them until you get it off, if you are lucky and they are moving it will interrupt them, however if they are standing still get ready to interrupt them. I Suggest an addon that will tell you what you purge, and a cast addon to show when you can or can not interrupt.
- If you pop your earth elemental totem on a hunter's stampede, it will briefly taunt them.
- Try to pop your ascendance only when the healer is CC'd, preferably cross CC'd so it is a 3v1.
- Try to purge alot, get in the habit of it. You want to get important buffs off instantly such as Spiritwalker's Grace, Presence of Mind, Nature's Swiftness, Ancestral Swiftness, Temperal Shield (LOL Mage nerf <3), Ice Barrier, Icy Veins, Alter Time, basically any mage buffs, Hand of Sacrifice, Blessing of Protection, Divine Favor, Power word shield (if it's not too much trouble), Freedoms. Try hitting a mage when he is clean compared to when he is not, if you connect to him with no buffs he is basically dead. The cleaner the target, the more damage you do. If you see a potential switch target in arena, start to clean him off before you go on him.
- If you know a rogue is going to open on you, pre-pop capacitor totem, and shamanistic rage (garrote silence).
- Always keep healing stream totem on cooldown.
- When you hex, always see if you can cross CC
- Look for easy ways to drop capacitor totem (when not running totemic projection), any CC that keeps the enemy still like scatter, warrior target fear, poly, etc... you can time capacitor to stun out of it.
- When playing against a lock team, team (especially if they have a shaman and they always hex you) dispel their agony on CD. It stops alot of damage and is extremely annoying for them. Just dispel whoever gets a 10 stack agony. Very effective vs L.S.D and WLS
- When a rsham links, drop a cap stun. This is a great way to land a stun on 2+ people, the success rate goes up depending how much pressure you have.
- Keep an eye on priest healers, when they move away from their pillar, and pop a feather, they want to fear. Either slow them, or get ready to pre-tremor.
- When you want to survive, freedom and spiritwalk yourself. Keep your distance and spam purging (with purging glyph) and keep healing. Know what classes you can go toe-toe with in terms of melee (not dks). Use a run-in-out method.
- Playing against a warrior, most of them will use mass spell reflect. In addition to juking, you must juke the mass reflect too. Considering how scumy people, alot of warriors use reflect bots, so using a stop casting on hex will juke reflect, and allow you to hex or if you are playing beast, it lets your hunter get a easy trap.
- I know priests have it hard enough but, if you see mindminder, kill it ASAP, you are a dampen class, and allowing them to get no mana regen will let you win faster.
- If a resto druid dispacer beast's TOWARDS YOUR TEAM he is most likely going to bash/disorient cyclone some one. Prepare to pre-ground incase you are the target if not, then shear.
- With the change to hunter traps, its been incredbily hard to ground traps, but not impossible. Look for signs of CC on your healer like HoJ, binding shot, really anything to keep them still and traps off CD. Though I have found most hunter's will juke our grounding totem due to how easy it is to trap now, so even look for concussive shot.
- You can ground a warlock's blood fear.
- With ice block glyph, mages have aura mastery out of it for a few seconds. Use grounding to get the poly.
- When I pally rushes in with speed of light, he is most likely going to HoJ your healer, ground it.
So here is my UI, take it or leave it, but I like it: http://i.imgur.com/uELin83.jpg
Try not to clutter your UI with useless stuff. Make sure everthing is clear, and you notice everything as soon as it pops.
Q. What are the best comps for Enhance?
Tier 1
Turbo w/ Druid Heals
Enhance Lock Druid (LSD Varient)
Tier 2
Turbo with any other healer
Enhance lock with any other healer
Beastcleave with druid healer (MM or BM, most success with MM)
Tier 3
Beastcleave w/ any other healer (priest/pala being the next best after druid)
Enhance/Feral w/ priest or pala
Enh/Fire Mage Healer
Enh/DK healer
Enh/Everything else
Put enhance with any dps class and you could prob get glad with it, it's just our hybrid nature, just be prepared to be really hard countered. It is important to not melt your braincells by playing turbo or LSD varient, try enh fire mage, enh feral, or priest beast, I've never had more fun playing those comps, and it's nice to take a break from the meta. Remember, playing with your friends is always the most fun (even though winning is nice), I could do a 3hr que session as enh/fire mage and not even think about the losses because its so fun.
