Gripe of the Week: The Warcraft Drug
by Sunfyre on May.01, 2010, under Gripe of the Week
So apparently I can’t go cold turkey from the Warcraft Drug. I managed to get talked back into raiding again since it’s only 2-3 times a week, and while I often will be out of town and unable to raid, the times I’m not I’ll be working from home and able to do my errands/etc during the day and not consume my whole day with work + raiding.
Have any of you ever had this problem where you just can’t walk away?

Latest on Mon, 10:14 amSunfyre: Not really, but treants get worse.
Jim: Hey Sunfyre. I get the legendary Meta soon. Does anything Major change when i get to gem? Statweights, Playstyle. thx
Sunfyre: When you hit 0 energy, in 5.1, you'd go to 20 energy. + 40 energy from one cast to 60 energy, + 40 energy from cast #2, that's 100 energy. Now you go from 0 energy to 40 energy. Cast #1 brings you to 80. Cast #2 is still required, and it brings you to 100 energy (which is really 120 but you get nothing for that extra energy). The amount of casts did not change. 2.
gore: Wait, what you just said doesn't make sense. What makes us go straight to 20 energy? With SotF it takes 2 casts to reach lunar. 2 casts to reach solar. Without SotF it takes 3, correct me if i'm wrong.
S: Sorry, I don't understand where your getting the 20 from, 100 80 60 40 20 0 40 80 100 or sotf 100 80 60 40 20 0 (40 sf + 40 sotf) 80 120 ??
Madnz: Hi sunfyre, how would you say the 4p t15 will be with SoTF? Does that also maybe make mastery more valuable?
Sunfyre: You already go 20-Lunar, 60, 100. Going 40-80-100(120) is the same amount of casts to hit 100.
Cohumulone: Hey Sunfyre. I'm trying to wrap my head around what you've been saying about SotF. How exactly does it not reduce Starfire casts by 1?
Braeden: Started a Druid....3 days ago or something like that.... Anyways i got to lvl 60 and im not using gear SETS so much as im using the things that look especially helpful such as Int and Spir Stacke, Occasionally with some 14-15 haste involved..... Im not one of those guys who go out and get the best pve/pvp gear But i really need some help..... im a resto balance mix and well my hits are only doing about 5K at lvl 60 :/ what sohuld i do?
Sunfyre: SoTF wasn't much of a buff. It didn't reduce starfire casts to lunar, and only reduced wrath casts by potentially one. I'd stick with incarnation.
Moonkin Count!

Oh hell yeah. Back in BC this was pretty terrible. I was raiding with a late night guild from Pacific time (and I’m form Montreal) So they were always playing till like 2 am THEIR time, I was up with them till then. So I wasn’t asleep till 6 AM and started skipping class to sleep. Dark days indeed!

Not really as WoW always comes last in my priority list.
However …
I do like to play it because of the online ‘friends’ I have made. Quitting WoW means quitting to play with them which kinda sucks.

Yeah, I do have the same problem as you, but I think im starting to being able to manage my time now, before it was even worse when i didnt finish off important stuff because of raiding.

I started playing since Beta in europe. And seriously I didnt manage the time I spent on wow till about 3 months ago.. so lots of years wasted on my behalf
Looking forward to SC2 though.. kinda miss a good RTS game.
but hey.. It’s a great game.

Hah, I knew you couldn’t quit. You need to give me the bear card from J.Z. Good luck with your upcoming changes.
