World of Warcraft Addon: Recount

October 25th 2010 10:52

In World of Warcraft, there are countless Add-ons that the game can use to help enhance their game play. One of the more popular ones when it comes to the Combat category is Recount.

Recount is a graphical damage meter that you can use to see how your damage ranks among other players in your party or raid group.

In World of Warcraft, it is important to know how well the group is succeeding in dishing out the damage and that means total damage in addition to DPS or Damage Per Second.

The add-on pulls information from your combat log and puts it into readable tables to each person can have a better understanding of where they stand.

This is a nice tool to have because it shows you the overall performance of the group and breaks it down so you can see where if there are any gaping holes in the damage dealers.

You are even able to share the results in text format in chat in case you are the only member of your party who has Recount.

Just remember, these are only tools to use when you are examining your group and should not be used to make decisions on who to keep and who to drop.

You can find the Recount Add-on for your World of Warcraft experience at Curse.om.

Here are the previous Add-ons that were discussed.

World of Warcraft Video: Raid Eats

October 23rd 2010 13:51
Gamer Hints came across this World of Warcraft video the other day and has become an instant classic for fans of the MMORPG and those who like the Good Eats television show with on the Food Network.

It comes some basic information from the World of Warcraft game when it comes to Cooking along with some humorous one-liners.

Here is the first of the four episodes that have been created for this.

The arrival of the World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm, means new areas to explore but also major changes when it comes to the talent system and the way you play your Arms Warrior.

For starters, Blizzard has made the decision to change how the statistics of our characters are figured out. They removed Block value from shields, Weapon skill, and Defense from the game. Warriors should know that they also changed how Parry works. It will no longer speed up your attack and does not provide 100% avoidance.

Another big change for the Warrior class is that your character will take on a more specialized role within your talent tree instead of seeing variations.
When your Warrior reaches level 10, you will be given the choice of which Talent tree you wish you specialize in; from Arms, Fury, and Protection.

Once you make your selection, you will be locked into the Talent tree until you spend 31 Talent points. The only way to change this would be if you paid to have your Talents unlearned at your Class trainer.

As an Arms Warrior will receive the talent Mortal Strike and be given the ability to specialize in two-handed weapons, no more dual wield Arms Warriors.

The Arms Talent tree was altered by Blizzard to help keep them in line with the other classes. In the first tier of talents you will see a new talent, Field Dressing, that is going to increase the self healing of Enraged Regeneration, Blood Craze, Second Wind, and Bloodthirst by 10/20% and all healing by 3/6%.There is also War Academy which is going to increase the damage dished out by Heroic Strike, Victory Rush or Slam.

Blizzard made a nice change to Impale on the Arms Warrior second tier talents. It will now specifically increase the critical strike damage of Mortal Strike, Slam, and Execute by 10/20%. Another interesting talent added to the Arms Talent tree is Lambs to the Slaughter. This talent will give your Arms Warrior an increased attack speed by 12/24/36% after dealing a mortal strike.

Later on in the Arms Talent tree you will see Disarming Glare which will cause your target to be disarmed and cower in fear for 5 or 10 seconds, depending on how many points you dump into it. The tree is rounded out by Bladestorm.

For those remembering how hard it was to decide between two-handed weapons or dual specialization for your Warrior, remember you can pickup Dual Talent specialization for 100 gold now. This way you can pick up the Arms Talent tree and add another to satisfy your need.

The following video for World of Warcraft was created in the same vein as the famous comedy routine, Who is on First?. While the video may be a few years old, it still brings a smile to your face and a chuckle from within when the two continue to go back and forth.

Hope you enjoy

I have been playing on the Alliance side of Maelstrom. Ever since I found RP-PVP, I have been hooked.

Where do you call home?

I am in complete agreement with the mousepad.

As for the date, I have been hearing around Nov or Dec of this year, just in time for Christmas. From what I gather they were trying for October but wanted to wait another month.