The internet is full of resources for you to get better at enhance:

If you are ever in a bad mood, or on the verge of quiting enhance, look at my twitch highlights, they are all one shots for the most part, they make me happy :). Be sure to sub and follow! <33

#3873798 The sad, sad state of warriors
Posted hoodrych on 11 April 2013 - 07:10 AM
spell reflect and shield block that actually reduced melee damage are my two biggest gripes. warriors are so weak against casters inherently and a lot of that is spell reflect. no one ever complained about 10s spell reflect in arena, when the nerf happened people were scratching their heads. it's a well designed ability, you actually lose all your damage, have to manually switch 1h/shield and either get the spell you wanted or it could get eaten by a moonfire, but at least you had the option every 10s, and there was a penalty. now if spell reflect is used you pray to have leap or prepare to get blasted for 25 seconds.
i've hated colossus smash since the beginning, it adds so much more clunkiness to our rotation and makes bursting a joke. a lot of our play style is clunky now too, which just makes it not very fun to play (been that way for a while). won't even comment on shield wall since you covered that nicely. dying to physical damage faster then cloth is old, thats my second biggest gripe, armor pen or melee abilities that ignore armor just crush through warriors like nothing. it's a sad state when I die faster to a cleave then my warlock does, so much for armor.
ive played this shit forever and it's really awful to just not even want to play, i logged in to cap today and just got bored and didn't even bother, it's just not even fun because of zero utility and being forced to play a 3min slam machine, literally chaning a couple 90k slams every 3 minutes is our only saving grace.
lastly, i've never really played an alt seriously but ww monk is amazing. i know they aren't super well represented and our weak vs some stuff but so much more enjoyable then warriors. so similar to warriors in a lot of ways.. playing a class that has actual modernized cooldowns has really opened my eyes to how ancient warrior abilities are. perma mini colossus smash, baseline imp hamstring, more mobility, more useful defenses. idk...

Posted Veev on 11 April 2013 - 10:31 AM
One of the main reasons why Shield Wall is so bad is because of Seasoned Soldier. Change it to work with a shield and it'd be a start (still huge damage reduction from weapon damage).
It's been said many times before, but how reliant warriors are on Avatar burst isn't good for the class. We also lack some serious utility compared to rogues now. Make avatar baseline, nerf it to 15% dmg for 20 sec on 2m cooldown, and allow us to use Storm Bolt with it may be worth considering.
And I feel like warriors need some other strictly utility spell for peeling for their teammates. Maybe make mocking banner pulse a physical/magical intervene on nearby teammates every 5 seconds? The intervene would go to the warrior, so could steal a kidney shot or death coil meant for your healer if used properly (while still hurting the warrior, but allowing them to peel besides just relying on counter-pressure).
#3873772 The sad, sad state of warriors
Posted Braindance on 11 April 2013 - 05:29 AM
The golden age
It pains me to say that, but no one can refuse that WotLK was by far the best era for warriors. 10 second spell reflect, charge and intercept, amazing damage, bladestorm, strong sword and board play. In retrospect it was a paradise - you had every tool you needed in your disposal. There were lots and lots of things separating a good from a bad warrior, mainly because of our skill set variety.
The current age
Through cata and MoP, we have been stripped of everything:
- Our defensive play relies on a passive skill and a ridiculous stance, without much action required from our part
- Niche abilities have been removed from our arsenal - intercept, shield block, baseline bladestorm
- The new rage system, while ideal for pve, is a total failure in pvp
- Many of our abilities are frozen in time since WotLK or even BC
Long story short, even though we are still viable, the playstyle plainly Sucks (with a capital s). All you do is damage. Getting trained? Go defensive stance and still do damage. Partner dying? Use a shockwave, throw a charge, do damage and hope for the best.
We are heavily dependent on long cooldowns.Sure, throwing heavy crits every 3 mins is fun, but it becomes quite boring after a while.
Shield wall is by far the most outdated, pathetic cooldown in the game. 40% damage reduction every 5 minutes - requires a shield. Let's take a look at the more fancy melee cooldowns of 2013:
- Icebound fortitude: 20% damage reduction, stun immunity for 12 seconds, 3 minute cooldown
- Combat readiness: 10% mitigation that stacks up to 5 every time you are hit by a melee or ranged attack, 20 second duration, 2 minute cooldown
- Cloak of shadows: no comment
- Anti-magic shell: no comment
- Shamanistic rage: 30% damage reduction, usable while stunned, 1 minute cooldown
- Survival instincts: 50% damage reduction, 3 minute cooldown
- Divine protection: 40% magic damage reduction, 1 minute cooldown
- Barkskin: 20% damage reduction, 1 minute cooldown
- They all have relatively small cooldowns
- They provides bonuses with minimal trade offs, allowing the user to stay offensive
Of course I am not implying that some of the classes with the above cds are better than warriors right now - they are not, but their weaknesses lie in various sectors and not in their defensive cds department.
A more involved playstyle
Changes have to happen, to make our playstyle more interesting, involved and, at the same time, less frustrating to our opponents:
- It is an affront to any intelligent player, having to play with second wind and a moronic, bloated, passive -% damage reduction. it is reminiscent of s5 dk playstyle in a weaker form. Make defensive stance a mere 10% damage reduction - bring back sword and board. 10 second reflect back - being "op" in rbgs was a joke in the first place
- The rage system has to change. Whilst the active component of rage gains is OK, the passive one blows. We used to be angry all the time with a glowing red bad underneath our healthbars when trained - now I can have a mage and an sp blowing their loads all over my screen and my character is calm like a lamb
- Introduce training protection - warriors ALWAYS had training protection either in the form of rage or enrage. I am not asking for a 25% enrage to come back, but rage MUST come back
- To keep pressure up outside of cds we have to use almost every global to do damage. We don't have the luxury of casting sheeps, or blinking all over the map to gain momentum. Therefore it is unfair to have hamstring fill 20% of our globals. Almost every melee has its slow integrated in a main attack - why is this not the case for us? Either that, or force all other melees to manually apply their slow every 6 seconds like we do. And 7 rage for a hamstring when your auto attack every ~3 seconds generates 12 rage IF in battle stance is a no-no
- Why are some of our most interesting abilities in the same talent tier? Why is safeguard in the same tier as mass spell reflect? Why is piercing howl not baseline?
- Berserk stance in pvp is almost entirely worthless. It is good for pve but it has 0 pvp usage - I've tried it countless times and it's so situational it's not worth wasting the 3 sec cds on stances
- Why do stances have 3 sec cooldown...?
Tell me what you think.
#3870923 Vanguards Enhance Shaman Guide (6.0.3)
Posted Vanguards on 04 April 2013 - 12:52 PM
I've been asked quite a few times to make an Enhance guide on stream so hopefully this can help out! This guide is written mainly for players new to playing enhance in arena / PvP.
What changed about Enhance in 6.0.3 for PvP?
Enhance has changed so much in WoD. Some major points:
1.) We lost our burst. Ascendance does not really "burst" that much anymore.
2.) Our overall damage is much lower.
3.) Elemental Blast hits lower than lightning bolt unless you Unleash it.
4.) We lost Spiritwalker's Grace.
5.) Our mana pool for healing and purging is overall increased.
6.) You can no longer Tremor while you are feared.
7.) Echo of the Elements works on Lava Lash and Stormstrike.
There are tons of other changes too, but the biggest thing is our gameplay. In Mists we were a burst oriented spec, now we are brought into arenas mainly for our utility and purges.
PvP Talents
Above are the general talents I use in arena. Some of them should be swapped depending on what comp you are playing, and what you are playing against.
Level 15:
Highly Recommended: Nature's Guardian
Nature's Guardian provides the best defensive boost for Enhance. Astral shift isn't bad, but the cooldown is too long for how long it lasts. Stone Bulwark is also a long CD and totem can be killed.
Level 30
Recommended: Windwalk Totem
Any 3 of these talents are viable. What is best will depend on many factors such as your play-style, the composition you're running, and what you're fighting against. Windwalk Totem is my general recommendation because Enhance suffers from mobility. Nearly any team you see in arena will slow or snare you in someway. Windwalk Totem is really nice for this situation. Windwalk Totem also helps a Beastmaster Hunter's stampede.Earthgrab is nice when you fight compositions that really need you to snare. An example is a death knight team without a freedom.Frozen Power has a similar logic to Earthgrab. It's also really good when you play with a druid to Frozen Power someone into a Solar Beam.
Level 45
Recommended: Totemic Projection or Call of the Elements
Call of the Elements is nice because it allows you to use double tremor and double freedom. I highly recommend Call of the Elements against any Priest or Warlock teams, and even Hunter + Warrior (Wyvern Sting + Warrior Fear). Totemic Projection is amazing to make your Capacitor Totem truly useful.
Level 60
Recommended: Echo of the Elements
Echo of the Elements lets you go almost "rotationless." You can pretty much hit Stormstrike / Lava Lash as much as you want when you account for the fact that you will be purging a ton in arena. Echo of the Elements procs extremely often especially when you get hit (it works on lightning shield.) Since NS no longer works with Hex this is by far the best talent imo.
Elemental Mastery is good for compositions that really rely on burst to win. However, it's purgable, and in the current WoD meta you do not want to use this against a ton of teams.
Level 75
Recommended: Ancestral Guidance
Ancestral Guidance helps a ton with healing burst. Healing Stream talent isn't bad either if you're against a Warlock or Moonkin.
Level 90
Recommended: Unleashed Fury
This entire tier is bad honestly, there really isn't a good talent here. This seems to give us the most on-demand damage, but it's closely followed by Elemental Blast. You can honestly pick any talent in this tree and you will hardly noticie the difference except for Primal. Primal would be the best talent if your opponents don't kill your totem that has ~26K HP (1-2 hits).
Level 100
Recommended: Elemental Fusion or Liquid Magma
Another relatively useless tier. Elemental Fusion is the best if you can't use Liquid Magma (it breaks CCs). Otherwise, Liquid Magma provides the most damage. Storm Elemental is really only good versus teams that has no knowledge of the fact they can just kill your totem in one to two hits.
Similar to talents Glyphs should be adjusted to what you play and what you play against. In general I keep Lightning Shield Glyph and Frostbrand Glyph as mandatory. The last one I swap out a lot.
Prime Glyphs:
Lightning Shield - 10% damage reduction most of the time, incredibly useful for a squishy class like Enhance.
Frostbrand Glyph - Applies a slow for you automatically, incredibly useful for a melee.
Purge - Useful for really saving some of your globals, but if you get unlucky you can be stopping yourself from purging useful buffs. Use when you are not the only purge / dispeller on your team.
Purging - Extremely useful for any teams you plan to purge spam. It allows you to heal a ton or use lightning bolts much more often.
Capacitor - Useful for teams where you can keep Totemic Projection and you are afraid they may snipe your 5 second charge time totem.
Hex - Reduces your hex cooldown by 10 seconds. Extremely effective against teams with no curse dispel or only one curse dispeller.
Spirit Walk - Reduces your Spirit Walk CD by 25%. Nice for teams where you need to keep kiting or if you get heavily kited.
Ghost Wolf - Makes you run at 100% even when you are slowed when using Ghost Wolf. Similar logic to Spirit Walk glyph but in a more consistent manner.
Major Glyphs:
Lava lash for teams where your Flame Shock dot can break CCs.
Gems / Enchants / Stats
Priorities for Stats:
Multistrike and Crit are terrible since they scale less in PvP. The best thing to do for gearing is try to avoid these 2 stats as much as possible.
Recommended Enchants:
Versatility on everything. Haste enchant on weapons.
What rotation do you use in PvP?
There is no "specific" rotation in PvP. For Enhance Shamans it is exceptionally strange due to how important purging is and Echo proccing all the time.
Generally when you're not purging you want to use your 4-5 Maelstrom procs ASAP. Outside of that you want to use Stormstrike and Lava Lash. Keep Flame Shock up, keep Searing Totem or Fire Pet totem up. Unleash is a button you hit when you get kited or you have nothing else to do.
Macros / Keybindings?
Macros are largely personal preference. I prefer using @party1 and @arena1 kind of macros. Some players do it differently. Do what works for you!
Macros I use, and the keybinding I use with it:
For my shaman:
` = Start Attack with Unleash Elements
/startattack /cast Unleash Elements
6 = Cancel BOP
/cancelaura Hand of Protection
Ctrl + D = Burst Macro
/cast Ascendance
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Elemental Mastery
/use Malevolent Gladiator's Badge of Conquest
Shift + F = Solar Beam
/cast Symbiosis
R / T / Y = same as my Ret, /focus @arena1 / @arena2 / @arena3
F = Wind Shear Arena 1
/cast [target=arena1] Wind Shear
G = Wind Shear Arena 2
/cast [target=arena2] Wind Shear
H = Wind Shear Arena 3
/cast [target=arena3] Wind Shear
Alt E = Frost Shock Arena 1
/cast [target=arena1] Frost Shock
Alt R = Frost Shock Arena 2
/cast [target=arena2] Frost Shock
Alt T = Frost Shock Arena 3
/cast [target=arena3] Frost Shock
Alt F = Cleanse Spirit Party 1
/cast [target=party1] Cleanse Spirit
Alt G = Cleanse Spirit Party 2
/cast [target=party2] Cleanse Spirit
Alt S = Healing Surge Party 1 Macro
/cast [target=party1] Healing Surge
Alt D = Healing Surge Party 2 Macro
/cast [target=party2] Healing Surge
Ctrl + Z = Rockbiter Macro
/castsequence [@none] Frostbrand Weapon,Rockbiter Weapon
/use 17
/click StaticPopup1Button1
Ctrl + X = Focus Frost Shock
/cast [target=focus] Frost Shock
Ctrl + A = Focus Windshear
/cast [target=focus] Wind Shear
Ctrl + S = Focus Purge
/cast [target=focus] Purge
Alt + X = Focus Hex
/cast [target=focus] Hex
As said with almost everything, Macros have a lot to do with personal preference. You can also use modifiers for different skills in your macros. Use these only as a general guideline and form your own macros!
Stormstrike before you Ascendance in general. The Stormstrike in Ascendance does not share CD with it.
Make sure to Unleash before Elemental Blast or Lightning Bolt if you're using Unleashed Fury or Elemental Blast.
Keep in mind in WoD now we do not exactly do the most damage in the world. Pressure from Enhance is a stacking effect from purging, and somewhat decent consistent damage and a constant low CD ranged interrupt + other utilities. Don't be too discouraged when the damage on the scoreboard shows you're lower than everyone else! We also have probably one of the best constant heals in the game, so make sure you're using those procs.

Breed Name: Australian Shepherd
Country of Origin: Contrary to the implication in the name the Australian Shepherd developed in western America.
Males 20 – 23 inches Females 18 – 21 inches
Males 50 – 65 lbs Females 40 – 55 lbs
These dogs were bred to handle stock and are therefore highly intelligent. They are also very loyal, tireless, and a very good general purpose dogs. They are very obedient and are almost maintenance free except that they require a lot of exercise; something like 2 to 3 hrs a day.
Australian Shepherds have no specific ancestry and therefore come in a number of colors and markings. In fact you even get tri-coloured dogs and Merle colored ones. The Merle colors are the ones that look like a dog that has had camouflage painting done on it and looks very ghost like. This coloring is very common in the Australian Shepherd and since the Merle coloring is associated with Australia this is how they got their name. In fact you get Merle colored dogs that have different colored eyes in the same dog and sometimes two colors in the same eye.
Other information:
The Australian shepherd was developed by sheepherders in North America in the early 1800s when the continent was being colonized. Although there were a number of European stock dogs that were quite good, they were not suited to the climate and so a number of different breeds, including native breeds were crossed to get the dog that we know today. In fact since they were bred by sheepherders who were more interested in working dogs they were bred with ability in mind rather than conformity to any standard. This is why even now the Aussie as it is popularly called is a very good all purpose dog. They are intelligent enough that they can replace a human being when dealing with stock and were made more aggressive than their European counterparts because there were more predators around.
The Aussie makes a very good dog in rural surroundings because there is really no downside to having them. They work, they guard, they play, they take care of the children and do anything that you would want from another person. The only downside is that they need a lot of exercise and are therefore not suited as house pets. Another thing to be kept in mind is that the gene that gives the Merle colouring is associated with physical defects and crossing two Merle dogs will give you a high probability of blind or deaf dogs.
Poochieheaven carries Australian Shepherd dog toys and Australian shepherd dog beds.

Great Snowy Owl Hunt
Photographer Meg Rodney has posted about an excursion to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island. The objective: photograph the elusive Great Snowy Owl on a cold, windswept beach.
The team took along two tripods with Induro GH Series Gimbal Heads, along with a range of bodies and heavy glass from both Nikon and Canon. They encountered a sandpiper, egrets, swans and Canadian geese, but it appears the Great Snowy Owl was a no-show.
Check out the details in the full post at LensProToGoBlog.com. It looks like a cold, but educational adventure.
Outdoor Photo Gear on the Induro CT414
If you're sporting big glass, especially on location, the Induro CT414 is the tripod you want to trust your investment to. At least that's the conclusion of Florida wildlife photographer Maxis Gamez, writing for Outdoor Photo Gear.
In a thoughtful review which covers all the bases weighed when considering a new tripod, Gamez has put together a comprehensive analysis of the CT414. He includes a handy table of the model's specifications, along with many photos of the tripod in action.
Dave M. Shumway at Yellowstone
We love discovering Induro users in places on the Internet we don't normally browse. Photographer Dave M. Shumway is a new discovery for us, and we were happy to find his fine work on Glacier National Park Chat. He recently posted some of his work on that message board, along with an impressive, detailed write up of a trip to Yellowstone National Park.
Shumway used an Induro GHB2 head and a CT214 tripod, among other gear he brought into the park. We're looking forward to seeing more of his beautiful wildlife photography. Follow Shumway on Twitter, Facebook, his blog, and his site. He's definitely worth checking out.
Charles J. MacPherson and Motion Blur
Charles J. MacPherson posted an article about creative motion blurs. Using a Canon EOS 7D and Canon 800mm lens mounted on an Induro GHB2, he was able to balance just the right amount of blur on a white pelican's wingtips, a watery background streaking by behind it.
MacPherson writes of his Induro: "This device functions like the mount of a machine gun on a tank. It allows the lens to pivot smoothly in all directions."
Great image and nice site, Charles. Induro blog readers should definitely check it our for more great tips and fine photography.
Nathan Beaulne's Patience Pays Off
Growing up in Timmins, Ontario, Nathan Beaulne had ample opportunities to explore wildlife. "It's in northern Ontario, so you're pretty remote," he says. "It's pretty much stuck in the middle of the bush." For the last fifteen years he's been living in the more populated Barrie, Ontario, but Barrie is still located so that with a short drive, Beaulne can observe a wide range of Canada's diverse birdlife.
Nancy Lehrer's Trifecta
When she was growing up in the San Fernando Valley in the 1960s, no one could've guessed young Nancy Lehrer would achieve substantial accomplishment in three very different fields. Lehrer describes herself in the following way: computer scientist by profession, classical musician by history, and photographer by passion.
After high school, Lehrer headed north to San Francisco State University as a classical oboe major. Upon graduation with a B.A. in Music, she went to Boston University for graduate school and studied with Ralph Gomberg, who was the first oboist in the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the time. "Then, as an incredibly poor, starving graduate student, I finished my Master's at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst," she says. While at Emerson, she began taking computer science classes, and ended up with another Master's, this time in Computer Science, and a new career. All these years later, she is not disappointed by the switch.
Lehrer points to an analogy in photography which summarizes the future she was facing with a classical music career. "Say you want to be a great landscape photographer, and that's all you ever wanted to do," she explains. "Then you realize that in order to pay bills you have to do weddings, bar mitzvahs, senior portraits, and stuff like that. In music, to make ends meet, you have to do a lot of part-time gigs in community orchestras in places that don't really have the high quality of standards you trained yourself to do. Getting into another field where I could be more choosy about what I did in music was actually fun, and it was a very well‑paying field, highly in demand, allowed me to live where I wanted to live."
All the while Lehrer was studying classical oboe and computer science, something else was constant in her life: photography. In 1978 while in college, she bought her first 35mm SLR, a Canon AE-1 with a 50mm lens. She used it exclusively for the next 20 years, occasionally substituting the 50mm with "a really cheap 100‑millimeter lens," she says. "That was all I had."
As her career as a computer scientist accelerated, she stopped photographing anything other than vacations. Eventually, she got a Yashica with a Zeiss lens. As digital technology improved, in 2002 she bought a Canon Digital Rebel XT. "That rekindled everything for me," she recalls. "That's when I really got back into photography seriously and started first with Flickr, but then found the local camera clubs and local camera professionals I could hang out with and talk to in order to learn about digital photography and digital processing."
Shortly after it was announced, she purchased a Canon 5D Mark II. "I have a whole variety of high quality Canon lenses and pretty much have been sucked in," she laughs.
Digital photography reinvigorated Lehrer's interest in the art. Her subject matter is vast, but she's partial to black and white street photography and color landscapes. Lehrer has her own thoughts and terminology on her shooting. "My landscapes aren't really landscapes. They're tighter. They're more like the 50 millimeter view of nature. I'd say those are my two most successful sorts of genres, the street stuff and then the tighter nature kind of thing. Not the big, expansive landscapes. I just haven't gotten there yet, I just don't see it yet."
One of Lehrer's most interesting series of photographs were done in the Lower Antelope Slot Canyon of Page, Arizona. Lehrer claims a maturity to be able to frame her shots from a tripod just the way she wants. Her tripod of choice is the Induro CT-114. "It's the carbon fiber and I love it," she says. "I just put it in a regular backpack. I've recently been banging it around Utah and it's held up just fine. No problems there. Yeah, I've been very pleased with it. I know someone else who has a little bit larger model in our club, and he loves his as well. He's also banging it around. It's certainly my go-to tripod."
Recently, Lehrer picked up not one but two First Place awards at the Spirit of the Mountains 2010 Photo Contest, hosted by the National Park Service. "Waiting for Breakfast," a delicate study of an Argiopes Garden Spider in a dew-soaked web, won Best of Show. "Stand Tall," a shot looking up at redwoods, won First Place in the Plants category. She also snagged an additional four Fourth Place awards. You can check out the details on her blog.
Her next project may be chronicling her native San Fernando Valley. "It's where I grew up," she explains. "It mostly was built in the 50's, so it's got this 50's southern California ranch house style structure to it. The change in the San Fernando Valley has been mostly downward, economically. There's a lot of Mexican-art influence, so you have these great old 50's looking, cheap modern-ish buildings that now have these brightly colored signs and fences around them."
Her days in the San Fernando Valley are rooted in photography. "I was born in '59, and in the 60's, I remember everybody had cameras. When I was really little my father had a Brownie camera and I would take pictures with that. I would take it to camp when I was in fourth grade and became the camp photographer. I had an Instamatic later. I always was trying to capture what was going on around me."
When asked if she still plays the oboe, Lehrer responds she did up until a few years ago. "The oboe is not so easy to play for enjoyment. It's one of those working-hard instruments. I've always needed a creative outlet, so once I got more and more into photography, I found less and less of a kind of creative need to do it through the music."

Scott Bourne's Photographic Diversity
Indiana native Scott Bourne has called the Pacific Northwest his home for fifteen years, but his passion for photography boasts an impressive 37 year history. In the early seventies as a high school student in the Midwest, his half-sister's husband was the editor of the Bloomington Herald Tribune in Bloomington, Indiana. Young Scott was given press credentials to photograph the Indianapolis 500, and was assigned as a stringer for the Associated Press. Racer Tom Sneva crashed and Bourne was fortunate enough to capture a photo—complete with airborne engine hurtling at him—that ran on front pages around the country the following day. He was paid $2000. Scott Bourne was a photographer.
After high school, Bourne became a political science major, but took photos his entire college career. For six years after that, he professionally shot motor sports, largely based on his Sneva-crash photo. He also spent years in Europe photographing Formula One races. Returning to the U.S., he worked in New York and San Francisco. "I did some portrait work. I tried my hand at fashion photography and failed miserably," says Bourne. "I didn't like fashion. I got back into portrait and wedding work—really enjoyed it, and found a niche. I did that for about fourteen years, owning a studio in Minneapolis, and later, Seattle."
Bourne sold his wedding practice fifteen years ago and dedicated himself to his new photographic passion: nature and wildlife. "In order to avoid being burned out, sometimes it's good to try different genres," he explains. "When I describe myself now, I say I'm a portraitist. I just take portraits of animals. Catch light is catch light, whether it's on a bride or a wolf. My goal is to have people understand these creatures. When the public sees an animal, it's typically for a few fleeting seconds. I try to show these animals up close and personal. When you see a bird, they're fast and flighty. You don't really think much of it because you don't get the opportunity to study it. When you see the detail in a portrait like this, it's hard to discount these animals as something you might run over with your car, or ignore."
The passion Bourne feels for photography is equal to the passion he feels as an educator of the public on behalf of the animals he's captured with his cameras. "A wolf may live seven or eight years in the wild," he says. "They're not going to be around forever, so taking their picture sort of preserves that wolf's story. I try to take the approach every animal I photograph might be the last picture of that particular animal anyone ever sees."
Subject knowledge is what informs Bourne, aiding him to make the best possible photograph he can. "Ninety percent of being a good portraitist is knowing a lot about your subject, whether your photographing a rock band, a CEO, or a bear." Accordingly, Bourne has an encyclopedic knowledge of a range of wildlife he's interested in photographing, including habitat locations, migratory timetables, and feeding patterns. "Sometimes it's just a matter of knowing where your subject's going to be," he continues. "In the wildlife photography world, a lot of it is just patience. Taking your time is critical."
The gravity of the combined mindset of historical importance and patience applies to Bourne's feelings toward photography in general. "I take photography very seriously. It's a sacred job," he cautions. "When people's homes are burning, they don't take the video game console. They take the wedding album or the box of family photos. We're documenting family history, wildlife history, national history. We look at old photos from the first days of photography—native American Indians and some of the work done during the Civil War, for instance. There will be times in the future when people will look at our photos with the same interest."
There is no end of equipment Bourne regularly uses in the field. "I have a lot of gear," he says. "I shoot both Nikon and Canon. I shoot Canon primarily for video, Nikon primarily for stills, although I have started to shoot Canon for some stills because of the beautiful new 800mm f/5.6 lens. In bird photography, there's never too much lens. My main bodies are a Nikon D3s and a Canon EOS-1D Mark IV. I use an Induro tripod for landscape work."
Tripods are critical to his wildlife photography. "I use a tripod almost 100% of the time, unless it's flight shots," he says. "If you want to try the most difficult shooting in the world, it's getting flight shots," he laughs. "But a tripod is essential. Sometimes I'm standing in a lagoon, sometimes I'm standing in the ocean. I beat that little Induro to death and it hasn't burped once. I'm hard on my gear. It's a tool for me, not a museum piece. I'll run a little water on it, and that's it. I'll get it wet every day for six weeks at a time and it's never caused me any trouble."
When shooting's done, Bourne uses both Apple Aperture and Adobe Lightroom. Photoshop is also used, when necessary. Promise hard drives with 16 terabyte RAID arrays store his images. A remote server in Minnesota backs up his data.
Many photography enthusiasts don't know Bourne by his impressive wildlife photography, but by the site he runs, photofocus.com. Founded in 1998, photofocus.com is a magazine devoted to photo advocacy and the education of photographers. It achieves this by reviewing photo-related products with a high degree of independence, journalistic integrity, and clearly-defined editorial ethics. Photographers can regularly visit this site and gain knowledge from product reviews, inspirational how-to articles, info on upcoming events and musings on new technology. The site gets 1.5 million page views per month and at the present growth rate, will top 2 million per month this year. Defying conventional wisdom, after choosing to concentrate on content rather than police comments and spam submitted to every article, site traffic has tripled. His Twitter feed has over 66,000 followers.
"It's rewarding to get mail every day from people saying how much this post or that post meant to them; that it changed their photography, or helped them," says Bourne. "Sometimes it's a little thing I've written, and I didn't think it would mean much to anyone, and I'm surprised by the response."
Bourne continues to teach, and is often on the road. As he sees his career winding down, he'll also keep writing for photofocus.com while managing his stock photography collection. His latest big news announced at this month's WPPI is the book he's co-authoring with industry giant Skip Cohen entitled Going Pro, to be published by Random House. It will be more than a book and include a podcast, a conference, and a blog. An exciting project, for sure, but it seems to be just one more outlet for Scott Bourne's deep passion for all things photographic. We'll keep reading and learning, Scott. Thank you.
Eric D. Brown's Engineering Approach
"Those birds just don't sit still for too long," Eric D. Brown quips. In the last year, Brown has heavily focused on bird photography. Operating from his home in the Dallas suburb of Wiley, Brown has been been aiming his lenses at everything from doves on his backyard fence to Dark-Eyed Juncos at the Spring Creek Forest Preserve to stunning Great Blue Herons at Bob Woodruff Park.
"Bird photography has allowed me to become a better photographer," Brown explains. "Anyone can take a picture of a bird, but to capture the detail and character of the bird is what I'm after." The work Brown shares on his photography blog is testament to his rapidly emerging skills. "I've always been a very noncreative person," declares Brown, an Oklahoma native and engineer by training. "I'm very analytical, and that's coming into play in my photography. You have numbers and settings. You can play around with them and see what they do for you. It's been a lot of fun for me."
Shooting a Canon EOS 5D with a 24-105mm lens and a 7D sporting super telephoto lens, Brown's workflow is all-digital. Now working as an IT consultant, Brown's passion for photography was sparked by his wife Tracie, a professional portrait photographer , on their trip to Yosemite National Park. "On my first trip as a shooter, I stood next to her and took photos of what she took photos of," Brown laughs.
Being a wildlife photographer, Brown spends much of his time slogging out to isolated locations. Even moreso than a studio photographer, all aspects of his gear are examined and evaluated. That he is an engineer certainly doesn't lower the criteria he uses as benchmarks. "I'm always walking with the Induro tripod slung over my shoulder, the camera and big lens attached, trudging through the fields and small woods we have here," he says. "When I find a place I want to shoot, I just throw down the tripod in the mud, or whatever might be there. I level it off as best I can on uneven ground and grab some photos. It's perfectly fine and there's no stability problems at all."
"I was out this weekend and had some mud on the seat of the tripod. It can get caked on there, but you just scape it off and it's good to go," says Brown. Currently shooting atop an Induro CT314 Carbon Fiber 8x tripod, which was a gift from his wife, Brown has gone so far as to write a detailed review of it on his blog. "I love the product. I've been out shooting with it for the last month and love the stability of the thing."
"I shoot with incredibly big and heavy lenses. The platform needs to be very stable, whether I'm shooting birds 20 or 200 feet away," Brown explains. "The slightest bit of tremor cause the picture to be unsharp, at the least. I don't put any extra stabilization or weight under it at all."
Brown's choice of subject matter was enforced by his geographic location. "Being in Dallas, there's not a lot of wildlife unless you drive a few hours," he explains. "Birds, however, are everywhere here. They were a way to learn how to take a better picture because I could just go out in my backyard and photograph four or five different species. I'm always looking to shoot wildlife other than birds, though."
Birds are not the only wildlife he photographs. "I love to shoot anything I can, but where I'm located, I'm largely focused on birds," he says. Non-wildlife subjects raise other interests and shooting philosophies for Brown. "I don't do any portrait photography. It's more challenging for me to take a good photo of a person than of a bird. I do like architecture, though, but I haven't had much of a chance to get out and learn how to do it properly."
In the future, Brown has his sights on something more difficult. "The thing I want to work on and get better at is birds in flight," he says. "I'm pretty well-versed in them sitting in one place, but to get a sharp, clear composition of them flight is my next area to get into. I haven't gotten one I'm happy with yet."
Brown is also interested in building up a workshop organization which will bring great photographers to teach Dallas-area shooters new skills. I used to teach, and I like doing it, so I think this might bring my passions together. My greatest contribution, though, will be more administrative, putting the entire thing together." We wish him well, and look forward to hearing more news on his Dallas workshops and seeing those birds in flight.

Did she leak out her nappy at all or was she excessively sweating? I have saw my two come out in terrible looking rashes before if they have had a leak during the night and their vest has been wet and touching their skin (obviously without me knowing). I would coat it in sudocrem and see if that clears it. Thats what i did and it worked x
